Oh man, the feels. The ending of FFX still gets the ole heartstrings. The scene where Yuna rushes to grab or embrace Tidus and just falls straight through him is just heartbreaking.

Any early advice for me, besides just "use a guide"? Look over a guide on where to get dress spheres and make sure you don't miss any, or you might have to start again with like 15 hours put into a save  And beat the first tournament of Shinra's new monster arena thing as soon as you're able, the reward is awesome.

Kyrosiris posted:There are at least a couple (maybe closer to a handful) of bosses that, if the RNG just doesn't like you today, can just TPK you at a whim without recourse. It's insane. Hrm, bosses seem a touch easy now thanks to changes in the stat growths for classes. I know, we'll just let bosses attack twice in a row rather than doing a drat thing to balance it. What do you mean it can double cast its incredibly damaging AoE and instantly wipe the party? Get good, scrub.

Is there any preferred way to grind up to arena bosses in FFX? Just puts around the Omega Ruins? There's all sorts of end-game AP guides, but I'm not advanced enough to do them yet. Have 4 Celestial Weapons, will get Wakka's sooner or later as I have all the reels, but not sure Ill get Lulu's and Tidus'.

I'd say get Anima, progress through omega ruins, try to kill Ultima weapon or bribe him, Omega ruins gives crazy ap. I'd say start there, Go capture monsters, spend some time doing that, start with the harder area's first, so you get nice AP while capping monsters.

The idea that anyone would be obsessive over a linear JRPG is sort of crazy to me. I can't even fathom doing anything in a game like Final Fantasy other than playing it straight through to the end and putting it aside, maybe going after a few sidebosses if I was so inclined. To each his own, I guess. I mean FFX is awesome and all but I barely even have the patience to get the celestial weapons, let alone fight Penance. Too many other good games out there to be playing at this point in time. Captain Mog fucked around with this message at 19:08 on May 9, 2014 |

Maybe with FF3 on PC someone will mod it to be not horrible. Hell, just hacking in "Save Everywhere" will make it that much less tedious.

VIII through X, a lot less so, and IV and VI as much as I love the stories don't have that level of customization.

Orgia Carnaval posted:Not an empty quote. That's pretty cool. I think the character I want to be added most is Delita, if they bother to do anything more with Tactics. Agrias is the better choice if you're only doing two, but come on, it's Delita. He's got to be in there somewhere.

Not going to lie, I straight up cheated to get that stuff on the DS. There's AR codes floating around to make the game think you have enough Wi-Fi mail to access that stuff.

The impression I got from the audio drama was that 10-3 is going to have the same basic plot as 13-2. The previous game only worked out like it did because of some impossible event, and now the natural laws have been broken everything's getting all hosed up.

Don't bother leaving the save sphere; just get mad cash. Use this to fund four slot equipment and bribes; first bribe Ghosts to customize Auto-Phoenix and eventually Macheas to customize Auto-Haste. Once you have Auto-Phoenix, Comrade/Stoic Overdrive modes, and weapons with Overdrive -> AP (customizable with Door to Tomorrow after unlocking 6 monster arena area bosses), you can start getting free AP by killing yourself repeatedly on Don Tonberry (or Cactuar King if you haven't killed enough mobs yet). Use the AP to activate all the Strength and Agility nodes you can. Then start killing Juggernaut (cheese him with Nul-Blaze) for Strengh Spheres and Fenrir for Agility Spheres.

Did any of the original Theatrhythm bosses have multiple forms? I'd love to see Delacroix transform into Cuchulainn after enough damage or time elapsed, or Wiegraf into Belias. Better yet stack them back-to-back and blend Trisection/Antipyretic into Ultima.

You can capture monsters in Ch. 1 that will plow through the regular game Chocobo - auto-haste, fast atk animation Tonberry - great stats, all ailment defense Goon - elixir, fast atk animation Flak Python - full auto, all ailment defense Any element - 1 MP cost, Ribbon Any of those 3 will be enough to 100% the game if you raise them right. At endgame, every creature can have max stats and learn almost every ability so atk/movement animation speed and unique abilities like flak python's full auto or mushroom cloud's pernicious powder will be the differentiators KDdidit posted:Is there any preferred way to grind up to arena bosses in FFX?

Step 1: savescum for a no encounters weapon from geosageneo Step 2: get enough gil to bribe ultima weapon use this Step 3: Run straight through omega ruins and steal doors to tomorrow from ultima, then bribe him (only because you're probably not strong enough to kill him) Stealing from ulitma lets you customize overdrive -> AP which is basically all you need to complete the boy grids and get powerful enough to grind one-eye for triple AP weapons and start don tonberry levelling.

A fast-paced piece like Unavoidable Battle, Tension 1, or Apoplexy would be so perfect for a more intense, difficult track. Clash on the Big Bridge fits that role pretty well, but there needs to be even more.
