What bothers me with Synergy skills, is that some of them go from being near useless like Disrupt that never worked for me, Earth Lance, boring but practical like Fire/Pure Stab, oh hey this thing is rad, Holy Shieldwall. Some of those skills also suffer from not only being bad, but also having the bad kind of characters needed. Three examples.

-Having squishy mages, Robin and Altina in the same team, for a measly Earth Lance is not a reasuring thing at all, and this apply to others characters, Qum and Yarra too. It's just not 'reassuring' and got me killed fast. (To be fair, I did not used Earth Lance that much, it took me too long to max Altina.) ​​​​​​-The Fire/Pure/Sexual/Healing Stab Skills are basic. Having Aka and Robin/Vhala/Yara/Uyae is not terrible at all. Especially Uyae since she can punch or heal things really hard and have a synergy that boost both all her stats, and they have they have both Synergy skills. It make Simon/Aka/Uyae/Hilstara not a bad a team. And Aka have Disabling Blow and Forceful Lunge. And Deathlow for random encounters if you feel lucky. Also, I feel smart when I use those correctly. I guess those are the tuto synergies for dummies. -Holy Shieldwall, which is basically the best thing since bread and butter. It protect the tank of the game from her only weakness. Combine that with Carina's healings and Shield of Purity that boost the DEF and MDEF for the whole party, and you are pretty safe. Not foolproof, but safe. -Another for the lulz, Varia's Earth Bomb, Commanding Presence + Earth Bomb + X Storm + Something All like Cleavage = funny. Obviously, you don't really want to use it much, and only against a big group of ennemies, because of the mp and all., but it's very funny and effective. And for the one that survive, you just have to pluck them.

Obviously, I'm not game designer, let alone the one of TLS, which is a good thing. Maybe I just use those badly. I kind of expect Aka to have a Unified Strike or something in the future, beside her Disabling Blow, but in insight... eeeeh.

As for synergy skills, perhaps Simon will get some when he's no longer a required party member. This game may be like Chrono Trigger, with that happening way later than it could. Simon is Jesus confirmed ? Who want to do a joke referencing Game Theorist's episode about Chrono Trigger ? I want to, but I don't want to offend anyone with an accidental blasphemy. That's interesting actually, I feel Simon that Simon is messianic at times. I noticed that the game opened more and more, so if the game pull a Chrono Trigger or FF6, aka, okay, shit just got real, the world is wide open for you to explore and do stuff. I wouldn't be surprised, I can only wait to see how cool it will be.

Man, doing all those sidequests was so fulfilling.
