My Bard glam bow atm is Augmented Crystarium Composite Bow, which also has a sword. :dance: It's also a bit tricky to dye to match other stuff since the bow and sheath/quiver do different things on a single dye so I made the bow pop as a highlight piece vs the rest of the glam.

That's the strategy I often go for as well. Either a completely different color or the outfit's secondary color that contrasts with the chest's main one. Axes and other large back weapons as well.

She's fabulous, but so far big glowy circles/horns and other neon bright weaponry is not for me. :laugh:

Nope, all you can do is sell extras for MGP to a Triple Triad vendor in either the Gold Saucer or the Battlehall instance

it's really not so bad, the challenge log pays out, per week:
21.5k for playing enough triple triad (win 10 in battlehall, play open tournament)
2.5k for interacting with minigames (win 100 mgp, play 3)
27k for afk losing 5 lord of verminion bot matches

and that's before mini cactpot/regular cactpot/fashion report!

That's my weekly mantra. I cleared Dream Triad Cards this week and Bronze/Silver/Gold save for the Gold Super Rares and Lahabrea in Silver. Got Cloud and every other MGP purchase card, so at least some of my hurdles are cleared. Have dozens of Dungeon/Trial drop only cards though. But hey, I learned I can clear Aery in 6 minutes. Vault was 5. Guess I've got my new a few runs a day to do.

You can also get squadron chemistries that award MGP after a successful mission. If your affinities line up right, you can get something like 12k from a weekly priority mission if you can have four people at 100%, plus however much you can get from other missions.

good news, you don't need WoL/Zidane for the mount

bad news, they're like 1/200 appearance rate according to the aggregate numbers on the internet (took me about 400 cards to get both so it felt about right)

edit: complaining works! Qitian Dasheng get. Just need Unknown, Mother Porxie, and Guidance Node and I get my hot toast

For triple triad you should go into the battlehall and beat whoever greenhands 10 times instead since it will get you an extra 2 challenges for playing and winning in the battlehall. The battlehall isn't some forced pvp thing.

I think the vermillion challenge only requires that you play 5 games, so you can just lose vs the cpu a few times. I used to do like mission 4, little big beast, since it's fairly quick and easy to clear, but apparently there's a particular mission people use to lose quickly?

I'm playing through 2 right now on my Steam Deck and it's loving great. The updated spell effects on the old-style pixels is cool as hell and the music is absolutely incredible. I don't even mind the font that so many people seemed to hate.

does it still have the extremely janky leveling system? that's the only thing that put me off of 2 but it feels weird to have a gap in my final fantasy history

Yeah, but honestly it's not really that bad once you get used to it. Like, just play and your stuff goes up and it's fine.

They're the best versions of each of those games, tbh. Highly recommend. (They even almost made 2 worth playing)

I can personally say that the FFV remaster is pretty much unchanged in difficulty. Some mechanics function differently and some bugs are fixed but it's nothing you'll notice unless you're already super deep in the weeds on 5.

IIRC, they made Cyan’s bushido charge independently of controlling him, and might have made Sabin’s Blitzes just a select menu?

Sorry 5 and 6 might be as is with no real balance changes outside of bugs (and fixes), which those games were always pretty breezy anyways. but off the top of my head all exp gain is doubled in 4. I think 1/2/3 also take a similar approach but I’m too lazy to see if they changed enemy stats also

decided a couple months ago i wanted a simpler WAR axe glam, since i quite liked the "normal fantasy adventurer" vibe of the 6.1 outfit and wanted something to go with it. unfortunately i discovered there was only one glam i really thought fit.

so for the first time i've completed the HW relic grind :toot:




(do wish it, like all axe glams, sat like a foot [fulm?] lower and closer to the center when sheathed, they always look too high up)
