Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
In FFT, the Squire class gets two very important abilities (imo): JP Up and Throw Stone. JP Up is a multiplier to the JP earned by any action, and Throw Stone is a weak ranged attack with no cost. In the beginning of the game I usually spend several battles killing all the monsters except one, then throwing stones at my party members to gain a bunch of JP. You’ll wind up gaining abilities and classes a lot faster than if you were just focusing on finishing maps as quickly or efficiently as possible.

I’m a little bummed about this Warcraft 3 news because I never had a copy myself and only played bits at friends houses. It interested me but I’ve never been a major PC gamer. Now it looks like I’ll never be able to get the unadulterated version

>grinds with throw stone but not accumulate

even ignoring the obvious resource cost, accumulate also activates in fewer frames. also the correct way to do it is with a mediator/orator, or possibly an oracle with move-mp up, so you can Chicken the last man standing instead. but both options are honestly kind of poo poo because the accuracy sucks on the former and the latter has slightly better accuracy but without a ton of MP to spam their skills (which you won't have properly until you get advanced mage armor in ch3) oracles are basically dead weight options-wise

Yeah I guess accumulate would be better, Throw Stone is cheaper I think then JP Up then I usually move on. I got the iOS version a year ago and I think I’m still in Ch 1 just throwing rocks. Obvs I haven’t played it in months.

Today I was reading a chapter from Global Crisis: Climate Change and Catastrophe in the 17th Century

I got inspired to start an op-ed:

o 1600s: Health Crisis from a LACK of long-term caloric intake; Example: loss of 30% body weight causes low blood pressure and less nutrients to be absorbed. Factors include LACK of Food from Droughts and Famine, reduced physical activity from chronic malnutrition, vitamin deficiency from scarce diet and poverty. These complications can make diseases fatal (dysentery, pneumonia).

o 2000s: Health Crisis from a SURPLUS of long-term caloric intake; Example: rise of 30% body weight causes high blood pressure and less nutrients to be absorbed. Factors include SURPLUS of Food from Dietary and Fiscal abundance, reduced physical activity from more sedentary lifestyle, vitamin deficiency from fast food diet. These complications can make diseases fatal (diabetes, heart disease).

JP up should not have been a skill and you should just earn that amount of JP at base imo

Ok cool. I’m just going to use all my save slots and see what works. I’m probably going to have to abandon the guy beset by highwayman outside Gariland because if I pick the rescue option he immediately runs into the middle of the Corpse Brigade and gets destroyed before I can even hit him with a potion.

Does that account for people doing multiple posts in a row some of the posters do? That's not a slam against those that do that, I mean I've done that too, just wondering if the numbers wouldn't be a bit bloated that way.

This is wrong. She was bad and annoying in BotW. But at least you got it right after that. So just move BotW to the end and you are good.

Yeah, you don’t have do anything extreme. It just has the potential to be gamed since there are a lot of systems. Not to continue the FFT chat forever but with that guy you’re talking about, you actually get a (minor) better reward for saying your duty is to kill the bandits instead of save the dude.
