Are you ♥♥♥♥ing kidding?

[Broso]

How OUT OF YOUR ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MIND do you have to be to come up with a negative status effect that makes you lose thousands of gold PERMANENTLY upon getting hit? That has to be one of the most insane design decisions I have EVER seen. Holy ♥♥♥♥ing ♥♥♥♥.

Add to that how enemies can just stunlock and juggle you in this and it's just a ridiculous ♥♥♥♥ show from there. So happy none of that ♥♥♥♥ made it into Ys 8.

1. The amount of gold you lose is very little compared to what you get at the respective point in the game.

2. I've 100%ed the game once when it came out on PC for the first time (the Chinese Joyoland version) and am close to doing it a second time now, and not a single time have I been stunlocked or juggled any more than it can happen in Lacrimosa of Dana. Even IF it happens, you can switch to another character for a second and avoid all of it.

Sorry, but this is just another case of "get good".

Here you're just talking out of your ass. I'm still only getting about 5-10k gold per quest or map completion hand in and only getting hit by the ailment once already lost me 20k.

An alternative for you is to practice a lot of Flash Guards and Moves, and/or saving a lot when you see you're gonna lose money.

Oh yeah, I reloaded after that.

This alternative also works if you need to farm materials or enemies since it also resets the actual map you're in. But yeah, this status is really trolling and if you can't keep up with the guards/moves, you just need to save carefully every time you encounter these enemies.

Also, as far as getting good, I may not be particularly good at evasive maneuvers, but I have played Ys 8 and on a higher difficulty at that and it did not feel as bad as in this one here in terms of quickly losing control to stunlocks.

I have too much money and killing Golden Pikkards that's found early in the game becomes easier as you get more powerful.

Also to the OP, how many skills did you unlock? If you gotten to near late game and only have 4-5 skills per character, you aren't making efficient use of skills.

Every since the last update to make flash guard and flash move easier to use, I can spam flash guard during a aoe attack and reap a massive gain on my Extra charge, while causing slo-mo to the entire game for about 10 seconds if i keep rapid firing guard.

What's the name of this stat? Is it misfortune? Why not just equip the accessory to protect against it when in that area?

[Broso]

Because I didn't have it at that point.
