In my non #berserkerrisk run I ended up with Black Mage/Mystic Knight/Geomancer/Chemist. Geomancer isn't great, but I certainly have no room to complain.

Yeah, it's a great support ability for mages as it deals magic damage for no cost.

FF3 isn't objectively bad, in the same way FF2 or Mystic Quest are. You just need to approach it with a certain mindset, is all.

The mindset being that you're looking for an 8-bit JRPG from a famous franchise, and seeing things like the unbalanced class roster and being defenseless when running away as all part of the challenge. And having your airship shot down thirty seconds after you get it, because you flew over a certain part of the map.

Leading up to one of the worst non-optional bosses I've ever dealt with in a game. Jump, jump and hope you don't die :allears:

I've pretty much had blue magic on every single one of my characters other than the Berserker the whole game. Dark shock and level 5 death together are obscene. I wonder how many people get the chemist too and never have to actually fight anything legitimately.

My final lineup is Blue Mage/Thief/Beastmaster/Beastmaster. I just got the last job, and am not quite sure what to make of it; perhaps this will be a chance for me to actually use Catch and Release, instead of always using Control in conjunction with a Blue Mage.

Even though I'm totally doing that, too. :dance:

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Geomancer's starting to grow on me. Gale kinda sucks, wind slash hits everything for as much damage as fire/ice/lit 2 on a single target.

Just started and got to Worus. Started with Knight, so for just about everything I held down fast forward and turbo A.

My Water job? Berserker.

okay granted, I was Hard Mode with Berserker Risk so I knew it could happen and I knew I'd get at least one, but to get Berserker with 2-Handed? This should be fun. On to Karnak.

EDIT: Just got to Karnak, got my next job...

@Trasson_Catols can now use the Water Job 'Berserker'. HAHAHAHAHAHA

well then.

Haha! Ifrit was tough, but manageable. My strategy was simply to let my Berserker wail on him while my Monks Chakra'd up to full health, and punching when full.

Haven't played since yesterday morning, but I can't see any way around Byblos besides grinding. The main problems are getting decent healing and hitting hard and reliably enough to outdo whatever he can recover from Drain. I'm probably going to have to grind to beat him.

Getting Berserker with Water crystal on Hard Mode is a 1 in 11 chance.

Getting it with the Fire Crystal is a 1 in 16 chance

Then, finally, getting it with the Earth Crystal is a 1 in 20 chance

Congrats on winning the suffering lottery, I guess!

Pretty nice team! Dancer with dancing gear and spellblade, geomancer with healing and white mage for holy, mystic knight just owns. Nice.

I'm busy grinding up the 200000 Gil needed for four Flame Rings. The problem with an all-Berserker team is the lack of control, which really means healing. Three Berserkers and an X-Potion bot sounds like a much more solid plan for victory.

Edit: So uh, how do I get White Wind and all the other !control specific spells for Blue Mage without a Beastmaster? Am I seriously waiting until Dancing Dagger? I have no other source of confusion, I think. Black Mage/Ninja/Blue Mage/Knight.

Ugh.

I have a question about the five job fiesta, but it contains plot spoilers. in late world 1, when galuf leaves and your party is reduce to three members, what are you supposed to do? I have all four jobs now, can I just use whatever combo I want or do I have to wait to get the fourth party member back before I can use my earth crystal job?
