FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
Yeah, they definitely could've shredded the spell schools out more. It would make the mages more diverse too.
Darkness means Drunk Cecil's Dark Sword is useful again. It had a dark damage bonus that was only useful for his limit break, but now will also be good for that inverted saint's cross coming out.

I actually hate that Lifesiphon exists at all. It's one of the few abilities that I have two copies of because it's too good, and the number of copies will only increase as I accumulate more powerful soul breaks. It'd be fine if there was more variety in the amount of meter generated by abilities, with Lifesiphon not being miles ahead of its peers.
There are more issues with mages than just soul meter. The biggest is definitely how most bosses have 50-80% more RES than they do DEF. Boostga is easier to get than Faithga. Mages have less utility--they have no breaks and their status effects have both a lower rate and deal no damage. For awhile they had an AoE dominance, but that is disappearing one Flashing Blade and Sky Grinder at a time.

kentuna, it's a class based shooter, like Team Fortress except more fantastic. Different character classes have different guns and abilities.

It's kind of nice that they release MC2s with new characters. We get them for both Palom and Porom tomorrow. But it is pretty lame that Rosa, Golbez, Tellah, FuSoYa, and Edge aren't getting theirs. Golbez won't even get his until the Dissidia event, a concept which I find pretty bizarre... Fan service game featured in a fan service game...
Kind of want to pull on the FF4 2 banner, both to complete my Drunk Cecil and because I've been trying to snag that Ebon Armor forever. Both banners look pretty solid, though. That Kotetsu is nice--wanted it last time. My FF4 is really powerful, though, so I shouldn't pull.
I'm over 150 Mythril at the moment, thanks to the new dungeons (still two left) and that Spring bonus. I should probably just save some for the next soul break bonanza, which is only like a month away, though I still intend to pull on FF3 and FF9. It features new Bursts for Pretty Cecil and Bartz that looks dope, plus an incredible looking one for Tyro that's support-oriented.
Might as well. Lulu's Focus is great and its effect is still unique. It's a pretty rare item. I still keep one on my friends list just in case I ever get a black mage soulbreak or three... how weird is it that I still don't have one?
Getting something for Arc would be okay. He's a solid white mage. The trouble is, I'd probably never use him over Yuna, who has a better kit. His strength is his default limit break, but I don't have much need for that anymore because I've got Boon and two shared Shellga items. Have you been putting Leila to work at all?
Plus, Arc's SSB seems really awkward to me. Subsequent casts are only good for the Magic Blink component, because the duration on Shellga and Regen is quite long. Contrast that with Selphie's variant, which heals the big fireball you just ate and then makes you immune to the next one--much better synergy. Beatrix gets a Magic Blink SSB soon as well, and its attached to damage, which is always handy. Not that I'd be upset about getting a Magic Blink of my own... Arc's just seems way less efficient than an SSB ought to be.
I think I like the first FF3 banner the best. The second still looks good, but I am mildly terrified of pulling Desch's Gauntlets, which has a really dumb limit break. It's barely stronger than Basch's and Leon's but hurts Desch by quite a lot. And if you weren't aware, self-damage still counts against damage medals.

I'm actually thinking about changing my SB to Lulu's Focus because of this.
Been leveling Arc in hopes of getting one of his SBs in two weeks. Eiko's kinda weird to me since I have her SSB -- I feel awkward using her for a Shellga, in case I need the medica. =/ So I guess Arc being leveled will be handy even if I don't get a weapon for him.

Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

Jude, looking (and sounding) cool. You still using PyGame for the basis of your engine?
Kind of, except I'm using Pygame_SDL2, which is an implementation of Pygame created and maintained by the RenPy developer. I've migrated everything but the audio stuff, which still uses regular SDL, because it isn't perfect yet. However, everything still uses software surfaces and blits. At some point, perhaps this summer, I'll be migrating the graphics to hardware textures and renders.
I wrote the pitch-shifting in C, though. Basically I stretch the signal and do some fourier transforms to clean up some of the interference, then just resample it to the desired pitch. More or less.
Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!
The major thing I've done this week is add pitch-shifting to my audio module. This short clip shows how NPCs can have different voices, and also how the rain loop is pitched down when entering a building. The slight oscillation in the bleeps and boops is random, but is seeded by the text of the chatbox, so the pitch will fluctuate the same for the same text. The audio was captured at a very low volume and I'm too lazy to correct that, so you'll probably have to turn it up.
Clip (0:31)
Smaller thing I did was to add particle/sprite emitters to maps. I always had the object, but I was using it for spell animations. Now an emitter can be placed directly on a map, as shown by smoke sprites coming out of the chimney.
I've also added more complex tile-passability rules, though that isn't showcased in the video at all. Basically, instead of a tile simply being tagged as impassable, I can set whether or not it can be passed from the left or above, etc, kind of like how RPG Maker does it. I was just annoyed that you could climb into a bed by walking through its headboards.

My problem, specifically, is that I suck at video games that require any form of timing or reaction.
Practice.
FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER
Here are my suggestions:
Seifer with Draw Fire, Armor Strike, and the Lionheart RM. The defensive bonus of Draw Fire will contribute to his Armor Strike damage. Additionally, he will draw all of the normal attacks which will fuel his limit break. His limit break's +RES will stack with Shellga and Magic Break, meaning you don't need Stoneskin/Sentinel's Guard.
Laguna with Lifesiphon and Blind Shell. This dude has a group damage SSB, so you'll be using Lifesiphon and that SSB always--the only exception is applying Blind to Raijin every time he Remedies himself. This character is the meat and potatoes of your damage.
Squall with your best Blizzard Strike and Lightning Strike. Give him either Pride of the Red Wings, Mako Might, or Ace Striker as your RM. Take out Fujin with Lightning Strike, then use Squall's Burst to take out Raijin. Blizzard Strike Seifer for the medals, then go with whatever hits him the hardest after that, which is probably the wind damage attack of his Burst.
Best white mage with your best Cure and either Shellga or Protectga depending on what you do with your last character slot. Pretty Cecil can not be your dedicated healer for this fight without some kind of MND weapon. If you have no white mages with limit breaks, I would use Eiko or Arc. Give them Mako Might or Dr. Mog's Teachings and they can cover both your Protectga and Shellga, which makes your fifth slot even more flexible.
Rikku or Tyro with some combination of Magic Breakdown, Heathen Frolic, Spellbend Etude, Exhausting Polka, Multi Break, Power Breakdown, Enveloping Etude, Shellga, Bio Strike, and Protectga. Give them Zell's fist weapon. Tyro is optimal if you've leveled him and learned his Celebration Grimoire's limit break. I would go with Tyro with Bio Strike and Multi Break, personally, covering Protectga and Shellga with my white mage. Could also swap Multi Break for a second Cure, per LockeZ's suggestion.

I got my face wiped twice trying to do Ultimate Seifer. I just can't accomplish much right now without an SS2/SG RW.
What's killing you? What's your party make-up? What limit breaks have your learned? Stoneskin is safer, but you can compensate for it with breaks. Do you have a good dancer? What's your kill order? I did Fujin first, and then Raijin while the Burst RW was still in effect, and finished with Seifer.
