I got Knight as my first job! Not bad, since I honestly haven't really used knights much in the past.

Also got monk. I loved the monks in Final Fantasy 1 (they are broken as gently caress in that game) so this is okay with me. Playing the SNES version with the old translation patch emulated on my Wii, because I wanted to play it on my TV and I don't want to play the PSX version, don't have a GBA Player/Gamecube, and the GBA emulator on this isn't super great. Also an emulator lets me fast forward during cutscenes (I will not use save states though). And I'm not going to go out of my way to power level, but I'm not going to do a low level run or anything.

Yeah, it's kinda a slog until you get your water job; but after that white mages are p. powerful! I got one as well. An extra rule was you could use a freelance until you got the second job.

For people starting with White Mage, if you can make it to the ship graveyard (just a boss after getting the first crystal), it's a bit easier there. You'll get a flail that will help you deal damage and there are also mostly undead things there that can be hurt by Cure.

Thanks to fast forwarding with an emulator, I got to the water crystal really quickly, and got Time Mage. Not sure how I feel about Black Mage/Time Mage, but Haste/Slow will be very nice at least.

For those of you getting stuck with Thief, don't despair! Granted, you have a slow start, but once you get to the Fire Ship, you can farm Hi-Potions by stealing them from Poltergeists. The rest of us have to wait until the second world to buy 'em.

Breezed through with Monks so far, but now I'm stuck at Garula. That guy counters hard as poo poo. Focus isn't working, either. May have to actually grind for this one.

# ? Jun 16, 2012 13:33 |

My second job is Thief but at least I have hi-potions to look forward to. Garula's not really hard for a four-Knight team if you've kept everyone in the newest gear.

Grinded to L10, got extra damage, and barely beat Garula. Second job is Berserker. Now to hope that's the only one I get.

Just beat Garula. Pray for me. edit: Mystic Knight. Would have liked Red Mage for some healing magic, but I'll take what I can get. edit 2: I have a Mystic Knight with Brawl, and 3 Monks with Barrier. This next section will be awesome.

Twitch posted:Just beat Garula. Pray for me. You should have a fun time with Liquid Flame. A strategy I picked up while fighting him (spoiled in case you want to form a strategy yourself): Counterattacks don't trigger Liquid Flame's form changes. His hand form only does physical attacks. If you have Chakra, the fight becomes a breeze.

I have to admit, the thieves served me pretty well so far. I think the best part was being able to get the Elfin Mantle easily, as well as stealing Mythril Knives from Wyverns to use against Garula. I've had to utilize rows quite a bit to avoid too much grinding (though just stealing has gotten me to a somewhat high level). I had two thieves in the back row against Marissa and three in the back row against Garula. The guys in the back row never did anything but throw potions, so a lot of items flying around. One thing, did other people not get the notice for the Water job? Under the players list I can see it (Blue mage!), but I was wondering if other people had to check like that, or if the message took a while to get.

And now I have Beastmaster, the only class I never used in FFV. Well this will be entertaining at the very least. Except I have no idea how the class really works so I have to do some reading.

Xillah posted:Gilgabot tweeted that I could use a thief but it wasn't sent to me directly. Did you kill a bunch of skeletons and get 3 daggers? That's what I did, and it didn't take that long. Also, you could stick around the beds stealing everything. It gets easier if you get higher level. Edit: Keep your "healers" in the back row throwing whatever potions you can steal. Also, hit her with potions. If things are too tough, when she turns undead put all of your thieves in the back row, since you'll be using potions anyways. Keeping a thief or two... or three in the back row will help until you get other jobs. Raiad fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jun 16, 2012 |

gently caress Byblos. gently caress him so loving much. Stuck tackling him with Monks and Berserkers, since my third class is Bard and thus not available yet. gently caress his Wind Slash, gently caress his Protect spell, and gently caress his Drain counter that outpaces my fists. Guess I'm going to have to grind some more. poo poo. Progress: Rolled Monks for my Wind class. Everything was easy as poo poo up to Garula. Had to level to 10 to have enough power to kill him, and even then only half my party lived. Water Crystal was Berserker. Meh, at least it's out of the way. Go to Karnak, end up having my Monks turtle with Chakra while countering LF's attacks. Counter attacks don't trigger LF's form changes, so he goes down easily. Loot most of Karnak castle, missing Esuna and the other chest up front, escaped with 30 seconds left. Fire Crystal gives me Bard, so I have to wait until I get to that. Go to the library, have a nice, challenging battle with Ifrit and win. Then I get wiped with L5 Doom. Welp. Then I grind to L16, do it again, and get to Byblos, where his insane evasion and Protect causes my damage output to suck rear end. Then he does stuff like cast Discord, which ruins a character's damage output, and Wind Slash, which deals close to half max HP damage to everyone. And then after losing enough HP he starts countering attacks with Drain, often healing more than what's dealt to him. And that's where I'm stuck. Guess I'll grind later and hope my Monks can punch him better with a few more levels. Mega64 fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Jun 16, 2012 |

The exact same thing just happened to me. I'm debating going with 3 Mystic Knights/1 Monk instead of the opposite (I rolled Ranger on the Fire Crystal). I'm sort of annoyed that I missed the main gauche in the castle, but at least I have two Elf Capes already.
