Final Fantasy Twelve

[OblivionKnight]

You know what I just realized?  I haven't ever made a Final Fantasy stat topic before.  So why the hell did I decide to do Final Fantasy 12, quite possible the most nightmarish one to do?  

I guess I just like pain.

Anyway, this topic is going to be fairly complete at some point.  I wanted to try to pull as many possible interpretations for the cast as possible...and I got many. There are many ways to take characters due to the License Board set-up: "scale" the starting licenses up (similar to the DDS2 Mantra Grid), or take them at baseline being the most common, and easiest to consider/fairest.  Other views include: scaling the characters based on Revenant Wings, providing the Job System stats for every class, and whatever else Meeple/Tonfa come up with >_>  The first two posts will include the more common DL views (also known as "Balthier Hype" and "Arbitrary Scaling" views), while other posts will (eventually) contain the other PC set-ups, temps, and bosses.

I'll list the specifics in the individual posts, as there is a lot that could be added here.  But, system basics:

FF12 uses an ATB system for combat.  It also utilizes ranges, distances, recovery times, lag times, and a lot of other odd mechanics which end up working reasonably well.  The game uses a subtractive defense system for everything from defense to magick defense to status defense, which can end up being pretty significant depending on the attack (think FF1 style).  The majority of the stats come from equipment (DEF, MDEF, EVA, MEVA, ATT) and skills (Augments, Quickenings, etc.) - character base stats, as you'll see, don't vary a huge amount.  

Each weapon class and type has a specific CT associated with it (all magick, for reference, has a CT of 30), and damage varies based on several stats (for example, swords are based entirely on ATT of the weapon and STR, while daggers are based off ATT, STR, and SPD).  These will be noted with the weapon class.  Weapons also have a chance to combo (i.e., multiple hits) that is added to the character's base chance to combo.  Note that guns, bows, measures, crossbows, rods, staves, and handbombs cannot combo, though the bows, measures, crossbows and guns can critical (the noted rate is in addition to the character base of 5%).  Note that weapons that can combo can still critical (2x damage), at a 5% rate per hit.  For instances of combo attacks:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit # | HP > 25% | 25%< HP <12.5% | 6.25%< HP <12.5% |  HP < 6.25%
------|----------|----------------|------------------|-------------------------
 2    | 40.0%    | 14.7%          |  1.4%            |    0%
 3    | 38.2%    | 30.8%          |  7.5%            |    0%
 4    | 16.6%    | 29.3%          | 17.5%            |  0.2%
 5    |  4.3%    | 16.7%          | 24.7%            |  1.2%
 6    |  0.8%    |  6.4%          | 23.3%            |  4.3%
------|----------|----------------|------------------|-------------------------
 7    |    0%    |  1.7%          | 15.3%            | 10.8%
 8    |    0%    |  0.3%          |  7.2%            | 19.2%
 9    |    0%    |    0%          |  2.4%            | 24.4%
 10   |    0%    |    0%          |  0.6%            | 21.7%
 11   |    0%    |    0%          |    0%            | 12.8%
------|----------|----------------|------------------|-------------------------
 12   |    0%    |    0%          |    0%            |  5.3%
------|----------|----------------|------------------|-------------------------    

Weapon combo rates are added to this after being multiplied by 0.7 (rounded up).  So, a weapon with a combo rating of 20% added to a character >25% HP would show a 54% chance of performing 2 hits.  This chart also holds true for bosses and non-PCs.

Character limit breaks in this game are handled a little bit differently.  Called Quickenings, every character has 3 that can be activated immediately as long as they have enough MP.  There are 3 "levels" of MP, with an additional MP pool gained after learning a Quickening, enabling a Quickening of that level (i.e., either 1, 2, or 3 pools of MP corresponding to a level 1, 2, or 3 Quickening).  The damage accrued during these is physical, and varies based on the level of Quickening performed.  The damage is also exceedingly random (to the point where using a single level 1 Quickening can conceivably deal more damage than using multiple level 3 Quickenings).  In addition, if a certain number of Quickenings of a certain level are performed, a Contingency will occur, which is basically extra damage added on to the Quickening chain.  I really don't intend to get numbers for these due to the randomness of the performing the Quickening (it's part skill, part speed, and all luck) and the randomness of the damage, but if you really ask nicely, I might try to.  I might also stab my eyes out with a clothespin, but I might get the damages as well!

