Got a Lv73 Medium Quest with a 5 silver final boss reward right here, a Lv68 Short with 5 and a Lv70 Short with 4.

Personally I need 6 yellow and 6 red shards and then I'll have everyone unlocked

I'll be home in a couple hours - I've probably got something that covers most of those

Crazy Chocobo is good DLC, but it's super hard on Ultimate.

Honestly I'd just stay with the base game for a while if you just got it. I've been playing for around 13 hours and have only cleared around 1/3 of the beat maps in the game. There's over 220 songs, with 3 difficulties each, so that makes for at least 660 beat maps to clear.

I have a 7 red quest and a 7 yellow quest - the latter I got from a versus match with elf help book, so you might just get it directly. Want the first?

I went to bed after my previous post due to time zones so no worries heh

I could take both of those. Send me a PM with Skype infos or something so we can try to find some time when we're both actually around.

Is it possible to send the same person more than one Chaos map? I guess so, if you play again after they nab your old one.

DLC can appear in any quest you get after buying the DLC (not quests you had before but haven't started yet, or quests you were halfway through, as far as I can tell). No idea what happens when you give the quest to someone without the DLC.

Alright yeah for anyone wondering we can confirm that proficards indeed update with new maps if you change maps and play again so you can get any number of maps you want from the same person.

So thanks to the maps I got from fronz I can now get all the shards I need to unlock everyone.

(watch the map I unlock by clearing the quest I had in progress while I got them have bounties of the red and yellow shards that I needed)

cool trick: start a quest and start the first song and just fail it on purpose.

also if you just want the reward from a midboss, you can beat it and then game over on the next song and itll give you that prize

you might be able to just open the map, hit b to leave the map and abandon quest, i think that forces a game over

everything is a good team, except possibly on level 90+ quests there's not a chance you'll need to minmax stats or team setup

Scare is a great skill to make sure you get the boss in time to kill it. Use some limit breaks as well obviously.

Rikku seems pretty good for FMS maps

Anyone who learns Focus+added cut+limit break you can pretty much use that, I have cloud and Auron and Payne doing that if I'm using 4 attackers

specific characters. Combo it by throwing in onion knight, who gets all the low-level spells, and you can spam added cut because you're throwing out spells like crazy

I had the arrows randomly start rotating during a FMS in a medley quest. I didn't know what the gently caress, except that it screwed up my perfect chain!!

THE AWESOME GHOST

Yeah it happens in quest mode if a FMS or BMS is really high level. For BMS you'll get spins and I think some other effects that can occur in Versus, and usually only while a boss is alive. For FMS as far as I can tell it's just a specific part of the song that has spinny arrows, and usually only happens if you're doing really well. I know I messed up once and the arrows stopped spinning.

If you have a setup like a bunch of limit breaks, armor break 3 and added cuts to instantly kill a boss you won't see it much in Battles

Lights, the Peacock King, First of His Name.

I've been using Terra with Doublecast + Trance + Faith + Ultima to nuke bosses so hard that the following 5~6 enemies get killed too. Feels good.

Currently AFK-grinding basic runs for collecticards while I work; if you set up Cosmos with Paeon 1/2/3 + Soul Voice, a few characters with Counter1/2/3+Added Cut, and someone with Ultima, you can just start FFXI's Opening Theme, miss every note, counter enough to get to a boss, and then Ultima down everything. I'm using Shantotto for that purpose since Trance actually takes work to activate, and Bluff + Doublecast + Ultima + Ancient Magic is still pretty good. I just have to reach over and tap through the 'victory' screen every couple of minutes to start a new run.
