Actually no I think the best Steal command was one of the Xenosaga games, where if you did a regular steal it was a coin flip of common or rare steal, and if you did a steal combo you just got the rare drop guaranteed

I like Final Fantasy X's steal command being able to one hit kill machina cause it removed a part they needed to function. Rikku just loving ripping carburettors out mid battle.

Stealing in Disgaea rules because you're grabbing the stuff they're using. Enemy is holding an axe? Steal it off them. Now they're unarmed.

I feel like stealing is implemented very well in Crystal Project and both Octopath games. It's no coincidence that those games are all very open about your chance of success. Kudos to Crystal Project in particular for having a NPC that will sell you stuff you missed from boss steals.

stealing in phantom brave was neat because you could yoink an enemy's weapon and then either keep it or use it as a medium to summon a unit. it was difficult, but you could even do it to the penultimate boss' giant anime sword.

that's basically just The Way to grind up units in phantom brave even. it's so efficient if you can manage to succeed that all other forms of grinding stop mattering in the face of just going into a procgen dungeon and picking up a level 104929 bush

I swear there is something about the starts of Trails games that really make it hard to get into. This happened to me in CS1 and 2 as well and now Zero. Once I get "into" it I basically binge the games until I'm done but for some reason the first handful of hours in these games are just so drat slow...

Hard time believing that’ll happen though. What kinda silly poo poo can you get up to in Octopath II with stealing? In battle, specifically? Stealing from NPCs is awesome, but I’ve been conditioned to think of battle stealing as bad in most games save the rare secret item here or there.

claw game handjob posted:I was just presuming that was the case prior to the Paladin upgrade because I chocoboed my way to the island with all the silver gear, especially since Cecil hits for so, so much less now. the key here is once you get to the moon, everything's a super boss that you will need to grind for, find specific equipment for, and have the right party composition and strategy for my complaint is that I wish they had any interest in tuning anything up until the end of the game at all so it's not a siesta on your way there

Nothing too wild with Octopath stealing though it helps save money on consumables and materials if you do it often. What really helps is that you can spend BP to make the steal be guaranteed to work.

I liked in Bravely Default the first crystal boss was a split fire/ice one and you could steal an attack item from both that you could use on the other for massive damage That was fun

That’s the good poo poo! I really wish the other Bravely games would get ported to Switch. My eyes are too poor to play handheld, and BD2 really looked like it sucked rear end.

Bravely Default 2 wasn't bad, but it hurts for such a mid-tier game to be a sequel to Bravely Second.

Best stealing mechanic in a JRPG is the 3DS version of Elminage Gothic, where you can steal and equip weapons from enemies that are technically body parts. I have fond memories of stealing the teeth out of a vampire’s mouth, then equipping them and running around the dungeon biting enemies and level draining them.

Finally at a point in Bravely Default 1 where I feel strong relative to random encounters, only took [checks clock] 35 hours? Also I just spent half of my gold because I finally found a merchant with level 4 magic, who also happened to have a bunch of equipment upgrades