Statuses, both positive and negative, play a large role in FF12 in-game.  All positive statuses except Berserk have a 100% hit rate; all other statuses have a hit rate equal to the base (Minimum is about 40%) + caster's MAG - target's VIT.  Duration of effects is similar: Base +/- a component of the character's VIT, with positive statuses lasting longer on higher VIT, and negative statuses lasting less time with higher VIT.  A list of statuses is as follows:

Positive Statuses
Haste: Boosts speed by 50%
Berserk: Boosts speed by 100%, boosts physical damage by 50%, seals all commands but the "Attack" command
Faith: Boosts magic effects by 30%
Bravery: Boosts physical damage by 30%
Protect: Reduces physical damage by 25%
Shell: Reduces magical damage by 25%
Regen: Recover an average of HP = 0.5*CLvl every 1.5 seconds (range = 1-CLvl HP recovered)
Invisibile: Will not be targeted by enemies that must visibly acquire targets
Bubble: Doubles MHP
Lure: All enemies will focus on the afflicted character
Reflect: Reflects most magic attacks back at user
Float: Prevents characters from being harmed by traps
Libra: Allows user to see traps and enemy stats

Negative Statuses
Slow: Lowers speed by 50%
Sap: Drains 10 HP each second
Poison: Drains 16% MHP every 12 seconds
Petrify: Counts down from 10 to 0; at 0, character is turned to stone; counts down 1 integer every 4.5 seconds
Stone: Character cannot act or be targeted
Doom: Counts down from 10 to 0; at 0, character dies; counts down 1 integer every 10 seconds
Blind: Physical accuracy drops by 50%
Oil: Triples fire damage received
Disease: Sets character MHP = CHP
Confuse: Character randomly attacks allies, including self; broken by physical damage
Sleep: Target cannot act; broken by damage of any sort; while asleep, target takes 50% more damage
Disable: Target cannot do anything except move
Immobilize: Target cannot move, but may still act
Silence: Seals magic casting abilities
X-Zone: Character is unavailable until the area is exited
Stop: Character is frozen and cannot do anything
Reverse: Reverse the effects of healing and damage on a character

Some statuses cannot be cast concomitantly.  If one already exists, casting the other status will do nothing.  These statuses are: Disease and Bubble, Doom and Petrify, Confuse and Berserk, Lure and Stop

All levels for this topic are taken at 60, and assume about 75% of the optional stuff is completed.  I figured this was pretty fair, and should be similar to what someone normally gets on their first playthrough.

This assumes that characters get only their starting licenses and nothing more.  For those who don't remember, here are the starting licenses for these characters.  Not that you could argue some plot equips (Treaty-Blade for Ashe, Manufacted Nethicite for Penelo, etc.), but these are not unique, so I'm not considering them:

Vaan: Steal, Light Armour 1, Small Swords, Accessories 1 (this is a plot license acquisition, where the game forcibly gives you the license as well as an accessory to use it with near the start of the game as an introduction to the system)

Penelo: Daggers 1, Light Armour 1, White Magick 1

Balthier: Steal, First Aid, Guns 1, Guns 2, Light Armour 1, Light Armour 2, Shields 1, Heavy Armour 1

Fran: White Magick 1, Black Magick 1, Steal, Bows 1, Bows 2, Heavy Armour 1, Light Armour 1, Light Armour 2, Shields

Basch: Accessories 3, Libra, Shields 1, Shields 2, Light Armour 1, Heavy Armour 1, Heavy Armour 2, Small Swords, Swords 1, Axes 1

Ashe: Accessories 2, Accessories 1, White Magick 1, White Magick 2, Mystic Armour 1, Shields 1, Light Armour 1, Heavy Armour 1, Heavy Armour 2, Shields 2, Swords 1, Swords 2

No real equipment options exist, so none are listed.  

Note that I still consider the augments in here - this doesn't change anything other than making the numbers look more like they do in-game, since everyone gets things equally.

These stats assume that the starting licenses noted above are scaled - i.e., if a character started with White Magick 1, they were allowed all White Magicks.  The same goes for all weapons and armour, though in all case, everything is limited to storebought items only (which includes all spells and the majority of the equipment in the game).  Note that I also considered augments, like above.  

For set-up references, a point of MAG should increase damage by ~5%.  The same goes for healing effects.

