Did u do too a video whats wrong with the game atm to many limit banner etc. or u like it how it is now?

Looks like a good mix to me. Still two heavy hitters, decent healers with good MP, stronger healing and more offense incoming, and putting Ashlynn ( I keep wanting to call her Barbara because that's her original Japanese name, which I got used to from my own translation journey and from fan translations prior to the first official English translation ) in a fast master job with interesting abilities and a really good stage 2 job. You get the "level 1" abilities of your new job as soon as you complete your first battle after class change. Equipment in this one is character based rather than job based. That means you have to be a little careful if you decide to make a flip to the mage-oriented characters in strength jobs. They'll still be restricted in what equipment they can use, so they can't serve as meat shields as well as the naturally martial characters can, or hit as hard. The martial characters become really effective healers because they're much harder to kill, though. Job leveling in this one is independent of experience. Any battle where the monsters aren't weak gives you one job point. So a metal slime is the same as any other critter ( or even worthless once you're strong enough for them to be classed as "weak" ) with regards to your job. Brutus only has 50% sap resistance, but Brick and Brock were 100%. The sap resistance in this one is weird.

I'm still waiting on Lightning Sephiroth phys, and MH rerun for Lightning Tifa magic. I wanted some bahamut great sword for OB6, but I have enough weapon parts to do that job. What can you do with gear vouchers if you already have the gear? Probably nothing great. I got my eyes set on the half anniversary. Sephiroth could use some exploit.

This is what I am afraid of. They releasing exploit on cloud with a p attack all or m atk all r ability. I want the cloud baha outfit but I will be so pissed if they power creep me so bad lol. Now if 1.5 anni sends an arcanum I will hate it cause I don’t like limited arcanums (other than tifa’s new year)

Fullheal could indeed be a game-changer. Gotta love it when the final blow is basically a mage or priest whacking them with a switch. LOL He keeps doing physical attacks the do minimal damage vs. your Kabuff like that, and this could go well. Victory! You got some really good RNG on his attack pattern. As if anybody believed this was the end, despite the difficulty of the boss battle. LOL People to talk to, and more importantly, new classes to extract abilities from! There's basically no reason to stay in your base class in this game. The basic start is typically Hero = Warrior, Carver = Martial Artist, and everyone else priests or mages. Dancers and thieves have some really useful abilities, though. Dancers master fast, so that can be a good start for someone like Millie, who already has some healing abilities. You can hardly go wrong with any choice that keeps you a couple of attackers and a couple of characters that have decent MP and some healing spells, though. Right now, you want to concentrate the Hero and Carver on strength-based jobs and everyone else on magic/special ability jobs, because that's what suits their base stats best. If you're going to leave Barb in the wagon for the time being, setting her up for priest so she learns healing spells while you travel isn't a bad idea. Reverse if you put Nev in the wagon. Have him learn mage abilities. If you decide to do any grinding for money or levels rather than abilities, it can't hurt to put everyone on priest for a while to get them the better healing spells. ( or any healing spells, as in the case of Carver ) I've always mastered every available class by the end of the game myself. LOL

This banner really is a bit of a miss and skip. :( For a crossover, for her Rebirth outfit .. the more I think on it, the more irritated I get about it. It should not have been this way.

Dagnabbit, Carver! You couldn't have come out with that critical against the urn one round earlier? Fire claw is a huge boost for Carver and has a free AOE attack like the Cautery Sword. Options are always good. Oh, and it does additional fire damage. Nice. And the fire can jump targets if the original dies from the physical damage. Damn, I don't remember it being that good. Knuckle Sandwich will always do more damage, but now with the fire claw, I think you're going to do more damage over the long haul with regular attacks. Unfortunately, Murdaw is still immune to sap. He has lost his elemental resistance, though. That means the fire claw and regular attacks is absolutely the way to go with Carver for long haul damage. I'm fairly certain Knuckle Sandwich can't crit either, and Carver crits a lot with normal attacks. If you can escape a round of healing with Millie and Nevan, elemental spells should do a little more damage as well. No character learns Insulatle naturally, and you can't class change until after you defeat Murdaw, so no help there. The Hero doesn't naturally learn any stronger healing spells either. Carver has all his naturally learned abilities already. Nevan gets tingle at 17, which can reverse sleep/paralysis. He also gets fullheal at 19, but that's a lot of grinding. Forbearance is a possible emergency strategy, because it causes Carver to take all the damage meant for everyone else. It will probably kill him at this point, but it could be a means of having time to bring everyone else's health up. A lucky Zing and a single attack in the follow-up round from Murdaw could put you back in the fight. It's basically an endurance ( and no small amount of luck ) fight. You have to hope for single attack rounds from Murdaw, blinding flash attacks that miss the hero and Carver, luck with them when they are blinded, and not too many double AOE rounds that require all-hands healing. Dropping a few Amor Seco into Carver's inventory can let him help with that when you're desperately low.

your on auto but the LB's are not going off.. how does that work?

