ModeratorI just beat The Answer myself. No spoilers here though :)
It’s a good game. I was a bit skeptical at first and it is somewhat lighter on the plot than the original, especially early on. Combat’s tougher than The Journey, but it’s definitely not unbearable.
This entry made me really hate Yukari. She killed me twice because her "Heal/Assist" AI seems to be:
IF enemies.contains_wind_resist()
break_wind_resist(enemy)
ELSE IF sp_under_30_percent() && ally_wounded
use_goddamn_medicines_because_they_help_a_lot_thanks_yukari(ally)
ELSE IF enemies.contains_knocked_down_enemy()
use_magaru_to_let_them_get_up()
ELSE IF ally_wounded(half_health)
heal_single_target(ally_but_not_aigis)
ELSE IF ally_wounded()
heal_multi_target()
ELSE
i_wont_miss__pfft_lame()
END
Seriously… she wind breaks no matter how little SP she has… and she refuses to multi-target heal unless 2+ are below half health.
On the other hand, Akihiko is even more useful than before :)
Don’t get me wrong.. the AI adds difficulty, so in some respects I like it, but Yukari seems to have no clue. FES is still among my favorite games, the more I like a game the more I’m willing to complain about it :D

haha yea I agree…the best games can challenge and annoy you but they also tend to be the ones I obsess over beating the most. FES Answer was like that a lot (whereas the Journey wasn’t too much of a challenge at all).
The healing item situation is terrible…50 or 100 HP is just too little. And those break spells are fun especially since they cost so much SP to use.

ParticipantI don’t really have problems with yukari being dumb, mitsuru is my main issue

ParticipantThat sounds like the AI in Rogue Galaxy, where they run into enemy attacks, will ask to use abilities that don’t affect the enemy your facing, and generally be useless against Bosses.

ModeratorI wouldn’t say it’s that bad. Yukari and Mitsuru are the only characters that have issues with that sort of thing. I was able to rely on my teammates a lot throughout The Answer; they’re pretty solid during boss fights as long as you give them decent directions.

KeymasterYea Ice and Wind Break are awful. It definitely is usually Mitsuru doing that for me but she also bugs me with her Mind Charge. Actually I don’t mind that she does it, but wouldn’t it make sense to do more than just 2x the damage? Like 2.5x or 3x the damage? Because Mitsuru using Mind Charge and then Bufula takes off the same damage in 2 turns as her using Bufula in two successive turns.
Of course then her spells would be even more powerful than they already are so that’d make it too easy then
As for Rogue Galaxy I didn’t mind the other characters because I’d just put them in and spam their best spells a lot of the time. But yea, I don’t remember the AI too much for that one.

ParticipantWell like I’ve said before, I think once the AI gets more abilities to play with it doesn’t know the best way to use them. The AI is better about stuff at lower levels, it seems.
