Ciaphas posted:Man am I ever fuckin' smart. I guess Rods are pretty busted in this game, then, if they have their own categorizing Rods give you 185 base damage spells at a point where you otherwise only have 50 (or 75 with the other use of rods). So instead of hitting some nerd for a few hundred you hit him for like 3k of his 2k hp.

A single berserker is a solid addition to most teams, though there are a couple fights where you'll want to kill them off because of counter attacks. 2 isn't that bad, either. It's when you get 3 or 4 that things get ugly, so maybe don't do chaos risk for your first run but otherwise go hog wild.

Dr Pepper posted:The Sealed Temple bosses are pretty fun in my opinion due to them figuring that anybody doing them knows all the tricks and designed them accordingly. In a standard fiesta run the best party you could pull is Thief/Summoner/Beastmaster/Chemist but even then you'll probably regret not being able to negate Neo Shinryu's Almagest with a shield. Archeodemon is the first big bullshit point because you need to either get reflect on him or have a black mage or summoner to even have a chance. And reflect results in him killing one of your guys every time you attack. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Jun 6, 2016 |

KataraniSword posted:It's a fantastic concept marred by two things: One, every FF5 romhack ever is based on the Japanese Super Famicom version, which means that almost all of them are in moonrunes and thus incomprehensible if you don't have a FAQ like, right there. Ancient Cave has a translation, at least. Still has zero replay value once you figure out how to win, though.

As for legendary weapons, I'd go Assassin's Dagger, Rune Axe, Flame Lash and call it a day. If you really want come back for Excalibur and Magus Rod but they're not that important. I guess since you have a Berserker you can bump excalibur up in place of Assassin's Dagger now that I think about it

Bruceski posted:Lessee... Earth Hammer (Pyramid), Dancing Dagger (Moogle Forest), Thor Hammer (void castle I think), maybe Chicken Knife, Rune Axe (better than nothing)... Earth hammer is worse than the air knives it would be replacing in most cases, same with dancing. Thor Hammer is a rare steal form an enemy with a common steal at the complete rear end end of the void. So far I think it's gonna be rune axe + air knife, assassin dagger + air knife, and thief knife + air knife. Maybe replacing the thief knife with the one guaranteed thor hammer. Chicken knife is welded to my ninja's hands but might not work out with elixir duties.

 Did a couple goes one full berserk but it just wasn't happening so item bot and almagest/grand cross slayer. Lenna kept her knife to make good on that second part, the zerkers had plenty of offense anyway. I have a plan for Shinryu but I'm pretty sure I need to grind into the 70s to implement it and I don't feel like it right now. Might be a while before I do another chaosno750. Needed something close to 200 loving reflect knight kills to get my rings

 Run is finally over. Omega's impossible and I'm not gonna try but Shinryu can be brute forced with any tin can class and a ridiculous amount of grinding.  That's the setup. That's the first time shields have been in use since shortly after Karnak, when I ground out elixirs and abp in the ship graveyard world map room. I ended up grinding out a third ice shield and some more bone mail because this run went full retard. You only have to worry about evil eye, physicals and maelstrom + lightning. Team is level 67 so the berserkers could eat a physical and live. Could probably have gone fuller retard with thor hammers in the back row but I was hating myself enough as it is.  Mah deeps. She has berserk set since she's often the first to drop. Lennaninja was a great help in Ronka and early world 2 making GBS threads out scrolls and stayed in her spot on pure inertia.  Kitty!  Probably not doing another chaos no750 any time soon. Also probably not doing anything so stupid as to get Twintania's Titan Axe with a solo character who couldn't survive Gigaflare again.

Gortarius posted:I did this last year but I'm still not sure about all the rules and regulations. The completely casual experience is 750 (you only get powerful wizards except for not very powerful geomancer and dancer) but you might get stuck with white mage start. White mage start is basically impossible to kill but has gently caress all for damage. This is a Final Fantasy game, it's piss easy if you have even half a clue. If you do random or chaos you'll be assigned jobs that can be more than one from the same crystal. Only chaos can generate long term duplicates. In the early game you'll have duplicates because you stop using freelancers as soon as you can have a job to use.

Gortarius posted:Is there a single benefit for having a Berserker? They are slower than anyone else and miss most of their attacks. The fastest possible character only gets about 25% more actions than a berserker, but berserkers get better than 50% more damage. Knives work great on them when you aren't using death sickles or the rune axe, though there's a pretty drastic shortage of them later in the game. Accuracy is on the weapon and knives are both 100% accurate and ignore half the target's evasion. Between berserk's 50% attack bonus and axes ignoring 3/4 of enemy defense, they smash right through armored enemies.

Gortarius posted:Hmm. I don't know if it's the jobs I have but this is just so... boring. !animals is level based and really good from like 15-25 and then again at super overkill levels where a full heal pops up increasingly more often. Most of the effects are also magic based which rangers don't really have much of. The reason everyone likes ranger is that you get the best physical skill in the game when you master them. !Rapid Fire ignores evasion and defense while doing double damage split into 4 hits vs randomly selected targets. It also lets you avoid the flee chance on the chicken knife but still procs blind and death from the dark and killer bows.