Huge boost + AOE option as well. Cautery swords are almost always awesome right when you can first obtain them. Prudent use of the Staff of Ghent = pretty much unrestricted dungeon exploration, plus you've still got all the herbs to fall back on. Double-up sacrifices defense to do extra damage, which is why Carver was getting slammed so hard. ( In addition to the full sap on everyone ) Knuckle Sandwich can miss, but doesn't lose the DEF. That's undoubtedly a tough fight. It's the antagonist you've been chasing the whole story, so they're going to make you struggle. Looked it up, and damn, he does have 100% sap resistance. I don't remember this many bosses having full sap resistance.

Notice that the programming is smart enough now to target paralyzed or otherwise incapacitated enemies in a group last. I believe when characters are on AI, they'll switch to enemies that aren't incapacitated, and they'll also choose enemies that are guarding only when there's not an unguarded target available. Little improvements, slowly getting there. Yep, there it is choosing unguarded enemies in a group with those Grim Grinners! Looked it up, and there were only 4 treasures in the Underkeep. I know you got three, and the last was a seed of magic. Nice roundabout way of finding the information as well, since I didn't remember the name of the dungeon. Had to look up Somnia to find the name of the dungeon. LOL And as soon as I finish that, you open your Zoom list, and it's right there. *facepalm* At least if you decide you want to grab the seed, you can Zoom there. If you're going to grind anyway, that could be an option.

Fortunately, Rotton Cottons aren't quite the murder machines the earlier puffballs were. Yes, I got that reference Kronk ;) Ashlynn = powerful mage. Inn and save feels like a very good idea. Pretty sure there's something coming up, and not sure you're going to have an opportunity after you trigger it. But, it's been a long time since I played this. Just an event. So many of those involve battles that I wasn't sure. LOL

I really like aerith but this banner is Nonsens only for skin mabye easy skip and the weapon is poor too

This weapon looks cool for a space outfit or a marine one....kind of a mismatch. Not everything should pull. This weapon fits the bill

The Swordsman just can't handle being low on Ice resist, and I presume, Water as well. Aerith's Terra's Rod does that work so fast

S+ Thanks

While I like some of the questing. I think the main story is the more interesting part of the game.

I miss my D&D days. Still have boxes and boxes of books, minis, old character folders, dice, etc. Couldn't afford TSR stuff when I started, so I made up my own rules and world that worked off six-sided dice. Eventually adapted to polyhedral dice and converted official material to work within my world. Good ol' Monty Haul campaign balanced by NPCs who had access to the same kind of magical might. Nothing like an adorable puffball that's a murder machine, eh? Only in a JRPG can you realize you're making progress and have to reverse course because of it. LOL Quite the roundabout journey to get the mirror, eh?

I've played through the first part of the remake but not Rebirth yet.

What do I need to raise to do insanely damage with my weapons that have magic on them like the masusame do you have a vids on that

hello i see this dungeon locked, how do you unlock it?

Poison Moth Knife = Paralysis chance, and crit chance, which can beat the multi-attack of the whip. Just depends on how many groups you're encountering and how strong they are. Not quite as involved as increasing your style just yet. You've seen the solution already. Yep, the noble garb is it. The guy said all you needed was some fancy duds to fool everyone. No matter what you choose, it will be wrong. The sister's name is chosen from one of the options you don't pick. The amor essence is a genuine healing item that I think is a little stronger than the herbs. Here is one of the few places you can get it from what I remember. The trigger to advance is not really well telegraphed there. Got it, though.

Thought I'd give this a look. No interest in playing it because of FFs severe lean into active combat, but watching a blind run example is always better at demonstrating the game than when someone has researched. It's a gorgeous game. I know nothing about music, so that piano would be completely wasted on me. LOL Neat that they do the credit sequence during active gameplay rather than in a cutscene. "Look at this view" is how I felt playing DQ8 for the first time, and 11 is the same way. There's no denying how good the FF games look. I just never could get into the combat in anything past 9. It feels like the storyline is far better explained in this version. The original was so opaque that I've got to be honest in saying the story was all but lost on me. I was micromanaging my materia and such, getting obsessed with chocobo breeding, etc. An enjoyable introduction to the game.

