I had a lot of fun in my 2 runs but I played them on iOS and I can't handle sitting through all of those cutscenes again without some kind of turbo function, all in all my runs ran somewhere around 14 hours each With fast-forward, and actually powering through it in one go, I can get a run done in like 3 hours or so. It depends on how excite for the run I am.

Even if I had something that could run the iOS/Android version of the game, I would still play the GBA ROM, because I just could not deal with not having fast forward. Also save states are nice too.

CharlestheHammer posted:Beast/sum/geo/geo. If catching a Crystelle/Thing for shell is too annoying and you're alright with putting summon on a bunch of guys you can spam Shoat/Catoblepas on the Almagest part (bottom right) until it works. Success rate is somewhere in the 10-15% range per cast depending on your level, but most of the time it'll work before Almagest gets cast.

My Catoblepas-Summoning didn't get through, but that sure did.I finished two runs (NED only) on Mobile with about 20h each. Did all the sidequests in both, though. I'm patient and play while watching other stuff/commuting.

So, what are the limitations of Job Fairing? Do you have to JF for an earlier job before unlocking any later sets? In my case, I'm on a Random run and got Blue Mage and Berserker for my first two jobs. Could I go ahead and unlock the rest to see what jobs I got (to reduce the chance of repeats), then JF away Berserker, or do I have to JF Berserker before unlocking Fire?

Prism posted:Like... he's a zombie, or what? No he was literally a dead body on the ground and when he attacked his body rotate 180 degrees. It was hilarious. Not sure it can be duplicated but my chemist confused Bartz and in his confusion Bartz killed himself. I think he was a thief and wielding a knife weapon at the time. I was also fighting one of those Omega clones in the pyramid so I'm not sure if he had any weird status effects on him. Sephiroth_IRA fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Jul 16, 2015 |

You can 'cheat' the unlocks if you want just by tweeting gilgabot. And you can job fair anything at any point. The only limitation is in the design - you will only be able to JF a crystal's job to jobs from that crystal. So, even if you're doing a run that can give you a water job for fire, if you JF the job you were assigned for the fire crystal, you will have to pick a fire job to replace it.

Ugato posted:So, even if you're doing a run that can give you a water job for fire, if you JF the job you were assigned for the fire crystal, you will have to pick a fire job to replace it. Not true. You can replace a particular crystal's job with one from the same crystal or an earlier. So your new fire job could be from the wind, water, or fire crystal but not earth. For example in my last chaos run after getting yet another loving Geomancer as my third job I job faired it for a Time Mage which I hadn't used before. If you're not doing Chaos or Random, though, you should stick to the same crystal just on principle.

 I know this team can get a Triple Crown, but ugh... getting to World 3 is gonna suck. I'm gonna have to teach everyone Catch in Galuf's basement in order to beat World 2 Exdeath, with no way to kill the statues except Gold Needles. Having kept that all-Freelancer save at the Fire Crystal is a great time-saver, though.

I wouldn't wish Adamantoise with 4 Bards on my worst enemy. I mean, it's far from the cruelest challenge, but having to farm Elixirs to kill Adamantoise of all bosses is really insulting.

Well drat. I've decided to go ahead and see my classes, as I was thinking of starting with the fiesta mod. I got time mage, bard, samurai and chemist.  I had 3 of those jobs already, but whatever. I'll get through this run super fast and try it again! What kind of synergy does bard have with this group even though?

Also, anything undead hates the gently caress out of Requiem, so the Great Sea Trench is going to be great for you.

Sing is to random encounters what Mix is to bosses, so Bard is always nice to have. You can also give !Time to the Bard to increase his magic power, and then watch him do ridiculous damage against dragons and the undead with the Apollo's Harp.

By the time you'd need Float, you can confuse enemies via the Dancing Dagger. e: wait, poo poo, misread. Feed an ether to a Poison Eagle in Drakenvale and wait for it to Float you.

Blood Sword uses the magic multiplier, and doesn't check the Command Modifier to multiplier like most physical attacks do. And yes, two-handed doubles the multiplier even though the status screen says it doubles attack.
