The RNG was unusually kind! Exdeath spent most of his turns doing normal attacks and dispelling double cast protects. Only took 9 tries... Team garbage-rear end rides on.

On the plus, you'll be able to coast through W3 and the rift with little to no issue; Chicken Dancing is pretty much your only source of damage with that team, but goddamn if it doesn't deliver. Half of the time. Or less, if you don't have a Rainbow Dress. (Get a Rainbow Dress as soon as you can for your dancer and anyone in your team you intend to put Equip Ribbons on)

My current team is Black Mage/White Mage/Ranger/Mystic Knight. So far, I've been breezing through the game, but now I've hit a major roadblock, and I need some help from this thread. I just can't decide which Krile sprite is cuter. Black Mage or White Mage?

White Mage Krile is one of the best sprites in the entire game. The trouble with your situation is that Galuf is the best Black Mage, tho, with that magnificent beard popping out of the void between his hat and robes. IMO: Black Butz, Ranger Lenna, Mystic Faris, White Krile.

My last regular run has so far gotten me Monk and Berserker. The only way this could be worse is if I get Geomancer for fire and Dancer for earth. It's also identical to my first run this year so far, though since that was Berserker Risk I had Monk/Zerk/Zerk which is impossible this time.

Dancer owns.  Actually all of the Earth Crystal Jobs are good and cool, but I guess Dragoon is my least favorite.

Dancer is great but... Actually yeah never mind I'd rather have Dancer than Dragoon. Dancer can deal some serious damage with CK Sword Dance, Dragoon gets basically nothing.

Finally got my Aeroga. Took too long to get that A Rage to give me White Wind. Said  to Exdeath and Lv2 Olded and spammed Lv5 Death until it stuck.Now just need to get my Meteo on and Bio-cheese Omega. So maybe tomorrow I can stick a fork in it and debate making a fourth run.

I'm considering another run, myself. Given my 26-hour clear time, I could probably blitz through the game again in the rest of this month, considering I won't have the distractions of the Steam Summer Sale and whatnot to deal with. I will miss my !Blue toolkit, though. I know I had a really good party this time around, but blue magic was seriously carrying me a lot of the time, I would not have been able to clear some fights without it. Or rather, would not have been able to clear some fights at full health. White Wind is OP. I think it's also the first time I've ever collected the entire Blue Magic set for this game, and only the third time in the franchise (I filled out an Enemy Skill materia in 7 and Quistis' Limit Break list in 8). Come to think of it, a Job Class-based run of FF7 would be interesting.

It's doable, but as someone who once killed Songlocked Omega with only a limp-wristed Coral Sword Blue Mage for offense, I can warn you that it'll take forever. I think Red Mage is the one with higher Strength, so that'd be a better option while Blue helps with Songlocking, but it's still tedious. Beats waiting out a Quickleak though.

I could be wrong.

You're probably thinking of the other Stop method, Calmlocking, given that !Calm now works as it was intended to (i.e. working on Magic Beasts but not on non-beasts such as Omega, instead of the other way around).

Yeah you really have to get the timing right on Romeo's Ballad, if you do it too fast it "overlaps" and he'll get a turn or two. So I cheated a bit and looked at my earth job even though I'm at the Library of Ancients. Looks like my final part is Monk/Berserker/Ranger/Samurai. Honestly not bad at all, though I have no way of doing either of the superbosses. Still, Berserker can get Equip Bows and Monk will probably be a second Gil Tosser, and Rapid Fire CK is always sweet. And hey, I'll even get some full party healing from Animals for a while.

Nasgate posted:From what I remember reading, romeo locking is just more time sensitive and finicky. Yeah, it's definitely doable, but it's so hard I gave up. I'm pretty sure it's not possible to get the timing perfect to just let it run, even with three hasted and max speed singers, so you just have to stare at him hard with your finger over the Sing button and mash it as soon as he changes color to indicate he's un-stopped. It's basically a reflex test, 200 times in a row. If you have a good team like Ranger and Mystic Knight to go with your Bard so you don't have to hit him so many times, I think it's definitely doable. Even if it takes a long time, it's not impossible, but it is the opposite of fun.

Sandworm: level 2 elemental spells from people, maybe swords from Red Mages Cray Claw: Thundara or broken thunder rods Adamantoise: Blizzara or broken ice rods Sol Cannon: Probably just straight up broken thunder rods Archeoavis: This will be a slog but with white magic it shouldn't be a dangerous one. Ancient Sword on one Red Mage and probably a Mage Masher (?) on the other, everybody else loads you up with Safe and just heals a lot. Broken rods on the first couple forms will probably outdamage physical attacks but you just have to be conscious about what he absorbs (iirc it's nothing, then ice, then fire, then lightning, then nothing again after he revives).
