I'm playing the Fiend Arena in X-2, unlocked Standard CUp: Hard, and they really put a Rukh in that tournament? Really? You must be joking, right? :gonk: That guy's way too strong to be in an early game cup.

Well, discovered that Telekinesis makes life so much easier in the arena :v: Rukh is everything proof, except for that. It's wonderful against everything but Oversouled fiends it looks like.

Those two don't show up until you've cleared that cup a few times. Once they do though they become INCREDIBLY obnoxious, as they outclass everything else in the cup, so you'll need to fight them pretty much every single time. Plus they take ages to defeat unless you are already super-leveled.

An even later cup includes goddamn Trema. If you can beat him consistently though, you can farm that cup to get many Iron Dukes and Keys to Success.

It seems like the extra tough monsters and super bosses in X-2 are a bit more intimidating than the Monster Arena and Penance in X.

I feel like Nomura's worst Final Fantasy design is often overlooked because of the long shadow cast by Dirge of Cerberus.



This dude owns. Even Shalua and DARKNESS guy (the two most extreme examples that leap to mind) have okay elements when you take them in isolation - the labcoat, the bodysuit, whatever. There isn't anything about Nooj that's remotely acceptable.

His Fiend arena fight is unacceptable :mad:

Oof, they droped the blitzball with Blitzball in FFX-2. Injuries are okay, if they didn't overdo it, and have it happen every time your player gets tackled. Another 9-10 game injury. Yippie I'm out of players.

I miss the leveling up in blitzball from FFX. Training in FFX-2 is an insane grind, and I don't know how to manipulate the biorhythm thing to properly train my guys so I can get the good blitzball prizes. Stuff like catch, pass, attack, and shooting tends to stay at a really low number.

I've played this game almost to perfect completion (which in this case is really just maxing all jobs, collecting all memories, because Dimensions doesn't have a lot to keep players interested in 100% it) and I'm drawing a total blank on this. Which team is it, or if you're past where the teams reform, which jobs are you using on what people?

It's where you get the dark knight to be a temporary part of your Warriors of Darkness party. I've gotten to the point where he joins the battle. Problem is he misses his attacks, a lot, but that's something that's been normal throughout the game. I've found Precision Shot to be the best skill so far, and am grinding to get all my characters to get it. Unfortunately the dark knight that joins up doesn't have it.

I finally took that guy down after leveling to 35. That area was the first time I felt I was a bit over my head in the game. I might have been a bit over leveled in other sections of the game so far, but with the encounter rate the way it is, it's kind of hard not to be over leveled. Oh well, onward! :v:

I hope that they're not really expecting me to feel any pity for the Avalon Empire at any point in Dimensions. With all the enemies that use Whack, Thwack, and Body Slam, I say, kill them all, repeatedly.

Through some form of Stockholm Syndrome I would have been slightly disappointed. The first time I ever did it took like 2 or 3 hours, but now I can reliably do it in an hour of swearing at birds. For all the swearing at birds I come out at the end of the hour with a slightly fuzzy memory and some sort of feeling related to enjoyment.

Thinking about it, Stockholm Syndrome, a slightly fuzzy memory, and some sort of feeling related to enjoyment describes a lot of my favorite Final Fantasy experiences.

My experience with that dumb mini game: *doo doo doo* ah I am doing good with the balloons yaaaay *chocobo jumps in front of bird despite not being near a invisible boundary* gently caress YOU

FFX-2 is fun but I'd say it easily has the hardest superbosses in the series. Although I hear there's a monster combo that trivializes them.

FFX-2 is about half the things you're fighting knocking your party down to 1 HP.

It would have saved everyone a lot of trouble in the first game if they asked Lucil to hit Sin with her Heartless Strike attack and then finishing Sin off by throwing a rock at it.

Between having to hope for proper balloon placement and hoping the chocobo itself wouldn't screw with you near the end, I'd rather do the lightning dodging minigame blindfolded.

I've wanted to try to 100% FFX-2 because I'm nuts. I unlocked the Farplane Cup and set some pretty good monsters in there to try to fight Trema, just to see what I can expect at the end of Via Infinito.

Trying to go through Last Mission, just for completion purposes. Physical attack increases seem really rare when leveling. I usually get magic increases despite having both physical training and a wristband equipped.

This game is kind of why I don't particularly care for the 'random mystery dungeon' thing. It seems like this game tries to quadruple the bullshit from Nethack.

Yeah that areas a bit of an rear end in a top hat, because if I remember correctly the jobs you've gotten to that point (only Ranger, yes?) aren't great, but if you're like me you want to use it anyway because new job, and it only makes it worse on yourself. Thankfully Dancer is even worse! IIRC, the only reason you level these two jobs up is for the F-Abilities they make it possible to make, which are extremely potent.

What is a reliable way to learn f-abilities anyway? I can look up what abilities I need, it's just a matter of them taking about, say, 100-125 battles before I can learn them.
