Ultimania looks like Ashe tends to mostly be 2 points ahead in the magic power stat in the intl one.

No, Penelo rocks, she can beat the game by herself!

plus everyone hates her so she is my party leader when I play

Eyes kept being down, so I made a map of floor 2 instead of 1 first, but no biggie. Is this readable?

The yellow rectangles are doors, red are walls you break, the blue+yellow numbers are where pots/chests are, and the grey+purple ones are how many of these black pearl things are needed to light the corner up. Oh, the green parts are the hidden rooms that don't show up on the map. Thanks!

I'm writing a guide for the International version of the game, and since there's no in-game map of that Great Crystal area, and the Subterra place sucks mega ass when you first go there, I made a map for both areas to include in the guide. Have all 3 maps now, just need to plop their names in the middle pretty much.

I guess it depends on what counts as 100%. I got all the new FINAL FANTASY weapons, but I have no idea how to fish and don't get stuff like the Tournesol.

no it's a pain in the ass. ascending isn't THAT bad, but bumbling around the lower levels is a total pain in the ass without a guide.

Without a guide? I did it fine without a guide.

Fucking awesome dungeon.

Can't you get a zodiac spear for sure in that area in the bog area inside the castle you reach later, with 12 chests lying around with one definitely being a zodiac spear as long as you don't open certain chests throughout the game? I never got it but I read that's a sure way to get it. Game doesn't need it anyway. Basch with the katana with buffers etc is all I needed. Never got Tournesol either, too much grindin, no cheevs.

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #73 on:** July 06, 2010, 02:47:37 AM »

Some of the loot for the Tournesol I guess is grindy. Have never had a need to get it, since I have better? weapons I think. Yeah, could get a Zodiac Spear at Nabudis if you didn't open a handful of chests early on. Can get it from a 1% pot in the Henne Mines too, and it's the same in the International one, except you can open any pot as the "easy" method is to get all the trophy hunts killed, or from a 1% pot at the Henne Mines:

The boss of the dungeon has the 2nd most powerful weapon in the whole game, and you are more likely to get it than the Zodiac Spear (plus any job can equip it), the Torango Tower or whatever it's been translated to:

Wow, I thought 1 hour on speed up mode was a long time for Yiazmat.

Yes you can get it that way, guaranteed find but come on: playing with a FAQ just to know which chests NOT to open?

This is the worst thing about japanese games. Obscure, hidden, missable stuff.

And Tournesol doesn't require any grinding at least it didn't in my case. Well maybe for 20 mins.

Yeah, that's why I never got it. I don't bother with faqs till late in jrpgs generally, when the post game shit goes down. I originally put ~120 hours into this game and never 100% it.

naff · « **Reply #76 on:** July 06, 2010, 09:46:58 AM »

Found a stack of save games on gamefaqs I can import to my PS3 (last save was lost when ps3 YLOD'd) will try find something reasonably close to where I left off, feels kinda lame as they'll probably have quite a perfectionist run through going on (I just played no perfectionism) but it'll be cool to go through and finish all the hunts I missed.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #82 on:** July 12, 2010, 05:05:24 PM »

Finally got a few hours in today, got up to looking for the sunstone before going to Garamsythe waterway. I beat the original game last year, so nothing very different yet. The game feels about 10 times better after playing the turd that is XIII. And FFXII moogles and chocobos are the best moogles and chocobos.

I went with Hunter for Vaan. I was reading a bit about jobs on the Gamefaqs board...do you get to pick a second job at some point? Or is it one job per character per playthrough?

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #83 on:** July 12, 2010, 05:48:58 PM »

1 job, like FF1.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #84 on:** July 12, 2010, 05:59:02 PM »

Does it ever evolve into anything else like FF1? that would be cool.

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #85 on:** July 12, 2010, 11:10:55 PM »

Not really I guess.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #86 on:** July 13, 2010, 02:14:54 PM »

I loved chapter 11 in XIII so much. I was thinking the whole time "wow, what if they made the entire game like this."

Now I remember they did: FFXII.

Not much, got another hour in.

Penelo is a white mage. Was going between red and white, but I figured she would make the best white mage.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #91 on:** July 15, 2010, 11:19:36 AM »

Balthier = Uhlan

Fran = Black Mage

I noticed that characters get to keep their initial equips, even if it's not on their license. So I'm leaving Fran with her first bow and arrow instead of the Oak Staff or whatever the first black mage weapon is. Her magic is already 3 times as strong as any phys attacks in my party at this point, so I don't really need any magic strength boost. I'm going to try to use a black mage more this time around, since I didn't use one last playthrough of vanilla FFXII. I think it was because I didn't feel like Libra-ing everything and adjusting gambits accordingly. Since I battle on Active mode, I don't have much time to mess around with that stuff and I definitely don't want to adjust gambits in each and every new fight. plus, phys + white magic was all I needed.

The job system was a pretty sweet idea.

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #92 on:** July 15, 2010, 06:16:15 PM »

When you get back to Rabanastre, you could try to get a Flame Staff for Fran. It has 34 attack power if you're interested.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #93 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:57:49 AM »

I am interested and I shall seek that thing out. stupid busy weekend, probably won't get to play more until next week. but I'm pretty much playing this game exclusively for the rest of the summer.

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #94 on:** July 16, 2010, 04:06:55 AM »

Ok, cool. Can also get the strongest weapon for a BM from the 25% point onward. My guide is "done" if you want to use it sometime. Still have to make fixes and add some stuff, but all the screencaps and that stuff is up. Just hollar.

Final Fantasy XII is one of my favourite games of last gen. I really need to try this version. Don't know if I can handle how addicted I will become though.

I'd love to use it, link me. I want to plan out my playthrough a bit. Right now, I'm thinking samurai for Basch, and maybe knight or red mage for Ashe. I wish there was some kind of generic character recruiting system, so I could use all the jobs in a playthrough...

What jobs did you use?

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #97 on:** July 16, 2010, 06:01:07 PM »

Here's the text version (still needs to be edited and fixed up though): http://redscarlet.paragonsigma.com/ff12i050510.SJS.TXT

And the screencaps mentioned are here right now: http://redscarlet.paragonsigma.com/12icaps001-328.zip

Guide says how to get that Flame Staff (search for "Dustia", and there's youtube vids about it, too).

I prefer going with a main group and a b-team. Main group is knight/red mage/samurai while b-team is white mage/time mage/breaker. That will probably change, since I don't seem to actually need breaker anymore (just use Reverse instead).
