New Game: Fernz Gate!

Post by **MSG Commander** » Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:13 pm

I've grinded up to level 716 (on Easy difficulty), and I've completed everything except for the final boss in the lv. 900 region, and the gazillion challenge (but I never do the gazillion challenge anyway).

My only complaint about the game is that it ends.

It's a great game, and a great story. Most Exe Create games have a certain level of "cheesiness" somewhere, either in the plot, the dialogue, etc. This one doesn't have that, so that makes it a little bit better than the rest, IMO.

Yeah, I realized that the "refreshing" feeling I'm having from my previous post was the lack of cheesiness. Exe-create doeshave it in them to stay away from cheesiness and look what it does! Great flow in the dialouge and engaging story!

Its perfect so far just a couple of hours in except the difficulty, I hate that you regain your hp and mp after every battle because I love micromanaging hp and mp along with restoration items an it makes the game ridiculously easy, have to play hard just to have a bit of challenge.

Anyway, MSG, how long does it take to finish the story along with all the subquests? I hope it taps 20hrs. And how big is the post game?

Normal End + Subquests took me almost 17 hours (but I wandered around a lot)
True End took an additional 2 hours (more wandering)
I'm currently 27 hours in and I'm just grinding to 999 so I can hopefully beat the boss in the lv. 900 region.. but grinding is slow (or I haven't found the right way to do it) so maybe another 1-2 hours?

The game will fly by, but all in all, it *feels* like about the right length for this game.

UPDATE

Done everything under the sun (except the gazillion challenge... I hate the gazillion challenge)

I grinded all the way to lv. 999 and went back to the 900 region - and after what felt like 30 minutes fighting the boss there, got killed and had to use my Phoenix Heart to revive everyone just to get in one more hit. (Oh, by the way, this was on Easy difficulty.) It was definitely a thrilling battle, but not one I'll be repeating... though I did warn the monsters there that if they weren't careful, I'd send 1oldtymer in next...

Anyway, I'm very satisfied now. Also just posted my screenshots in Game Length

16hrs for the main and 8-9 hrs on the post game, I guess that isn't bad. I expect mine to be a little longer since I also do wander around town talking with npcs and playing the game in Hard mode (I already got screwed by some red mobs lmao).

The gazillion challenge is really easy this time. You get one hit to do as much damage as you can (one hit being a main character + buddy). I was just messing around and used Toril's 'End of Destruction' + Maidame's Head's 'Final Judgment.' I think Toril might have had a Hitman Ring equipped. They hit for enough damage to get the gems; so, I did it enough times to collect all the gems...took maybe 2 minutes to rack up 50 gems. Worth it!

The expert difficulty are suicide if you play at beggining but as you got skill that delay and par sleep and gnome it will make you easier to kill your enemy and don't forget the accelerate equipment, also at beggining it better try hard to farm exp better...

Just make full use of stats aliment and for few game that union its better avoid it if you can't kill them within 2 or 3 team....

Hi! How do I get the 2 Thick Pelts from the Lizardmen (subquest)? Sorry can't figure it out

I finished 3 of them but didn't get anything from them. Do they just drop the item or I have to steal it from them?

Thank you!

If I remember correctly, they just drop - it just takes a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Exe Create is notorious for this type of quest, if you ever play Alphadia or Alphadia 2, they both have one quest that literally takes like 2 hours, just waiting for the enemy to drop the quest item...

Hi, Natalya! Welcome.

You're totally right. The pelts are drop items. You'll need to kill several of the Lizardmen though. As you've discovered, the drop rate is kinda low. Happy hunting!
