FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Ultimate Rufus mastery party:



Pretty easy, but somebody will probably die due to Dispel. In my case, I lost Barret really early, though he fulfilled his medals duty with Grenade Bomb (-50% DEF to all) before he was dusted. It might just be luck, but Rufus crits a lot. I brought Reflect on Aeris but I think a knight with Banishing Strike and Saint's Cross would've been better, especially because Maduin was only hitting Rufus for about 3.5k x2. I guess I was hoping his pet would reflect some buffs at me, but he never used them once Reflect was in play. Because of the pet's Dispel, you might want to go with a bunch of dance breaks to help people stay alive through the initial blitz. Once the pet is dead, Rufus is pretty non-threatening. Sentinel might be cool here because it'd draw Dispel and I think it'll maintain the 200% DEF boost since it's a physical buff, much in the same way Draw Fire and Retaliate can't be dispelled. Rufus has way less RES than Shooterboob so magic should be viable.

Now it's time to devise an Ultimate+ Hojo party and see how that goes. I was thinking Gilgamesh would be pretty potent since Hojo has physical counters and multi-hitters.

Holy physical attacks will hit Cheddargoob harder than Diaga, generally speaking, especially because there are so few MND weapons for FF6 and no MND-boost effects. Cheekymook's RES/DEF disparity is bigger than ever. Like I said, Holy, with a coefficient of 12 (compared to Diaga's 8.3), was only doing 8k damage for me with an off-record weapon. You need about 375 MND, Mental Breakdown, and Full Break to achieve 10k damage with Diaga, and 375 MND is actually pretty difficult to come by in FF6. Meanwhile, my Edgar was hitting for 20k with Saint Cross. Not to mention, Shatnerspock's magic counter is the nastier of the two.

Looks like we're getting a lucky draw in the next few days, for the nightmare gate.

The lesson is: read the announcements. The double greens bonus schedule was in the initial announcement for the chocobo shop.

Gamespot Thread

SaGa 4: Masters of the Demon World would benefit from a little more attention. It's another one from psy_wombats and bob_esc and it hasn't gotten a review since the full version was released. Give it a "Retro" category or whatever. Looks like it's been featured before, but I don't know when.

FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Yeah, I can see that being a useful item, especially when the hybrid-elemental abilities start rolling out. The second 6* Black ability is Meltdown, which is Fire/Earth/Wind. And some existing Wind limit breaks that I can think of: Bart'z Blade Wing, Celes's Spinning Edge, Eiko's Withering Winds, and then Luneth's Swordshower next month.

I have 25,610 greens and have only purchased the mythril. I'll get the stamina shards as soon as I can afford all five and am in a situation where I want to keep playing but lack stamina.

Doesn't Oath Veil have an elemental boost of some flavor? Or am I thinking of the wrong item?

Sickening Article about Game Development and the "Wage Slave" Attitude

That's a shitty opinion, but if that really makes you physically ill then you don't have the fortitude to make it through life.

FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Hidon's damage is surprising, and is the reason why my Chadarnook clear was later than I wanted. I had to redo it because I didn't expect so much physical damage and didn't bring Protectga or Stoneskin. I would suggest bringing Exhausting Polka, Protectga, and a Sentinel Guard/Stoneskin roamer, and then focus-firing Hidon. Alternatively, you can bring a Draw Fire/Retaliate tank like Gilgamesh to deal with the physical damage.

I am surprised you doubled up the holy damage on Cecil instead of splitting it with Edgar. With Magic Breakdown and Full Break you probably didn't need Magic Lure.

I think I already have over 100 Mythril again, because of the daily dungeon reset. I'll be pulling on Basch 1 next, and then probably Desch 1, but maybe 2. Then Kuja 2.
