The FFT exploration event was such an amazing boon for Esper leveling that I feel really bad for anyone who started after it and/or wish a future exploration event has similarly good returns.

I was just going to post this. I got literally all my espers to max just from doing that exploration for like..... 3 days. It was ludicrous

Does anyone know exactly how much these stat pots actually boost your stats? I want to toss them onto Cecil or ExDeath, but there is of course no UI confirmation of anything prior to fusion. I know what their max boosts are from the wiki, but I don't want to waste them by overstuffing anybody.

She becomes pretty good. Innate dualcast with green/white/black magic. So in theory she can Buff and/or heal and/or contribute to a chain 2 out of 3 in a turn. Doesn't have 6* stats obviously, but a solid addition to a team for sure.

Deleted a bunch of inactives and nongoons as well. Currently a 398 Mag Arc, but will be 6* ExDeath tomorrow (working on DW and 3x Letters and Arms as well, so he should be pretty beastly at some indeterminate amount of time in the future)

490,587,674

\/\/\/ - Well he still has built in Dualcast and all the -agas, so depending on how many ExDeaths and Kefkas you have (or if you're one of those people who doesn't want duplicate characters on your team), he definitely is great to plug holes in a mage team. Cecil, ExDeath, Kefka, Arc, Tellah is amazing for arena, even moreso when their 6*'s come out. Cecil, ExDeath, Kefka, Arc, Refia also an aces team. He is your best bet out of all your dudes listed below, except debatably for Krile, depending on what her Mag stat ends up being at 5*

Temptation has me wanting to dump cash so I can TM farm my 3 Ludmilles then run ExDeath x 2 + Rydia x 3 all with DC. Ten space rocks should be enough to kill stuff I think.

Only need 2 Rydias! Cecil with Focus provides a larger bonus to damage than the two extra castings (I think)

It seems the Water Shrine is capable of dropping every single type of Megacryst except fire (I got Ice, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Dark and Light). It doesn't have a great EXP/NRG ratio, but if you want the most versatility, this might be the place.
The only problem I can foresee is that the boss, Gespenst, is a Mahadeva palette swap and thus can present a legitimate threat.

Or you can just cast raise on it to kill it in one shot

I assume he thinks that you can't equip stuff in your OH if you're using a 2h weapon like a staff or spear. Surprise! You can.

I'd really like to see Square's original fully realized vision for FF9, because it feels like they had to cut a lot of content. Lani has her own (pretty badass) theme and character model, and gets played up like they're introducing some big new character, only to be such a non-entity, I can't even really remember what she does in the story, and I've played through the whole game multiple times.

She's a bounty hunter hired by Brahne along with Amarant to hunt down Garnet and Co to get the summon jewel thing back that's in Garnet's necklace. You encounter her three times during your journey to the outer continent, she's actually pretty persistent. The final time you see her she kidnaps Eiko and holds her for ransom for the jewel, which culminates in Amarant coming in and taking it and giving it back to you if you agree to fight him because he's butthurt that you got him arrested at the Auction House in Treno. I assume she would have stuck around after that, except in the immediate next dungeon Kuja fries Brahne with Bahamut and therefore her contract is null and she has no reason to keep following you around.

Do what I did and wait for a non lovely event that you can complete easily, (FFT in my case) and grind the mats for literally every character you have or want that will ever get to 6*. Now I never have to grind mats again! Unless I get someone I wasn't expecting. This event I just need to grind mats for Refia and Garland to replenish (and add to) my supply and I'm done, aside from gigantuars and such.

I meant one specific character cause there aren't many characters that would use L&A other than Exdeath. 30% mag is good for any mage just like bracers are good for any physical attacker.

Krile can use swords too, I'm sure there are other mages either out now, or coming out eventually that can use swords as well. Here's her with Enhancer

How often does the special friend point summon happen? The one that includes cactuars and gil snappers. I'm getting a lot of friend points saved up and I'm hoping for that to happen soon but I've only seen it once since I started playing. Is that a regular occurrence or just random?

It's random, it's happened twice since I started playing in July. Honestly though, after the second one I realized that you're actually better off just using them to get the few good TMs that friend point units offer (Aquan, Stone, and Dragon Killer, HP+10%, Sunbeam, maybe some more I'm forgetting). I burned all 99k FP and I think I got like... 8 gigantuars? All the other special units you get are basically useless (gil who cares, regular cactus who cares) and prevent you from getting more of the good TM units.

So, I guess I just try to get as many Trust Moogles as I can and accept the slow pace?

I thought the same thing when I started. "I'll never do that, that's crazy." Here I am 5 months in, macroing all night, because even with moogles it's completely impossible to get more than one like every 6 months any other way.

Edit: To help illustrate, I pulled Kefka and ExDeath the first day I started playing, and they have been on my team for practically every story dungeon, event, vortex mission, etc. They are at 9.8% and 11.2% respectively.

They all 999 anyway without Focus (except vs. Cecil and Refia but I can deal with that). I built my team so everyone's MAG and HP is consistent across the team so that everyone can hit 999.

But yea, I think I'll swap to Cecil just for his Cover since Exdeaths are made of paper. Putting Black Belt and Sleep Sword on him is nice too.

Chaining breaks the 999 barrier, you'll increase damage with each hit. The last one will likely hit for over 2k damage with focus.
