Anytime! Your content is always a treat to watch! Keep it up man

Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed! It's a pretty fun game

Hell yeah dude

Thanks for checking out the content I appreciate it man, this video took a lot longer than I wanted it to take but I'm glad it's out.

Johnny Yong Bosch is one of my favorite voice actors, he does some really good work. Thank you for checking out the video and the compliment! Yeah one of the things I've noticed after Daggerfall is how little modern games have us really imagine stuff as we play aside from maybe sites we haven't seen yet but Daggerfall being an older title and looking at it in retrospect reminds me of reading books or game magazines/manuals and how different my mind worked back then to now for gaming.

It should work. This wasn't like the other characters techniques where it's from animation cancelling a skill or a move to further increase the combo. Best way would be to test it out in training mode, if you can do the guard cancel tech try this afterwards and it should work if the former works.

@@Akholyte Look forward to it after my shift. Yoda is so fun. :)

Glad it helped you out! If anything was unclear you can always comment it and I don't mind trying to rephrase any explanations

I starte to play after the patch and I am glad the cancel got fixed cause it looked silly I wanna swing a sword

The characters are all different, the movesets themselves are a bit simple but they are different, most of them have gimmicks they revolve around. My advice to you if you like the game but don't want to grind too heavy is pick only a few characters you really like if you get the game and the grind can be minimal. Combat is fun in my opinion, hope you enjoy!

I do also feel this way but I've yet to try the new fight out. If the mobile game's mechanics are anything to off of you probably will like some sort of support for the new fight, to buff damage but to also debuff the boss

The ascension weapon becomes stronger once you have some tiers put into it. I believe it's at tier 4 and up it's stronger but because it requires silver centrums I'd just keep grinding proto baha for the terminus weapon. That weapon is stronger than the ascension when they're both maxed out so that's what I'd do. If you really don't want to farm it though the ascension is fine as another option but you'll have to awaken it a few times first before it's better than crit

Appreciate it! @@Akholyte

Anytime! Enjoy the game man!

Yeah I totally understand that, I do feel that at times right now but for the most part it's just a game I enjoy. Regardless of the videos or if the build crafting is simple to me it's always been about fun first and foremost. I'm excited for wilds a lot, whether this game adds more depth or not I think it's okay maybe it'll get people who have never tried mh into the next game! While I've enjoyed grinding relink I don't feel motivated to make a guide for every single character unless it's somebody I personally like playing so I'm just taking the updates as they go, I figured I'd make this to see how others feel. With all that said I do think the game has a ton of potential so I hope to see more from it in the coming months

Yeah, personally I don't use supplementary damage, the character I've played the most is Percival so if I want some extra damage I'll just throw on traumerei (I know it stacks with sup damage and makes it higher but max dps isn't really my goal) I like slotting in some extra defensive sigils in it's place. Hopefully the new sigils coming will add something fun to character builds

You mean like being able to resist debuffs with a capped out trait to that debuff? Yeah I haven't really ran this myself only because it doesn't feel as strong as some of the other defensive options to me. I can see it being useful though

@@Akholyte Yeah, those. I can see them adding some bosses that'll need a few things like that just to manage. I've been holding a few just in case lol

I'm confused, are you saying the game should focus on co op or are you saying that's what I said? If it's the latter I mean sure I'm advocating for buffing quick quest to make multiplayer alluring and have people play with each other but you can also do quick quests offline with your party. So technically it still benefits solo players.

You know the problem is when i host no buddy get into my game quest 😭 Im playing the game for 100 hours and idk why the matchmaking so sucks in this game maybe they need to add a solution for this

Yeah right now match making is bad because most people are afk farming and don't have a reason to play together. I think with the changes I listed for multiplayer this could be fixed.

@@Akholyte thanks a lot

Hopefully some cool weapons I want new drip

Comments and mentalities like this are the reason why stuff doesn't change. The whole point of discussions like this is to get players thinking about the games they like and if it could be improved. Or if maybe it's good the way it is to most people and it doesn't need to change. Not once in this video can I say I'm right or wrong for my critiques but rather just how I feel about the game and if that challenges the way somebody feels about something and we can have a cool discussion about it. Differences or not then that's enough for me. The doomer mindset of nothing will change or just being overtly negative about stuff is corny. There are so many games out there so even if this game doesn't change or exactly fit the bill of what I'd like to see that's fine. There will be other games, and there's also the chance discussion videos like this have people thinking in their own way how they'd improve the game. Stuff like this can cause change, is it 100% confirmed they're gonna change something because of a youtube video or because people disagree with the developers? No but there's no harm in putting your thoughts out there.

