It's a shame you can't opt back into the world intel stuff again. Or if there is a way, I've not seen it. I didn't assess one of the guys in the Grasslands protorelic quests, and I guess this will just haunt my save forever.

I'm still at the start of Chapter 12, and I'm in a weird place mentally -- I still want to do all the minigames and new challenges they added, I really do. But a growing part of me wants this game to just loving end already. There's just too much video game here and I think they were better served by Remake's linearity forcing them to edit themselves.

I took a big break (like 2+ weeks) after hitting the beginning of chapter 12. I'm going to finally continue it soon. I think that helped with the fatigue.

I guarantee you that enemy is available in some coliseum bout somewhere, either in the Saucer or through Chadley.

I've often heard that people think the Zack one is harder than the Sephiroth one and I broadly agree but that's mostly because Sephiroth has magnify Barrier and Reraise. You'll often be getting infinite MP on both partners so avail of that liberally. Zack's fully combo'd High Braver is ludicrously powerful. Ironically I don't think Sephiroth has an equal to it but his triangle combos can increase stagger % and also make his fairly powerful ATB skills do a second hit which is nice. Also don't forget about Sephiroth's parries, they're fairly useful. Both characters get a tutorial VR when you unlock their missions, it's probably worth checking those out.

It’s a tricky balance. Especially for Odin, where I’m torn between just doing manawalls, or doing reraise, as spending too much time building ATB with seph can cause issues. With how I did the cloud/Zack Odin round it was basically a solo fight between cloud and Odin with Zack being there to occasionally heal or get grabbed. Also doesn’t help that the VR tutorial features extremely weak enemies so you can’t even get a real feel for how to them in legendary trials.

Gongaga Region Intel 2 challenge is whooping my rear end so badly no matter what party config I try. Every round of creatures after the first is a fuckin nightmare in its own way

It’s the duneworm and landworm combo I really can’t handle, two of them is awful, I cannot dodge the swallow attack at all, the only way I’ve ever found to not be eaten is Brumal Form and even that’s hard to pull off. Why am I making myself keep doing this side poo poo lol. (The answer is stubborn OCD)

E: got it drat that was brutal.

Just finished the main story last night.

Now looking to make the most cheesy broken build possible to blitz the postgame content.

Does anyone have a link to something or s list of what to equip and do to achieve this?

I'm 50/50 on doing the last of the mini games.

I got hit by that bug for the final quest that prevents me from completing it, despite meeting all the requirements. It seems like chapter select resets your progress on it too.

Like a surprising number of other fights (bosses included), the answer is Stop. For even more hilarity, use it during a stagger, and it'll also freeze the stagger bar in place as long as it's active.

You can check the assess screen to see how many times you can stop a given enemy before it becomes ineffective. Immune = 0, Greater Resistance = 1, Lesser Resistance = 2, otherwise 3.

That wolf in particular is a motherfucker because it appears as a side job monster in the Grasslands, before you have any real way of cheesing the fight. It just murders your entire party unless you turtle hard as soon as you see it start howling.

By the time it appears later you have better tools, but it shows up without warning and the PTSD has already been stablished.

Finished up the combat simulator. Using manawall with Seph was key.

Unfortunately I feel like my Pirate Jetsam quest is bugged. I'm setting at 23/24, and followed a video guide twice to check each location for jetsam and nothing. Is there no way to reset this quest? Not sure what to do.

Do you have 23 in your inventory? Did you use one on an accessory and not realize it? It gives you a message when you pick up the final one.

I used them for items with the last one at 5/6 jetsam. There should be enough to make all accessories.

Unless the accessory you've yet to craft is the Genji Gloves, I would just leave it. The other two Genji accessories are p much useless, and there's nothing locked behind reaching max crafting level - you don't get any new recipes, just a "Congrate, you done it"

No one left uncured.
I got you.
Tbh I'm pretty sad at how underwhelming the genji equips other than the glove are. To continue being honest I'm not sure of the purpose served by the damage cap at all in this game; it seems like there are a bunch of ludicrously powerful attacks that serve no purpose other than to be foiled by the cap, like it's just there to complicate decisions about how to attack. If those attacks are too powerful, nerf them, it's like, man, the damage cap should be implicit, not explicit. And if you're set on having it be a reflection of the cap in the OG, then seeing it should be a monumental achievement, not a continued inconvenience.
