Oh okay for some of the catmancy skills you have to charm enemies in order for them to use them. I guess I should charm with the cake job?

Ba'als are hard when they're not level one. NG+ questions When the moon is gone and all the random encounters are Ba'als, how strong are they. The only one I can manage is the Urchin but the others just crush me. Is it to pressure you to start NG+ asap or am I just bad.

You're supposed to NG+ ASAP to advance the plot, yeah. Just remember that you've got a command aside from Attack during the first battle.

Well I finished off getting all the titles. The last thing I had to do ended up being fight two turtledoves, which made me chuckle.GreenBuckanneer posted:Oh okay for some of the catmancy skills you have to charm enemies in order for them to use them. I guess I should charm with the cake job? Or you can confuse them with that butterfly Catmancy. And later on you can get a job that makes it easy. Or you can stick confuse/charm on a special move and use that. Tipme posted:Ba'als are hard when they're not level one. NG+ questions They're quite strong, but it's more a case of unless you're trying to fill the bestiary you may as well go straight on to NG+ since you can't carry on the story until you do and they're not exactly worthwhile grinding either.

Everything carries over by default unless you specify otherwise, for whatever the hell reason.

How the hell am I getting away with paralyzing so many bosses? Is Patissier secretly... powerful?

How do you boost Mind to make stuff like paralyze hit? Besides going to a healer class.

Last Celebration posted:How do you boost Mind to make stuff like paralyze hit? Besides going to a healer class. I'm pretty sure ailment success rates are based on Int rather than Mind. Aside from changing jobs, you could equip an accessory to increase it. You can also use enfeebling-type special moves like Withering Wave to lower your enemy's paralysis resistance before trying to land the ailment.

The most important thing is the Status Ailment Amp ability.

Catmancer damaging abilities run off of P. Atk, right? Even the ones that seem magical like Electrolysis? Or does it vary by skill?

It is a sign of how god-awful broken Salvemaker is that a crippled version of it with only like 1/5th the capabilities is still one of the best jobs in the sequel.

Salvemaker is pretty much the Chemist from FFV, which was also one of the most broken jobs there. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was outright called the Chemist in the Japanese version of Default.

Leofish posted:Catmancer damaging abilities run off of P. Atk, right? Even the ones that seem magical like Electrolysis? Or does it vary by skill? It varies by skill, but like 95% of them use P. Attack. Basically anything with the sword icon (the ones most special skills in general have) use strength and the ones with a staff (pretty sure this is just Starlight, which is kind of a shame since so little resists Holy) use magic.

I never even thought of throwing death cakes to clear encounters. Typically your patissier can spam Flambe and clear out an encounter that way too though. Right now my Magnolia is Kaiser/Patissier so she does the 200% attack boost first and clears out any encounter

Oh my God, why did I not think of the little icons? Thank you for your help. I'll stick with claws on my cat/pat, then. I was tempted to go with staff to boost the opportunity of the first special coming up for extra BP, but the 2nd knuckle special pops often enough at the rate I use items.

I finally beat this game after getting it a week or two after launch. It is a good game. I should have played on hard though, and I wish it had the asterisk boss clusters Bravely Default had in the last two chapters.

You can change the difficulty at any time though so it was easy to just switch over to Hard if you felt like it Agreed on the second part though

I wish there were more gimmicky and interesting asterisks like the exorcist and guardian instead of dumping a lot of the old ones back in. I am glad that obliterate is back however since I'm at the grind all jobs to max phase of the game.

It's easier to do without obliterate now, but I am glad it's back in because it makes bestiary grinding much easier.

So I'm browsing the earlier pages and apparently magic is super broken? I tried to have a mage early on but the actual wizard spells (i.e. the things you apply spiritcraft to) are crap, red mage is mediocre and I chose ranger over black mage. By the time I seriously had an opportunity to try maging I was a healer plus three Dual Wield + Triple/Quad Wield melee folks. Well I still killed all four of the final boss' phases in a single brave flurry each so given that I don't care about postgame it probably doesn't matter that I wasn't optionally broken.

Bishop is a really cool class because it's a healing class that functions totally independent of spellpower. It's probably a bit too good at that, honestly, but it does mean as long as someone has the MP for it even physical dudes can use it. The animation when Swordmaster triggers is so good I forgive myself for using it several turns in the row instead of just whacking someone in the face.

Bishop's only big weakness is that it's rear end at healing more than one person at a time.

Or.. you know.. spellcraft. Benediction mist first round, when things get rough resurrection mist.

Yeah even without spellcraft Group Mastery benediction and Undo HP cover everything you could want besides multi-rezzing

Vivify all, even without spellcraft it any abilities, is a nice top-us-off thing to do and you get it super early

I used white wind for all my in battle healing the entire game. I used resurrection mist for everything else and eventually reraise mist so I could stop slotting white mage or bishop magic. I never came around on the iron wall builds or whatever. I use soul mirror for reflecting stuff if I ever needed it. I tried ghost stuff but I hated the aesthetics of it all.

Rascyc posted:SM is worth it for katana lore too. Katanas are basically one of the best weapon classes for much of the game cause they come with built in critical bonus. Katana critical bonus, so what double katana big critical bonus, whoa okay good triple katana biggest critical bonus, game over katanas are the best weapon

What should I use for a BP amp to get 99 victory streak? In terms of damage I feel like I should be mixing exorcist with dark night for massive damage but I'm not sure how to set these things up.
