You know, it didn't start doing this until I requested mark information from Montblanc and then tried to go to the Giza plains. It always worked before.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Spoiler:
Ah, last night I got Zeromus, the Condemner. If you set your gambits up and have enough X-Potions, he shouldn't be able to kill you with his gravity spells (Piercing Graviga, etc..). Question: Anyone know what increases the chances of an Esper using their Technick? Adrammelech and Zeromus both always use theirs at the end of their stay, with Fran and Penelo respectively as their summoners. Belias has only done his once Spoiler:
Oh, almost forgot. For all those who want to set their Espers to certain characters but need some info, here's this: Zeromus' Gravity Well normal attack is based on the difference between his max and current HP. So Cobalt's decoy strategy would definitely work here to great benefit. Zeromus' Big Bang = Awesome What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

@Metal Sphere
Where can I get X-Potions and what are they doing? Filling up the whole HP? Which lvl are your characters? Certain Espers need some complicated conditions before it can trigger the end-attack which I find stupid and unnecessary confusing. Ultima for example uses her finish-move only when she AND the player have both critical HP levels which can be very hard to trigger. Most amazing jew boots

Chaos: FF Zeromus: FFIV Ex-Death: FFV Though, for some crazy reason Ex-Death was renamed Exodus for the NA release.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
X-Potions restore a big chunk of HP, more if you have the licenses that increase the amount restored by potions, even more if you the Pheasant Netsuke accessory. Vaan (Runeblade), Balthier (Save the Queen) and Penelo (Perseus Bow) are my main team and they're at 77. Basch, Fran and Ashe are at 62. The only reason this disparity exists is because I got lazy and didn't want to do the DeadBones crap for team #2. I was cheap with Zeromus though. X-Potions/Phoenix Downs on Gambits, Bubble Belts, buffed before the battle. Spoiler:
The Dark Lords that spawn endlessly, IMO, are much more of a menace. Zeromus is too if you don't keep an eye on your HP (unlike your gravity spells, his will kill you). The DLs spam Dark/Darkra/Darkga like the Deadbones spam the -ara spells. Hang in there and you'll win. No cheap-shit Death spells like Zalera. Edit:
Ditto for Adrammelech with Fran. Thanks for the heads up guys. Jam it back in, in the dark. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even.

I am currently on my way to the Darklor Laboratorys. I always thought that the potions licence was only for the standart (weak) potion. How much more do they heal? Like 10% with each licence?

Potion: 150 Hi-Potion: 600 X-Potion: 2400 This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
Speaking of getting summons...I FINALLY got Adrammelech last night. The book says its the easiest summon to get, and that worries me, because I had a hard time trying to get him. It took me four tries in a time frame of two weeks to get him. I finally got the magic 'Bubble' and the Bubble belts, so im sure that helped. I'm right now just doing Hunts while at the Phon Coast, but I think i'm gonna stop for a little and continue on in the story. I need better magic if im to fight bigger and badder hunts and summons.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
As far as I can tell, there's references to every single FF along with the copious Ivalice game refs too. FFV got the most out of all the numbered FFs though.
Game references:
How ya doing, buddy? |
About the FFIX reference in FFXII...
Spoiler:
I'm going to copy/paste what I posted yesterday because its still a problem for me, and it was apparently overlooked by you all. This is only for those who know about the Great Crystal in Giruvegan, not sure I should spoiler tag this but whatever: Spoiler:
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? Sig and ava made by me |

