[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

Quote:

Hmm, maybe they increased the prices/lowered the overall drop rate from the japanese version? Level up more if you need more money, because other than lookt and hunts, there aren't any other avenues for cash.

I just remembered that chocobo feathers "were" supposed to be REALLY expensive -in the jap version each one cost around 800 - 950 but in this english crap shait they only cost 430 ..... than the big tourtles in Gisa plains in the "hidden" area their shells cost 800 which Im quite impressed.

Ive got the golden amulet in the rabbit place ( you know Frans Ex villa ) and im trying to get my license full before I carry on to Mt. Bur Omisace.

( im killing those 19 flangs in henne mines and BLOODY HELL I get tons of lp lol )

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How ya doing, buddy?

So how do you thnk of Zeromus and the other espers before Chaos, are they easier?

may I ask what level were you on when you went to fight zeromus? cos I personally cannot believe that this summon is hard at all ... or any of them are - the only one I found "annoying" was the big fat green looking frog in rabanastre (waterway under lowtown ) cos you need to kill him quick cos your hp was dropping. well all depends in your level I assume :/ .

Quote:

How did you guys level up to 99?

I lived in Henne mines ( the second way to zodiac ) for days and days and days lol mind you I couldnt stop fighting there was so entertaining lol :-D

The other thing is I left most of the hunts until I got this bald guy pirate with him I did all of them .. well most of them. I found it alot easier specially the one were you have to do a mob hunt for the viera in balfonheim port and I had : ashe - basch - Fran - The bald guy + another rabbit girl lol I got it SO easy! n_n

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Quote:

Well since i don't have all that much left to do I suppose I wouldn't mind going on some more rare-loot hunts. I can't see it being any more infuriating then some of the loot needed to acquire the Torunsol! Even though it was well worth it obviously, I would still like the most powerful bow in the game. So I suppose I will just look at it as another challenge to overcome. Even if it is a frustrating loot to find this is one game in which I would be willing to spend all of the time to find the neccessary items! (BTW I just crossed the 135 hour mark!, the most I have put into a game in quite some time). The sad thing is, well I don't and am sure many people don't find it to be so, is that I am seriously contemplating starting the game over. One reason is so I can utilize Fran (there is just something about those ears huh? lol), and the second reason being getting the Zodiac Spear, which I missed due to the whole treasure chest fiasco. So we shall see. For now I think I will just level up and go hate-fuck Zodiark, god willing, as well as my secondary party haha

.

did you know that you can get the zodiac spear in henne mines but you have to "live" there in order to make it apear.... I tried it but I got REALLY bored mind you I was WAY ahead in the game level wise lol . im playing the english ver cos I missing sagitaria and this spear I wanna complete it 100% if I can

the game is good fun!

**********************

Metal Sphere: I too am going for the Z. Spear in the Henne Mines, the chest itself definitely exists. I got an Elixir from it the one time I've seen it.

**********************

I posted the video of some random chinesse player that got the Strongest halberd from henne AND doing the chest thingy .. Ill try to find it again that was AGES ago I dont know if is in this thread.

I was speaking idiomatically.

①リセット＆ロード手順

トレジャーが無いか別のトレジャーだったらリセットしてロードを繰り返す。
レベル上げもしたい場合は、アビスでチェインしよう。区間連結ラインB⇔第2期採掘現場を往復 する。


②特殊作業場を利用した3AC手順
　ゾディアーク討伐済で、ローブオブロード等も入手してレベルも上げたい人向け

特殊採掘抗にある欲しいアイテムのトレジャーと第2期採掘現場にある矛トレジャーを往復する。
ルートは、第2期採掘現場⇔区間連結ラインC⇔特殊作業場⇔特殊採掘抗と3エリアチェンジ。
効率UPのため「区間連結ラインC」はエスケープで進もう。

青い点のトレジャーが本命とされている場所です。
ちなみにこのトレジャー自体はたしかにレアポップっぽく
１０回リセットして１回出るか出ないかですかね・・・。
ちなみに現段階で拾えた物は6000Ｇぐらいｘ2とエリクサー・・・

で黄色い点と緑色の点のトレジャーは何かと言いますと、
セーブポイントから目標の青い点の途中にあるトレジャーなのですが
何度かこの辺を走り回っているときに法則を発見(・∀・)
黄色い点と緑色の点にあるトレジャーがポップしている場合は
100％（私的には）本命の青い点のトレジャーはポップしません。
なので黄色か緑色にトレジャーがあったら即リセットｗｗ
少しでも時間の節約になるかなと。

