FrickenMoron posted:Please look up 5 posts, thanks. I think we should put this in the OP or something? I was specifically talking about workarounds to get more villagers BESIDES the 3 you get daily from updating. I just assumed if there was something as convoluted but effective as that method that got him 300+ villagers, surely there's something simpler that can just net me another 10 or so.

300 is overkill. You can finish the village in around a week by updating data.

The 3-5 you get per day are more than enough unless you play the game 12 hours a day. The stuff you unlock in Norende besides special moves can be horribly overpowered early on.

Why am I still Blind constantly with Silver Glasses equipped? Makes me wonder how the game defines immunity. Really sorry if this is a repeat question, I'm generally trying to avoid the thread for now. Every other post after the demo released was about how to break it in half.

Kanpachi posted:Boss strategy spoilers! I had a lot of trouble with this guy myself, and there's probably something more optimal/broken but here goes. I fought this guy a bit ago and one shot the head with Moonbeam because I still had water attached to his move, and spent the prior turns invigorating 2x for 150% attack. The move itself also crit I think, but either way it did 5700ish damage and that was the end of that. The remaining part was cleaned up with a quad stack of spells and Maximum draw + 3 attacks on the following round. I need to stop buffing up the shops because the gear there is getting insanely strong, so I think I'll just focus on the special move locations or maybe the accessories shop which is still level 1. I just did the Time Mage and Spell Fencer boss fight and Ringabell was able to keep everyone healed just using a Blessed Shield. I haven't even bought Cura yet.

Is anyone playing the game on hard - is it that much of a jump in difficulty from Normal? While the first dungeon (orcs) had some enemies that were a bit tough, the second dungeon was a joke. So far loving it, but I don't want the game to be too easy.

So can someone tell me if it's worth investing in a Salve-Maker this class seems so bizarre that I'm giving it a shot but I'm SUPER overwhelmed by his combining ability. Am I supposed to just mash random stuff together?

The item mixing is just a bonus (protip: potion+phoenix down).

Just started chapter 6. Are the sub boss fights even harder this time (i.e. more HP)? I cleared them all in chapter 5 and felt like they all added to the plot a little. Doing them all again feels a bit choresome though. Kin fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Feb 9, 2014 |

Kin posted:Just started chapter 6. Are the sub boss fights even harder this time (i.e. more HP)? Probably want to spoilertag this! To answer your question though, the fights are mostly the same, though some have more backstory (Barras and Holly  ), some are just the same, but you do get the final job halfway through. Next chapter gets REALLY good with the optional fights though. Girl power!

Ugh, now I Know why people are a little upset about the game when you reach Chapter 5, that's a bit of a kick in the nuts. Question though; Do I want to do the job unlock bosses over again or can I skip those? There was only one job I didn't get before, and I still have 3 to unlock.

So is there any negative effect to having a class wear armor it doesn't have a high rank in? My White mage is in all gear she can use well, but I gave her a shield which has an E next to it which I assume means she isn't skilled with it. But when equipping it there didn't seem to be any negative effects.

But when equipping it there didn't seem to be any negative effects. A class with a low ranking in armour won't get as much defence from heavy armour as someone with a high rank would. They're generally better off using the unranked armour, which functions as rank A for everybody regardless of class, meaning they get 1.8x the listed defence. Shields are kind of a special case though, as the ranking only affects defence, not the amount of evasion you get. Plus there aren't any unranked shields as far as I've seen, so there's no better option if you want your casters to be sturdier.

Waterfall of Salt posted:The ranks only affect the stat increases you get with that piece of armor. That's it. Also, unranked armor (like robes) counts as automatic A rank for all classes. Evil Fluffy posted:How powerful is Salve-Maker on a scale of 1 to FF5 Chemist? About FF5 Chemist so long as the compounds are well stocked. Stumbled upon a combination that heals you AND gives you the Double Maximum HP buff, as well as the Dark Breath attack that Qada uses and it's opposite. Pro-tip: one of the compounds combined with Healing Lore is basically an Elixir for relatively little money late in the game.

I set up a HomePass by turning my wireless card into a virtual router. I then went ahead and downloaded MacCycler. Now, do I need to run the virtual router software before starting MacCycler, or does it conflict with MacCycler? Also, is it better to use random or sequential with MacCycler?

GRINK HELCH posted:Thanks. Yea I'm just looking for added challenge, not really in the mood for bs. Thanks. I've done like 80% of the game on hard, and it's just difficult compared to most JRPG's until chapter 5 and 6, which are a step back compared to what kind of curve you're used to. The curve goes up again after that. The spoilered example in your quote isn't so much bullshit as much as something you need to tactic around, which is something you come across sparsely later on. Hard is for people who want a lot of challenge and appreciate having to work things out. If you want some challenge but not loads, consider gimping yourself on Normal mode.

I'm sort of annoyed with this game now. Minor Chapter 5 spoilers I waited until Chapter 5 before I started to do the Vampire sidequest because I was struggling a bit with the regular stuff and didn't feel up to taking on a superboss with even more HP right away. Now I'm apparently locked out of a ton of good Genome abilities unless I do an optional dungeon that I can't access for several more chapters. Ughhhhhh. Incidently I love how customizable this game is and how it supports a variety of playstyles. Right now I'm running with Tiz as Dark Knight/Sword Magic, Agnes as Black Mage/Medication, Ringabel as Templar/White Mage and Edea as Ninja/Piracy. I'm thinking of switching Edea to get the Medication secondary, putting Piracy on Tiz and making Agnes an Arcanist/Black Magic, mostly to get the hilariously broken medication on someone who actually goes before bosses. But I really wanna keep my debuffs, and I'd hate to lose the hilarity that is a Ninja with Multitask. Argggh. I also want to work Vampire in here somewhere, but I have no idea where.

There are some sidequests that are missable but you're told when you reach the point of no return. You can't lock yourself out of getting any jobs though. You may want to unlock the Vampire class before the first point of no return as, otherwise, you won't be able get some of its abilities until the final chapter. If you save after completing an ending you'll be placed back in a position when you can try for any other ending. There's also a New Game+ if you complete the true ending.

Pretty much exactly this. It's pretty obvious when these "iterations" end and begin as well. Don't sweat it too much.

Thanks guys! I'm glad the game is pretty reasonable in that regard. Where are you all grinding? There is a small island in the upper right hand of the map that i've been using, it gives a lot of money and exp, but Job experience not so much, but that's probably true of any part of the game.

So I have Edea as a knight and she does absolutely fuckall damage. I have Ringabel as a thief and he's doing 600+ damage per round with a bow while Edea is doing like 70. Everytime I optimize her it gives her her default starting sword. What gives?

I'd give her a sword she has an S rank in (if I recall, she only has a D with her starting sword.)