Yep, a new mimic-type enemy. I thought they started in 7, but I guess I was mistaken. Yeah, the AI still isn't the greatest here. Still can be useful for when you're traveling or on first excursions into dungeons. Healers being able to heal in response to damage that happens during the round can be a lifesaver. Playing around with the tactics can make AI characters a little better. Once they have a fair number of no-MP abilities, setting them to Use No MP can let them use free abilities without burning resources, for example. I feel like it's really helpful in DQ11 and DQ3 HD 2D - especially for grinding. You always want to control your characters for boss battles, though. The switch to initiative-based turns where you choose your action on your turn rather than choosing everyone's action at the beginning of the round is incredibly nice when they get to it. ( In 8 I believe ) It's hard to go back to the old version of turn-based once you've enjoyed that bliss. Anytime you're playing in 2d in 11 ( which includes some bonus content accessible throughout the game in 3d mode. But you can also play the entire game in 2d if you wish ) you're stuck with the old turn-based style and you really feel the lack of control you have over the flow of battle. I didn't get much past this in my first foray in Japanese. The sudden blast of new text to translate in the dream world - especially with abilities and equipment - really slowed me down. Then Final Fantasy VII and Castlevania Symphony of the Night came out, and I never really picked this one up again. By the time I got done with both of those, all my slowly accumulated memory of the language had faded, making everything take even longer than it had. One HUGE difference between the PS and DS versions of 7 that I forgot to mention is that in the PS version you retain all of the abilities you pick up from human classes after a class change. ( like you do in this one, and in most DQ games with class change ) In the DS version, you lose access to any human class abilities you'd picked up when you class change. Oddly enough, you retain any abilities you pick up from class changing to a monster class. You have to utilize monster classes in the DS version to pick up some critical spells like multiheal when in a class that doesn't have them. That's something else to consider when choosing between the two versions. You either have to do some grinding monster classes or be more careful about balancing your party in the 3DS version, where you have full access to multi-classing in the PS version.

Looks like they did a great job so far.

The single ticket pulls were so bold.

They sort of fool you a little with how many dungeons were hidden on standard forest tiles in earlier games. That and the little jog north necessary to get to the "west" forest was kinda a dick move. Hang onto those Pretty Betsy's. You may need to dump them on one character for a side quest later, and save-scumming them for max boosts from each could be helpful as well. Probably want to upgrade Carver's equipment a little before venturing into a new area. Then again, you're sort of carrying him with those extra levels you picked up. I think you can search the hanging bags in this one. There's one in Carver's parents' house next to the bookshelf to give a check when you have a chance. It's a thing off and on in the series whether those are searchable. Class-changing in this one is of a lot more use than in 3. There's more than just Sage as a promotion class, and the abilities are really useful on some of them. One is also a class where style actually matters with reference to combat. Well worth exploring extensively once you have access to Alltrades Abbey. You maintain all abilities you've gained once you change jobs as well. Keep a balanced party, and rotate their roles whenever you change jobs. You can either go for a path that matches their stats, or turn everyone into jack *and* master of all trades. ( The way I almost always end up going LOL )

Just a note, you wouldn’t use the Matt weapon in Shiva Ramuh since you’d want to reduce water and fire resist in that fight.

ty for the video, i logged in and got coins and had no idea what was happening

I don't think I ever played the mini games either. I don't think I ever even brought up the screen, because this doesn't look remotely familiar. Ouch... Lost half your gold stash too. Shoulda bought that boomerang. LOL Style should always be your last priority. It's a very occasion specific, and to a lesser extent, class specific. You'll know when you need to crank up your style. Otherwise, stick with battle-beneficial equipment. This is the first game that uses style. It ( and the abilities that sometimes replace it ) becomes much more important in later games. It's a critical stat for some characters in 8 and 11, for example. Still haven't caught up to where I eventually got to after months and months of translation. I'll let you know when you get to where I made it in my first foray in Japanese not long after the game released.

