I'm a horrible horrible scrub who burns out on every JRPG I play because I mess around with cheat codes first time through and get complacent with that.  Let's hope I can use this as an incentive to finally finish one.

Wouldn't Red Mage be worse than berserker in this case? It can't get new spells at all after world one, where a 'zerk can still get new weapons, and in this hypothetical team there are no other Mage classes for it to pass !Dualcast to. E: In the team Monk/X/Geo/Dragoon I mean

Fister Roboto posted:Doesn't !Dualcast give you white and black magic level 1-3 as well? I could have sworn that was the case. It does, but by the time you've unlocked it ~ara spells will be woefully obsolete. That said I see Katarani's point and it would still have a bit of utility.

Pieuvre posted:My first real problem was Garula, though - that ended up with everyone dead but Lenna, who had 2 HP left and Sap running when she finally killed it. That sure was... something... Heh, I had the same situation with Sandworm. Having my first three classes all be squishy mages kinda sucked (though I appreciated the capacity to nuke things)

I had a very similar team myself and I was able to kill the relevant part before Almagest went off, I didn't have to grind for HP. You may be able to manage the same. E: Specifically a thief (who I don't think I had chicken knifing iirc, just tossing elixirs) instead of a Zerk.

I always always always forget about the Exdeath fight and make Galuf a White Mage or some poo poo, it sucks. Except my (probably dumb) strategy for dealing with the seal guardians is to give my newly-grinded reflect rings a test run and get the fire/air guardians into panic mode. Exdeath's triple cast does as much damage to himself as to Galuf.

D_W posted:I just completed Fork Tower. How good are Holy and Flare when used with Spellblade? Should those be my go to when things are immune to Break? Flare blade outright increases damage instead of hitting a weakness, so it's the goto when the enemy doesn't have one. IIRC holy is "just" an ~aga spell blade for things weak to holy.

Kyrosiris posted:Yup. It is, in all ways, effectively like you cast that -aga yourself. Not all ways, a broken rod triggers rugwizard's reset. Finding that out at the top of the tower when rods were my main plan of attack was nice and fun.  E: VVVV Give the ninja mix, or with haste you should be able to use only two sing lockers, and buff up until you do damage. AlphaKretin fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Jul 8, 2015 |

E: ^^^ Mixes I think autohit, though it seems maybe not on iOS? The breath attacks depend on current HP.redreader posted:So far I have Knight, Mystic Knight and Ranger (but no ranger shard, lol). Is that a good party or a bad party? Mystic Knight and Ranger have murderous synergy, and I imagine knight could benefit from either other class's best abilities as well. There's a side path you can in the ship that includes an elevator up to where the map is, check all the side paths in that first metal room. E: VVV I don't know for sure but the form in which he's vulnerable is designed to be hilariously weak to everything so I wouldn't be surprised if the spell worked, and if not try break. You have to wait until it says "Powering up for Gigaflare!", though, use coral rings to survive until then (there's a free one in the room before the omega save point).

redreader posted:Ok. So my party is: Spell blade/Rapidfire is a given. IIRC spell blade does work with sword dance, though not the other dances. I guess the knight would also get Rapidfire? Enjoy hitting things. Thundaga blade Rapidfire murders omega if you can survive long enough but that's doubtful without any support classes. Not sure about shinryu

Mega64 posted:Finally finished my boss guide. It was sitting on Neo unfinished for a month maybe? Anyway, now I finally feel good recommending it. Still plan to add defenses and evasions at some point for convenience sake. This is a dumbass nitpick, but I checked after bringing it up on IRC way back when and Gogo's GBA name is indeed "Famed Mimic Gogo". Also there's a random status immunity list sitting outside the bottom of the table. E: But more importantly, thanks, this guide's a huge help.

I said come in! posted:I have never played Final Fantasy V before. I am going to make this weekend the first time I do that. Is the SNES version on an emulator okay? I was also thinking of getting the PSX port for Vita. The GBA version is the definitive one but really there's not much of a downside to playing the SNES version (apart from a different palette, missing out on The Best Translation, and some quality of life stuff, one blue magic isn't quite as overpowered, oh nooo). The PSX port has loading times and the shakiest translation of the three but if you feel better buying it I think that's the only option.
