Have you tried...going against the full powered Behemoth with that setup? I'm pretty curious as to how that team would work against it. Trying to beat the damn thing myself (without using anything "broken" ) but so far not much in the way of positive results.
Since I'm discussing more than the mere name of a post-game boss, I'll use spoiler tags.
Based on what I've seen, I don't think my team's average of 3700ish HP can stand up to the 6k damage every it does round. I tried it earlier and it appears that, currently, if I fail to keep it SPD Crushed and Erin Speed AND EX Boosted at all times, everything falls apart very quickly. I'd also have to slowly chip it apart with Violet as I'd be fortunate to get Buster Cannons off with Gray, considering all the time he spends either dead or tossing items. Erin must guard at all times that she isn't using Second Aid to revive the team. Basically, the way I see it the battle can be won, but Erin MUST ALWAYS get two turns for every one that the Behemoth gets in order to do it. There would be absolutely no room for error. There would be almost no way to successfully get Buster Cannon off considering how critical the buffs and debuffs are in this fight. I certainly wouldn't be breaking 50k damage with it without ATK boosting Gray, and I'm already having to upkeep one buff and debuff while guarding every single attack it does to begin with.
Hmmm... I just got another idea to try... I'll be back with the results in a sec. I think I might just have finally found a use for the syncs like Heart of Mysia... :D
Update: Oh well... Apparently he can only take 3000 damage a pop from a Toxication Field. I was gonna try and cheese him out via poison, but when I tested on the weakened version too it would only take 3000 damage as well. I know for a fact it has more that 30000 HP in that form, so the same is probably true of the normal version. I seem to be having terrible luck getting the speed crush to stick for more than a turn or two right now as well, so I'll go ahead and call this Behemoth 1, ARPerson 0 for now. Perhaps we will have a rematch in the future, when I have some more options available.

post=210420100,000 dmgHmm, looks like the postgame won't give you much of a problem :P (Maybe I should've tested those random dmg syncs better..)
I wouldn't worry too much about that. Getting hits like that off virtually require me getting the planets to align. That setup is only 100% effective on things that are 50% weak to either Force or Burn. It also requires Violet to sit at nearly dead before she uses it, with both ATK & CRIT Boost applied and the enemy must be GRD Crushed. Also, you have to get lucky and hope that the random damage sync doesn't screw you with less than 100% damage. It IS easy to pull off lesser versions, though. If it's not weak to the element, that's +50% damage gone. If you're not nearly dead for Zero-System, that's upwards of another +100% gone. I'm not sure what CRIT Boost applies, but without ATK boost the potential damage is halved from the get go. You can definitely hit like a truck in your game, but it has been rather specific so far from what I've seen. Personally I think giving Violet/anyone else with a bajillion hits the CRISIS & Chaos Mode & EX Facilitator is way more broken. Free 10k+ damage every two turns irregardless of enemy defenses? I'll gladly take it.
If it makes you feel any better, Behemoth scared the crap out of me earlier today and totally made me eat my previous words.I made it to the laser and started with a hit for about 90k and thought "Wow, if that's like 2/3's of his healh, then this will be over in a minute! Maybe I should just straight up fight him?" I then hit it for 10k with Gray, another 20k from Violet using CRISIS and a couple of EX's, and then Gray let out the mother of all Buster Cannons for 55k. Do you know what it did after that? It whispered into my ear: "Thank you sir, may I please have another?" as it used Earthquake for the second time. It took probably another 50-60k damage after that (roughly 3 Violet EX's and 1 more from Gray for ~20k) before it finally went down! Also, for each EX that Violet used, she used Machine Gun once to charge up before hand... It deals 5000 damage with CRISIS... I'm pretty sure that the Behemoth has like 250k HP, easy based on that fight. That sounds like a quick fight, but it doesn't mention all of the turns spent healing/buffing and rezzing Violet from pretty much every time she got hit

A new problem arises!
Hmmm... this should be basically what you need to do.
If I remember correctly, you need to head right and drop down, trigger the green teleporter switch to make it red, and then run all the way left to get to the first red teleporter. Take each red teleporter while heading to your right and jumping that way if you can't find one on that level. Eventually you should see a new red switch, hit it to activate the orange teleporters. Drop to the bottom and the orange ones should take you straight up to the exit pretty quickly. Also, if my memory serves correctly this is the place that has Chaos Mode. It's should be rather hard to miss if I'm right, and is very strong.
As for an amusing story regarding that fight from before you spoke of...
So I, too, was walked into that fight and thought things wouldn't be so bad. Then he started spamming Ether Shot and always sticking the HP Crush from Aerial Drop and made my life miserable. Cue round two when I'm actually prepared, I start off by trying to EX Crush him to curb the spamming of Ether Shot. What does he do? Ether Shot, Ether Shot, Aerial Drop. All after I finally stuck EX Crush and all in a row. Although I did finally win that time, he was still quite a jerk about it.

