I leveled until I could kill her before she summoned her husband

Himu · « **Reply #121 on:** June 29, 2013, 03:26:10 PM »

I didn't even know you could do that before this run. I've ALWAYS fought the husband.

lv 11 appears to be too low to beat Magissa/Forza with 4 thieves... or maybe I really AM a huge pussy.

You are. Put them all in back row, chug potions and tough it out. What a bitch.

I got Thief on my first time.

I beat it just fine. http://i.imgur.com/HhjPI.jpg

I hope you get Berzerker next. Fucker.

I ground a couple more levels and beat them easy as shit. I hate having to do micro management of turns in these games, because I suck at it. So, my options are either a) get really good at it or b) grind until the content isn't as tough anymore. I'ma grind.

If I do get berserker, I *will* be buying my way out of it, because fuck that.

Summoner!

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #125 on:** June 29, 2013, 06:15:33 PM »

Naisu. I just finished the last of the World 3 sidequests before the Interdimensional Rift ... taking a break before staring down that relentless boss gauntlet

Himu · « **Reply #127 on:** June 29, 2013, 08:38:13 PM »

Yup. Summoner owns.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #128 on:** June 29, 2013, 09:13:03 PM »

Summoner is just ok if you don't seek out the special summon monsters. If you do though, then it becomes super OP imo. But I mean, I'm stuck with one of my dudes as a thief until the end of the game- fucking OF COURSE I'm gonna get all the monsters I can.

demi · « **Reply #129 on:** June 29, 2013, 09:23:46 PM »

Thief gets much better later on.

No Back Attacks, can see hidden passages and potholes (not necessary if using a guide, but still useful), can steal shit from enemies (especially Genji from Gilgamesh, assuming you get characters who can equip the shit).

Flee is great to just GTFO out of fights cause they are annoying

Otherwise just stick a sub-class on them (Summon is a good choice already) to help out.

My Thief is master of Meteor

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #131 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:23:37 PM »

Beastmaster $:-\$

demi · « **Reply #132 on:** June 29, 2013, 10:27:47 PM »

lol. Beastmaster is pretty shit, I couldnt have a good use for it my entire play. Except... casting Blue Magic.

Looks like everyone is a Summoner!

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #133 on:** June 30, 2013, 03:59:54 PM »

ouch, Beastmaster is really only good for teaching Blue Mages spells. Get ready to SUBCLASS SUMMONER and buy tons and tons and tons and tons of Ether.

I am rocking faces in the last dungeon, turns out Hastega x everyone casts Meteor = It's Super Effective!

demi · « **Reply #134 on:** June 30, 2013, 04:08:10 PM »

Beastmaster is good for grinding Shield Dragons in World 2 / 3 (preferably 2, since Exdeath Soul appears in World 3). You can use !Control and just have it kill itself.

2500 XP per person.

oh yeah - that'll get you through World 2 easy

What level are you? You got summoner for class 2, right? Just sylph her to death, it's what I did. (fire rods may also have played a part)

Himu · « **Reply #138 on:** June 30, 2013, 08:40:20 PM »

Mmmm, level 11. I'll go back and get her before I continue with fire crystal because I want to use her on Ifrit.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #139 on:** June 30, 2013, 08:42:22 PM »

? You get fire crystal before you get access to Ifrit. He's in the Ancient Library or whatever it is, and that's not accessible until after you beat the Fire Ship dungeon. Shiva still is really helpful for the Fire Ship boss, though, so I would do that for sure. Grind!

Himu · « **Reply #140 on:** June 30, 2013, 08:44:42 PM »

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm just gonna travel back. I really won't have to grind because just going through the desert and then through the forests and mountains and then taking the meteor portal takes a huge a effort every time I play. Always feels like a big grand journey for me, so I'll probably level up even more. haven't spammed summons in FF since I was a teen so I guess I just gotta relearn old habits for this FFV run.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #141 on:** June 30, 2013, 09:30:28 PM »

I made it to Exdeath

I'm like level 37

demi · « **Reply #142 on:** June 30, 2013, 09:31:58 PM »

That's pretty standard level. You'll be fine.

I beat it with my team at 30...

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #143 on:** July 01, 2013, 12:51:54 AM »

My heaviest hitter BY FAR was Bartz. He was a Dancer with Ninja dual-wielding subclass. He carried the Chicken Knife, and Dance doesn't trigger the 25% run penalty. He would hit for about 15k per turn, and thanks to Lamia Crown/Rainbow Dress/Red Slippers, would trigger Sword Dance about 2/3 of the time. BOOM. Meteor spam also helped.

My biggest problem was when Neo Exdeath used Almagest. I have no high HP skills so only my Ninja would survive with 200 HP. Keep your HP up!!

Grats. For some reason i cant get myself to replay the game. sigh.

Thats because you're spergalicious

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #147 on:** July 01, 2013, 12:30:14 PM »

so, now that I finished, I want to think about ways to help RK monetize this better next year... any thoughts?

I think he should try to get some sort of well known people to do streams, like five or so. And then figure out a way to weigh contributions so that they increase the person's chances of getting a particular job- $1 puts 1 thief chance into the drawing for wind crystal, etc etc.

Himu · « **Reply #149 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:08:33 PM »

I think it'd be cool if he got someone at S-E to join in. Crap shoot but it'd be neat.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #150 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:25:49 PM »

I think it would be cool to pay a dollar for extra "draws" at crystals. But I'm thinking of just paying my way to a particular party next year. Blue Mage / Berserker / Beastmaster / Chemist. Would be really different from my usual play styles.

demi · « **Reply #151 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:35:43 PM »

I'd like it if there were other games you could do this similar style of gameplay with.

FFV seems really, really balanced in regards to this, so I'm not sure any other job based games have this flexibility.

Himu · « **Reply #152 on:** July 01, 2013, 01:49:44 PM »

I was thinking X-2, but the reason FFV's 4 job fiesta is so fun is because you each successive job in gulps. In FFX-2 you get a whole bunch throughout the game.

And games like FFX: International, FFXII: International, don't let you change jobs once you've chosen at the beginning of the game.

Seems FFV is tailor made for this kinda thing.
