I mighta liked it even more had I played it back in the day, but playing it right after/alongside the 13s, 15, and Octopath it felt clunky in the transition from not being firmly "classic" style and not having the QoL and streamlining parts of the more modern stuff. The Ivalice style is great and I'd love to see more in not-an-MMO with the art level allowed by newer tech instead of the PS2-era look. How bout an FFXV flashback DLC yo. So, now take that ending, and realize that in centuries, Ivalice's many, varied races would die, leaving only humans and monsters, the monsters themselves would eventually rot away, Ivalice would grow weaker, and more pathetic until all that remains is a snowy, sleepy town called St. Ivalice. Magic all but dead from the world.

Help. Random battles keep killing me in FFT now, due to Ramza being much higher level then the rest of the worthless dickheads I've been dragging around the continent. Am I just hosed? Ramza's good, but he can't win the battles alone while the rest of the team flail helplessly in the background.

If nothing else, save scum away the random battles and focus on story battles, which don't scale with level. Alternatively, find a level-down trap and send Ramza through the ringer. Granted, both of those are pretty lame options. Otherwise, look up some of the tricks to break the game, or trigger an easy encounter, kill all but one foe, then nullify it by Toad or Chicken or whatever while you spam the poo poo out of Accumulate.

All of those options sound grindy and boring, but I'll need to do something to rectify this mess. I don't know what or where a level-down trap would be? Are they just trap tiles? I'm trying to just play through the game and not use guides or anything, but that is getting increasingly harder. I've looked up how to get optional characters, currently working on Cloud which is where the random battles come in. I've heard arithmaticians are good, but currently he can only slowly count to five and is useless. I have Orlandeu, but he is also high level and I'm reluctant to use him and increase the level divide further.

I think you can do randoms without Ramza and it will scale to the average level of the other shlobs. Can you go back to the beginning area for easier fights?

Bring 3 or 4 high level people and 1 or 2 shlobs and slowly let them level up. Alternatively there's a level down tile in the first desert map. About half way down.

Calculators or whatever the new translation call them are very powerful...after a lot of grinding, first for spells from other jobs, then grinding the abilities on Calculator (who is utterly garbage without said abilities) to be able to use those abilities. They're pretty much an end-point for your mages, with the result being you pretty much get free reign of directing where magic flies without having to worry about silly things like MP or Charge Time. Long story short, CT5 Holy at the beginning of battle will generally hit everyone, and if you gear your team up with Holy-absorbing gear things get really ridiculous really quickly. It's just that it takes a good bit of grinding AP to actually set this up. Other options include ditching the characters you've been developing all game for the slew of optional characters the game throws at you in Chapter 4, though it's definitely understandable if you'd rather stick with the crew you've been using all game. And at least women have a "pretty much immortal" option in a specific perfume that always casts Reraise, pretty much making your team unkillable, though you'll have to do some Monster Hunting to grab it. Elephant Ambush posted:If that's the case you'll have to grind and that sucks. Bring 3 or 4 high level people and 1 or 2 shlobs and slowly let them level up. But yeah, unfortunately other than the above that looks like your best option.

infinite AP only works on the ps1 version, and only with classes have have scrolling lists. which, iirc, calculator does not. there's also a ton of minutiae with the infinite AP trick so it's not nearly as easy as you make it sound

I don't think there's anything else the amount of JP you get (or LOSE) depends on the ability you scroll down to. it also changes whether the skill you're pointing at has either been learned, or you don't have enough JP to get. depending on the situation, you can get as few as like negative 72 JP, up to thousands and loving thousands. it's extremely finicky. definitely save before you experiment.

I certainly remember leaving my high-level folks out of my party being a viable option for fixing scaling on the mobile version. Give it a try, it might work.

I have never done it and gotten anything other than 9999 so maybe I looked up a very specific method that just always works well by chance

I'd agree with it ONLY if they agree that FFX HD should be played with the original soundtrack.  Also FF13 should be played on PC fullstop if you have a decent/good PC. The load times alone are much faster, and the only issue you need to sort out is controllers, which is true of many new PC ports to this day and is plenty fixable so it's not as big of a deal as you'd expect. At this point, the PC port has minor issues Instant Grat posted:You realize that article recommends the DS remake of FF3 Yeah, in hindsight this is kinda right. The article already suggests playing things like the SNES version of 6, the GBA version of 5, and the PSP version of 4 over the more easily available versions out there already. Either they are expecting common people to have all these older consoles on hand, or that emulation shouldn't be an issue. And if you're already into emulators, then poo poo, just throw on the translation patch for 3.

I assume it's because you need a physical copy of 3 for the full experience. So it's easier to find the Gameboy version and then throw it in the garbage.

You dont actually own a wanzer but I read you can commandeer enemy wanzers temporarily. Yoji Shinkawa is one of the art and character designers so at least the game will have that signature Metal Gear style to it.

One of the Armored Core old-guard is on the team too, so at least on paper it already sounds a bit better than "the team that brought you Silent Hill Homecoming".

Seymour Battle might fit the game's sound a little better with the sound font changes but it is absolutely criminal that they took the Hammond organ out of the series prog rock climax.

I cant believe traveling made me late to the FFT is a lovely loving game chat but Im here and FFT is a piece of poo poo and after 4 attempts I still havent beaten it because every playthrough hits some different stupid loving thing Im not willing to deal with. Now lets double dip on the stupid; FF Dimensions is great.
