strength has not been rare for my esper so far but def def has been. according to apocryphal gamefaqs information str is more likely to go up if you swing weapons and def if you get hit, and i do swing with weapons sometimes on my esper for real trashy fights where i dont wanna use something better.

In FFLII there's a really clear connection between what you use and what stats you gain, in this one it's seeming pretty iffy. The DEF in espers is basically just a free bonus given humans can't raise innate DEF at all. Or use the cheap magic books that are better than any expensive weapon in the game and will wipe an enemy group in one hit all the way to the last dungeon

I've played through FFL many times and mutants have always seemed completely random to me.

the weird leveling and weapon durability are the only significant SaGa things in FFL. Otherwise it's just a simple 8 bit JRPG.

feels like the humans are the weakest althgouh maybe once theyre 99d on agi and str with the last tier of weapons ill feel different. my mutant/esper has two group wide instant deaths + damage resist and also gets to wear a full armor set + auto levels agi/str for the same weapons as the humans, and the monster since world 2 has just been one tapping everything and at this point has 666 hp, 75 def, and resists all damage types

   : Get a human character to 99 strength and agility : Get a mutant character to 99 mana (PLATINUM) : Beat the gameFwiw I didn't get anyone to 99 mana til like right before the 2nd to last boss, but also didn't grind anywhere to purposely level it. Fun little game. Having no stats to check and keeping my fighter using a lightsaber and gun for most the game because it was cool was great lol. Shout out to both espers getting stone gaze and death gaze fairly early, I never let them switch away.

Monsters with stone/death are good but everything else is worthless. Esper with good magic has been the best, mine almost always attacks first too

: Enter the tower for the first time  I'm kind of enjoying how incredibly simple the goals and maps are in this game so far. And I feel like I only barely understand the monster system but I've been surviving fine so far by just having mine eat everything lol. also lmao at the piranha sprite:

It's a very weird design wherin humans will stay broadly mid-tier throughout the game and need a lot of financial investment whereas espers will start weak and then become unstoppable monsters once you've bought the spellbooks for 500. The only bad thing about espers is the one late game boss with spell resistance

it's a very unorthodox system (humans have to buy all their stats, espers/mutants are slaves to the rng, monsters change entirely every four or so battles, the entire lives system thing) that i didn't quite understand until halfway through the first world. to be fair, i basically went in completely blind without so much as looking at a manual, so that one's on me.

Humans are the best class in the GB version by a huge margin thanks to bugs. It seems that Mutant skills don't double up on WSC. Big improvement over GB where you'd spend all of Continent running around with 3 copies of Telepathy and a Flame weakness.

Cuts both ways though, don't get to double up on Armor or one of the good damage skills.

got stuck in what I think is world 2? the first new overworld map that you get to after entering the tower. i have similar dumb brain like this:symbolic posted:havent had a chance to start FFL yet, if i'm a neanderthal who just likes attacking over and over & not overthinking systems how rough of a time am i in for it's not bad though. main thing is that it's way different than a Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest game where you just keep making numbers go up with fancier gear and traditional exp/leveling. it's an interesting system and i'm curious to go back to FFL2/3 and to try the SNES SaGa games now. : Enter the tower for the first time

I love how you get to heaven immediately after the first section of the game, and you're supposed to just get bored and leave.