I think you can shop in your home village once you've talked to the Mayor. Style actually has a purpose for some sidequests, and a few abilities. Nothing that will hurt you for quite some time, so don't be afraid to sacrifice it for other stats that are more useful to you in the moment. The abilities it's useful for will be pretty obvious, and the side quests are just as obvious. No worries about "Am I missing something because I'm not stylish enough?" Somewhere around here is where I got to the first couple of weeks or so when I was playing this in Japanese, translating one word at a time from a Japanese/English dictionary and hunting the manual for DQ3 SFC to find the Kanji, because it showed the Katakana in superscript above the Kanji. Literally scanning the manual, looking for the same character, and then translating the Katakana with the dictionary. That opening scene was at least the first several days of that. LOL I slowly began to remember some characters, and a few words like "iron" that came up often, so it sped up a little as time went on.

Congratulations on beating the game. I had fun watching the series.

They should cycle banners like they do weapon parts. I love TIFA, but I need rest. I'm so broke right now. Restarting the save

Well, the wrong dungeon diversion was at least good for some EXP and gold. Anything with that Archdemon appearance is usually extremely dangerous. Silverpithicus are usually more dangerous. They often have death magic, but I don't think they do in this one. Yep, low accuracy high crit rate is standard for hammers and to a lesser extent, axes. The Regale has basically the exact same protection as the Zenethian Armor against magic and breath weapons. Robe of Serenity has a lot of status protection, so it can be worth having for special situations where the status attacks are getting overwhelming. That's a significant defense upgrade for Madchen there, should be helpful. For 7 I would go 3DS. The play experience is better, the visuals are a lot better, and you can basically skip the bonus content if you wish. Most of it is optional and post-game. With 8, it's a tougher call. The visual and music experience is a lot better on the PS2 version. It's an absolutely beautiful game, and we got the symphonic soundtrack, where Japan originally only got the synthesized version. The quality of life from the alchemy pot being instant in the 3DS version alone makes it a tough call. It's incredibly tedious on the PS2. The bonus content on the 3DS version of 8 is simply exquisite, and I doubt I'd ever play the original again because of that. The two new playable characters... So awesome. If you're going to skip the bonus content though... It's really only the tedious alchemy pot that's a negative.

1 stamp and all blues.. is the most depressing thing in life

Lets goooo make Chicken Nuggets from the chocobo!

I got to the last guaranteed. I don't feel the need for reprieve for Aerith, but that's mostly cuz I'm broke and cannot pity the UW

Yeah, I was also hoping for more blues lol

i also pulled again, tried to get more aerith/tifa weapons, was in 3rd chocobo thing, didn't get any more copies but got a Tifa UW :O first one! Sorry about your luck :(

I actually like his party buff debuff extension a lot. Sure he’s a main buff/ debuffer, but there’s no way he can carry all the buffs and debuffs you need for standard difficult fights. Things like your AoE pdef/ mdef up on a team mate are now extended longer. Dps who self buff or imperil the enemy and don’t have room to stack their own buff debuff extension now get a boost from him. There have been so many times I wish I could get a buff on a dps to last a little bit longer and now they can.

I pulled 2 pages. Some character has a gimmick. Enfeeble might be Cid's. There are a lot of self buffs, so his costume provide some support.

If I was in your position deffo prioritise tifa and aerith. Once both costumes are secured I would get one copy (I went for one only) I think enfeeble is too good and you get a good subweapon

LOL, yeah, two Frighturns in a row is just plain wrong. Elfin Elixer drop - Nice! You should have enough now that you can actually use them if needed. Pretty good run to Ladja there. Pretty sure there's better equipment as well. May have missed an upgrade somewhere, but I think the daughter is still on Scale Shield. There's a significant upgrade for her in the silver shield. Then that armor for Iggy I mentioned. Probably of almost as much use to upgrade as to grind, and one may facilitate the other.

Your kids and your wife level up pretty fast once you acquire them, because they always start out so far behind. You only have to baby them for a short while, usually. Padfoot obviously not as effective here as in DQ3 HD 2D. It really cranks down the encounter rate in that game, and it doesn't really matter how strong the monsters are. I assume that's the case here as well, but it's not blocking as many encounters. Nope, not a club! Sage's Stone! Free multiheal in the house :) No, the items that reduce the effects of magic don't block your own spells like the reflecting items can. Yep, staff of resurrection is Zing rather than Kazing, so it sometimes fails. Tortoise looking enemies sometimes start the battle with Bounce already active. You didn't miss it being cast. There's some pretty nice armor for Iggy at that optional dungeon up the river west of Coburg. It has basically the same strength and resistances as the Zenethian Armor. Probably worth the side trip.

