So my last playthrough of FFXII I did a sort of class challenge. i say sort of because I got bored a few hours into it and just used whatever I wanted. Well I did keep Basch as a Berserker for most of the game.
Anyway I did much better in this run than I ever have before. I got some nifty new weapons, leveled up way higher than I did when I first beat the game and so I felt confident I was gonna storm the Bahamut and two shot everyone.
All went according to plan with me easily dispatching both Gabranth and Vayne using just one character. Seemed only fair since they stood no chance against my ful party.
I pulled out my whole party for Vayne Novus but still, nothing too hard.
Then The Undying comes up. No sweat I say. Then Basch keeps dying but I'm not too worried. Only he then does one of the boss super moves (I have o idea which one. Maybe it has some sort of laser gun thing? this happened a few months back) and suddenly everyone is dead.
Oh wait, my reserve party at level 15 are still alive.
...or not.
Game over man.
I'm left with a positively derpish look on my face. Apart from being a long drawn out fight, I remember having no issues with him on my very first time through the game. How I could lose when I had superior weapons, levels and knowledge of what I was doing is just...it baffles me. I can only assume I should have taken the thing more seriously.
Hence the topic at hand.
Have you ever been a bit too assured of your abilities in an FF game and it's cost you?