ちなみに黄色い点と緑色の点のトレジャーがなかったからといって
本命の青い点のトレジャーが出るわけではないのがヤラシスギ('A`)

マジで本命の青い点のトレジャーを出すだけでも大変なのに
そこからさらに抽選で最強の矛を引くのってダル過ぎだろこれｗ
さらにガセ情報だったら一番萎える・・・。
まーもうちょい頑張ってみますよ(；´Д`)

あーあと黄色い点と緑色の点にはラストエリクサーが高確率で出るので
これから強敵に挑む人には拾っといても損はないかも。

追記：３０分後
普通に青い点のトレジャーもランダムみたいｗｗ
緑色と黄色のトレジャーの有無に関わらず発見しました・・・。
さっきまでの５０回以上の統計はなんだったんだーーーただの偶然かいな(ﾉ∀

Any Japanesse in the house lol

ANOTHER JAp got excited and post it GET in english lol :

right im off to bed! see you all tomorrow

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Quote:

Wait the fuck up. If I'm reading that image with the multiple colored lines correctly, it's saying that if those two chests appear, the Zodiac Spear will be in the chest (or the chest will appear)?

yes - I manage to get the chest where the spear is supossed to be but I got 6000 money thing and according to the faqs I need to spend more time to get it in the 3rd turn. it is indeed a pain in the ass...

Quote:

I can only hope that there is a surefire way to obtaining the Zodiac Spear from the Mines. I don't feel like running to the treasure chest spawn site 1000 times.

been there done that lol but not much luck I will keep looking for more "info" about this later on - off to work ( on saturday :/ )

oh btw im on still of miriam

ah! but Ill be one of those who actually finished the game at 100% which is something that I like to do if I can.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I did it with FFVII - xenogears - FF9 - Wild arms 1 2 4 - but it took me ages lol so Im quite confident about this game too. fingers cross mind you I finshed all this games at least 5 times :/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzN_j...elated&search=

^about this video - I killed fafnir when I was in level 68/69 and he wasnt a problem at all BUT his damage attack was NEVER as high as the fight in the video @_@ - it probably took me at least 30- to 50 minutes to take him down and I wasnt even giving a damage of 9999 .__.?

my question will be HOW on earth do you get Reddas at level 99??? is that a cheat? o how? cos I dont have a clue

ta!!

EDIT :

another thing in the video the time is 98 hours? can you get all that in 98 hours? O_O

Jam it back in, in the dark.

He got his characters to Level 99 even BEFORE 98 hours of playtime - which means he went on a, what I call, "Power Trip" - probabaly auto-leveled at Overlooking Eternity in Nabudis Deadlands with those constant skellies spawning. You can also try "Power Tripping" in the Great Sphere just outside Ultima's save point where theres constant Forbidden spawning up and offer about 2000 EXP per kill.

he is indeed in that youtube video @_@ just look at the menu when he starts checking his equipement you can clearly see level 99 @_@

Quote:

Easy, use either the Auto-Leveling trick or the Deadlands trick and you'll be at level 99 by the time you get him

that explains it U_U'''' yawn...

have you noticed in this American version the rare monsters appear alot quicker than the jap one + the controllers are abit diferent like : Jap ver - action is "O" cancel is "X" and USA ver - action is "X" cancel is "O"

is there a way to change the controller configuration?

TA!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I found another place to make TONS of money and I MEAN TONS

forget golmore jungle and those silly panters what you really need is SERIOUS money + level + LP

today I reached Phon coast so I decided NOt to go straight to Arcadia yet cos I know that in arcadia and in Balfolheim port you can get really good equipement but not very cheap ones SO I decided to do some serious walking to Feywood just to do some fun leveling...anyway I got to Feywood - right to the south where the Save crystal is - I saved there and then I started killing those big chunky birds that ALWAYS do reflect so I started killing them and I managed to chain 19 doing those big birds ( cant remember the name sorry ) so I noticed that they give you 960 of exp 1 lp + they droop mirror armor or something like that + they drop white crystal or something ANd also they drop an item that cost 1200 :O so I tried to go back just before going to the save crystal is and back in again in the area where this big birds were and GUESS WHAT! they keep appearing!!1 so I chain 800 of this animals + I gOT MASSIVE amount of money !!! and I did use double LP so I got ALOT of money!!! LOL and im in level 64 .

