FFXII

Re: FFXII

That's a pretty lame way of leveling up.

I'm level 67 and just beat fafnir, who has like 1.5 million hp. Wasn't too bad. Took maybe 15-20 minutes. He keeps casting stop and such, which is annoying. Also, silence and sleep on everyone ;(

I don't really want to overlevel because IMO, then the game is too easy and there is no challenge.

Though, if it took me that long to kill fafnir I don't even want to know how long it will take to kill yazmat XD Probably need my guys into the 70's...at least...my attack is pretty strong though (like 2000-7000). I'll definitely try to take down Hell Wyrm first (if I can find it? XD). I don't even know how strong yazmat is really, aside from that he can go insane near the end with like 12x chain hits for 3000+ a piece.

Re: FFXII

hellwyrm is in the sochen cave palace, you have to solve another puzzle like the waterfall puzzle. I didn't even try the auto leveling glitch yet and I don't plan really plan to either, gonna try to level myself by just playing a bit each day
but I was just wondering: I've never found or seen anything of the ultima summon, heard about it but nothing else , anyone know where it is? thanks

Re: FFXII

Yiazmat:

Health points: 50,000,000
Weakness: Dark
Absorb: Holy

Location: The Ridorana Cataract (Colosseum)

Recommended Level: Level 90 or higher strongly recommended, but possible
at lower levels, but it'll take a bit longer to kill when your characters
are lower levels. He gets tough at the end of the battle.

Re: FFXII

Ahh I quit the whole leveling thing.. It's really gay once you reach level 50.. because it takes about 5 hours to level after that. Only thing good about it is it gets me about 70,000 gil and LP.

Re: FFXII

lol might as well post on my main account, I beat the game about 2 hours ago ^_^ lol might even play the game again cause god it owns hahahaha the final stage of the game was surprisingly easy for me.... gonna have to do sidequests and finish the hunts, yazmat looks like a total beast hahaha

Re: FFXII

Takes like 6 hours to beat yiazmat...

>.>

I stopped playing. I really don't feel the urge to beat Yiazmat and then Omega.

Well yea. In the deadlands I can get like 3200 exp a pop from the skulls that keep spawning near the fog shrine, and it still takes like 20-30 minutes to level my guys up at level 67 (200,000+ exp to level? :S)

I can get like 4500+ a pop int he lseau mines or whatver, but enemies spawn less frequently there so you don't really level any faster.


So basically I just don't level up anymore, and just kill enemies as I'm doing hunts and I periodically level up without purposly trying to.


As I see it, from what I can tell you gain about 1 stat point every 2 level ups where I'm at, or maybe 100-150 or so hp when bubbled...so really, leveling up isn't all that important. It doesn't make you THAT much stronger.


PS I have 300000 gil and like 6000 LP I don't really need. I havn't finished the liscence board but, the only thing left to buy is armor/sword ect liscences for weapons I don't own XD

Re: FFXII

Found Hell Wyrm

****. 9 million hp

Got about 2 million damage into him so far (I've been hitting for 9999's at times ). Still fighting, though

Not incredibly hard, but seems to gain strength as the battle progresses. He started doing like 5-8 hit chains for ~2000 a piece.


edit: meh, wasn't as cool as I thought it was going to be. He isn't really that hard. Judgement is the only move you actually need to worry about. The rest of the battle is you just hacking the crap out of him constantly recasting your status buffs. Curaja is plenty for the whole battle. He starts attacking constantly near the end of the battle for about ~2500 a pop, but as long as you cure every turn and have bubble on it's not that big of a deal. Judgement hits everyone for like 5000-6000+ damage, AND casts stop, but you can run to the door where he can't get you, rebuff your guys and then just go back into battle and he doesn't heal rofl.

9 million hp...took about ~1 hour at level 72. Half of it was me pausing the game to go do something else because *yawn* it's not that exciting. Omega might be more interesting...

