This is the best Final Fantasy. I will fight anyone who says otherwise. I only play Tetra Master a few times just so the tournament is less painful later on, but honestly Tetra Master is garbage. The numbers don't even matter. It's all random anyway. I do find it interesting that the cards have a sort of FF2 leveling system to them though. If you use them about a thousand times or something stupid, their numbers will go up a little bit. I've never been able to jump rope past 20. gently caress jump roping.

Arcade Rabbit posted:How exactly does filling out the card list glitch things? Is it a minor thing, or something kinda big? I think it's a game breaking thing, but no tester or player was ever crazy enough to do it, save for one. And it's not just filling it out. Your card master score is based on how many unique cards you have PLUS how many unique arrows you have on those cards. If you have all 100 cards with 100 unique arrow setups, your score becomes perfect, and your game starts glitching out.

Yeah, OFS did a level 1 run for the game. I've done a few level 1 runs, but only because if I play the game normally it just simply doesn't challenge me anymore. I NEED to do stupid poo poo like level 1 and Excalibur II runs in order to make things in the game pose as obstacles to overcome.

I think the worst part about limits is that Garnet's is useless most of the time. It does literally nothing until about halfway through disc 2, and then most of disc 3 Garnet is mostly dead weight anyway.

Squalitude posted:I guess that's the successful steals? And does that bandit skill mean that you can even get the rare steals really easily? Not REALLY easily, but more easily. There's another skill way late in the game that makes stealing even easier, but by then if you're getting everything you'll be decked out in poo poo that's mostly better than what you can steal by that point.

I've actually found Quina's Frog grinding the worst and most time consuming one. I've never gotten Frog Drop to deal 9999 damage until Disc 4, whereas by doing regular steals and fighting in that area where you're 75+% likely to run into a Grand Dragon, am usually able to max out Thievery and Dragon's Crest by early-to-mid Disc 3.

zfleeman posted:This may be too far ahead, but I just finished disk 1, and Beatrix's stealable Mythril Sword had me loading my save state over and over again until I looked up the odds and I just had to say gently caress it. Way too frustrating. I am curious, though. How much does Bandit (or whatever the steal+ ability is called) raise the odds of getting a rare? That steal is completely not worth it because it's buyable in literally the next town. Bandit doesn't raise the odds, it just makes it so that it doesn't try to steal from slots you've already stolen from. That ultra rare steal still has a less than half percent chance of being stolen, but at least the game doesn't try to take an item from a slot you've already stolen from. That said, there IS a late-game ability that DOES raise the steal percentage, but if you've been getting everything through The Best Minigame Ever, you pretty much don't need it. kalonZombie fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Are you also going to show off fighting the beastie in the shop? It's a loving rough fight, but it becomes way easier when you get the blood sword from turning in all your Stellazo coins you've been collecting, which you should barely have enough of if you've been collecting them all, and equipping it to absorb all the damage it deals to you. If I remember the reward is actually worth it for this point in the game.

Stealing rare stuff from bosses is basically useless, especially if you keep up with Chocobo Hot and Cold. There's an ability later that makes the hassle disappear entirely, but it's really late game and the stuff you'd be stealing with it is no better than the stuff you get by getting that ability. If it's a happy accident, great, but unless some insane low-level strats rely on the rare steals, it's not worth sitting there and trying to get the fairy flute from Hilgigaris.

Level 1 runs are a good way for when you are like me and have beaten the game roughly 20 times and know it so well nothing really challenges you anymore. Granted I've never gone past disc 1 on a level 1 challenge before giving up, but I've entertained the thought a few times because there's only so many times you can play FF9 before it becomes apparent that nothing can stand in your way of the foreknowledge you have.

If you keep up with Chocobo Hot and Cold, this is the point where the game just rolls on its back and shows its belly in submission. EDIT: One time I was at a Gamestop, and I saw the art book for FF9. I asked my mom if I could get it. She said it was a waste of her money and I should get the book that tells you how to beat the game instead. I still have yet to forgive her for this.

FUN FACT: The four Guardians are very explicitly inspired by the four Elemental Fiends from the first game. Earth Guardian is Lich, Wind is a one-headed Tiamat, Fire is a two-armed Kary / Marilith, and Sir-Not-Appearing-In-This-Game looks like Kraken's nerdy little brother. Less obvious, though, is Tahakra is supposed to be based off the first Final Fantasy's final boss, Chaos. If you squint and tilt your head you can kinda see it.

Glazius posted:The most terrifying thing is that this has all been tried before but it didn't work. Not this exact thing though. Garland used a more forceful method in order to speed the process up, which is the way it didn't work. Also, Terra HAS done this before. Garland says that Terra survives by absorbing planet after planet. My theory is that Terra always used the forceful method, but when it tried it with Gaia it didn't work for some reason. So plan B, which had never been used before and is still going underway, a slower, gentler absorption.

Sometimes the secret boss decides to be the most challenging boss in the game. Sometimes it is a pushover. It's never in the middle ground though.

Also, I forget where it is, but it's heavily implied that Dagger is actually 17, not 16, and that if Kuja had known that fact the game would have never happened and he would have won.
