Final Fantasy Video Game • Page 71

If you get your Quickenings early you can beat most of the early bosses that way. The first Demon Wall is tougher than the second due to the shorter time limit but even he will fall with good Quickening chains.

 

Get outta here, you hate 7

 

I have had 2 since Final Fantasy Origins came out but never bothered to play it. I need to get to that, III, and Mystic Quest soon.

 

7 is good, it's just fun to make fun of because some people get so up in arms over any kind of criticism of 7

I think it's mediocre as far as FF itself goes but as far as games in general go I think it's good

 

VII has not aged well, but dammit if I don't have a soft spot for it

 

Man, Cid is so damn great in this game. lol

 

I'm already on the last dungeon. Doing all of the pre/post stuff now. Its crazy that I've basically gotten through the entire game without really using spells. I've gone 100% physical on anything that wasn't immune to it.

Still have quite a bit to do. Dreading going after Omega and Yiazmat.

 

for FFXII? how many hours has it taken?

 

I'm playing it with the speed at 4x and I'm sitting at about 45 hours. I've done every side quest I could up to this point.

I don't think I'll try taking on the mega bosses until I grind out to around level 80. Still a ways to go from that. bleh.

 

Signing up for the closed beta was so fucking obnoxious. Thanks SE.

In less aggravating news, got out of the desert dungeon in XII. Forgot how much I loved Balthier and Fran.

 

Just about finished with most things. On the final set of marks right now, before Omega and Yiazmat. Most of my characters are sitting around level 75. I've maxed out Vaan and Penelo as they are my white and black mages. Going through the lower floors of Pharos sucks once you start hitting magic pots and zombies with reflect. Bleh. Might have to do these floors on normal speed.

 

I tried to sign up for the beta but every time I tried to log in it said "too many failed attempts. Try again later" ???

In other news, Chrono Trigger is fun

 

Logging into their website has been a nightmare for me every single time.

 

Took a stab at Yiazmat (underequipped) and got wrecked pretty quick. Some of these guides make it seem so much easier than it is. lol

3 ribbons
spam wither/expose

Way easier than I remember. I thought I was going to lose when I ran out of Phoenix Downs with four bars left. Thankfully, I was able to sac Balthier to bring back Vaan.

Tomorrow, I'm going to finish off the game with a victory in the trials.

 

Pretty sure I've butchered all of the license board choices for my FF12 characters

 

what did you go with for everyone

 

Vaan - Bushi
Penelo - Red Battlemage
Fran - Archer
Balthier - Machinist
Basch - Knight
Ashe - White Mage

I didn't look anything up for what should be done for it, just kinda assigned at random for Vaan/Penelo, gave Ashe white mage cuz I needed it, and gave the other 3 the same as their default weapon

 

Walkthroughs kept telling me Fran is a terrible Archer. Think I made her a red battlemage and Balthier my healer.

 

That looks very okay to me

 

She probably is haha I was using her as a pseudo-healer and part-time archer till I got Ashe

I'm glad I didn't completely ruin it! I'm pretty clueless on optimal build but didn't wanna just make the game boring by picking the best options throughout, I felt like it kinda ruined the awesome flexibility FF12 has so far

 

Reminds me I need to go back and continue my playthrough. I have too many games to play, whoops.

 

I did way too much reading on picking the right ones before I did and the common theme I saw is that no matter what you will end up being perfectly fine to beat the game. I