Re: FFXII

Sooo the Third Ascent of that stupid ****ing lightouse tower is really getting to me. I don't see how you could get through without just guessing. It's really annoying. I actually hate this dungeon so much. I started it lastnight around ten and thought it would just be a quick dungeon. Two hours later I'm at the Third Ascent.

Re: FFXII

It's incredibly long.

I somehow managed to get through the third ascent first try, actually. It was easy...

I got lucky? I just went into whatever portal each time lol.

At least know that the third ascent is pretty damn short in comparison to the first. The second one is shorter than the first and the third only took me a few minutes.

You're also incredibly close to the end of the game.

Re: FFXII

Ahh I'm about to go to Giruvegan or w.e. I managed to get the zodiac spear earlier and the gambits I use allow Vaan and Basch to do about 9999 each hit.

[scorpio1690]

Re: FFXII

Ya, I just beat the Third Ascent. I just started picking random ones (I only had trouble getting the last one to warp me to the Facade Wall and then the Way Point). Got Hashmal and Famfrit. I'm not really interested in beating the game, I just want to get all eighteen Espers.

On a side note, Vaan, Balthier, and Basch are all level 80, while Fran, Ashe, and Penelo are level 22. Wonder who I use more. =\

Isn't the Bahamut just an insanely long final dungeon though?

[Reach]

Re: FFXII

Uh no...

Spoilers**************









Do beat the game. You're at the end now, actually.

The pharos is the final dungeon. Bahamut isn't a dungeon. I thought this might be the case too, but the the final boss fight is almost immediately after entering the bahamut.

Level 80? Jesus you're going to massacre the final boss XD Vayne is one of the hardest final bosses in Final Fantasy (exdeath > zeromus > chaos > vayne> ...with kefka or sephiroth being the easiest XD), but at that level he's cake. Also, having bubble belts makes him exponentially easier than not having it.

Re: FFXII

Ya, I decided to enter the Bahamut. I schooled Gabranth and Vayne, just started at Vayne Novus. I don't like the Sephiras very much though. I never bothered to get any of the insanely good weapons though so I have Basch with like... Save the Queen. Vaan has a Dragon Whisker, and Balthier has some crappy gun that does ~2000 damage on normal enemies. Am I going to have to reset the game after I beat him? Cause I haven't saved since I got back to the Docks after Pharos, which was quite a while ago.

I never even got Bubble or Hastega or some others... Never got Bravery, or it's magic equivalent. I don't explore much, just grind and go with the story. I just want Zodiark. Zeromus looked pretty cool too, I accidentally found him while I was wandering the Stilshrine and he kicked my ass, forty levels ago.

brb killing Vayne.

Edit: Oh wow that is COOL after Vayne Novus. I wish I could do that!

Edit: That ending was ****in tight. One of the best FF endings IMO. They tied up the loose ends nicely.

Re: FFXII

Didn't feel like digging up a thread if we had one recently. This was released on Hallowe'en in North America and I have a friend who has it. He says it's absolutely amazing so I'm gonna pick it up on my birthday in eleven days.

I've been going around the net looking at it and it seems like a mixture of Tactics, Tactics Advance (Boooo), and FFXI which I never played. The Gambit System seems alright, I don't think I'll mind it and I'll probably learn to like it. The License Board is what really catches my attention; there is no preset classes like in the other FF's. For example, in FFVII or FFIX people like Aerith and Dagger/Eiko were the white mage types. In FFXII on the other hand you can set anyone to anything. You can make your main character anything from a barbarically strong knight, to a skillfully swift thief, to a fragile summoner. That aspect of customization reminds me of Fable which I had a grand ol' time playing. The story of the game seems... bleh, for lack of a better word. Yes story does make up a good percentage of the game but in my opinion I'll work with it even if I don't appreciate the story at all. And lastly, the music strongly resembles FFT which I love dearly.

Once I get it and start playing I'll update what I think of it more and how it feels. I'm kind of wary of letting the computer control the other characters in battle even if I have set their priorities though...

Borowed this game from a friend a month ago.. never got aroudn to actually playing it.. XP