@@Akholyte See what happens? AI keyword algorithm deletes my comments. You gamers are clueless as to what is going on and who controls the major corporations. They are international, a small group who owns everything including your games and they hate you/all of us. I can't talk to you here, I've been banned 12 times on this shit platform.

Yeah I don't know if the wings will have the separate health bar it might be a bit confusing to people unfamiliar with the mobile game or that are just hopping into the fight unaware of mechanics but I figured I'd mention it because you never know. It's really cool reading a mobile players input on the fight as I love stuff like this! I took a look at the second phase and I was like surely they won't be including all of this (the 12 labors in particular seemed like a lot to memorize but it was just my first time reading it. I'm sure it gets easier the more you play the fight) but if they do include some of his mechanics from that it honestly sounds exciting! Do you think we'll be getting a weapon drop or something from this fight? I believe people said he might drop dark opus weapons but I'm not too familiar with the raids in gbf. To be honest I was only doing omega raids last time I was playing so I'm still in the baby stages basically. Regardless I'm excited for whatever they do as it does look fun. Also the music is gonna pop off so I can't wait to experience that. One thing I'm wondering is if he'll change forms at half health maybe or if we'll have to deplete two health bars. I do kinda hope it's a longer fight

@@Akholyte yep i agree, we never know until it released xD. From my experience on mobile, yes it is easier the more you play, even nowadays people just skipping some labor or only removed a certain annoying labor and can still clear the raid without clearing all labors. I expect he will drop a weapon like terminus or give the materials to make the real dark opus weapon( we already have one of the model on that fake opus sword skin). Thought on the mobile he only drop the materials and we have to craft it(but proto bahamut on relink also drop a weapon not craft it so maybe we'll get a drop too on this fight). The problem is the dark opus weapon is not much as the total characters on relink. There is only 12 dark opus with 6 type of weapons(2 swords, 2 staffs, 2 harps, 2 spears, 2 katanas) , some of the characters on relink have a same weapon type(sword used by gran/djeeta,pecival,sieg,etc) and some characters doesnt have the proficiency same as the opus(there is no dark opus gun for rackam/eugen). Or Maybe some of characters will have the dark opus and the others who doesnt have the opus version will get another weapon just like terminus drop. We dont know about his HP bar but if he only have 1 bar, then probably he changed into blue form at 50%. And some mechanic changed or dps check at 25% or 10% cause on the mobile game he cast gopherwood ark on 25% and it's kinda hard to survive long on that phase, we need to kill it fast before we're dying and probably a paradise lost again at 10%. I kinda hope it's a longer fight.

Are the Terminus weapons 1 to 1 with their mobile game counterparts? I noticed everyone has a unique weapon that's why I'm asking but I know in the mobile game characters share weapon types but because the main character is the one that actually equips a different weapon I assume it's a bit different. It'd be interesting to see what they do for the weapons but I'm really curious about what the effects will be compared to terminus and what we currently have in relink. Skipping phases in the fight sounds cool but I guess we'll have to wait to see what strategies people develop and if we'll need specialized teams for the fight due to things like axiom and his passives. For the fight I'm hoping for 2 whole hp bars but who knows. The different weapons was cool to hear about thank you! The mechanics for the fight will definitely be cool especially since it'll be my first time experiencing the Lucilius fight. Good luck on the 14th!

@@Akholyte Terminus is a terms only for relink, there's no terminus on the mobile but proto bahamut have his own weapon series on mobile ,some of the character are using it like id and rosetta( the weapon have "bahamut" on its name ex: sword of bahamut, dagger of bahamut,etc). Terminus on relink is mixed series of weapon ,they are using random series weapon like superlative(any weapon that magliele called on her trigger and narumaya's ameno, ghandagoza's sky piercer ) , illustrious series(vaseraga and cagliostro), draconic weapon(eugen), grand weapon(katalina), revenant weapon(gran/djeeta) , yodarrha's using a normal weapon dropped from event as his terminus, ferry's terminus is her signature weapon from gacha when we got her and some chara even use the other character's weapon from the game like percival's gottfried(it's aglovale's weapon, aglovale is percival brother). you can check on the wiki for more details or what kind of weapon series/just a normal weapon of their respective weapon. Percival's lord of flames is a grand weapon also his signature weapon on the mobile but not being terminus on relink while katalina is using an other character's grand weapon(it is not her signature on mobile , her signature is murgleis) as her terminus, terminus is just a mix of randomize weapon that have a same type with the character. You too man, good luck on 14th 👍. Hope you enjoy it.

