Shows how melee attacks are busted in comparison to magic in this game. You can feel the difference even in the first stages of the game, but by late game, melee just shows no contest.
@@hajimenolagrin2149 Between Ryu as a Myrmidon, Peco as a godlike tank, Rei being a speed demon with a side of Weretiger power, and Garr just existing, there is NO shortage of melee power in this game.
who did you mentor her first with? i use mygas or i think thats his name...the wizard/sage guy at the beginning area...and i'm not really a nina hater, i just dont like using her as much as the other characters but i did use her a lot during the beginning during ryu's childhood...well you kind of had to anyway...but i know she can get really good but the same can be said for other characters if you have the right skills, masters, and equip. i think they all can be equal if you really wanted to.
There are a great many skills out there that you learn from masters and enemies. "Influence" if you use Rei through the game, is one of the most life-saving skills that you can learn from Goblin-boss. All you have to do is watch the enemy and that character will learn the ability.
I didn't even realize this Influence ability was one of the first "Taunt" and aggro mechanics to experience in a RPG before I got into MMORPGs this made me love the Influence skill even more. It can also be used to direct a character that has the Berserk effect. Put Garr under Berserk and have him wail on an enemy. You can also use it for your allies that are Confused to redirect their attacks from you to the enemy. Of course a good whack is only needed to bring them back. BoF 2 didn't let you do friendly fire but BoF 3 did and let you use it for special effects.
Ever tried focus X 3 and an 8-hit super combo? I don't know why super combo is so unpopular with a lot of breath of fire iii players but to not use it is sin.
But yeah Super Combo is boss, I think it's unpopular because it costs more than Shadowalk and it requires hitting buttons in order. But if you land a 9 or 10 hit combo with double focus and a few of Momo's "Might"s shoved in there then...sweet jesus. I once gave Garr super Combo for a playthrough and killed Elder of Brood in quite literally one hit. I think Ryu got a Myollnir in there and a reprisal before Garr hit him for something like 2700HP. I think he only had 3000 as it is. Mental move.
There is a box on your abilities cross, (attack, magic and so on) and the eye is the examine one. Watch the monster and when they do that special skill, you can learn it and you'll see a big "!" over their head. (I can't tell you all them because there are so many but influence is the more popular one with Goblin boss) It might not happen the first time, but keep trying and see what happens. With masters, for so many levels you upgrade with that specific master, you will learn an ability.
@MrFlexbuffchest Yah in general. In this BoF you can rig her though to be just deadly (fish head + magic form) but you remove any challenge in the game however Force gene does that as well :P
That took you a while ;) That multistrike against Rei was the make or break or the battle and you got damn lucky there lol. If he hadn't missed you twice, things might have turned out different because you didn't have any Ammonias left or enough AP for reviving =O
Made a few mistakes in your playing, but you pulled through in the end. I just recently downloaded the game (I own the game and a PSX, but neither work) and am playing through it again. I hadn't decided to do so until I watched your vidoes, so for that I thank you.
Nina is actually really good in this game, anyone who said that she is bad is because they are only thinking on Bosses, as most of them are tolerant against magic (bad design if you ask me). Against mobs, Nina is the best choice, when I don't have Nina in my party I always feel I go through dungeons in a slower pace. Technically almost every normal enemy has an elemental weakness that Nina can exploit, and then you have Mind Sword which obvious exists for her. Against bosses Nina can change to a support job, her speed is really a great help as she can even get double turns, she can do any healing with Cure (or items, as they are very cheap in this game, and she is faster than Momo), regen AP, cure status or use support magic/skills like Shield, War Shout, Barrier, Resist, etc. It is true that Nina's magic is kind of ineffective against some bosses, but is kind of irrelevant, because with the bosses you just need Ryu in Dragon Form and everyone else is just there as an extra anyway, of course you can get a super extra help with Rei's Weretiger, but even so you need influence and Nina's speed can help with that too. I don't find a Rei, Peco, or Garr doing better than Nina against mobs for instance. Because I am definitely NOT turning Rei into a Weretiger every random battle.
Peco is good against anything if you build them right, at least. Any of the characters is perfectly usable, though. Garr is probably the worst in the end-game.
@@Cyril86 Garr is good for being a meatshield to be put at the front to protect Nina from Berserkers while Nina herself does the DPS. Garr is essentially not very good against Final Bosses because his utility can only get him so far.
@@Cyril86 Garr in the end has the highest power and defense. Pecoros has the highest HP and best potential for stat growth. Near endgame attack power is pretty much king.
@@bizznick444joe7 More importantly than HP, Peco has by far the highest Reprisal rate in the game(50%), which turns Peco into a godlike counter-tank if you buff their Power. Garr does have good power and defense but I just find him inflexible and kinda boring.
@@Cyril86 I checked their base stats at max level before that's where I found Garr's endgame stats are the highest in power and defense probably from the gear he can equip. Peco stats are amazing no doubt he just can't equip the highest. I mean I just say this as someone that finished the game first time without using Peco leaving him at lvl 1. When I started minmax the game I leveled Peco up.
She's got status effecting spells which are life savers in the beginning but yah kinda suck towards the middle since they never really land on bosses. IMO she's just great! The last boss fight I've done (With the lame Fish things on the Black Ship) she was doing like a combined 600+ damage per turn...No one came close!
Ya I had some bad encounters with him doing that for me as well and it piss the crap out of me. I had to use up alot of ammonia to keep him on his feet.
If you raise dead Rei he auto becomes the weretiger and starts attacking anything that moves :P He can do a shitload of damage on Mikba though and Nina is horridly underrated.
Darn, and I thought this guys was easy. I was over leveled when I fought him. -.- I'll try with a lower level next time for a little bit of a challenge.
Ok fine sorry, so your just a Nina hater - fair enough :P She totally doesn't suck! She does the most pure and combined dpt (damage per turn) and can do some sick damage with Meditation combined with Enlighten and Int gear. Besides, peeps who complain about her hp/defense/melee simply are mentoring her too fast. I didn't mentor her till 16 and for me she's got some pretty nice defense and tolerable HP (112). But on the other hand if she had decent hp/defense/offense she'd be way overpowered.
spells that inflict status effects on enemies arent really worth using in this game...its better just to go all out on offense and defense spells and spells that increase your attack power...and yeah nina is good on the black ship boss since they are weak to lightning i think? the fish...i dont know i would think they are since they are water based or either that or fire but fire spells are weak and simoon becomes really weak by that point in the game.
I once did a playthrough of Ryu Nina and Momo as my party. My lvl 50 Nina had nearly 400AP and stupidly high intelligence. She was really fast too. She was doing 300 damage with myollnir on Myria as standard before any buffing it was pretty mental. I gave her Enlighten and Meditation, I combined the 2 and she literally took down that Manmo in the desert on her own...it was quite amusing. What Nina lacks in defence you can just buff her, and since your party IQ is so high all the buffing spells buff even more, Cast protect on her twice and she's as tough as Ryu.
magic attack doesn't hit him hard because all the elemental magic are 1/2 against mikuba. best choice is have ryu raise everybody's defense for 5 turns. other character heal rei and let weretiger do the job.
I mentored her at lvl 16 with yah Mygas. But you can mentor with Mygas pretty early on in the game which is a mistake. Actually if I were to start a game again I might even mentor her with Bunyan from lvl 10ish to 16ish then Mygas then Emetai then Deis then Emetai again. But yah all with equal balance.
hmm...well uh i dont suck at it like you needlessly and foolishly proclaim...been playng for about 10 fkn years..so yeah sue me lol but yeah no need to say that i suck, that's just starting shit for nothing, over a mere video game...it is just my opinion and really i dont like nina in bof3 because she only casts offensive spells and rei can already use the strongest spell, that lightning one. my party is rei, momo, and ryu...sometimes either garr or peco though and i do use nina sometimes so..
Rei can use Mjollnir, true, but he is not good with it, he barely does any damage with magic, you can't really compare Rei's Mjollnir with Nina's, the difference is abysmal. Obviously Nina's Mjollnir is stronger by a lot.
uh nina sucks, momo is a better caster with her enhancing spells and she can heal...actually i think nina sucks in all the breath of fire games except for maybe 4 because she can actually cure your characters...plus shes so slow, momo on the other hand is very fast and if you want to get technical peco is better as well if you train him with the right masters.
Nina is not slow, she is one of the fastest characters in the game with Rei. Momo is the one that is actually slow. Nina can also heal, with Items and Cure. Items are cheap and very common in this game, you will always have plenty of them, so there is no excuse to avoid using them. Also, because Nina is faster and can get double turns she is a better healer than Momo. Nina can also enhance the party with skills like Shield, Barrier, War Shout, etc, and again, because she is faster; thus she gains double turns, and she gets better AP gains per level than Momo, Nina is actually the better enhancer.
You were really bad, buff Ryu with might or focus twice, then use warrior and force gene or shadow and force gene. Use aura and it should deal 1000+ damage. Use influence to control Rei and he will be killed in no time.