Equipment options, assuming you allow scaled up licenses (top one is assumed default weapon for characters that can equip it):

One-Handed Swords (STR-based: +1 STR = ~5% more damage)
Deathbringer: 90 ATT, 5 EVA, Inflicts Knock Out status 10% with each hit, 5% combo chance, 35 CT
Icebrand: 65 ATT, 5 EVA, Ice Element, 5% combo chance, 35 CT
Flametongue: 53 ATT, 5 EVA, Fire Element, 5% combo chace, 35 CT
Blood Sword: 41 ATT, 5 EVA, Inflicts Sap status 100% with each hit, 5% combo chace, 35 CT
Ancient Sword: 35 ATT, 5 EVA, Inflicts Petrify status 15% with each hit, 5% combo chace, 35 CT

Heavy Weapons (STR and VIT-based; randomly variable damage)
Golden Axe: 110 ATT, 6 EVA, 3% combo chance, 29 CT
Sledgehammer: 77 ATT, 2 EVA, Inflicts Disable status 20% with each hit, 7% combo chance, 32 CT

Daggers (STR and SPD-based; +1 STR = ~2% more damage; +1 SPD = ~1% more damage)
Zwill Crossblade: 73 ATT, 5 EVA, Wind element, 7% combo chance, 22 CT

[Meeplelard]

A few things to note:

-Fran's best damage seems to be Ardor w/ a Fire Boosting Bow This puts her at 6600 damage.
-Ashe's best damage comes from Holy w/ White Robe; this makes her do 7500 damage.

-One view I also want to propose is instead of just saying "Black Magic = LEARN ALL!" and such was actually "Learn extensions of those spells only."  This view isn't worth making another post for, however, so I'll just note significant changes here:

Penelo and Ashe would merely get the full Cure series, and possibly the other status healing spells, but not stuff like Protect or Holy.  Actually, in Ashe's Case, I would definitely allow stuff like Esuna cause she gets 3 status healing spells!  Penelo is debatable, probably just say "Yes" to it anyway cause pity and such.

Fran would get the same white magic as those two, and only get the -Ara and -Aga versions of her attack spells, but not stuff like Scathe meaning her best damage is now Firaga, which is 3100 damage, 4650 after Burning Bow.

Also, speed average is wrong; it should be 31.  I mostly note this cause you have current speed average 11 points higher than the maxed one <.<


a few new averages as a result!

Damage Average w/ Fran using Burning Bow and Ashe using White Robe: 4183.
Damage Average w/ Extensions only view: 2400
Damage Average w/ Extensions only view where Fran uses Burning Bow:  2658

I'm aware you can probably tweak stats and such for more damage twinking in the DL (haven't cross checked OK's options with the stuff he hasn't used for strength/magic boosts), but the effects on damage through stats is far less significant than that of Elemental Strengthening, so these averages shouldn't change TOO much.

Damnit Meeple, you're supposed to WAIT for the topic to be completed before posting!

Anyway, it's all up!  I need to add a few notes to every section, but the stats for the main temps, PCs, and bosses are up. 

Randomly: Does anyone care about stats for the temp form of Larsa and Gabranth in the final battle?  They're different than the other forms they have, and therefore useful to note, but it's hard to get data for them concretely (though I'm pretty sure I have it down).

[Yoshiken]

Larsa would probably be useful to see for Dungeon purposes. Gabranth.. meh.

[kokushishin]

I have stats on the NPCs from the Piggyback guide (which seem to be in line with Ultimania) and some notes of my own on their augments if you want them.

[OblivionKnight]

That would be greatly appreciated if you could provide them, yeah.  Thanks.

[kokushishin]

Lamont

Maximum combo is 15 rather than 12. As Larsa it's normal.


Vossler

Nightmare (his sword)'s max combo is 14 instead of 12.

Balance: (MaxHP-CurrentHP) damage, MT, 70% base hit rate;  his gambit limits him to using it when at 30% HP or less.
 
Reddas

Max combo is 15 instead of 12.  His basic attack also seems to ignore parry, if not all evasion.  Don't have the PS2 hooked up right now, but I'll see if Main Gauche+good shield get whacked by his counters.


NPCs that aren't guests are kind of weird.  Bubble and Decoy never work on them. You cannot transfer Libra to them either. Most technicks don't target them. Others like Infuse will fail. They do not trigger traps.  They are counted as allies for spells like Cura and Protectga, likewise for enemy AOEs.

Negative statuses were tested by throwing Niho'ed Remedies and casting Death and Gravity/Gravity if available.

He seems to have Attack+ as he does pretty good damage to Vayne and the Sephira. I have not seen him do anything beyond basic physical and X-Potion spam.  Novus loves to spam magic at him which makes things messy.

Krjn is not exactly a tank, but 2 Def is horribly wrong.  I am guessing they meant 22 Def.

