Also an immortal machine god is a really cool concept for a villain. FF13 had so many great ideas that all fell flat.

This WoFF Ultimate Behemoth seems like the worst possible fight to start attempting ultimate clears. Meteor OHKOs the entire party so I am too scared to attack except right when the counterstance ends. The jerk eventually manages to take someone out and then everything crashes down the slippery slope.

He doesn't counter retaliated attacks, even if the strategy is more or less pure cheese. I will freely admit that I have no hesitation whatsoever in using it, especially for an Ultimate like this one.

The fight took like 15 minutes as my only reasonable reta user is weakish 65 Firion, but we got there in the end. I ran out of protect uses so he got one of my healers near the end but somehow still got the champion rewards too.

I finally got the RNG needed to master the D200 Belias Torment CM. Having Tailwind as my only real source of medica was tricky, and I got lucky with a timely use of it after I had just put Shout back up halfway through the fight. I coupled that with Cleansing Strike from Agrias to reduce the weak phase damage I was taking and it seemed to work out. Not having either Agrias or Orlandeau's BSB/OSB made me worried about damage output, but Agrias en-Holy SSB and a bunch of Saint's Crosses from Orlandeau turned out to be enough. Wall was definitely required as an RW in this case.

So I've always been a little confused on something and maybe someone can explain it to me. Why is it when I use say Vaans BSB which lowers Magic and Def every hit says resist and yet I still get the medal for lowering both of them? I see the same thing say when I use Ramza and full break but I still get the medals. So like is it work or is not working? How the hell do I tell if it actually worked?

It always works, unless it misses, if it says resist it just means you don't get the full effect.

MarcusSA posted:So I've always been a little confused on something and maybe someone can explain it to me. Resist means that it still worked just at reduced (50%) effectiveness. Just about every boss above 99 difficulty will have it, or else debuffs would be way too effective at mitigation. Outside of the Leblanc Trio a year ago and the non-Support Nightmares, most things aren't immune to debuffs. E:f;b

MarcusSA posted:So I've always been a little confused on something and maybe someone can explain it to me. resist is not immune. you're lowering the boss's mag/def by half of what it would do to an enemy that didn't resist it. any boss worth caring about has debuff resistance. it gets goofy when you use, say, rage of halone (minfilia BSB command 1) on a holy-weak boss - the text says resist since the ATK debuff is resisted but you're still dealing double damage from the element.

Resist means reduced effect, not no effect. It actually says No Effect if there's a status effect you're trying to land that the boss is immune to, or Null for elements or debuffs the boss is immune to.

Resist in RPG parliance usually means "not as effective", but I can see how it could be read as "This didn't work".

What inventory shenanigans do I need to perform to properly order the record materia list? I want my most common 10 showing up first, but I don't know how I need to shuffle them in/out of the vault and/or favorite them to make this happen.

Whoever decided "in series order" and "acquisition order" were the only allowed ways to sort RMs needs to be held up for Apology Mythril. You'd think they'd have gotten any of the other litany of sorting options that Relics have by now, but I guess allowing the player to sort by +PHY With Weapon Type or +School Damage would totally break the point of hiding the percentage values in-app. Andy Waltfeld fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Apr 15, 2017 |

No I know that, but the order IS determined by something else, as far as what is/isn't in your inventory and when it was added or pulled from the vault. I guess I'll just try vaulting literally everything and pulling out the ones I want first and/or last and see which works right.

When you sort by favorites it also sorts by Series, just separated out between favorites and non-favorites.

ApplesandOranges posted:Zeid from XI was the main bad guy in the base game. What? No. Zeid was only seen as a bad guy for a little bit in the later bastok missions. And like, even then no-one believed he was really a villian. Zeid was the hero who beat the shadow lord the first time around, and helped you out in at least 2 other campaigns. He was also the dark knight teacher.

NGDBSS posted:For future reference, the other major classes of uncounterable attacks besides counters are Soul Breaks (such as OSBs) and SUM-typed abilities. So in my case I just brought along Garnet/Alphinaud/Ashe as my damage dealers, using various summons (including Garnet's/Alphinaud's BSB commands) and SBs (like Ashe's OSB) to not care about the gimmick. Still, good job using Drawtaliate there! Thanks, the pointers are always appreciated. I could've used Golbez's BSB had I known that but really low on summons otherwise. The only summon abilities I've got are the free ones from 2nd anniversary. Blinded by hubris after defeating an ultimate fight I tried the Mote dungeons. Got absolutely spanked four times but somehow managed to beat the XIII one, I'm not sure what happened there. Asylum probably was the biggest contributor, what a crazy soul break. That Ifrit one in particular seemed impressively difficult. By the time I got an action off he had already clobbered 1-2 people to death.

Also the creators specifically designed her to remind people of Cloud. Hence her Lightning nickname and the similar hair style. Don't get me wrong, I really liked FF13 but I agree with almost every criticism of it.

Heavensward: You could technically say Estinien for Heavensward, but that's very much an FF4 Kain scenario. Archbishop Thordan is the other one that gets attention. Ascians, Diabolos, Quickthinks Allthoughts and a few others are also on the villainy list.

Still, good job using Drawtaliate there! Reflected spells also can't be countered normally. Note that there are some exceptions to ALL of these; FF5's Omniscient, for example, will react to any form of physical damage regardless of whether it's normally subject to counters.