There's obviously no way to tell and I don't think the animation canceling was 100% intended to get around using the moves but who knows how we'll go from here. I do think the new fight looks cool though! So I'm excited for this coming week. If he's got any of his debuffs from the original fight then supporting stuff will be really clutch so I think that's great

I don't expect the update on the 14th to be that crazy, the livestream happened it's seemingly just the fight along with some other adjustments we don't know yet but I am hoping the April or May update will have a good amount of content.

You'll get it man don't stress! Just keep grinding 💯. If I may ask though how many hours do you have? Currently I've put in around 120 hours

The first character and few after in my opinion is really fun! I just think down the line the magic wears off a bit. I do think the game is great but some changes would go a long way. Hope you're enjoying relink!

Yeah the duo or triple bosses can be a bit of a hassle at times, I've found them less annoying after I've run the quests a few times and know the fight better. I'm sorry to hear about the multiplayer thing I do think that sucks and if they buffed quick quests you'd find more people that way. Be sure to voice your feedback on their website so they can see the issues you're having! Hopefully they'll discuss some of this stuff in tomorrow's livestream but who knows.

Sounds like fun! Currently I'm trying to build Vaseraga as a tanky boy for the Lucilius fight, once I am happy with his build I'll be moving onto my next character!

@@Akholyte yaaa with the undying skill he really do be a fun tank to play xD

I'm not sure if your first comment was directed at me because of this video but by no means do I want this to be some forever game live service styled experience. I played the game for over a hundred hours already and had a blast! I'm not expecting the Lucilius update to answer the concerns I raised here necessarily. The point of this video was to get the discussion going, see if other players agree, disagree, or drew their own ideas from this and to give that feedback to the developers. Just because it's not going to be a live service game updated for years to come doesn't mean we can't have some new build variety or some quality of life like having quick quests be more impactful, keeping people playing online together. I don't think any of the comments here have stated people want this to be a forever game either, people just want their to be a bit more depth to the experience, there's nothing wrong with that. Like I proposed with status builds in the video, it's a system that's already in this game and that the developers have the monsters do to us players, what's to say we can't use those for fun builds in return? I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for that. "I get the wish to have better build variety, but if not even GBF itself has that, do not hope for something else here." - I don't agree with this. This game is essentially many of the mobile game's systems transferred to a 3d arpg but that doesn't mean it only has to do things present in the mobile game, I'm obviously not the person creating this game but that doesn't mean I, or others can't have our own wishes for how the updates of this game play out. I think if the devs didn't care about feedback and ways to improve the game they wouldn't have had an option for that on the website, most companies don't. At most you get customer support pages but that is not the same thing as asking for feedback to improve the quality of the game. They have an excellent foundation here and can do a lot with it, throwing ideas into the pot is better than us just being like "This is how the game is so it'll always be this way" Games can change, updates change games all the time. No reason why this game should be any different as it is it's own thing, not the mobile game or another game in the genre. If they don't change stuff that's fine, eventually people will move on from this game regardless, I've already had a ton of fun and think it's an excellent game but a little more depth wouldn't hurt anybody. Not saying you were implying we can't ask for stuff but this is how I view games and stuff like this so I figured I'd give you my two cents. Thank you for the discussion!

I do agree some more communication would be nice but you also have to look at it from their POV they probably didn't expect the game to sell as well as it did or have such a high player count considering the road map is so short, with updates only up to may I believe. Unless they do start addressing some of the current issues of the game though idk if that many people will return for update after update. I could be wrong though and I don't mean to sound like a doomer!

Like I said in the video I don't really thing damage cap is the problem but rather just that reaching it is so easy and it's just the best way to play with no real counters to that argument. There aren't really reasons to currently run support stuff like buffs or maybe sigils that have defensive abilities. Like you said, there is a chance because of how the Lucilius fight will be level 200 maybe we will need to slot in more defensive options and then buffs can come back into play to make up for the lost damage, that'd be a step in the right direction but I do want to see more. Such as new weapon effects for either supporting playstyles or maybe specializing in different things such as stunning a monster or applying status effects on them! We'll see what they say tomorrow.

Thanks for watching and I'm glad it resonated with you! If you haven't it'd be appreciated if you dropped some feedback to the devs through their website and we see some change. I feel the same way, like I could boot up any of the older MonHun titles or ones I've sunk a lot of time into and still have a great time even having completed most of the content!