i want play it in 10-20 years again... I LOVE IT.

There are actually many characters that can transform into monsters. Mikba is definitely a direct descendant from Infinity.

hey how do you get skills from ryu and nina?
howd u get the skills?
This was one of the hardest bosses to beat. He whipped my ass everyday for weeks.
Took me a few tries but I honestly think that the damn Dolphin is the hardest
Indeed he and the dolphin are the hardest imo
Ha!
Beat him first try!
how u get the skill called shadow walk
i stuck on this part and i lvl 27...lol i havent had the game that long and i stuck on this part
Whats the name of this battle theme ? I've been searching for it forever.
damn that tiger rei was dealing mad damage
watch the enemy? and how get skills from masters?
i finished this boss
and im up to Gaist
watch the enemy and what do i do? nothing?
where you get thieves knives?
What made you pick that dragon form? Use the force gene and that's all you need 😆
I kinda picked the Behemoth Dragon Form to beat him.
I just let Rei wail on him because of Weretiger until he finally does a friendly fire.

Resist is a good way to mitigate it for a while. But yeah she's made of paper.
T___T My Nina is so week. I thought that mandrake were awsome. DX Damn that gas plant place.
all man i love this game but i broke mines can i buy your from you please..............i really mean it i want to buy this game from you

Already had shadowwalk at that point of the game so didn't need dragon form
Um... yeah.
But you can't get the Force Gene before Mikba...
You get it in the underground plant and that's AFTER Mikba. :P
Nah i'm just as bad at it with a real controller.
Though yes i did play this playthrough with a keyboard.
I'd use Super Combo more but i suck at using it for some reason.

wha am i training too much i'm on lvl 25 and haven't grew up yet

omfg i used the flame behemoth and killed this guy realy fast with that claw atak in about 5 to 8 turns somthing like that
That boss wasn't really that hard my battle startegy was always Rei, Ryu, and Garr. Didn't care much for the others were useless really.
I HATE LUCKY STRIKE!
i think he is pretty easy .... i beat him without even dragon form.. just the were tiger.. :|

what? hahahahahahhahahah
