Yeah, I dropped down in front of him and grabbed that shield.
No idea who or what that could be, as the forest is/was something of prominent blindspot in my DS knowledge. Don't tell me, I'll find out later.
Go ahead and explore the area behind him. It's one I've described before.
The Hydra has only two attack patterns, and the ranged one is far more dangerous than the melee one. If you can close to melee, have a decent shield, and possibly a ranged option just in case (because the melee pattern can still be annoying), the Hydra becomes very easy.
I'd actually forgotten exactly where the key was until I looked it up, but the miniboss it hides is impossible to forget. The key is found in the forest, but it's actually used in the Burg.
Yes. It usually took me about six hits IIRC, but all of my builds ended up being "balanced str and dex, with pyromancy on the side." I never experienced the glorious OP of a proper mage build.
Don't worry, that happens a lot.
Birb. Two cultists went down easy enough, got Reaper off to bring my HP back up a little, but man his attack goes too high. Needed more shield... Or to not have the artifact that limited me to six cards per turn.
From what I've heard, that sword is kind of a noob trap. Better to use one of the other weapons, so you can actually master the mechanics, because the advantage from the Drake Sword isn't going to last long, and then you'll be screwed.
Yeah, the trick to birb is not to use Powers until his second form. Curiosity is very tough to deal with if you're power-heavy.
Oh. I thought the demo was laggy because it was a demo, not because they were idiots.
Wait, why would it being a demo make it laggy? I used to mess around with a lot of demos back in the day and never had lag issues.
You don't. It's mostly just rats and the occasional Basilisk along with some other enemies. You can get through it with basic weapons along with the following area Blighttown.
As I said, barely anyone actually crafts divine weapons. You can find a unique one by exploring the path behind the Black Knight that you fought in Darkroot. There's a tunnel with a bonfire (use it!), an elevator, and then a new area.
Are they still using the Crystal Engine?!
yeah, Drake-town. That's why I want to get the Ember for Lightning equipment.
They haven't used the Crystal Engine since the FF13 series ended. I think they are using the same engine as FF15, which is the Luminous Engine.
Divine and Lightning damage are two different kinds. The canyon has three items of note:
So there is no special Ember for applying Lightning to weapons? Because I meant that I was hoping to get the Lightning Ember as soon as I could.
Lightning damage only comes from a few specific spells (you already made it to the shrine that the Hellkite was guarding, so the next step is to put down a white soapstone and do some co-op) and Gold Pine Resin (can purchase up to 8 and farm them from an enemy that you can theoretically access but it's a pain to reach early).
There's a lightning enhancement, yes. Doesn't require a new ember though, you just have to find the big(ger) blacksmith and have a +10 weapon already. Takes Titanite chunks.

He's able to make parodies of good games
Iirc that is one of the big reasons FFXIV originally did so poorly. Way too much graphical detail that was required for everything
I think you mean FF15 instead of FF14. But yes, FF15 was more of a cinematic movie that sometimes lets you press buttons than a game. To the point that I think most of the development time was spent on crystal particle effects
We have very different memories of FFXV
