Ibblebibble posted:I only just noticed that when you clear a mission for the first time you unlock an alternate version that has higher reqs but gives more rewards. Might try one out tomorrow. The sidequests seem to involve running through the missions in reverse, starting from just outside the boss area. At least that's how the demo side missions were.

Hard has different enemy placements and boss attack patterns, it isn't just bigger damage numbers.

Strong stuff I've found so far: -The Swayback ability is crazy good, instantly restores 75% poise plus a giant dodge with iframes. Combos well with the Counter buff that gives you extra MP and reduced poise loss from soul shield. -The Berserker buff adds 60% damage and stays on you if you switch to another class, seems to easily be the strongest buff in the game if you aren't relying on potions for healing. I need to test it in combination with the skill from Ronin that also buffs damage at the cost of taking more.

The story being completely disjointed and bizarre starts to make more sense once you realize the game is doing some Total Recall poo poo I'm not super optimistic that they'll stick the landing though

worms butthole guy posted:You can't absorb moves from Tiamat, atleast none that I noticed except for maybe one. But you're lucky to even have any break meter left TO soul shield since the game decides its okay to take it away while blocking while taking away health. You can absorb the wind, lightning, and poison shot moves -- as with any enemy, if a move has purple text you can steal it, and any move without red text can be shielded. The wind one is really good for cutting off heads. Anyway, stop blocking. Soul shield + counter + swayback means that every soul shield is a net positive for MP and break gauge, the rest is just being patient.

Ibblebibble posted:Yeah I probably shouldn't have stubbornly stuck to fists. Fists are pretty much the worst weapons for phase 2. Maybe I should have used RDM Blizzard 3 more, I mostly forgot that I had unlocked RDM spell charging. I think fists are bad for most bosses because you're not going to be able to keep the buff up during longer attack patterns, and you often don't have big enough windows to even get it to lvl 2. They're great for miniboss enemies though

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I haven't played Monk since the demo, but from what I remember what I did was use Resonance to tell the party members to "get in", the bosses seem to have pretty straightforward aggro tables and will target a companion if they've been doing more damage. The monk R2 buff is different than the fists buff you get from combos, which at lvl 2 gives the the massive charged R1 I actually wonder if the buff duration command from white mage affects the fists buff

Lotus Aura posted:I don't mind it so far, but the very minor bonuses you get from Master Points don't feel remotely worth the hassle of grinding out. It just being that and an equipment treadmill is fairly disappointing. It should at least have some unique content or something and not just "redo everything again but with bigger numbers". Speaking of which, can you respec/redistribute the master points whenever you want? I haven't been spending them out of fear of doing something irreversible. vvv thanks!

Sage is completely stupid with the 400% Black Mage affinity bonus and the MP Regen command, you become a self-sufficient MP battery who can just chain-cast Ultima. Nothing else I've tried (farming 300 Chaos) even comes close.

pretty soft girl posted:Anyone have any tips for consistently building max mp? I feel like I'm missing something about the system, a lot of my kills seem to come from straight hp damage so I'm not getting a lot of opportunity to burst enemies. I've mostly been messing around with red mage and tyrant with one handed sword and I'm not sure if I might need to swap either a class or a weapon type to better build things up. I can get some built up from the rdm trait that gives auto-bursts on kills from r1 r1 r1 r2, but it's not been a super reliable strategy. Trying to farm max mp through circle parries seems slow as well. Once I have myself built up to full max mp I can get the rdm gameplan of chain nuke - magic regen - get a burst - repeat going, but getting there is giving me some trouble Soul shield gives max mp, so you can just let enemies attack you and build it that way

SettingSun posted:Ultima is just good. Sage just gets to cast spells from complete safety and then fire a super nuke to end fights. Don't know how it holds up in CHAOS, especially since it's typically one of the later jobs to limit break, but it def got me over the finish line on Action. Sage stays good. Sage and Red Mage are S+ tier with 250% Cyclic Warrior and the Chaosbringer/Magic Recharge combo. You can also throw in Seal of Blood to make Ultima even more absurd, and always have it ready before fights since you have functionally infinite MP.

Calaveron posted:Is FFX the FF with the strongest art direction? I mean, you see a monster or spell effect divorced from any context and you can immediately tell it's from X just from how it looks Probably, but it's also dragged down by being peak Nomura. Seymour always looks incredibly stupid, for instance. VII has great environmental art direction, but that's mostly limited to Midgar, and some great character designs -- Sephiroth is an all-timer. I think IX is also really incredible. I can't stand the techno-magic aesthetic of XIII and its spinoffs, which sucks because that's basically become the Final Fantasy house style.

Motto posted:? I wouldn't say that applies to any of the succeeding mainline games. 14 and 16 are both classic fantasy throwbacks and while 15 has a mix that isn't expressed all that strongly imo, it's going for urban fantasy rather than futuristic. The main antagonists -- Niflheim in 15 and the Imperials in 14 -- both felt very close to 13 aesthetically.

Mandoric posted:I've been thinking about how some FFs tend to focus on a particular concept in their encounter design. FFXIII is all about using mechanics to stagger the enemy. Then, FFXV was about using mechanics to stagger the enemy. After that was FF7R, which is about using mechanics to stagger the enemy
