I, on the other hand didn't really see any points in using more than three characters during the main storyline. I mean unless you really like all characters and want to use them all, what's the point?
I didn't see any reason to act differently in this game than in previous FFs as far as this is concerned. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Well I guess its also important because, certain characters have abilities that shine or are better at higher levels. I dont know about this game in particular since everything is so customizable...but take FFIX for instance. Amarant was a character I really did not care for at all at first, but I finally decided to use him, and WOW...he turned out to be one of my favorites, his skills at high levels were incredible, same with his trance.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Especially early on, it's easily better to use only three as you'll want to get enough LP to unlock all three quickenings. The value of the MP boost you get from that is really hard to overestimate. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Heh, I haven't used Penelo at all this playthrough since I got her (despite her being my main gunner 1st time). I do have a main party (Fran, Balthier, Ashe) and never really touched the other characters. So they're at ~20, and my party is at 43. Having had the golden amulets since the earliest possible to get them, every one of my characters has every augment unlocked, everyone has almost all the magic unlocked (except Fran, who has nearly all the Technick licenses), learned all the licenses for their two weapon lines and armor type... And I just left Mt. Bur-Omisace for Archades
So yeah, not much of a need to use everyone if you know what you're doing from the getgo. In my first playthrough I originally felt the need to level everyone the same, but again at ~level 20 I gave up and made an uberparty of my favourite characters. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
As I said, I would rather spend x hours on leveling three characters than x hours leveling all six. Thus ending up with three characters that are much stronger than the other three. Instead of having all six be somwhere inbetween. I don't suppose it really makes that much differance as far as how difficult things will be for you, it's just that doing it that way must save you from a lot of fuss and bother. FELIPE NO |

I don't even think leveling is that boring in Final Fantasy XII. Compared to other titles in the series, doing optional stuff such as sidequests, hunts and exploring seems to be a very important aspect of the game and I'm enjoying it.
Having all characters on a more or less equal level just came natural to me. I don't have favorite characters and the game is so wonderfully balanced that I didn't have the heart to neglect some characters in favor of others. Regardless of what Licences you earn first, there will always be party members with advantages over certain enemies. Take weapons with element effects for example. I pretty much kept to everybody's "default" main weapon, so switching party members according to the type of enemy you're fighting actually makes a lot of sense for me. P.S.: I just ordered that Bradygames guide for 15 Euros. I hope it's worth it. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Spoiler:
I'm going to try and steal Beastlord Horns... damn... Sagittarius Bow + Assassin's Arrows/Artemis Arrows + Cat-Ear Hood on Penelo is going rock something fierce. I found something interesting about Bows/Crossbows. The latter has a low base accuracy, while the former has its accuracy dropped in inclement weather. Bolts are status inflicting/ while arrrows are elemental. Bow damage is based on Str + Spd, Crossbow damage is based solely on Str. Oh, and the final Bow is stronger than the final crossbow.

And, in the guide anyways, Yiazmat looks badass still. I'll see for sure when I do the hunt Most amazing jew boots |
Edit: Damn, forgot to ask the right question. Where can I find Humbaba Mistant? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even.

He's in Nabudis behind the Door of Horrors, unlocked with the Medallion of Bravery. (Part of the sidequest for Chaos)

Does the dusty letter have something to do with it too? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
Yeah it does... I haven't done it myself, I'm just uh referring to the 2-page spread the guide has on it. There's a lot of text, it's big and complicated
FELIPE NO |
2 pages... most of it text? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |

Does the letter's directions assume your starting point is the house in Lowtown where you get the letter? The other one should be fairly easy to do. Thanks for the hints seanne. There's nowhere I can't reach. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |

I have the item to defeat the Earth Tyrant, but I'm holding off on it until later... because I wandered through the Westersand today and there was a sandstorm and Gnoma Entite in every single map I went through. So I'm afraid that if I beat him, the quantity of sandstorms would decrease drastically... Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I finally got to the room in the Great Crystal where I thought the Stone Sword would be...but it turned out to be empty...no treasure box...no enemies...I'm dumbfounded...but the GameFAQs map said that it was a treasure room...and it hasn't been wrong yet...I'm confused...does anyone have any idea?
