Yeah I didn't realize you were supposed to use the VIII Waygate to exit, so I thinking, well, I had to go down to get to the goal, must need to go up to get out. Then I was running around in circles for an hour unlocking goddamn gates and jesus gently caress. I'm never going in there again.

Considering the plan is to get the Resistance to basically show up and arrest them in order to find out what the hell they're saying, yes? I mean hell if anything "I'M TOTALLY NOT AN IMPERIAL SPY" may have been the best (and funniest) approach.

Truth be told I can't really imagine Balthier and Basch just kicking it back over a mug of beer or whatever. Most of the party members don't seem like they'd gel that well together 1-on-1 other than the expected pairs like Balthier/Fran. Basically I like the party but it's not a fun gaggle of people to go on a long journey with. Meridian posted:Holy poo poo The Great Crystal is loving awful. This is why the BradyGames guide was actually super good because it actually included a solid map of the area. Honestly one of the best things I think they've put out, I'm just sad mine is falling apart at this point.

Zaphod42 posted:The guards look too similar to the villagers, so its easy to waste lots of progress, and the villagers themselves are super inconsistent as to which will count or not. Sometimes you get 3 people sometimes you only get 1 even though there's 2 or so. The minigame goes far more quickly when you realize the only people you really need to hear you are the city guides.

OneDeadman posted:The Ai should absolutely be smart enough to not cast spells/ use items on things that have no effect though? Just be careful or you'll have your White Mage cast through her entire MP bar recasting Decoy because Balthier the Knight is too bulky and Penelo the brand new WHM is too lovely to actually stick the spell. Because for whatever brilliant reason, it's counted as a Debuff on party. So he is resisting it, apparently? As for the Protect gambit, Ally = Any (or Leader, etc), Cast Protect should really smart-cast and ONLY cast Protect. I've never had it any other way.

Yeah, Decoy/Lure (whatever it's called now) can miss, and has a short duration (same with Reverse, iirc), so you definitely do NOT want to have those on all the time. I think it was the same in IZJS, but there was an accessory called, I think, the indigo pendant that basically removed the target's vitality from the equation when trying to land status spells (essentially giving you a 100% hit rate). At least in Vanilla, you could get it from the Saurian giant frog enemies when you can first return the barheim passage after doing the patient in the desert sidequest. Get up to chain level 4 on the weak frogs near the exit of the initially-available area (remember, don't pick up any loot to make the chain level rise faster), then go killing the stronger frogs in the newly accessible part until you get it. It makes a HUGE difference when trying to land statuses on bosses via spells, or for things like making sure Decoy actually lands every time.

I'd love an FF13 trilogy collection for PS4, but that might be way too big. I'd also just take remakes of the individual games. The PS3 had a hard time running them, especially 13-3.

Does anyone know how the steal RNG works in Trials? I've got a save at 49, trying to steal a ribbon off the monster but I keep getting the same item. Wondering if I can just keep loading the save or if I have to do 1-48 again to have another shot with different RNG. Answered my own question, just got an Elixir that time. For anyone farming items in trials, you can keep loading the same save until you get what you want.

The PS3 had a hard time running them, especially 13-3. Given I am perpetually broke these days and can't even play the copy of XIII-2 I bought for Steam, I too would like this. Then again, three last gen games would probably cost a pretty penny when I only really want to play one, maybe two, of them. Also it would have to include all the DLC but I dunno if it would. I don't think the Steam versions did because licensing or whatever?

The gambit system does the job of handling trash mobs at x4 speed and that's all I need from it. Is it worth trying to tackle White Mousse, the Ring Wyrm or Gil Snapper the moment they're available? Their health seems massive. Golden Goat fucked around with this message at 09:21 on Jul 17, 2017 |

Nomura speaks out about the lengthy development of Kingdom Hearts 3.quote:“A lot of people have been mentioning and making it sound like ‘Oh, Nomura’s taking too much time,’ and it hurts,“ Nomura said, through a translator. He explained that the decision was made above his head to switch development to Unreal Engine 4 after about a year of development, which caused extensive delays. In addition, certain timing and resources challenges within Square Enix had an effect. Never change, Square Enix.

Golden Goat posted:The gambit system does the job of handling trash mobs at x4 speed and that's all I need from it. They're generally pretty high tuned, although White Mousse gives a pretty powerful bow for completing the hunt. If you're going to go after the Mousse, run past all the enemies on the way to the next zone, then come back and tackle it. You can try and Quickening cheese it (since you should be right near a Save Crystal), or if you want to fight it 'fairly', it's vulnerable to Berserk and weak to Fire. I think they toned down Quickening chains a bit, but that might just be my imagination (or it could just be Ring Wyrm's massive health pool). Zaphod42 posted:I have the same issue, I'd love to set a gambit to steal but even if you do If you have someone else with a HP = 100% - Fira (or some other AoE ability) gambit, that'll usually soften all the enemies up to turn off Steal after the first attempt.
