Also, for Zenny: break resistance doesn't grant break immunity. It still debuffs, but at reduced effect. So, a breakdown has roughly the effect of a break and a break just sucks.

I don't see what's wrong with caring about a game you like? Zenny's past the earlygame autobattle-fest and should be at the point where he's got enough timebux that he shouldn't even be losing sleep over it if he tried, thus solving the main issues you and he had with it?

I do see a problem with someone who has an addictive personality taking back up a something that actively made him lose sleep and feel uncomfortable "wasting" resources in it that actively encourages him to do it every day for months at a time that he going back to it unironically can say the reason he had difficulty with it this time was because he didn't play it for months.

Also mostly I just need to be able to shout things at Zenny something other than how much he has been neglecting the shaft and the balls lately.

But hey you are using it to get that early morning exercise in right Zenny?

FF Typo - Redid the bridge thing for SP for Tasks.  That boss goes down much quicker and easier with King than Cater.  His shots aren't hitscan, but they are easily the fastest reacting things you have.  Tight killsight windows is pretty bad since actively attacking stops them from coming up.  That means things with tight windows you literally need to ESP out.  Some of the bosses ones just aren't consistent enough in when they pop op to get them 100% of the time (though times they don't come up aren't punishing you UNLESS they are followed by another possible killsight).

Yes.


RK: Got all them materias, mastered all them dungeons. What do I do what do I do. I think I'll try soloing some dungeons with synergy for exp and fun, because fuck dailies.

We can finally craft Meteo. I got Flare instead. I got a major black orb for completing the quest.

Atma Weapon was a bit difficult, as you can only lose two medals and you're definitely going to lose three. The answer to this is, as usual, ProtectgaShellgaPhysBreakdownMagBreakdown but I also recommend some Carbuncle to reflect its Flare. My level 52 team beat his ass.

Firion is another Tidus, fuck him

Dude, Ultima Weapon is vulnerable to Paralysis, I lost one medal on actions taken and I was rocking a B-team. R4 Intimidate rules that fight.

Final Fantasy Autobattle Knows I'm Miserable Now - Done with Soul Breakfast phase 4, done with Man In Black, currently farming Greater Blacks because misery is my name. I also crafted Meteor because seriously, people.

EDIT: FIRION HAS BLACK MAGIC 1, MAGE FIRION WITH GOLBEZ'S RUNE AXE META 4 LYFE he can use staves anyway

I mentioned in chat, but I have an obsessive personality, so I'll mention here, too.

Why does Irvine have magic, when he's the guy who is scared of GFs?
Why does Irvine have ZERO ranks in Celerity instead of FIVE? Does anyone else find it really fucking weird that Final Fantasy's resident sniper is unable to use the "Aim" ability?

Why is Kraken immune to earth damage but takes normal damage from water?

Why is the boss of the Snow Cavern in FF2 weak to ice?

Why are the following flying creatures not immune to earth damage?  FF3 bats, FF10 Simurghs, FF13 jetpack troopers.  Probably others I'm missing.

Well vsm, Irvine is a really shitty sniper...if that helps.

Ffrk!

I waltzed through the golbez event and in the last fight I beat the cpu and did not bring lightning, so no mastery for me!

Yay, do over!

In FF1, enemies fought underwater (including Kraken) were immune to Quake because they were swimming in water, not standing on the ground.... so them being immune to earthquake is actually pretty reasonable. Meanwhile, water was not an element in FF1, and the PCs had no water attacks of any sort.

Why is the boss of the Snow Cavern in FF2 weak to ice?

Because it's a turtle. Granted, that leaves open the better question of why on earth a turtle would live in a snow cavern.

50% hit rate. Can be refreshed before running out. Don't blame me, blame yourself or RNGesus.

Also, I refuse to waste that many 5* orbs on a spell that has no real use over -jas even six months from now. Meanwhile, Meteor can be spammed against the ever increasingly dangerous trash mobs even at R1 and mocks Reflect.

Meteo is useful against randoms, but the upcoming Ruinga cover its base and R2 Valefor is basically already = this.
Flare has too few uses to be better than -jas, but if you have two black mages, you can probably give one a Flare for easy 2x9999 damage

Both spells are pretty redundant but have their use. Only one of those two completes a quest

Well, after everyone here wouldn't stop talking about it, I downloaded RK about two weeks ago. I saved some Mythril for the Golbez Banner (didn't get anything noteworthy) and used the other Mythril I had on SB4.