Unlike the other races, the Garif seem to be pretty much identical in terms of ablities and augments. Supinelu is just the one with the best stats. I can't be totally sure about status use as Catoblepas is conveniently immune to all of them.

The other ones are probably not worth mentioning.

A few comments:

*For the "initial license board only" stats which no one should ever ever use... wouldn't Vaan & Penelo be better off socking enemies in the face with no weapon at all?  IIRC, unarmed damage rises with level, so it's probably better than Dagger hype.

* The average damage for the final bosses seems a bit high to me.  Fair enough that that's something that will change by what level people took 'em on at and how much optional stuff was done, though, just that you can't really spam Ardor in-game due to the "one spell at a time" rule, and it's slow so that it'd make The Undying One's speed seem faster.

* It'd be a lot of work for likely nothing, but since arbitrary divisions of abilities between characters never really worked for me...  any interest in putting up what variations of the FF12 "Renaissance man" can do?  That's my two cents as to how I'd interpret FF12 PCs in the DL if someone put a gun to my head, since most of their stuff is storebought and thus legal for everyone.  It does mean that the entire cast are damn near clones with only minor statistical differences...  but that's also how it is in game.  FF12 PCs will never be ranked anyway, but vaguely curious to see how allowing duelers more and more options works.  Off the top of my head, there's "allow all storebought weapons & armor" as a base, with "allow all augments," "allow all technicks," and "allow all magic" as additional options (and add "storebought" in front of all those, as well).  Even the best characters won't be doing much more than average damage, but everyone would also have FF12's array of cheaty buffs and options at their disposal (various element halving & nulling options in armor, Main Gauche + Shield for stalling while casting magic, etc.).

[kokushishin]

^^Unarmed attack is capped at 11 unless you have Brawler or Amber Amulet.  Worse than starting weapons pretty much in every situation.

Doesn't Undying halve all elements, not just Holy?

[DjinnAndTonic]

Question related to scaled-Liscense Board PCs:

I don't remember the Technicks too well, but if the girls get scaled Magick options, couldn't Basch and Balthier benefit from getting scaled Technicks?

I remember the Technicks weren't very useful in general in-game, but they might have some DL use? I'd consider allowing Basch and Balthier the full set of Technicks (smallest portion of the Liscense Board, anyway, right?). Though I don't think it changes much for them. Might give them some pitiful healing or Species-weakness attacks, though?

[Magic Fanatic]

Pulled from here

For techniques, there's a lot of debate to what's actually useful.

Steal - Useless
Poach - "Captures" a Critical-HP monster for a different item, though except for the item, this is like an Eject status.
Libra - Less useful Scan.

Charge - Recovers an amount of MP equal to X times level, where X is a number between 1 and 1.33.  Has a chance of success equal to 1 - (Current MP/Max MP + 0.01).  CT = 40
First Aid - Balthier has it, and it's not actually a flat 20% MHP recovery - it's actually some value between 0% and 20%. CT = 15.
Revive - Kill self for a Full Life on an ally.  In a duel.
Infuse - CT = 40.  This takes the MP count of a character, multiplies it by 10, and replaces HP with that value while MP goes down to 0.  So if you had 56 HP and 420 MP then use this, you'll instead have 4200 HP and 0 MP.

Horology - Not really too stable.  The damage it deals is based on the ones digit of the minutes on the clock, so...  Yeah.
Traveler - Relies entierly on the amount of steps a character has taken.  Yeah.
Numerology - Is a headache.
Gil Toss - CT = 45.  The FAQ offers two formulas for it, though.  One is DMG = Gil Spent, and = Sum of party HP / # of enemies in range.  Not sure what that means, but it also seems to be ITD according to this, unless the target has Physical Immunity.
Telekinesis - CT = 50.  75% accuracy rate?  The damage flies from anywhere between 0 and the user's ATK times the target's level...  Minus 1.  It's COMPLETELY useless for Balthier's guns, since it always misses for long-ranged weapons.
Soul Eater - CT = 35.  Eats up 20% of the user's MHP.  FAQ has the following formula for it:  DMG = 1.4 x ATK x Random(1~1.125) x (1 + STR x (Lv+STR)/256).  For the better, though?  It's ITD, even though it heals undead.
Sight Unseeing - CT = 25.  If the user is blinded, then the target's HP is reduced to a number between 0 and 8.  10% base chance of hitting, unless the user has a higher level...  Then I don't know what happens.
Bone Crusher - CT = 45.  I think it's ID, and if it connects, then the user takes some amount of damage...  Any amount of damage, really, as long as the user has at least 1 HP left.  This could be useful!...  If it wasn't for the 45% hit rate, and automatically killing the user if it misses.
1000 Needles - CT = 30.  1000 Damage, ITD, ignores everything else. 70% hit rate.

