In the end, which class was considered to be strong? The reliable warrior?

343 : Anonymous Adventurer

For beginners, warrior was definitely the safest choice. It has no real disadvantages and the interval between its attack skill was short too, so it was easy to use. It’s also the most resilient.

344 : Anonymous Adventurer

Wouldn’t thief also be good for beginners? It’s inherently fleet-footed and you could run around while just shooting with a bow, making it a fairly easy class.

345 : Anonymous Adventurer

In exchange, they’re weak to getting hit though. When I received just one smack from a goblin, it took away a whole 30% and I got real spooked by that.

346 : Anonymous Adventurer

That, wasn’t that from the sand goblins in the plains? Those guys were pretty strong so beginners should just stick to hunting the goblins in the forest.

346 : Anonymous Adventurer

There’s a beansprout called a magician that’s even weaker against hits than the thief

347 : Anonymous Adventurer

That’s because magicians specialized in brain work…… (Trembles)1

347 : Anonymous Adventurer

Magicians have the strongest firepower, so cut it out!!

348 : Anonymous Adventurer

If we’re talking firepower, then the barbarians had plenty……

349 : Anonymous Adventurer

Rather, could a barbarian really be considered a profession in the first place? It ended up becoming an actual class though lol.

350 : Anonymous Adventurer

Why not! Barbarians are fun you know! You get to wander the plains hunting monsters with an axe, then you take their materials back and sell them. You can play as a hunter!

351 : Anonymous Adventurer

That’s something that every player in the game does lol

352 : Anonymous Adventurer

A magician huh, I wanted to be one, but I was at a loss during the tutorial so I remade my character…… Wasn’t Sailor-kun way too strong?

353 : Anonymous Adventurer

In fact, there’s a theory going around that Sailor-kun is actually the strongest beginner killer in FFO.

354 : Anonymous Adventurer

Exactly that. The guy’s moves and attacks made it seem like he was ruffian that was accustomed to brawling. If you were timid, he’d easily beat you up and it’d be over. He’d tell you to dodge, but that was just impossible. Can’t react in time.

355 : Anonymous Adventurer

Wasn’t a strategy guide posted for that guy? You had to spec your build into firepower and rain your skills down on him in accordance with the tutorial. It tells you to evade, but you can just ignore it and continue beating on him. If you’re a thief, you could run around until the sailor gives up. I questioned if that was really okay since it only agitates him, but it just normally proceeds you along. Then, you launch one more skill and it’s finished.

356 : Anonymous Adventurer

I’m afraid of getting hit……

357 : Anonymous Adventurer

Do your best, if you don’t get over it, VR games will be rough.

358 : Anonymous Adventurer

There’s definitely certain people who wouldn’t want to play a VR game that’s too real and its usually because of that reason lol. If you got attacked by a monster or a large man, even if it didn’t hurt, it would still normally become trauma.

359 : Anonymous Adventurer

Well, even without all that, being a magician was harsh. It didn’t have the speed to escape like the thief and was weak against attacks from every other class. It’s all about the romance of the class. It had some intense firepower so if you manage to master it, your strength would stand out above the rest.

360 : Anonymous Adventurer

You mean Tia-san right? That person sure is amazing.

361 : Anonymous Adventurer

Tia-san? Who’s that?

362 : Anonymous Adventurer

You don’t know? She’s the strongest magician in the game and streams footage of boss subjugations.

363 : Anonymous Adventurer

She’s a big breasted tsundere onee-san. If you call her cute, she immediately gets bashful and tells you, “If you say any more than that, I’ll burn you over 100 times.” with a rosy red face. Super cute. I wanna get burnt.

364 : Anonymous Adventurer

Duel her if you really want to get burnt. There was a guy that got beaten up real bad to the point where everyone watching was looking at him with pity. The actual person looked happy though.

365 : Anonymous Adventurer

Seriously? I’ll try challenging her if we cross paths.

366 : Anonymous Adventurer

>>365 I’ll be waiting for the video.

367 : Anonymous Adventurer

So, the weaknesses of the magician were its lack of speed and the fact that it was vulnerable against attacks after all? Can’t something be done through stat allocation?

368 : Anonymous Adventurer

Unlike with bows, you can’t alleviate the troubles. It gets extremely bad if you raised any status other than INT and MP. You’d end up dead if you allocated into AGI since there’d be a shortage in firepower. It’s ok to just be a thief.

369 : Anonymous Adventurer

To begin with, if magicians specced into anything other than firepower, they wouldn’t be able to break through the tutorial. The game would be too impossible.

370 : Anonymous Adventurer

In the worst case scenario, the tutorial could be skipped so, well maybe if its a sub account.

371 : Anonymous Adventurer

But if you don’t clear the tutorial, you’d be thrown out without any money and then you’ll have no choice but to fight the monsters with just the initial equipment lol. You’d die lol.

372 : Anonymous Adventurer

That’s why you’d want a sub. You gather funds and equipment on your main, entrust it to a friend, then transfer it to your sub account.

373 : Anonymous Adventurer

Aah, I seeee.

374 : Anonymous Adventurer

Then, you can’t make a battlemage or anything? I see them sometimes in other games.

375 : Anonymous Adventurer

No way, impossible. It’s already mentioned above but in this game, the presence of attack skills were incredibly important. Initially, the magician had no skills that interacted with the ATK stat so you’d just get stuck since you wouldn’t be able to do anything

376 : Anonymous Adventurer

Was directly attacking with the staff no good then?

377 : Anonymous Adventurer

It’s not like you can’t, but would you be able to knock out a genuine thug with just a single stick?

378 : Anonymous Adventurer

Impossible. Sorry, I can’t.