I do agree some wacky out there builds that can change your playstyle is super fun in MonHun! Like I stated in the video I'm not too bothered by damage cap, I can see them increasing the levels of traits if we need to increase our damage but I'm just hoping they look at stuff like the feedback about sigils and create new ways to experience the same fights, would add some much needed variety!

@@Akholyte I absolutely agree, they should look at the assassins to be another way to increase cap instead of it all be on one sigil set. Injury to insult is wholly ineffective unless you're Rosetta, and lolThrow. Sigils need a discussion on unique additives not just Atk/Damage gain. Injury to insult should increase DoT damage. We should have more DoTs! Cap should be 100% cap and Break Assassin should be another 50-100. It would give value to enemy state chabging instead of ungabunga builds going max damage at any point in any fight. When the only build diversity is really "Are you Io/Vaseraga for Quick Cooldown" there is a slight problem here haha. When I mained Lancelot just because of the Flight over Fight meme build, because it was different there is a little problem lol

Thank you for watching man, I appreciate the positive feedback! Yeah the build variety is a major gripe with this game currently and does need some tuning. Like I said in the video personally I don't consider damage cap the main issue because of the lack of interesting sigils currently. Now if we had a bunch of cool sigils and builds to try out I'd definitely want it gone, my prediction is that they're gonna make higher level sigils that will shorten the amount we need to max out traits. Could be wrong but that's my guess. Boss attacks doing more damage would be cool so defensive options and tank playstyles would actually come into play! Same with breaking a boss doing something for the fight, honestly even when you break a boss they get knocked down for such a short amount of time sigils to increase that could be nice as well. So many ways for them to go about it. It seems like they're only taking feedback through their website so definitely a good idea to drop your thoughts there, I think what you said is some good stuff!

I've played the original game very casually so I wasn't too sure if it was like that in the og. I think that's okay most gacha games I've played are like that but I think for an arpg it'd be nice to have some variety. Thanks for that information though!

I do agree the queuing system needs to be changed, it's a bit ridiculous that you have to idle in place while waiting for a party to form. Would be nice if you could at least hit the dummy while waiting so it's not as boring or maybe hit up the merchants and side quests. I don’t think the damage cap is bad per say I just see a lot of players saying it's a major issue but to me it's only part of the problem. It's nice there's room for defensive and other utility options like stout heart after you're done stacking damage but I just think with some new variety like unique weapon effects that do other things than just damage increases and interesting sigil interactions would be nice. If there were a few different ways to play each character I think that'd be awesome

I couldn't have said it better myself, when I started my monster hunter journey with Gen U I started with longsword, tried greatsword, didn't really like either too much at first so I ended up going with Lance and stuck with it in Gen U and World, in Rise I really wanted to play Switch axe and honestly those two are my favorite weapons in monster hunter (SA and Lance). Two weapons that might not be so different in terms of being melee weapons but they feel drastically different in combat and I love that, sticking to the monster like glue with a lance and being able to block many things never got old for me, it made me value positioning. Using Evade extender on this and on the Switch axe would be so funny due to the massive distances you could hop (rip risebreak evade extender), the more aggressive style of the switch axe and explosive damage was always fun to break monster parts or to wake up monsters from their sleep. Monster hunter has so much going for it. It feels so hard to compare this game to monster hunter though because of how different it is, this game is more ffxiv/lost ark in the sense that you sit in an arena and fight a boss over traversing a mob where the monster has different characteristics and tries to simulate a real behavior pattern. While they can't do all this though it'd be really nice if this game had more player expression and build variety. This would go such a long way in keeping the game fun. Please provide your feedback onto the forum, I do think stuff like this is valuable and obviously I don't know if they'll listen to players but all we can do is hope something changes. I don't expect moveset changes but I do think builds and some player expression can be put into the game through things such as unique weapons or sigils. If not though, hey monster hunter wilds will be out next year!

@@Akholyte It's funny since i also started with the LS, then the GS, but got stuck with DB's; I wasn't a fan of huge numbers pop off, but rather a rain of damage accumulating over time. I had an exception with half-charged hammer swings for head stunning mons when stun used to work well in the previous generations. MY main gripe with Relink is how useless and obsolete buffs like Regen and Atk/Crit Dmg buffs scale in the late game. Once you've hit that sweet spot of 41k HP with Terminus+Aegis+Tyrrany for Catastrophe to proc, regen does absolutely nothing to sustain HP as majority of the attacks in higher Proud mode quests either one shot you if you're too greedy with DPS, or rip HP off so hard you're better off using Potion Hoarder and potting yourself up, not to mention Blue Pots has better overall utility by including your team. Even with a maxed out Sigil regen skill, 5% with a ridiculously slow tick is pointless. Then there's Atk buff, which most of the characters have, either as a self buff or a party buff. If attack buff bypasses Damage Cap, this provides more incentive to use characters that have multiple self buffs, or party-wide buffs to be used instead of all-in DPS characters or slot in support skills instead of damage skills. Yeah they'll probably break the game by doing this, but a simple solution of having a cap on top of the damage cap (say maximum 15% extra final damage for Atk and 30% Crit Dmg) doesn't make the buffs too game-breaking, but gives the buffs a reason to exist and be used. Some skills like Narmaya's Pink Petals buff is only slotted in for Supp Dmg, which looks and feels dumb tbh.

