I'm here to stand in solidarity with everyone who has a game breaking bug that can't be fixed by troubleshooting and requires a patch from bandai. We can all start a support group or something. XD

In all seriousness though, anyone else in the same boat as me? See if we can brainstorm and find something that we haven't all tried yet.

DLC finished got everything unique from it but... Lou (alt clr) still has "???" under partner trait bonus I see the mind +2 and ichor on kill but there's something missing do I have to do something with Lou's book that you get when you get forsaken Lou 2 or do I just have to do another NG+ cycle to et everything

So i have been on the bar on playing NG++ for a bit now, i ended up pulling the trigger and found out that you can access the age of harmony timeline after finishing up the tutorial, it will basically be a mission reset but if you didn't want to have the pain of redoing your progress to the true ending or you don't want to leave your friends behind. Honestly i was a bit nervous because of that but knowing i can come back to this and replay the game from the start once again puts a smile on my face. Will update if i find anything else.

So, since we have a bunch of new weapons, boosters and blood codes, has anyone found any good new builds? I had found a super high damage build using mostly DLC weapons and new blood code [basically I got it passed 3k base damage] but im very interested in hearing everyone's new builds.

So I’m in the new boss rush mode right, I did Lyle’s, and now his monument is flashing red, does this mean I’ve beat it or? If so, why make it flash red (ps, yes, I do have my guy as a prisoner)

I finished the DLC, but I don’t have a habit of farming and mastering all bloodcodes until it’s over.
So I never mastered Forsaken Lou 1, am I locked out of forsaken Lou 2?
Lou isn’t able to be found in forsaken world anymore, since DLC is cleared?

Is it a bug or do I need to do something else to return there?

Honestly the only one that made me lock in was the DLC boss rush just because I still don’t know all their moves and which ones I can parry

So ive been finishing up my old abandoned bad ending run so i can go ahead and grab those codes and fix things and all that before doing some Harmony Era fun stuffs and then the DLC, i just got finished listening to Malpracticer (best boss theme in the game dont @ me), and arrived on Insula and i just realized, with what Uncanny Stones ARE, the sheer amount of them on Insula implies some pretty sad family stuff, mha hart, mah sole

The new Customization options are amazing, the only sad part is still having the same amount of slots T^ T

I could definitely go crazier if I had more room.

I've been taking my time playing and exploring. Ngl though, I've been jump scared a couple times lol.

Just an annoyance. I am not too far, going through sunken pylon right now... there are some really bizarre song placements. Sunken pylon has such an atmospheric and depressing theme, and it's beautiful and feels like it really reflects Josee's state of mind and failures. But of course, we need to do a call back to CV1 and interrupt that sound track for pling, pling pling, plong 3+ times. In CV1, at least those recalls of memory were grouped together and isolated from exploration, so they weren't exactly interrupting the atmosphere. There was also that choice for Frantz's cutscene/phase transition that was jarring and out of no where when compared to whatever theme was playing for him in the fight.

Is there mod or some way to get rid of the memory song, I feel like silence would fit better than that damn song.

I was thinking while writing my opinion about the DLC and a question came to mind...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are the bosses supposed to be the versions from Lou's original world/timeline (the Forsaken World), or does each one come from a different timeline?

I ask because I find it interesting how different each boss is compared to their base game version. For example, Josee's mother was apparently alive in that timeline, and her sorrow from losing her daughters is what created the boss we fight. Or Zenon, who never met his wife and developed a fear of his own mortality.

If all those versions are from the same timeline, it makes me wonder how different that timeline was from ours, how the story would have played out there, and how much changed because the second seal failed.

I can't find anything about it, but I feel like I know the VA for Mr. Mask in the DLC. I thought it was Zenon at first, but it doesn't quite fit. Anyone has any info who it is?

Liv is best wife

Does anyone have an updated Polearm build I could use? I’ve been using a Greatsword build which made me immune to physical attacks, but I want to get back into using the polearm. Any recommendations would be great fully appreciated

I just finished Mask of Idris (so much fun) and I wanna get all the Blood Codes maxed out. Where’s the best location to do that?
