A useful list of magick and technicks found in chests.Rotten Red Rod posted:AFAIK the only "missable" skills at the point you're at in the game are Sleep and Infuse in the Dreadnought Leviathan, and if you miss them there they spawn in the Sandsea instead, so it just delays you getting them.

 I actually did a side-fiesta for once! And it led to me beating FF12 for the first time! Good times.

I’m not gonna have time to finish it before the deadline, I’ve just got to the treaty blade, but it’s been fun going back to 12 - it’s still a fairly middle of the pack entry in the FF games for me but I do like a lot of the characters and the hunts in particular, I just wish the dungeons weren’t so dull

Was FF12 long? I didn't have time this month to even start it (which if you know me is a rarity for events), though I did write down my jobs before the page disappears so I could do it some other time (March maybe). In better news, I've been eagerly waiting for this one: https://twitter.com/FF5ForFutures/status/1762360093142888833 After this the only one I'm hoping for is FFIX I believe, and I think he hates that one even more than FF12 iirc so who knows.

it's easily doable in the time - I think the critical path isnt really all that long if you just power through - I just like to do all the hunts & optional espers and some of those can really bog you down, plus I just didn't have as much free time I was expecting this month

Yeah, I was doing all the hunts - and not really anything else - but gave up near the last section of the game and just went and finished it because otherwise trying to get it done was consuming practically all my free time this month. I think I was up to like 45-50 hours. vv Oh they're definitely the best part of the game, they just double the playtime. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Feb 27, 2024 |

FFXII hunts were my favorite part of the game tackling them as they became available instead of grinding. Really makes you focus on good gambits and utilize buffs/debuffs

I finished ff12 in less than two weeks, including a good chunk of optional content

I'll definitely see about fitting it in after I fix my computer then! Oh, Final Fantasy Legends II is up (I got Monster, Human, Robot, Monster. No Espers for me I guess). I watched a video about the differences in the NDS remake and they seem pretty significant, I'll probably just try the GB one this time. https://twitter.com/FF5ForFutures/status/1763217813219820003

I've played ffl2/saga 2 ds a half dozen times since i was a child and in each and every playthrough monster was complete deadweight, until this time. I got robot, monster and two espers and it's actually the espers that have been behind; i'm twelve hours in and i feel like i just now managed to turn the two of them around

I think you can opt out of the larger changes in the DS remake. You can turn down assistance from the muses, and never use the threads of fate that trigger combos. My memory is telling me that doing so also gets rid of the new bosses and harder final boss, but I can't seem to find a good source online to confirm it. It's a good remake, though.

   Our good friend is back!  Tips for Haniwa hunting: Secret monster encounter on the very last floor (with Arsenal), rather low drop of a unique sword called Seven. If you have a LVL5 Monster (or better yet two from each available special Meat, at least glitchless) I recommended using a monster calculator to get SlimeGod. Even if you have to leave to get easier meat (LVL5 never goes lower), you can actually save on the escalators. Other monsters' Flare is good if you're doing enough overall damage with the rest of the characters but P-Blast is almost as good (Mana x9 vs x10), isn't limited to 5 (it's 15) and on top of that you have Dissolve (also 15) which, while it can miss, often does good damage and then heals if you want to, say, try and heal after a Haniwa Flare if you have no other choice. On top of that SlimeGod has Surprise so you have a chance to get a free turn at the beginning (funny enough this works on bosses. A sidenote, I've never seen an Ambush with Haniwa). Lich is good too, the other Flare monster types might be more interesting (Titania for Cures?) but be aware since they have less max HP that they have a higher chance of being one-shot by Flare (everyone will get one shot by default by Seven unless it misses). Maybe Treant for Life x3 if you don't mind the Monster being useless besides? Isis has Flare 5 near the bottom of her list which is slightly better than the Masmune, use it after one Aegis cast (if you need it for Quake) and then the Heart as needed (usually after a Flare, I saw her naturally heal up to full I think once maybe so you probably don't want to sit on it). If you have a fast whip user you can also use Blitz Whip if you want (interrupt actually works on, like, everything, with a 60% chance if you beat the monster's turn and it doesn't miss), but Haniwa has 90 Agility so good luck. Oh, there is the self-only Speed Up item from Port Town which is actually pretty decent (I tested it, it can boost it over 99, just be careful of overflows), and you can even lower Haniwa's stats with some moves (I used Sand on it repeatedly to bring it's Agl down to 2 and then Blitzed it with a rather poor team once after I did the Seven thing)... but it seems kinda ridiculous to bother with! Oh! If you're totally sick of everything but you have a Monster, you can also just use Kusanagi's Critical and if you get a Mighty Blow (not even that rare) it'll instanty kill it. A little surprised that one worked but it actually does just give everything that's not actually a boss a weakness-like attack which may insta-kill them (I think, you can only get it at the end of the game really and it doesn't work on Arsenal during any point... I read Venus in the non-remake does have a weakness though so who knows, maybe it works on more if you glitch it or whatever) and at Str x8 besides.

Dragon Quest IV is up! https://twitter.com/FF5ForFutures/status/1774550150175994199 This one I've actually beaten 100% or close enough on the DS (same with V), so I'm unsure how much I'll put into it. Except for some difficulty and localization stuff people like the DS/mobile version for all it adds and fixes, and there's apparently even a patch for the DS version (a couple actually) that you can find that adds the Japanese-exclusive Party Chat which was bizarrely removed in localization.

 I tried the patch btw, the later one worked flawlessly. For this one a lot came rushing back to me (some bad!) but I actually overestimated how long it would take to do everything. Perhaps I was getting this one and DQV mixed up (no T'n'T board for instance)? Fast forward certainly helped, didn't have that luxury before. I enjoyed it although maybe not more than III? Maybe I'll regret saying that if I ever replay that one!

It's odd that there are no remasters of the early Dragon Quest games available on PC. That seems like a real missed opportunity.
