decided I didn't have any FF12 synergy (I have penelo's ssb)

so i pulled on the banner2

got Basch's unique shield and larsa's SSB.

I guess I shouldn't pull on this banner and save up for the next one.

They need to make a chocobo a playable character for FFT. Give it black 5 and a meteor-based SB since the realm needs some more mages anyway

i knew fft was starved for mages up until rapha and marach showed up but it wasn't until this very moment that i realized that there's not a single character from that realm that can use summons, of any rank. that seems weird

I think the hope was for people who were actually in. (Unless Elidibus is in the Japanese version, anyway, but I assume if they add an Elidibus it'll be the FF14 version.)

If they eventually add her, maybe Reis for the same reason Krile is, as a beastmaster - she's got automatic Monster Talk, Monster Skill and Tame in her human class.

FFXII CM cleared. Man that was pretty awesome. Shantotto BSB was MVP. My team wasn't very strong either, mostly lower 70s characters.

Team was
Balthier lvl 72 firaga strike and steal power
Fran lvl 72 FB, MBD
Ashe lvl 95 dispel and RW bot, have her BSB
Penelope lvl 76 shellga and ultracure
Larsa lvl 72 protectga and curaja

Main thing was using exploiting Ashe's lighting buffs and then blowing through the weak phase as quickly as possible. To maximize Ashe's lightning cycle attacks, I used Balthier to blow through fire phase. There was some RNG involved to not get silenced, especially for my healers.

Anyway I think I'm satisfied with that being my last CM for at least a few weeks as I have poo poo synergy and the difficulty's going up. For anyone who's maxed out the game and not doing CMs, I highly recommend trying it for an extra challenge.

Not sure I'd ever use his USB over Shout unless I'm spamming Lifesiphon and can have both running at the same time alongside VoF.

If you have VoF running alongside, then the hastega on Shout is redundant, meaning your actual choice is between +50% ATK or +30% ATK/MAG/DEF plus party Powerchain.

In most cases, the def bump and instant-cast effect would make Ramza USB better, since before long you're hitting softcap, either for ATK or buffs.

Granted, if Shout is your only hastega, that kind of takes priority, but in situations where someone else has that taken care of.

How is Auron physically impeded, aside from being dead (Which could then count Tidus)? He just slings his arm because that's a ronin thing, not because it's actually busted.

Raise is always debated in utility but it's generally pretty great in multiplayer fights where things can go to poo poo easily and quickly. Even if you ignore that raise part though, Curaga + Haste + Last Stand is drat fine combination.

Also that last stand helps ease one of raise's biggest drawbacks, where someone comes back unbuffed and liable to get instagibbed.

Poochy ain't Stupid.
I might be.
Yeah, Yuna USB is pretty much the best Raise ever. Best for multiplayer since it doesn't actually have medals for KOs, just for making sure 4 characters are alive at the end of the battle.

Raise + Last Stand + Haste means whoever you brought back to life will actually be able to do something instead of instantly die again.

And some more details on the JP FFIII event.

Aria
White 5/Support 3/Bard 5/Dancer 4
Dagger, Rod, Staff, Instrument
Hat, Light Armor, Robe, Bracer

Just +9% healing and minor Silence resist in her Record Spheres.

Burning Crush is 0.68x damage per hit (2.72x base potency) with +20% critical chance per hit. Slightly weaker than Exploding Fist by the numbers but of course it can be boosted by EnFire and hitting weakness.

Refia's USB incorporates that popular chocobo hug scene into a beatdown (with an appearance from Burning Crush).
Arc's BSB2 invokes the Water Crystal for some holy deluges.
Aria's BSB beseeches the Water Crystal for aid.
Aria's SSB shields the party with some divine protection.

4 CMs on this event:
1st CM requires Ingus in party
2nd CM requires Desch in party
3rd CM requires FF3 only party with Aria
4th CM requires FF3 only party
