People aren't playing YKW for long, drawn out strategic rock-paper-scissors turn based combat.

It's more about coaching the team and making sure you have the right players on the field.

I will say as someone who enjoys both 2 and 3, 2's pacing was overall much better. 3 feels like it can really drag on at certain parts, especially considering you don't get the actual Mirapo until chapter 5. Also having your story be cut between two characters where you don't merge until chapter 6 can have some drawbacks. I got Nate super fucking strong early on because of Blasters T, but Hailey was always struggling with shit, and I honestly think that's the reason her content is considerably easier, because she has less options.

Attached: 1542499514368.jpg (1200x1200, 196K)

Hailey gets more Yokai friends with Cupistol. And if you use QR codes to get coins you can have a much stronger team before chapter 6.

Are QR codes cheat codes? Should they be avoided until after you complete the 3 story?

sorry, i dont play fujomon

If you're patient and know about him, you can get Snartle almost immediately as Hailey, all you need is to recruit one of those little pointy chestnut-looking dudes in Sparkopolis and use it, Treeter and Usapyon to inspirit spam him to death. It only took me like ten tries to actually recruit him even with no friendship ups.

>Are QR codes cheat codes?
Nah, they're available to everyone from the get-go and getting good Yokai from coins is more of a luck of the draw than anything else. If you want to consider it cheating then go right ahead, you can also get the Yokai from the coins but only put them on your team when you unlock the Watch rank applicable (So if you get a B it "unlocks" B tier Crank-a-kai Yokai for you).

It's sort of like asking if Wonder Trade is cheating, ultimately it's your decision if it is or not because you can get good stuff from that as well.

there's like a million recolors in yokai watch dude don't get ahead of yourself. other than that though the franchise seems to be constantly improving with each iteration. wish I could say the same about pokemon

unfortunate that a few redditors decided it was cheating and got them all taken down

>Are QR codes cheating
No.

Honestly the Yokai Watch Dream is so fucking busted that you can one-shot shit like Jibanyan S, before he can even do anything, and if you played Blasters T at all you'll have a Forbidden Fruit to use on him.

>there's like a million recolors in yokai watch dude
Pokemon literally has recolors too, enough with the double standards.

but it's true that bombarding a game with content isnt necessarily good

Do whatever you like, I personally always play with the self-imposed restrictions of not using any Yokai higher than my current watch rank, and not using S-ranks at all until postgame. It keeps the game's difficulty a bit more balanced. I also didn't use the Yokai Watch Dream's blaster to damage bosses or harder yokai fights at all because that thing is retarded.

I've got an old 3ds xl and I'm fucking loving 3 (except why couldn't I pick Katie over Nate goddamnit) but good FUCK do the minigames drop frames. Blasters T, Zombie night, Terror Time, even the goddamn raft isn't great. I managed the second instance of Zombies yesterday but Blasters T honestly feels unplayable.

New 3DS works great!

Blasters T doesn't really need 60 FPS to be playable but I'll agree that it's really fucking bad frame-wise.
Also you can kind of be Katie in a few sidequests.

What's this?

Dream Blaster would be better if you could just choose what you wanted to make it do. Instead you just have to kinda let it run out of time if it lands on something you didn't want. It should be that tribes determine whether you'll have more a chance to shoot hearts than damage.

>Dad's trophy

It should just be "pick friend mode or foe mode" and give it an RNG chance to activate the "super" mode if you HAVE to have RNG in it somewhere.
needing to have a stall team when recruiting Yokai just to wait for the blaster to refresh because you get foe mode 4 times in a row is horrible.

More like Yea Forums is so lame that you have to start a thread with bait to get replies.

Honestly I feel like they just tried to balance out befriending in this game with the Forbidden Fruits. It can take some time farming them, especially when you aren't get Clu-T-Facts, but it's still worth it in the end. Still, you'll ultimately need dozens of them. Even with having a Popularity Yokai with the Superstar Soul, feeding them the best version of their favorite food, and maxing out hearts, I'll still end up not getting Yokai. At that point it needs to be a guaranteed chance.

Attached: 1523100625602.jpg (818x453, 108K)

Popularity and Superstar Soul don't stack iirc, but I've been feeding the superheroes the best version of their favorite food, using the befriending aura and a popularity yokai, maxing them with the blaster and sometimes even getting heart wisps and after a week of doing that daily to all of them I've still only recruited one. The rate practically demands you use fruit on anything remotely rare to fight like the Merican Legends.

I love these games but imo a big part of the reason they've never really caught on over here is the ridiculous obtuseness of the 'catching' mechanics. Shit's dumb.

being honest they should implement something like the dexnav in oras the more you figth certain enemies more probability to get it

I dropped blasters because of the retarded RNG

That's party of the "mystery" of Yo-kai.

I'm not even obsessive-compulsive though, it just gets mechanically obnoxious after long enough.

And if they're supposed to feel 'mysterious' the devs could probably do a better job making that the case instead of a really basic rng.

Fairly certain that Popularity/Superstar have always stacked, don't know where you heard that, but there's no real good way of actually testing this sadly. I'm Sushi/Justice, and I can use Forbidden Fruits on everyone except D-Stroy, which doesn't really make any sense. I guess he befriends you after the battle like the Onis in 2.

I'm not surprised. In Pokemon it's as simple as just throwing a ball and you'll know no matter what if you catch it that's the end of that. I can definitely see people getting turned off by it, and honestly I would not be upset if they downsized the amount of food items or made it much more simple in 4. I understand that you aren't catching them but earning their trust and befriending them, but still. It can be very frustrating for kids that they don't understand why they can't just get a cool looking Yokai.

If you keep donating to the shrine at Mt Wildwood then you'll sometimes get it where it'll say that you'll make more friends, so there's that, but yeah.

but they don't stack, it even says in the game that superstar souls and popularity don't stack through kainet

Keep throwing money in there to fight Greesel who's an auto befriend.

It would definitely put western fans worries at ease. Even if it was delayed by a month it'd still be acceptable, rather than having to wait fucking 3 years like we had to with 3, which in that time WibWob died and I guess they just said fuck it, don't make a new mobile game for people like us.

Yeah it's not entirely reassuring. There's clearly a game there, but hearing about shit like a bunch of employees leaving Level 5 plus the delays is a bit concerning.

Yes, but I doubt they'd be able to pull it off.

The localization seems _okay_ most of the time.

My only annoyance is when words are shortened with a period.

There are a TON of minor misspellings and oversights in the english script, nothing dealbreaking but they really needed to have someone go over everything one last time.

It's definitely really weird. I had my suspicions early on that you'd be able to travel from one continent to the other as a single character, but the game kept implying it over and over again and sure enough it finally happened.
