Avalerion posted:There’s something about a blue haired witch wanting to destroy the world but it deliberately takes a backseat to just loving around. Still better than ffta1 where Marche is the one destroying the world because he can’t bear to see his friends having fun. I hate this argument. He doesn't hate his friends and he doesn't want to "ruin their fun". Hanging out in a fantasy land is fine once in a while but trying to permanently run away from your real world problems is incredibly childish and I'm glad he forced everyone to live in reality because I have an intense disdain for people who try to run away from everything bad in their lives. It's no different than unplugging the computer on someone who has an MMO addiction. It's a good thing.

I remember FFTA2 having surprisingly good sidequest lines? Like House Bowen and the Flora questlines. I think Frimelda was pretty good too. What I really remember FFTA2 for is the Auction system and giving Vaan a shirt.

A surfing dog?! posted:I just wanted an excuse to post this since we're talking about FFTA stuff God I forgot about that weird rear end commercial. I miss wacky 90's game commercials. "Hello I'm Mewt. Feel free to call or I may become irritable." is like the most accurate plot description of the entire game though.

Best part of FFTA2 is you can literally rule the entire world if you play the auction system right.

No, the two best parts were Luso's reaction to the Moogle Rangers and his reaction to the Blue Mage in the tournament who boasted he was invincible because he had learned the powers of a whole bunch of monsters.

Like Umaro is the only yeti, I guess, but that's both absolutely part of the gag (you find the sasquatch) and also everyone reacts with surprise to his discovery and relationship with Mog.

Do you no longer have to pull for characters in this? I remember trying it before Opera Omnia awhile back and being stuck with mostly obscure characters was kinda a turnoff.

Put off all the fest content until this afternoon because I'm dumb, ended up having to leave behind the highest difficulty Weapon fights, the top two Zeromus fights, and the gil only raids.  Ah well, at least Zeromus is coming back with the rest of the superbosses again next fest, right?

iamsosmrt posted:I forgot to go back to do at least the Zeromus 220. What was the mystery anyway? It was a really cool gimmick fight. Basically you had a timer that started at 30 seconds, and if it reached 0 or 60s, you wiped. You had two extra targets that you could hit to reverse the timer, and Zeromus could also change the flow of time and even accelerate it. You also did more magic or physical damage the closer you were to 0 or 60 respectively. Once you deplete his HP bar, he heals himself and you lose the ability to reverse the timer, so you have a hard time limit to finish him off. You could also use Dr. Mog's RW pause the timer for a few seconds. to It was a lot of fun, definitely give it a shot on the next fest.

I blew my last 100 mythril on the FFT1 banner because I can't beat 4* Hades and it is the best holy banner in the foreseeable future. Montblanc BSB Montblanc LMR Dupe Ramza LMR1 Dupe Ramza BSB Those were my only dupes on the banner. I guess that was one way to throw my remaining mythril in the trash. Between terrible luck last fest and this I'm feeling burnt out.

It's the FFIX banner this week for me, my IX synergy is seriously rough so any of the USBs would help, especially Vivi or Zidane. (What're the odds I end up with two more Hamelins instead?) Edit: For V I have a very buff Krile and Galuf, but never had any luck pulling for Bartz, so I don't think the torment is in my near future. I like the look of the next event with Galuf and Greg's chains on the same banner, though. Ripley fucked around with this message at 12:12 on Jul 17, 2018 |

We had some goon/good clears with the recent fest and FFT torment. A lot of our Discord people beat the Fellstar 350 weapons for crystals and rosettas saving Jenova from their wrath. Parasol Waddle Dee and me mastered controlling time with ??? Zeromus grabbing that sweet music track. ETB and Beasteh smited ??? Cuchulainn with holy power and Beasteh even did it in less than 30 seconds getting all of the rewards. PWD is very close to a clear with his Marach-including team so we have more coming. Go us. Let’s see if we’ll get a clear for the FFV torment next. The challenge will be finding good non-Bartz damage and buffing.

I got Dorgan and Kelger ready - but Bartz with only his earth bsb. I’d be happy with clearing the first two fights, whale difficulty is w/e.

I forgot all but the easiest versions of the weapons and zeromus, oops. Elemental challenge thingy was easy until the bomb fight but Relm's BSB sorted them out in the end. Gonna use her more often, Last Stand is great. The one after that can gently caress off though. Guessing that one wants a chain or something.

if i remember correctly you can break the curada fight over your knee with the ninja magics that ignore resistances and it should be an easy mastery. i think the only one i didn't bother with mastering was the meltdown fight because it's a random chance whether or not the circumstances for mastery will come up as you're pounding him into the dirt with black magic.

If you don't immediately pound Kaiser Dragon into the dirt he'll rotate through every element without repeating. It's not hard at all to master.

 First ever full-clear of a Crystal Tower that wasn't a fest gimme or otherwise. Bahamut was the first one I worked on because I had heard the horror stories. I brute forced it with my shiny new Gilgamesh Chain, Setzer broke it in the face, and Elarra desperately tried to keep everyone alive. I don't know what I would have done without Regenga's effect keeping me healthy enough to reapply Hastegas when they were dispeled. Next I did Guardian with windchain, since the team involved one synergy member with Luneth. Pretty vanilla battle, Tornado was spooky but he was nearly dead by then. Tiamat Eliminator I did with standard knight stuff. Agrias carried Protect and Iris carried Haste for any single-target dispel countering. Otherwise, a dispel of my own to get rid of HIS Protect and we were fairly in the clear. Orlandowns. Dainslef I wasn't exactly prepared for. I should have had Garnet off-healing with Curaja instead of trying to build up to her chain with Bahamut. Y'shtola was there to provide Proshellga through her SSB, and Mog was dancing and hasting with his BSB. The battle ended with too much offense, and Garnet and Mog were both fallen before I could finish the job. This team needs some more work, I feel. I'm still happy though! Swimming in motes, and I need to spend some soon to get my lesser-power teams some goodness.

I really like the 260 Elmdor fight. There are a lot of moving parts, but that gives multiple ways to approach it and the feel of the fight shifts as you take out the pieces. It's a grind but it's an interesting grind, a lot of the 260 fights have felt more like rocket tag.

I thought I was set up pretty well for an earth run even before I pull a couple times for Bartz stuff. Bartz: USB, Earth BSB, LMR, LM1/2 Galuf: USB (finally time to shine!) Dorgann: USB and BSB Lenna: BSB2 My final slot is less obvious: Faris (Unique, BSB1) can debuff, Gilgamesh (BSB) can dispell and Exdaeth (USB) can heal and Meltdown. But then I read that Last Stand is basically a requirement...darn.
