in the middle of a dungeon and two different characters maxed out their jobs, its so tempting to just leave, switch jobs, and redo the dungeon

I'll end up doing this since the dungeons are pretty straight forward

The dungeon is quick once you know the path through and cast the spell that protects against random encounters for a bit

Oh yeah...well it's still quicker if you're not exploring all the side paths, and the extra boss heals your hp/mp before the battle so go nuts with high cost moves to make fights go quicker I suppose.

i just beat him with the classes i had, but i had to reset a few times cos if he did bolt from the blue 2 turns in a row (my chars were all slower than him and if the first one killed my omni healer then i couldnt revive in time) then it was game o ver. magic barrier and insulatle didnt reduce the damage much either qq. well, its done now.

It's just beginning actually. How many turns did you beat him in?

like, 10-15 i think. it wasnt a long fight really. i was doing 1000+ dmg even on the turns i was healing, i guess he probably has no more than 15k hp

just keep an eye on the indicator in the final sequence, and when it lights up don't leave until you find it. I just missed it because I wasn't even thinking of fragments possibly being in that part

I'm less excited for the 8 remake since it's already a masterpiece in my eyes. I'd probably feel similar if I had played 7 originally but w/e, it's how I feel.

I'd be curious to see how they design the new party members at least.

Are there any changes to speed speed up encounters in the 3DS version in Japan? I thought VIII was great but I could be into a more succinct version now

Edit:
A gamefaqs contributor says:

quote:

1. Encounters can be seen on the field
2. High speed combat mode added
..
13. Alchemy is now instant. You can also synthesise up to 99 items in 1 session if you have enough ingredients.
14. You can set the MC under auto (AI) in combat now. You cannot remove MC from main party after you have more than 4 members.

Sounds cool

Hmm, it so it appears that the 3ds version has midi tracks instead of orchestral because the original composer is hitler

Yeah but they advertised that the Japanese 3DS version had the orchestrated soundtrack, so even if the music is better than the old midi ones it sucks that the composer went crazier and decided no one after 2015 could have it.

The same thing happened with DQ7 3DS, the Japanese version has orchestrated music. It's so weird

The weirdest part is that even the smartphone version of 7 that came out a week after the us release doesn't have it. Composer just decided that he hated his orchestrated soundtracks in games.
