Dark Cloud Part 41. Why Ruby is The Best Party Member in the Game.
So now that we've gotten our newly-found fanservice character, I thought I should go a bit more in-depth as to why I like to use her as my long-range character, and put in the same work for her that I will for Toan.
Well for starts, there's a much better effort-to-reward pay-off for working on her weapons. The other characters all have good final-tier weapons obviously, but not-so-great lower ones, whereas Ruby's all have decent damage out-put beyond her starting weapon. To top it off, her best weapons are also higher-damage than all the other characters besides Toan. In the actual dungeon she also has more attack options in terms of plain variety. Like Xiao, her damage will increase depending on her distance from the enemy. Unlike Xiao though, Ruby can instantly fire off an attack and doesn't have to wait for the spped gauge to fill first.Instead, Ruby's speed guage is used to charge her attacks up for even more damage. So she can attack instantly, or reserve herself for higher damage depending on the situation. If you're having a tough time with an enemy, it's a viable tactic to just charge up an attack and then wait for them to get close to you and release it for maximum damage output.
Another thing I forgot to mention last episode is how important it is that you finish the fishing store, because it unlocks one of the best rewards in the game..The fishing store... While it may not SOUND that great, I assure you that it is. For you see, here you can buy both Flapping Fish and any ice blocks you may need. Thats right, you can buy the back-floor key to the dungeon! At a relative inexpense as well, considering that you can easily sell any unneeded items/gems that you find when you get there and easily make the money back. This makes for an amazingly self-sufficient grinding scheme, and is my personal favorite way of doing so.
Other than that, we also finish Jack's Store. You want to wait until after you've gotten Ruby before getting his reward, since because of her...Persuasions...You get a little extra. Sheez, what did she do to all these guys anyway?...Anyways, with that you unlock a fully stocked weapon store.
I tried to tell you that Queens got you a bunch of handy rewards. There is more, but we'll get into that next batch. I was hoping to get a little plot stuff done, since thats my favorite part of this area, but I thought 6 videos was enough...Next time!
