I'm enjoying the FFXV online game. My avatar ended up being a pretty sad little bum lady who nevertheless is a freakin' badass. It feels strange to play a FF game with a somewhat normal looking person.

Never thought I'd see Libertus again, so that's neat too.

Yeah, Comrades is pretty legit so far. Load times are kind of a bitch, and it could use some QoL stuff, and Quick Play is broken, but I'm surprised how stable it launched otherwise.

It would not be out of place or Ivalice Alliance's writing if they decided to just windmill slam FF14 in there and retcon everything again for the ninth time.

Ivalice is a great setting that seemingly purposefully is not meant to make sense.

Yeah, literally the opening scene of FF Tactics is a guy telling you that history isn't 100% set in stone.

Yeah, Comrades seems pretty cool so far. Got a neat katana after beating Gladiolus, fought with Aranea and had Cindy make a salad that gave a store discount buff.

I have to say - beating up Gladiolus as a level five woman like half his size felt pretty good.

Epecially when he leaves town immediately afterwards and Iris congratulates you for taking him down a peg.

If anything the online dlc is better played offline cause it seems to result in less frequent load times and bugs. Also it lets you actually able to fight for more than a minute cause if you get like two or three people who know what they are doing the mission is over very quickly.

Also his ancestor who wrote the story just happens to have god-tier time manipulation abilities in combat and the author's father-in-law was destruction incarnate on the battlefield. Oh and the king he hated was a complete and total rear end in a top hat who manipulated everyone around him and you should definitely hate him too.

I'm surprised you heard about that but not the game itself trolling players by locking them out of progression by failing to set aside enough server space to allow everyone to enter plot-critical instanced battles. It was a good time.

Let's be honest with ourselves.

Celestial Opposition doesn't even come close to Holy.

e:

Oh yeah this isn't the XIV thread.

Holy is a spammable AoE damage ability that looks really cool, does a boat load of damage, and has a hefty stun.

Celestial Opposition also looks really cool but it has a 2 minute cooldown and does no damage. The stun duration is the same as Holy but you can't spam it.

Beat FF12 last night. Heck of a ride. I really liked it except for Pharos tower and the optional upper great crystal area which were unfun slogs. I wish they explained what happened to Venat and the Occurrians after the ending. Everyone claimed they broke free from Occurrian control but there's nothing that shows that.

You're probably too low levelled anyway, but a good Quickening chain can take out a lot of his health. He's pretty much immune to physicals after he puts it ups, so you'll need to stick with magic.

Pretty sure I can do it because he had a sliver of health left

The way I remember doing it from years ago:

Stop outside the door to his room, and get out your 2 best attackers. Cast haste, bravery, and berserk on them and put them away in reserve right away (to preserve buff time), and bring out your sacrifice unit. The sacrifice unit runs in and casts dispel or something; I dunno, I remember them eating an opening attack and dying. Then bring out your real attack squad and have them tear into him and pretty much kill him before he can get to the paling phase.

I just stunlocked him eternally with a katana tbh, quickest of the three for me. Not looking forward to sparring with the trio at once whenever that is available for me.

I do love how he just stands there spamming like blizzaga, and only physically attacks when you're in range and he hears you.

He has some kind of counter attack which does 9999 damage to me, so spamming attacks didn't work at all. Makes me look forward to his DLC though.

If you get him staggered he'll stunlock eternally, but my katana is also beefy as gently caress right now so that may have helped.

This is a good basic rundown for how to evolve them properly. Beyond that it's up to you what kind of build you want, since weapon stats are the main way to build your character stats.
