FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Arghhh, want that Squall weapon too. Tough choice. Good thing I ran out of stamina first.


I try to act like I don't want something specific, but deep down it hurts when I don't get that item. I didn't want Squall's weapon. My next pull will be on FF9's second banner.

And these are my results. Pretty good overall. I never checked if Squall or Seifer can use guns, but I assume Laguna can once he comes out, which is good because now I have two FF8 guns. The bracer looks pretty nice--has a group heal attached to it so it's always nice to get more of those (that makes Mystery Veil, Lullaby Rod, and Esthar Bracer). The dagger looks pretty weak, but at the same time having a good dagger for each realm is kind of important, I think, since it's a weapon type everybody can use. Out of the 4-star items, I was able to merge that FF13 fist with another one so now I have a 4+ fist for Snow whenever the next FF13 stuff rolls around--so that's good. The other 4-star items are for things I've already combined, although I might hold on to that Gravity Rod since FF6 has quite a few mages and my 4++ Gravity Rod is my only superb FF6 mage weapon right now.

Mastered Necrophobe in one go with this party. I dropped Galuf for Yuna in order to have a group heal, both elemental and AoE damage, and Carbuncle. Plus, Galuf is only sporting a 3++ Gaia Hammer which is fine but not enough to justify his poor utility. Terra had Mystery Veil just in case, but the group heal was never needed. Yuna used the Mako Might materia so she would have Hymn of Faith ready to go at the beginning, which turned out to be a really good idea.

I missed all the medals in Damage Taken because I ate a few AoEs before I could get Shellga and RW Sentinel's Guard up, and also because of Necrophobe's Vacuum Wave. Necrophobe took longer than I wanted because he managed to blind Gilgamesh who needed to land Wind Jump for the medals (not to mention the extra damage). I tried five times and then decided I should wait for blind to wear off before gambling the final shot.

I opened up with Shellga, Sentinel's Guard, and Carbuncle. Then I restored HP with Hymn of Faith while proceeding to use Blade Blitz, Ruinga, Yukikaze, and Ifrit to deal damage. Lenna just kind of hung out because the reflects were doing enough damage to the Barrier minions and I wasn't sure how many charges of Diaga I would need against Necrophobe. Once Necrophobe was vulnerable I just switched to all of my elemental attacks since he is weak to everything. He wasn't too bad but I did have to Hymn of Faith again to deal with his AoE damage at one point.

Also, tip: It appears Necrophobe's attacks are all physical, not magical... So bring Protectga instead of Shellga like I did.

Ready to pull for FF8 gear tonight. I read somewhere that there aren't many 3* or 4* FF8 items so pulling on that banner might not be the best idea for synergy since the pickings are slim, so let's hope I get some quality 5* weapons and armor. Currently sitting on 120 mythril.

Edit: Gosh darn it. I thought it was already the 17th.

I'm okay with Sand Worm as long as it doesn't have medals for "Win without triggering Sand Worm's counterattack." The normal dungeon version penalizes you medals for triggering its counterattack, which is horrible, but fortunately the event version doesn't seem to care.


I don't even hate the countering and all that. The fight is easy, just annoying. The reason Rubicante is worse is because he holds that cloak up for an arbitrary length of time. At least when Sand Worm submerges you know he's coming back to the surface soon.

In other words, PM kentona and be polite. He might change it for you.


kentuna, please change Mak-Star's username to Username.

also? gigglemesh? he's SO GOOD lol. that +35% atk on Morphing Time! + his terrific skillset lets him just annihilate foes.

Gilgamesh is quite nice, and is making great use of my Heavy Lance (5-star FF5 spear with Armor Break SB). I like that Bartz can also use bows, because I have a 4++ Giant Axe and a 4++ Hayate Bow that are both excellent in his hands. It means I can either bring in Vaan or Wakka for support and still have a strong weapon for Bartz, depending on what I want to do.

It looks like Sand Worm is in the boss rush, so that's kind of annoying. Not as annoying as Rubicante, though.

I actually had to do big bridge gigglemesh twice because I thought I could do it with just magic break and protectga. lol.

i got lenna's healing rod which has a shitty SB but makes her a goddess of white magic! curagas for 3.5k, diagas for 7k... it's heavenly.

Healing Staff would be a pretty low priority item for me since I already have Judgement Staff... which is usually my white mage weapon regardless of synergy because I am pretty light on Mind weapons. Pretty light on mage weapons overall which is why getting that Lullaby Rod was such a boon. I think on this banner I'd want Galuf's Kaiser Knuckles for that sweet invulnerability.

I have absolutely no clue how scripts work. I'm not a scripter. I can't imagine it would be difficult for someone who knows how to script to write a piece of code for you. Is the system you're using a script that was written by someone else?

Old clip, but I know how to do this. I don't know Ruby, and I'd explain my algorithm but that would require a token of effort that I'm not willing to spend this afternoon. So instead I'll paste my Python function that returns a dictionary of tile coordinates a combatant can move to, along with the cost to move there.

def get_range(character, tilemap, actors):
    open_tiles = {(character.x, character.y) : 0,}
    closed = {}
    enemies = []
    move_range = character.get_stat('Move')
    for actor in actors:
        if actor.faction != character.faction:
            enemies.append((actor.x,actor.y))
    while open_tiles:
        for (x,y) in list(open_tiles):
            total_cost = open_tiles[(x,y)]
            directions = ((x-1,y),(x+1,y),(x,y-1),(x,y+1))
            for d in directions:
            	if d in enemies:
            		continue
                tile = tilemap[(x,y)].tile
                if not tile.passable:
                	continue
                cost = character.get_terrain_cost(tile.properties['terrain'])
                if total_cost + cost > move_range:
                    continue
                if d in open_tiles:
                    if open_tiles[d] < total_cost + cost:
                        continue
                if d in closed:
                    if closed[d] > total_cost + cost:
                        continue
                    else:
                        del closed[d]
                open_tiles[d] = total_cost + cost
            closed[t] = open_tiles[(x,y)]
            del open_tiles[(x,y)]
    return closed

I do like the font itself, though. It has a few seraf spots (I've always found sans-seraf harder to read, personally) but only used to fill out certain letters that would otherwise be too narrow for fixed-width rather than being a feature of the entire font itself.

RMN and SSL (https)

Is this really a good idea? While RMN's server's are much better than they used to be, it still takes awhile to fill a request.
