Phantom Roxas Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes, although I seriously need to get around to playing more of that. I restarted my game a while ago, and it's definitely more interesting this time around. Perhaps I should look into getting a guide book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 You never finished Final Fantasy Tactics? Dorter Slums will murder you if you haven't prepared your party and become very familiar with the combat system. It is one of the hardest parts of the game and catches you off guard due to how early and nondescript it is. Also, when you get to Riovanes Castle, save before you go there. After the first battle there's a save point, and the boss after the save point is That One Boss (like, The Most Triumphant Example imo). There is no way to go back from that save if you overwrite your main save and you might even have to restart the whole game if you do that and aren't properly setup. One skill I'd recommend is the dual wielding one you can learn as a Ninja. It's ridiculous, especially on monks who will do two punches. Oh, and be sure to stop at the taverns and read the rumors etc. There's like, entire important plotlines entirely self-contained within that section, and they really help you understand what's going on.

Sploda Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Revolver has it down to a T, it took me a few tries to get past Dorter, but once I did I made sure I was consistantly prepared. Also, you should always play cautious over reckless, because unlike other games, PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY GET DEFEATED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you should always play cautious over reckless, because unlike other games, PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY GET DEFEATED! Only if you take nine thousand years before you get around to reviving them. Ending the battle before their counter is up also stops them from being Lost Forever. And if for whatever reason you don't think you can revive them or win in time, I guess you could cast petrify on them if they're at critical health and you know they're going to die. Petrify has no timer but they're dead for all purposes until you remove the status effect (I forget if petrify hits multiple tiles, but if it does you can probably hit the thing that's killing them too). Healing isn't too hard though. White Mages/Priests are always useful, and one of my personal preferences is to make Mustadio (and later Balthier if you're playing the PSP version) a Chemist with their special class' abilities in the second slot. Then they can throw items and stuff while being excellent range fighters. All three of Mustadio's special abilities are useful (Seal Evil is fantastic when you get things like the 9 Ghost battle), and Balthier has all of those plus the full suite of thief skills (with a higher chance of success) and the ability to essentially attack twice (Barrage is 4 attacks at half damage). Balthier would be apeshit bananas if Orlandu didn't already have a monopoly on awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Early on in the game though, if your not careful you can lose some people, and that sucks when you lose like your best Black Mage and stuff, sure they can be replaced, but that doesn't mean you want to. Point is, don't go running in thinking that "hey my guy will just get back up if I leave him there!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Eh, my style leans towards one of aggression. Dead things don't fight back :3 In dorter, you pretty much have to race up the big rooftop to get that gog damn archer. Otherwise, I think it's good to let the Mages and Archers come to you a little if you're using a melee centric setup. Oh, and one thing that people often overlook is which direction you leave your character facing. You get to choose at the end of your turn, so try and put your back to the wall.

Phantom Roxas Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Dorter Slums is actually the very place I got stuck, which is why I restarted the game. So, I'm going to go trade-in Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker X Ninja (Because it has annoying characters, a boring story, and poor localization), Dissidia Final Fantasy (Because I have Duodecim), and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009 (Because I have 2011), and I'll use the money to reserve XIII-2.

Phantom Roxas Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Type-0 is apparently a Monster Hunter game in disguise. Having not played Monster Hunter, I can't argue one way or the other. http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/08/final-fantasy-type-0-preview/ Warning: Audio quality is rather low.

Phantom Roxas Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Amethyst, how did you find that picture for your avatar? I was on Zerochan a few days ago, and saw that exact same picture that you cropped. So, Tactics Ogre took at least eight hours for the Data Install. I seriously hate Sony.

Nexev Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 My favorite villian has to be.... actually that's a good question.... I'll say doc scratch, he pretty much tortured an entire civilization into becoming warmongering monsters and pretty much has manipulated everyone into their own demise including your own.

Phantom Roxas Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Doc Scratch is indeed a pretty awesome villain. Apparently he was partially based on Doc Holliday, who is in fact Hussie's ancestor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I wouldn't say Doc Scratch is a villain; tbh he's just some bloke who's doing his job, nothing necessarily villainous; it may not be the right thing but it isn't completely wrong... besides keeping a young girl imprisoned in a room.

He works for English who causes infinite amounts of pain and suffering, he is a villian. He may not be an antagonist but that doesn't make him any less evil.

The Warden Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Again, he's only really doing his job. He accepts the fact that English is a murdering bastard, but it's all just a job for Scratch, his life's work as he has to die as the final key that brings English to Trollland.

Nexev Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 That implies that if i hire an assasain to bomb a random building they are somehow not evil. Thus the implication is that evil is nonexistant so long as you dont believe in the cruel cause your fullfilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 That is correct. Bombing a building is amoral, but nonetheless he is just doing his job. Good and evil are vague terms in a ways; people slap them on anywhere really. But, sometimes, the actions of some that others call evil may not be to those performing the actions, mainly because they are doing it with the best of intentions in mind. For instance, take the teacher who got possessed by Terabyte in Zexal; he messed up the city's systems unintentionally, but all he wanted to do was make the people of the city happy by fixing the missing part of the Bugman matrix.
