After bouncing off Tiamat a bunch I tried Black Mage and it was a cinch. Now I am doing every boss on Sage and beating them all first try. Just 3 white magic buffs right before entering the boss arena and 3 black magic spells asap to prep ultima.

Hey uh...the FF6 PR opera scene is very much better in Italian. I would say anyone playing through it should watch a youtube video of it in Italian because Celes' singer really goes for it.

Tiamat is a right big jerkbag but also you can make the fight tremendously easier on yourself with correct party composition.

I find that a party comp that plays to whatever boss' weaknesses is fairly noticeable, as opposed to running around where they're only pretty okay if you activate them. Chimera and Tiamat got me to adjust to hard mode play and where pretty fun even while failing at them for a little while each. Dragon Zombie sucks and wasn't fun. Luckily I had Lich shortly after that and that fight, and it's intro scene, were pretty fun.

Anyone have any tips for consistently building max mp? I feel like I'm missing something about the system, a lot of my kills seem to come from straight hp damage so I'm not getting a lot of opportunity to burst enemies. I've mostly been messing around with red mage and tyrant with one handed sword and I'm not sure if I might need to swap either a class or a weapon type to better build things up. I can get some built up from the rdm trait that gives auto-bursts on kills from r1 r1 r1 r2, but it's not been a super reliable strategy. Trying to farm max mp through circle parries seems slow as well. Once I have myself built up to full max mp I can get the rdm gameplan of chain nuke - magic regen - get a burst - repeat going, but getting there is giving me some trouble Also this is probably the first 3rd person action game I've played in like a decade so I'm both straight trash at execution and also confused at what's going on most of the time

Some jobs have bonus break damage, like Dragoon. Jump usually fully breaks a bar, it rules

I've seen other people jump way across a room to hit a target and last time I tried it my character just jumped in place and hardly did any damage. Maybe it was a lag thing since I wasn't hosting. Are you penalized for not using a lance even though dragoons can use multiple weapon types?

Once I have myself built up to full max mp I can get the rdm gameplan of chain nuke - magic regen - get a burst - repeat going, but getting there is giving me some trouble 1) Learn enemy weaknesses. 2) Multi-hitting moves do more break damage in my experience. 3) Weapon skills do a lot more breaking that basic light attacks, especially the ones you get from skill trees. 4) Slamming enemies into walls does a ton of break, so practice good positioning. Or abuse Aero spells, which seem to repeatedly bash enemies to walls. On Action difficulty, I use the above to get a finisher on almost every enemy. Edit: One other thing I've been reminded of now that I'm dipping my toes into Chaos difficulty is that item level matters a lot. If you're more than like three ilevels below what's recommended for the stage, you're going to have a much harder time soul bursting enemies.

Enemies will also do ridiculous stagger damage too you So you may just be too undergeared if you are barely doing any stagger damage at all.

I think my biggest annoyance at the moment (unless Im wrong) is the passives aren't cross class. Thats fine for things like "way more i-frames" or whatever but it feels weird as hell for like "deal 4.3% more holy damage" Bosses have different skills to steal in different phases so like Malboro phase 2 gives a way bette spell than phase 1. This doesn't seem to matter to Sage who Im trying to put of using cause magic is already poweful as hell.

Playing sage is basically like lowering the difficulty a level and I am here for it. Is there any reason to save anima shards(not crystals)? I'm at the point where I'm starting to juggle affinity/jobs with the sole purpose of "must level everything" but I have like 80 of them and if I can blitz stuff up to level 10-15 or so when I switch to them it would help a lot. e: or if they work for master exp that would be a good reason to save them I suppose

shards are just for boosting your level. in fact I don't think anything in Chaos difficulty drops shards, just crystals.

Gonna take a look at this next time I play (and it might explain why this game feels brutally difficult on anything other than story difficulty lol) Also could explain why tyrant felt wrong to me, I know a lot of enemy weaknesses off the top of my head from my FFXI days and while I was obliterating enemy hp bars with it, I wasn't getting a whole lot of break damage which it sounds like you're supposed to get if you're hitting enemy weaknesses pretty soft girl fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Mar 21, 2022 |

Tyrant's got some sort of passive or affinity bonus I think? where continuous hits under an en- spell will build up a vuln of that element on the enemy and it's really funny building a wind vuln on a Master Tonberry before my sage friend just blasts the poo poo out of them with Aeroga unrelated: love the music in this game! kinda funny to me that I'm able to instantly recognize when mizuta's got input on a game's soundtrack

Pretty much any debuff works that way, getting hit builds up the actual debuff meter and you don't actually get afflicted with it until it fills. There's a few exceptions (Bad Breath, one of the Wraith grabs come to mind) but otherwise it's pretty standard across the board.

I can't be bothered to do manual equips, though I'm only just through the FF13 area post dark elf so I'm not sure if there's really any benefit to it yet anyway I assume it becomes a lot more important on chaos/in the end game?

Injustice 2 and MK11 actually really smoothed out their gameplay. The only bad part is they also introduced terrible mobile f2p mechanics as well.