if you dont quite understand I will film it if I can but THEY MONEY is THERE!

just to let you know

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

is this what you need to get Sagittarius? how accurate is it?

in order to get it you must complete mob hunt Fafnir first. to make it appear just kill all enemies from the last area where the big gate is- then exit that area and go back h should be waiting for you

So Far in this game, the only Monsters that gave me trouble was Chuulican (SP) Esper in th WaterWay (because of his Sap), Chaos (In Necrohol because of his magic field where you can not ATK and just use magic), and Fafnir who was a load to kill. Thats about it.

thats the big fat frog lol

edit : yes you must clear both areas : End of Will & Herois Ice plains

OMG question @_@

im off to Giruvegen

Most amazing jew boots

^ did you kill all the Tomatoes/mandragoras? those 5 little animals

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

just a quick question :

I remember that I DID make appear Dreadguard doing only 12 chains but for some strange reason is not appearing anymore is the english version diferent? what do you have to do?

ta!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

its been ages since the game has been released and no japanesse faq nor sites report such a thing no pics no nothing. that image that you show could be very fake. anyway when you equipe libra to see the status enemies libra does not show details of rare monters isnt it? if this a rare one WHY is it showing its hp?

I culd be wrong but I havent seen a thing about this "rare" chocobo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quote:

If you want, I can find him again and take a picture and post it and prove it

please do.

I just mentioned this to one of my Jap friends and he says that he hasnt see that thing ( chocobo ) at all . mind you we both played the Jap ver. but we havent seen such a thing.

as I say if you are one of those lucky ones please take a lil pic cos the chance to make it appear is just a joke (1 in 256 ) not even the Zodiac Spear in hennes @_@

Most amazing jew boots

dont bother mate ( I believe you ) My friend just found out that and IT IS indeed posible he is asking exactly how to do it.



god first Strongest Halberd now this bloody thing ( tries Jap ver once again )

LOL check this video ( chocobo fight )

http://blog63.fc2.com/n/noenergylife...0820210502.swf

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

another tip :

rare monsters dropping trophies will NOT appear unless you talk to the masterhunt and the tree bangas in phon coast first. ( just for the people who keeps pm me U_U )

I was speaking idiomatically.

The Zodiac Spear will then be in a chest in which spawns in the 2nd phase area. However, the chest only has small chance of appearing. And smaller chance of containing the Zodiac Spear.

To obtain this Zodiac Spear, you MUST have the Diamond Gauntlets equipped before opening the chest. It will NOT appear in the chest at all, without them equipped. If not equipped, you will only find gil."

THERE IS a 3rd way of getting it from the Crystal thingy my friend is trying to "translate" the whole faq lol





What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, his immune to magic flickers on and off. Whenever I use Bio, for some reason reflects back to me but the strange thing is, it will say "No Longer immune to magic." Some times I get a hit, sometimes I don't.

How the heck do you beat this MFer? I tried Scathe, but dude is immune to it.

what level are you on?

FELIPE NO

thats how you see it and you think is awsome but from how I see it Gambit is just completely pointless in this game / you dont need gambit to play it thru is not nesesary / is not something that you must use to play it better Gambit is basicaly an option I mean what is the point? is like Gambit = Auto-play mode and you do nothing but watch. THE game itself is Fantastic but Gambit is just a pointless option. I do not use gambits at all cos I dont feel in control of my characters making battles completely boring.

I dont dislike gambits I just think is pointless UNLESS you are cooking a pizza and you really need to watch it so it doesnt burn SO THEN TURN ON YOUR GAMBITS

I really enjoy pressing and choosing what I want to do by myself and active mode makes it alot interesting

because I think Gambit is pointless ( no useless ) doesnt mean I dont like the game. the game is by far the best yet.

btw is UK getting the collectors edition?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Quote:

I like the gambit system personally. That helped me out big time with healing mostly. Like someone mentioned earlier, you can concentrate on what you are doing without everytime thinking about other situation. For battle like Yazmiat, I cannot see anybody beating him without the Gambit situation.

I kicked his ass without gambits as omega . mind you took me ages /all in one go- cool fun

to get the stone sword do you really need diamond armlet?

How ya doing, buddy?

where is the easiest place to get zodiac escutcheon ? barheim Passage? or upper crystal? ....and do you need the diamond armelt equipped? ta!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