@@Akholyte Here's what I sent them: Granblue Fantasy: Relink Feedback Build Variation and Player Expression. Make changes to Sigil system (Dmg Cap for instance) that limits build optimization. Majority of Sigil Skills are pointless to use in late game once you reach Dmg Cap (Break Assassin/Overdrive Assassin, Life on the Line etc) when you can bypass their effects with the typical Stamina+Tyranny combo that lets to achieve Damage Cap. Make buffs like Regen, Atk Buff, Crit Dmg Buff relevant even in late game. As previously stated, once Damage Cap is achieved, Atk Buff and Crit Damage becomes worthless. Either have a capped additional damage addition (like 15% atk/ 30% crit damage), make bosses crit resistant requiring extra crit (for build variation and crit damage for viable builds). Regen is useless in late game as the HP scaling versus maximum regen against boss damage is worthless. A Single Potion Hoarder 15 is far Superior than having Regen 45. Introduce status attacks to Sigil Skills that complement characters with status debuffs like Slow/Freeze/Paralyze. Either make Sigils that endow status attacks over accumulated damage (like how Cascade works) or empower related character skills by reducing their general cooldown (on top of other cooldown reduction mechanics) or prolonging their duration.

I 100% agree buffs as they are now are so lack luster with the only ones finding some use would be buffs that work on defense really. Anything offensive related is just not worth it in the current meta and its a shame as I usually do like running some sort of supportive utility. I ran Percy's attack buff in the early multiplayer stages of the game but once I realized how quick you can get capped and not need this I was like damn this is a shame. I'm really hoping this upcoming live stream they'll at least acknowledge some of these pain points but who knows. I totally get you on playing DBs btw, I haven't messed around with them too much myself but some of the aerial DB moves in sunbreak were really satisfying to use so I messed around with them a bit there. Greatsword is definitely something I've come back to and appreciate/like more now but I'm really comfy with the switch axe and lance they feel so natural to me so it's probably what I'll be playing in wilds. Unless maybe they introduce a new weapon type like tonfas that'd be hype.

What you sent them seems solid. I didn't even think about how crit resistance could be a fun factor in these fights and I play games with that. Nice catch! Seeing buffs, some dps variety, whether you go a standard dps build or something more status/team related would be nice. I do definitely think this game could benefit from status stuff a lot especially as more characters get introduced, you could run mono teams in groups to proc statuses or maybe run 2 and 2 for different effects. I think there'd be a lot of fun interactions with that. Regen/drain definitely need a rework as well. I don't know if maybe they wanted to make healing less of a priority in this game but I can be fun to run in your build. Like in the video I described how drain isn't very useful for vaseraga but it would be nice if it was, I'd love to play some high risk high reward berserker play style in this game! Thanks for submitting your feedback man, the more people doing it the better chance something will change!

Yeah but that doesn't mean they can't change things up. Like I stated in the video I do think the game is very enjoyable now but I do think some depth would go a long way

You feel my pain mon hun bro, I really wish we had some consumable sigils, I do know there are some but due to healing caps and how it works it doesn't feel great to invest into.

But why.. If you boot up mhw now and joined a random fatalis or at velkhana no one really need the support. Might as well kill it faster

Well for starters, not everyone wants to build just damage. I also don't think it's as comparable because we're very much so in the early game here in relink still. With new updates to come having build variety would be nice. I don't want to play the same way for the rest of the games lifespan because that repetition becomes mind numbing.

I do think some type of pity would be nice, but you can kinda tell the reason there is no pity is to keep you grinding, I believe the drop rate is 10% not sure how true that is I only read it on a post but if that's true it's not that bad.

Wow.... you must be really unlucky. I've played Proto for two days and I have 8 weapons. A total of maybe 15-20 runs.

Yeah man this is exactly how I feel, over here it really feels like everyone is shoe horned into one build and it sucks