Charm - CT = 35.  Base chance = 50%.  Puts the confusion status on a target.  Might be lower in practice.
Stamp - CT = 55.  Base chance = 60%.  Copy/Paste the user's status when this move starts on the target (meaning if the user gets poisoned while this is charging or something, the poison doesn't carry over).  How long the statuses last seem to be however long they'd have to remain left on the user...  Unless it's on equipment/a permanent status.  Then it's just like casting a fresh status.

Wither, Addle, Expose, Shear - CT = 45 for all.  They reduce STR, MAG, DEF, and MDEF, respectively.
STR and MAG get reduced by 50% on each use, with a 66% chance of landing. (1, .5, .25, .125, etc...)  A lot of monsters immune these, though.
DEF and MDEF get reduced by 10% on each use, with a 33% chance of landing. (1, .9, .81, .729, etc...)
Sadly, it's easily the most useful thing here, since they're permanent and cumulative like that.
Achilles - CT = 55, base chance = 40%.  Throws one random weakness on the target if it lands, though a lot of things apparently immune it.

Shades of Black - CT = 45.  Casts a random Black Magic spell without consuming MP.
88% chance of being one of the following:  Fire, Fira, Thunder, Thundara, Blizzard, Blizzara (FAQ says Blizzaga, but I'm willing to bet it's a typo), Water, Aero, and Bio.
12% chance of being one of the following:  Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, Aeroga, Shock, Scourge, Flare, Ardor, and Scathe


Yeah, like I said, almost all that information is ripped straight from that FAQ.

[OblivionKnight]

Snowfire:

While they would...it is kind of boring. I guess you could assume they have Brawler, which means they'd have 60 power at that level?  In which case everyone wants it, and they all do effectively average damage...and you have a cast that is 100% the definition of average in everyway...where Vaan is gamebest because he has 32 speed to a 31 average and gamebest HP by like 100.  Kind of...odd.

As for the damage against bosses...I erred on the high side - I haven't added the notes yet, but I will.  I take into account about 75% of the sidequests (including Gilgamesh...I need to post his stats at some point >_>), so everyone has high level stuff (Zodiac Spear, Masamune, etc.).  Note that that's damage with an attack, taking into account a 1/3 boost (to account for recasting support skills), which also applies to HP as well.  So on average, with the speed of attacks...probably cut it down about 1/3, and it should be about right.  It's hard to peg, but I figured lower is way too little (with multiple hits and support skills), so...

I do intend to do the FF12 Zodiac Jobs, but I can also add an average character with everything...they'd love the support skill.  I'll get to work on that.

kokushishin: I...think he only halves Holy?  I took it from SI's FAQ, and you can't test it unfortunately in-game.  If SI's wrong, let me know.

Djinni: The problem with the Technicks is that, unlike magicks, it's really hard to "scale" them up.  Basch starts with Libra...what other skills are similar to that?  At least with the magicks, you know White Magick scales up in classes to, say, healing, status curing, etc.  If there's a good way to do it, I can, but...Steal and Libra are...kind of hard to scale up.  It also doesn't help that, like Magic noted...they're kind of not that helpful overall.

[DjinnAndTonic]

How do you scale up Libra/Steal/First Aid?

Well, since you're doing the Zodiac Jobs anyway, perhaps whichever Job Technicks that are grouped along with Libra/Steal/First Aid can be viewed as the logical 'scaling' of those skills?

Alternately, I would just allow Balthier/Basch full Technick choice, as this makes them more interesting. And since it really doesn't effect the averages anyway. The stat-buffs/downs, Charm, 1000 Needles/Telekinesis (Only Basch would care about these since Balthier's already ITD and long-range), Soul Eater, Charge and Infuse could all have some decent uses. Stamp might also be interesting if either of them has any claim to a weapon/armor that grants a permanent status. Sight Unseeing might be useful against... Palom?!

The only one that strikes me as reasonable to consider that might be headachey (obviously crap like Horology and Traveler aren't worth it) is Gil Toss if Basch/Balthier really wants MT damage.

Also, Bonecrusher is awesome RPGmon fodder. 45% chance to ID or Suicide. Yes.