Holy mother of God and Satan. What level was Violet at?!
If I remember correctly, she was 48 at the time.

post=21022357,340 damageSee, now it's an SMT game.
Lol, wow! You're right. It IS an SMT game now! It's a challenging game where your tactics make a huge difference in how well you do!
Also, I lied earlier. This, however, is truly the last of me trying to deal stupid high damage.
I suddenly remembered Karsuman's comment about Violet being broken, and realized that I was doing it wrong earlier. Whoever it was that said it takes a woman to do a man's job was apparently right. Violet pwns. Period. End of Story. O_O
BTW, I'm curious Neok, can anything in the game survive this? XD

Wait...are we sure that's not just multiple hits? I thought the cap was 9999.
Gray's Buster Cannon only hits one enemy one time, last I checked.
Update: So I was having trouble getting anything over 25k for a little while. Apparently in the file I was loading from to get that last picture, I had Gray equipped with a Joker Card and the X-System, instead of the Joker Card and Wild Card, like I had earlier when I broke 30k. I rectified it and this is the result.

UPDATE: Ok, last one, I promise guys. Just trust me, this one's worth it...

Holy Freaking Crap! Seriously!? I replaced the Wild Card with the Zero System on a whim and let Gray's HP run out and this is what happened. Ok, with this one, I'm done derailing the comments with my silly damage pics. I hope you all enjoyed my little experiment as much as I did. This just goes to show, buffs and DMG +% bonuses when stacked properly can change the whole game.
Again, stellar work on the combat system, Neok. Two thumbs up. I'd give more, but two is all I have.

Edit: You should screen-cap it next time :D
Done and done.
Here's the best one I have a picture of so far. I'll post again if I manage to break 30k again.

Buster Cannon may not be the most efficient method of dealing damage, but it's still one of my favorite EX moves cause it makes the biggest numbers, period from what I've seen so far. What can I say. I like big numbers and I cannot lie.:D

Thanks for the assist Neok! You rock!
Also, thanks for the props, but if anyone deserves props, it's you for even implementing 5 digit damage in the DBS. I was more surprised at being able to go over 9999 damage in the DBS. That just goes to show how much work you've done on it. Anyways, apparently it's very possible to break the damage cap with a Wild Card/Joker Card and a little bit of luck.
Waitaminute... do those stack? Surely not... but it should be fun to test... For Science! or, rather, for the sake of blowing stuff up! XD
Update: It appears that they might just stack. Using an ATK, MND, and CRIT boost and GRD & MND crushing a Punk B(in Stynx - Main Prison) resulted in a 35k damage hit from Gray's Buster Cannon with both the Wild Card and Joker Card on him in addition to an Impact Bolster.
This game rules! I'm not even at the post game yet, and already I can do stuff like this.

Have you tried completing the Street Tournament in Charon? The reward for completing all the levels helped me with finding the orbs.
No, I haven't finished it yet. I was pretty close, but none of the other rewards on the list looked interesting at the time so I stopped. Granted, I can only see up to 80, but I got to the point where I just wanted to try running through the final dungeon instead. I'll go finish that up if my next attempt at the final boss meets a similar result to the above.
Thanks for the advice!

I think I've found a rather nasty glitch in the final battle. Basically, one of my character's ATB gauges stopped moving after they were revived via a Revivant B. Details are hidden below due to spoilers.
Ok, so I was fighting Aila with a team of Erin, Gray, and Violet and a good ways into the battle Violet died for the dozenth time. Up till then, I'd been using Violet(with GUARDIAN/Chaos Mode/EX Facilitator) to clear out the three orb things that let Aila use what I soon discovered to be X Nova. When I attempted to toss a Revivant B onto Violet, Aila triggered her Crush Field and Gray immediately chucked the Revivant and Violet got up at near full health... except her ATB wasn't moving. I tried tossing another revivant, wondering if somehow she had HP restored but still had the death flag, but it didn't fix it. Still wouldn't move. I basically had to sit there and watch me go from having complete control of the situation to outright losing, since I didn't have enough time to find another solution to killing the orbs or fixing Violet. This only happened to Violet over the course of the fight, but she was the only one to ever go down over the course of the fight until the X Nova occurred, so I don't know if it's specific to her or not. I'll try again later and post if it happens again. Hopefully it's just a one-time fluke, cause that really pissed me off since I was pretty sure I had the fight in the bag up to that point... especially with as well as my team had performed against Angel Kugar just earlier.
Oh, and lol at Aila's ultimate dealing 10k+ to the whole team. I was feeling guilty for hitting Kugar and Aila for 15k and 12k respectively with Gray earlier, so I guess that makes up for it. ;P