Not pictured is Firion's Axe.

I am pretty sure I am going to be hit by a bus tomorrow.

I also want to add that, depending on the nature of the water attack as well as the nature of the creature, an aquatic beast being wounded. I mean, I keep fish. Wrong chemical composition, wrong aeration, wrong temperature, etc will all kill the hell out of fish.

I was going more for, if you're giving the boss an obscure immunity, why not make it the element he lives in?  But yeah this is the DL, RPGs are srs bsns.

So we all agree that Kraken are terrible bosses and games shouldn't do water levels any more right?  Cool it has been decided.

Maybe the kraken is hurt by being pushed by the water you summon, towards, like, a certain death?
Also Irvine got over his fear of magic when I junctioned 100 deaths to his gunz

The skillset in Celerity is a weird combination as is, though. It's got shades of Ranger through Leg Shot and Aim, but Shadowbind is usually more of a Ninja skill, while Wind Slash originated from Sabin's Blitzes. Quick Hit has been in the Ranger skill set before, but I always mentally associate it with Tidus, who is a swordsman/speedster/time mage. I can't even recall which other games had Quick Hit besides FFX and FFD at this point, though. Did FFV Ranger have Quick Hit? I recall FFV Ranger having Barrage as its major skill.

Anyway, the point is, that Irvine, despite wielding a gun, does not actually get any of these skills, whereas characters like Tidus and Fran actually -have- gotten them in their games.

Now that said, I -totally- think that if Rinoa and Squall get Celerity, that Irvine should too, but uh.... oh well? The word "celerity" literally refers to speed, so it's not -actually- the Ranger skillset. Which explains why other ranged characters like Sazh don't get it either.

FFRK:
Wanted to play with my toys, so I made a team of all-physical 5*-loaded combat characters to see if they could autobattle through some Elite-level content. They Mastered the 90-difficulty Demon Wall in Golbez's event without much trouble, though I did switch to manual to throw some Drain Swords.

All Lv65, all 5* or better gear, all rocking 4* damage abilities + a Break or Spellblade
Cloud w/ 6* Zantetsuken+ rocking Holy Blade materia
Tidus w/ Brotherhood and Double Hit
Squall w/ Blitz Sword and Self-Sacrifice (and Drain Sword)
Lightning w/ Ras Algethi gun and Zealot
Sephiroth w/ Keepsake Knife and Gore-Stained Blade II

It's not as good as Mage Meta, but surprisingly effective when you can actually use all your best gear in one party. (Why can't I get a freakin' 5* mage weapon...!?)

Because misery loves an audience.

Final Fantasy Topsy-Turvy Autobattle - Farming Greater Black Orbs on Mako Reactor 5 today has netted me five of them so far. This is actually a -really- good haul so far. I just wish the Orb Festival would come by already.

Tangentially, I'm pretty sure I can easily break 300 attack on most of my swordsmen with Blazefire Sabre sans synergy just by stacking my current equips and Self-Sacrifice. At this point, I'm not even using Cloud anymore unless I need Retaliate, and that has become increasingly rare (basic physicals just don't work anymore. Such a far departure from the days of yore. As much as autobattle has become the game's moniker here, no relevant content worth its salt will fail to lay waste on your party if you attempt autoing nowadays. FF4 Demon Wall does -not- count as relevant content).

EDIT: Regarding Irvine, considering his only sniping achievement in plot was FAILING TO LAND A SHOT, I think it's only fair that he gets no Aim. Hell, SELPHIE gets ITE on her basic physical and he doesn't in FF8.

Not that I like Irvine or anything, but you're kind of off the mark for Irvine here, no pun intended.  He didn't miss the shot so much as she put up a barrier blocking it; we clearly see Edea hold up her hand, a barrier like thing appears just as the bullet reaches her.  Failure to kill, yes, but not because he couldn't aim.  The failure came from how he paniced beforehand, thereby letting Edea have enough time to realize "oh, someone's probably going to try and kill me."

Yes, I'm being nitpicky, what about it?
