While you’re at it, up your character’s versatility. At the start of the game you can only equip one plugin and adding more is an easy way to power up your character. There are a few key upgrades that you should focus on, however, as not all of them are equally valuable.įor one, we recommend upgrading the number of plugin slots you have. Once you start earning Brain Points, you can begin upgrading your character. As tempting as it is to try and power through the foes, make sure you’re dodging everything and you’ll get through the fight with less frustration. It can be particularly frustrating with flying enemies who electrocute you, temporarily paralyzing you on the ground, and leaving you open to more damage. Ultimately it doesn’t matter how long the fight takes, but you want to avoid taking damage and needing to use your health kits. If you’re having trouble dealing with enemies and staying alive, I have one recommendation: focus on not getting hit. Saving the game restores everyone’s health and keeps you from wasting your health consumables and needing to buy more. There are certainly some times between where you may need to top up a bit, but as a whole you want to visit the save vendor when you can. The main purpose of your health consumables is to help you stay alive during fights. Whether it’s robotic bunny ears, goggles, or weapon upgrades, you’re going to want that data. This lets you save money, but the exchange also contains some exclusive items that you can’t get any other way. Even the rarest of data is only worth around 40 credits which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.Īfter about four hours you’ll unlock the ability to exchange data for items. The game doesn’t explain what this is in the slightest, but it will let you sell it to the vendor for next to nothing. It’s a bit unintuitive since you can’t actually turn in the quest to the person you took it from to begin with.ĭuring your first few hours of the game you’ll find yourself picking up environmental and enemy data.
If one asks you to gather materials and you already have the items, for example, you need to open the Story tab and turn in the quest there. It makes little sense, but after picking up a quest from a random NPC, you don’t need to go back to them after you’ve completed it. At least you can avoid talking to every single NPC in the game though. The game plops down a marker wherever a quest is being offered. Sadly that means you need to check your map frequently. And there’s no special icon or anything which indicates this is the case. The problem is some characters will offer you quests should you take the time to speak with them.
There are a lot of random NPCs in the world and most of them have no meaningful dialogue. If you don’t want to miss out on crucial dialogue or be distracted during combat you might just have to settle for the English voiceovers this time around. Instead they’re over in the left hand corner meaning you’ll need to divert your attention away from the action to know what’s happening. Scarlet Nexus has dialogue during combat and the subtitles aren’t simply at the bottom of your screen to read. If you don’t understand Japanese and find yourself unable to read while fighting enemies, be forewarned. There is Dialogue During CombatĪt the start of the game you choose whether you want Japanese voices with English subtitles or English voices with English subtitles. Hopefully they’ll save you some effort and lots of confusion. From tips and tricks to plain old time savers, we have some advice after our first few hours with the game. It certainly doesn’t help that there’s lots of jargon to learn, but thankfully it shouldn’t take you too long to figure things out. There is a lot to wrap your head around and the game doesn’t always do the best job of explaining things. Like some other JRPGs, Scarlet Nexus can be a bit nebulous at times.
