CeallaSo posted:As soon as you have the ability to cast Blind. I don't recall whether the boss you fight when you use it has Blind (thus allowing you to Draw-Cast it) but if so, then yeah, the answer is ASAP. Thanks. I have Blind. I'm assuming that's its weakness? Cool I will use it after redoing the train.

I been playing through the Final Fantasy games of late, but want to go back to the first two again after not having beat them since the PS1 release. Problem is what the best version to play for these. I am leaning toward PS1 for FF1 since the GBA and on version were too easy. That said I am thinking the PSP version of 2.

Also, how many are you chaining up? I remember getting a pretty decent amount of damage out of them once I'd gotten the hang of chaining a shitton.

PS1 is probably the definitive version of FF1 since it’s the original with bug fixes and a new presentation without all the changes that make the GBA version easier. As for FF2, the newer the version, the less tedious it gets, and the easier it gets to break the game in half. And FF2 is like FF8 in that if you’re playing for the gameplay, the fun is really in breaking things as ridiculously as possible.

I did like FF2J when I played it back in the day. Then again I really love SaGa Frontier and Final Fantasy Legends 2.

FF2 does have a weird appeal to it once you understand the nuances of its mechanics. Beating yourself up for HP is actually a trap, Agility and Evasion are god stats, and you want to have one frontliner and two pure mages starting mid-game. Never wear heavy armor unless your evasion can take the penalty hit. Toad and Osmose are god-tier spells. Just all that will let you cheese the vast majority of encounters. If the game's pacing and the dungeon design weren't utter garbage it'd actually be close to a good game!

I've been using Ashe as the leader and was switching the other party members in and out to keep them all evenly leveled but somewhere around 50-55 Penelo/Balthier started getting ahead of Fran/Vaan because magic has been v useful in some of these later dungeons I like basch but it's one party member too many to manage and I don't really care about the jobs I gave him idk also i don't like his strange red jacket

Machinist is not great, it's true, but Monk is incredibly good and it's pretty weird to pick Basch out of everyone in this party as the weirdly dressed one

I always hated Basch's outfit. It looks like he's wearing a potholder and clothes that don't fit him. The clothes he stole off the dead guy in the Barheim Passage when you first got him would've been a big improvement.

Btw you can one hit kill the train boss in FFVIII through the use of a common item because basically every single FF game is legally obligated to have a boss you can chump with this trick.

Hey thread. Since this is the catch-all Square thread, the advice for Romancing Saga 2 is to read an online instruction manual if your version didn’t come with one and then to just wing it for the real SaGa experience, right?

The clothes he stole off the dead guy in the Barheim Passage when you first got him would've been a big improvement. For me it's the fact that he's naturally inclined towards heavy armor, but in reality will always be wearing shorts and gladiator sandals. His look just doesn't seem to mesh with his character at all. I bounced off the initial release of 12 hard a couple of times, but I've been absolutely loving TZA. Nearly to the end of the story now (just finished up at the Great Crystal), and I'm liking it enough that I'll probably continue to do a lot of the Hunts and other side stuff. The job system, and especially the dual-job change for the remaster, is a huge improvement over the original.

zedprime posted:Grinding out enc-half or enc+none is kind of meh. Just keep going through the game carding what you can to get a better variety of cards and you'll get enc skills naturally when you are tired of combat that you need to do to progress anyway. I don't recall there being a convenient, readily-available method to bring enemies to critical HP for carding, other than blowing several Demi spells every fight. Getting in normal random encounters and trying to card everything sounds really frustrating.

Scan is readily available to draw and cast and your own damage is usually reliable. When it isn't, who cares, you aren't playing a perfect no experience game so if you get some experience with the AP so what.

Getting in normal random encounters and trying to card everything sounds really frustrating. Quistis has Micro Missiles as part of her Blue Magic, which is Better Demi. It reduces enemy HP by 1/2, 3/4, 7/8ths or 15/16ths depending on her Crisis Level.