There are more Vagrant Story references. That even tie Vagrant Story to Ivalice.
I'll give you a clue: Old Valendian calender. They ofc don't say its the same Valendia as in VS but its easy to think so: Don't read this spoiler if you aren't past Giruvegan. Spoiler:
FELIPE NO |
I noticed the Valendia reference as well.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Oh oh oh! I made it to Archades! YAYYY!!
I dunno...I'm probably just abnormal, but the route from Nalbina to Archades wasn't horrible as people said it was. I wasn't bored anyway. The Phon Coast is so pretty!! Haha, the first boss in the Sochen Palace was awesome! It was a total pain, yes, but so cute and funny at the same time! Then I came to a large door further on and thought to myself, "you know...this is a large door. I bet there's a boss behind it. I should go all the back and save the game first." I never did go back to save though. I OPENED THE DOOR AND OH NO! A BOSS!! I thought maybe I'd lose miserably and have to start over, but NO! It was incredibly easy for me. Just a few curing now and then, but other than that, all I did was hack away with all three of my warriors :D No Espers, no Quickenings. Just straight out slicing and dicing. Boss fell like a brick. Archades is pretty! I stopped after doing that matching hame :D I can't wait to see what happens next! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'm almost there as well with my lvl 47 character. Everything storyrelated is a breeze by now but how is the boss Ahriman? I don't think that this will be any challenge for my team but I'm just curious.
@Vash There are certain accessories with which you can get rare items from the chests. Maybe you should try it with one of these? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Haha level 47??? My party was at level 35/36 when I beat Ahriman, and I did it with no sweat, or maybe I was just very lucky. All I did was have the team use their weapons (nothing fancy at all) and the boss' HP just went down like a hot knife through butter. It went down pretty fast for a boss, in my opinion.
The first boss fight was tougher for me. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

(All details from FFT, nothing to do with XII) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Mine was with Mateus. That little bitch with her filthy Elements was nasty...
Moogle died out??.....NOOO! I was speaking idiomatically. |
I beat that motherfucker Fafnir with a BAT. Godforsaken White Breath is ridiculously overpowered, and it sometimes hits you with Stop for great victory. Luckily my gambits took care of that stop issue, but this clown is insane. His rake attack does a good 1.2k+ with Protega+Shellga up and Maximillian on Ashe. Jesus, had I not put on Bubble Chains, I would've lost easily and this is with my secondary team at level 72.
Good thing is that you get Assassin's Arrows from that, so hurray for On Hit: KO effect for Penelo. Also: Spoiler:
Took down Deathgaze, easily one of the most annoying dragons (Fafnir has this guy beat though), since his Crushing Fangs or whatever seems to KO the target character on some random basis. Aside from Curse at the beginning, it was easy. The physical immunity for most of the fight might make it challenging for some folks, though. Going to try and beat Diabolos and Wild Malboro (Jesus Christ, at least it's not rank VII like Carrot). What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
I'm wondering how much it takes to call Zodiarc your own. The strongest of all Espers.
FELIPE NO |
Good Chocobo |
I just beat it at 45 hours. I decided to check out the final dungeon on a whim (not buying the best weapons and spells) and it was STILL a cakewalk. The final battles were embarrassing (although entertaining).
Despite my overall dissatisfaction with the story, the ending was satisfying. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
lol I'm have 44h and just arrived at Archadia. Probably because of all the leveling (lvl 48 by now) but when do I get the bubble magick and accessoire? Finally bought me some X-Potions but I want bubbles!!!
I just hope that they won't mess up story of XIII too... Jam it back in, in the dark. |
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Jesus that makes me wonder what I've been doing for so long. I'm over 90 hours and around level 60, but it didn't feel like I was leveling or grinding that much for items. I haven't even reached Archadia yet.
Guess it's the combined effort of filling the bestiary, mark hunts and the damn licence board. You don't need that high a rank to get Bubble to appear. I think it's 2 or 3 ranks below that. Riskbreaker I believe. How ya doing, buddy? Soldier: Prepare yourself, rebel scum!! Arngrim : (These slipshod soldiers think they can call me "rebel scum"?) |
Riskbreaker, huh? Coolness.
Most amazing jew boots |
@Xellos
With 90h still at lvl60? You must've solved a lot of sidequest but you cant mess with the stronger fights like that. Where can I acutally buy the bubble belt? I was speaking idiomatically. |
