Co-op question for those familiar with the games

[Play Metaphor]

Is the co-op a story-only thing, can you decide to just kill monsters online with others or a mixture of both?

[Gamer23]

You can add npc as stand in for online players. If i can remember correctly, story mode is single player only.

[Play Metaphor]

But even after I complete the game, is there an online portion where I can keep playing with others or something?

[Gamer23]

Alot of maps to play in and most require you to team up with players to beat it as it might be hard/ insanely so. As npc ai are not the best.

How many party slots does the game have?

[silenticehunter]

4 player slots

NPC AI is basically there for:

-The aragami to go after and give you a breather

-Resurrect you in case you die and healers will heal you

-Over Charge you with Aragami bullets

Both games are fully beatable solo, in fact there are missions where you cannot bring anyone with you

You can play story mode with players too, or a combination of NPC/players or just NPCs.

But only the host makes progress on the story, the other players need to host their own storys ; also there shouldnt be restricction for early on players joining end game and the other way around.

I am not sure where most of the people are getting their information from? The saves from both the multiplayer sequence as well as the singleplayer are the same so you keep your items/progress you may get from the missions(progress only counting if host is on the same story mission as you).

Equipment is rank locked anyways, so even if you do get good mats from a friend carrying you, you would not be able to use it.

tl;dr story mode can be played co-op

For what I read, Im pretty sure people just remember their experience when playing God Eater Burst back on the day on PSP. At least thats what I did.

Fair enough, I am sure most people here had the intention of helping, however OP was probably referring to RES/GE2/RB.

In the JP versions, the 3 games had multiplayer support throughout the whole campaign so you will be able to use the same save throughout your singleplayer/multiplayer playthrough as stated before in my previous comment. Hope this helps out anyone reading.

One of the best things about GE co-op is that the story and NPCs do not lock out other players. Players will override a story NPC if need be. So you can do a story 4 player cop-op even if canonically, they aren't suppose to be there.