379 : Anonymous Adventurer

This game’s basic attacks were pretty severe after all…… You had to properly put your back into every swing, otherwise you’d do no damage. So if you’re a beansprout in real life, becoming a battlemage was impossible.

380 : Anonymous Adventurer

Even if it could be done, it’ll just mean your class was the worst at everything. Paper-thin armor, slow speed, and then you’d just add range as another weakness. In the end, no matter how hard you swung, your firepower wouldn’t improve in the slightest. It’d be a joke build without the romance aspect.

381 : Anonymous Adventurer

Isn’t there anyone brave enough to step up and try out the battlemage.

382 : Anonymous Adventurer

There’s a rule where the first person to suggest something has to do it.

383 : Anonymous Adventurer

My bad, I’m a priest…… The type of person who feels satisfied quietly devoting himself to the role of a support behind everyone……

384 : Anonymous Adventurer

I know a masochist acquaintance who’s tentatively taking on the battlemage challenge. It seemed like he passed the tutorial too.

385 : Anonymous Adventurer

Really!? lol

386 : Anonymous Adventurer

That’s awesome, so how’d it turn out?

387 : Anonymous Adventurer

No matter how many levels he gained, he couldn’t acquire an offensive skill. He can’t defeat bosses or tough monsters like the golems, so it seems like he’s stuck lol

388 : Anonymous Adventurer

lololol

389 : Anonymous Adventurer

Can’t be helped, it’s a joke build after all.

390 : Anonymous Adventurer

I can see why bosses were no good, but golems too? lol. Damage won’t go through even if you hit the core?

391 : Anonymous Adventurer

The range of the staff was too short to reach lol. The other classes could topple it over by hammering its feet with attack skills, but battlemage had no such skill. So no matter how much ATK you had, there’d still be a lack of firepower lol.

392 : Anonymous Adventurer

Ah…… lol

393 : Anonymous Adventurer

Looks like it’s no good if you didn’t have attack skills as expected.

394 : Anonymous Adventurer

That’s because every class will be taken care of by the attack skills you can use at the beginning of the game all the way till the end of it. 2 seconds CT among the initial skills was unthinkable.

395 : Anonymous Adventurer

Because of that, he’s now switched classes into a respectable warrior and is barely scraping on by.

396 : Anonymous Adventurer

Overcome your setbacks and become stronger.

397 : Anonymous Adventurer

But, just now, I happened to see a girl who looked something like a battlemage in the plains……

398 : Anonymous Adventurer

Eh, seriously? Details.

399 : Anonymous Adventurer

She was kind of waving her staff around while being encircled by a bunch of sand goblins. It was a silver haired loli that was super cute……

400 : Anonymous Adventurer

That, if a magician was surrounded by goblins, wasn’t it over for them?

401 : Anonymous Adventurer

A little girl that’s about to be done in by surrounding goblins…… (Gulp)

402 : Anonymous Adventurer

>>401 Reported.

403 : Anonymous Adventurer

To not rescue a little girl whos in peril, you’re a disgrace to us gentlemen. >>399, Deserving of death!!

404 : Anonymous Adventurer

No, she defeated every one of them properly lol. Moreover, she seemed like she was having a lot of fun since she raised her staff up and everything, wouldn’t it be worse to interrupt in this case? lol.

405 : Anonymous Adventurer

What the heck. Cute.

406 : Anonymous Adventurer

Was that really a magician? Wasn’t that just a warrior cosplaying as a magician? A surrounded magician shouldn’t be able to do much about it…… They couldn’t shake their enemies off, or endure the hits.

407 : Anonymous Adventurer

I didn’t know too much, but she avoided all of their attacks. Made me think she was an esper or something.

408 : Anonymous Adventurer

Hah? Wait just a minute, if she was surrounded, how was she able to evade? Wasn’t AGI deemed as a problem previously? Even if you’re fast or slow, once you were surrounded, you wouldn’t be able to react to all the attacks in the first place lol.

409 : Anonymous Adventurer

As far as I could tell, she moved to a position where she’d be able to see all the enemies, then there were attacks flickering from left to right.

410 : Anonymous Adventurer

Even so, what kind of unearthly reflexes would you need to have to dodge every attack? That’d be insane wouldn’t it? lol. What happened after?

412 : Anonymous Adventurer

I thought she did really well for being in just complete beginner’s equipment. After that, she was walking towards the area where golems often appeared. I missed the chance to strike up a conversation.

413 : Anonymous Adventurer

Ah…… It’s the usual pattern where a beginner ends up dying because they don’t know how far they could go. Unsurprisingly, golems were impossible to take down with just the beginning equipment. No matter how high your player skill was, there’d be a lack of firepower. It’s all about firepower.

414 : Anonymous Adventurer

Once that girl returns, I’ll be there to console her. Then we’ll form a party and take revenge together!

415 : Anonymous Adventurer

Oi, wait right there. Stealing a headstart was unforgivable. That silver-haired loli is mine!!

416 : Anonymous Adventurer

But, it’s probably an old ma- (omitted.2

417 : Anonymous Adventurer

Stop itt! That girl’s a real little girl! Mai Suweeto Angeru Rori ! OK?

418 : Anonymous Adventurer

OK (thud

419 : Anonymous Adventurer

Guhaa (coughs blood

420 : Anonymous Adventurer

Well, it didn’t matter what she was on the inside, I just hope she doesn’t throw her VR gear away from the trauma of getting killed by a golem. Beginners were valuable.

421 : Anonymous Adventurer

You’re right.

2 : It’s the closest translation I could think of. The original net slang is (ry which is a shortened form of 略(ryaku) and that means to omit or abbreviate. It’s used in occasions when you want to leave out part of a sentence for the comedic effect or if you feel like you shouldn’t have to say anymore since others would already understand.