Power Shield = New name for Shield of Strength that casts Healmore on the person using it in battle, so if you have a bunch of extra money, it can be worth carrying one around even if you're equipped with a different one for magic/breath protection. Can't remember for sure whether you can use it only on yourself or other people as well in this one. Oooo! Zap and Boom in one battle. Nice! Time to get revenge one of the monsters that killed your father. The tombola prizes you haven't seen are Paxa Punch, Prayer Ring, and Golden Card. ( Reduces prices in all shops ) Not sure if it's called Golden Card or something else in this one, but that's what it does. Can't remember the reduction off the top of my head either, but it's a percentage which can be significant on expensive items. Something nagging at me that you may have to go back to the top and retrieve the grappling hook from the top of the tower in order to use it again. Hoping I'm wrong. Whew! I was wrong. LOL Eyes in place, orb obtained, dragon powered up, and ultimate mode of transportation obtained! Time to give Ladja his final comeuppance and...

Lightning + Magma gives her nice options. Stronger group with Lightning and all enemies with Magma. Adding Insulatle to your strategy against Bjorn will help with the breath attacks now that you have it. The Dew = Full party heal kind of like the sage's stone but single use. LOL Yep, you got the pun. Just need to power him up at the tower to turn him back into the Zenith Dragon.

Talk about luck o' the Irish there with the TnT track. LOL Happy Hat restores your MP by 1 with every step. Excellent for a caster-leaning character when you're exploring, or when you need a couple of MP to Evac/Zoom. That track is actually worth playing a little to check drawers, chests, etc. There are good prizes like Yggdrasil Leaves, Flame Shield, Flametang Boomerang, Dragon Shield. Yep, it's instructing you how to use minecarts for when you'll need to do it later. You know that if you hadn't made that long walk to check the track, there would have inevitably been a switch you should have flipped before boarding. Don't forget the Magma Staff. Madchen does so little physical damage most of the time that she'll probably beat it with the Magma Staff's battle ability even when the monsters have resistance. Staff of Salvation does indeed heal when used as an item in battle. Don't think any humans can equip it, but you can still use it from your inventory. Insulatle = Protection from breath attacks. The Gold Orb is the one you had at the beginning of the game that was taken from you when you were captured. LOL Forgot there was a whole cutscene explaining that.

Yep, dramatic improvement for the Miracle Sword. Always getting the healing makes it extremely good for this point in the game. Doubly so on the track here, where the monsters are underpowered. Had a ton of crap luck, and then a run of pure serendipity there! The next track has really good end prizes ( including another Miracle Sword ) and the prizes you find on treasure tiles are also really good. I can't remember for certain, but I believe the Diamond Achillics are a Deb exclusive weapon. Magma Staff, as always, is one of the better weapons for magically inclined characters like your daughter. Bang-family effect when used as an item in battle. I think it's Boom spell power in this one. Admirers are one of the critters that can drop mini medals, if you ever feel a need to farm them. Your next TnT track is in Spring. The clue about the dwarf to the north should lead you to it I believe.

My heart goes out to u friend.. i think majority of us had pretty bad rng.. the change to 1% drop rate was a bad move and the fomo was real to keep going deeper before half anni..

Yep, this is the marriage quest for his daughters, so you don't miss it by marrying Bianca, so long as you pop back in here. Another thing that I hope becomes the norm after DQ3 HD 2D is the Zoom list that includes virtually every location you step foot in. If that was in place, you would have been able to zoom to the shrine with the pot, because you stepped inside it earlier while looking for the way through the gate. That fight's not easy, but you had the basics down. Kabuff stacks at least once, and his physicals do the most damage, so keeping that doubled up helps a lot. You're also correct that the Zenethian Sword removes buffs. Exploring is never a bad idea though. As cool as the flying carpet is, there's an even crazier means of conveyance in your future. LOL Miracle Sword is rarely a bad choice, and when the damage increase is that much, it's really a no-brainer. There are monsters that drop mini medals in this game, so you can get everything even if you don't find all the hidden ones, so long as you're willing to grind. The building on the northern tip of the central continent is where you were held in slavery. The Maxi Medal actually can be used as a shield. Yep, the knick-knackery was more of a thing in Japan where you could actually find people to trade items with.

I gave up last year in February too and was the only time I have put money into this. It was the season pass and it to keep pulling on cowboy tifa. I am already 2 stamps shy of finishing page 4 but I cannot continue lol, odds are bad. My tifa is ob2 (ob4) with weapon parts. Aerith ob7 and pulled the uw 3 times!
