@NinjaAceTrainer You must be mistaken.

Translated:

  • Yoshitsune (Akhos)
  • Benkei (Patroka)
  • Satahico (Mikhail)
  • Kamui (Obrona)

That leaves Zantez, Lago, and Watch. To clarify, I don't know their individual translations. Thanks to the official UK report, we know these three are Perdido, Cressidus, and Sever. Everyone is accounted for.

Just to be clear, with this New Game+ mode, I can choose to lower my level, and spend the EXP on those accessories expansions. Thus, when I go to an inn, I couldn't just raise my level back to where it was before.

I wouldn't be particularly interested in playing a New Game+ if I just breezed through it.

DLC update! (Spoilers)

"The official site "production note" has been updated too! This time, the update data to be delivered next week from Kantoku Takahashi (Ver. 1.3.0) is also an announcement about! https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/adena/production-notes/inde... … "

One of the key focal points here is the addition of several rare Blades: Yoshitsune (Akhos), Benkei (Patroka), Satahico (Mikhail), Kamui (Obrona), Zantez, Lago, and Watch. Perdido is already confirmed in an image included within the production note.

I can't find what Perdido's Japanese name is, though. Regardless, it's fair to assume the rest of the untranslated names are Torna Blades. If anyone knows, feel free to share!

So if I am reading this correctly, then Perdido is infact the English name of either Zantez, Lago or Watch, right? If so, sorry about the confusion, my mistake, I just didn't get that from reading your initial post. Regardless, I am very excited for all of their blade quests.
Wait a second... If Mikhail can act as a blade, then could Zeke act as a blade too? Imagine Rex with Nia, Mikhail and Zeke altogether! But wait... didn't Akhos, Patroka, Mikhail and Obrona all die? How does that work?

@NinjaAceTrainer It's New Game+. The bizarro realm where you can one-shot a boss and then inexplicably lose to them in a cutscene. The devs are running with the assumption that you've already legitimately experienced everything in a normal playthrough, so they're allowing you to throw away most of the grunt work and logistics in the name of fun. That includes owning blades you have no right to obtain normally, setting levels as high or low as you please etc.

Alone, a force. Together, a force of nature.

@meleebrawler In that case, I really want Zeke as a blade. Or Shulk. Or the Architect, why not?

@NinjaAceTrainer New Game Plus isn't DLC, it's a free update for everyone. The DLC blade is the blade you get later on in the year if you bought the expansion pass.

@Grumblevolcano Oh, that's great! Thanks a lot for that. If it is Shulk, that would be amazing. Alvis, Malos or Jin would be good too.

@EvilLucario You wouldn't be able to increase to the original level as you've already used some of the bonus XP. It mainly depends on how expensive the items are.

@Grumblevolcano Either way, getting back to level 99 isn't hard, and if you know how the game works you can kill anything at massively lower levels.

I for one would be happy if all the enemies stayed at their regular levels in NG+. That way I can start the game over at level 71 (where I left off my original playthrough), and gradually hopefully work my way up to level 80 or even 90 by just playing the game.

PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

Well, that went great. I'm at the final boss. I lost twice to it and I was doing great on my third try but then just as I was about to kill one of the reinforcement guys (which I'd guess was the last one of those since the boss didn't have much energy left) that enemy used its blowdown attack and sent me down to my death. That was enough for today. At least I know to position myself better next time.

It's its, not it's.

@Late Yeah, blowdown deaths suck. You should seal reinforcements with a dark blade combo finisher, or seal blowdown with a wind blade combo finisher.

@NinjaAceTrainer Yes. I tried a different team and my dark blades were on Mòrag. I was starting to think I somehow didn't set those blades since she didn't switch from Brighid until the first reinforcements appeared. And once I got rid of them, she started using just Brighid again. I think I didn't have any wind blades in that battle either since I switched Roc out for Nia. I wanted to try out the new move and see how powerful it is.

@Late Fair enough. If you are having trouble completing any blade combo though, just activate Pyra/Mythra's true form.

@NinjaAceTrainer That's what I did just before the guy appeared who killed me. I had Rex, Tora and Mòrag (don't really care about my damage input at the moment, mainly want to stay alive so I have two tanks just in case) so I had to have either Nia or one of Mòrag's two dark blades start the combo to get a dak finisher.

I should have started the combo with Nia before changing Pyra's form but I forgot. I waited for Mòrag to switch her blades but after a while I stopped waiting and started a different combo.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. I was doing fine until I got hit by the blowdown. I'm sure I'll be able to finish the game today. Thank you for your tips even though I was aware of those things already. I didn't pay much attention to the seal effects until I read one of the posts here where they were mentioned and I've been doing fine without them. This is the only boss in addition to the Temperantia boss that has killed me 3 times and I'm glad the final boss isn't a pushover.

It's its, not it's.
