      Garment grids: So important I mention them twice in the description.

      I vote for triple Festivalist on Gagazet. For three reasons: One, because it's new, two, because each of YRP has a unique skillset with it, and three, so you can put it away afterwards and never look at it again (it's my second-least favorite dressphere). I guess a distant fourth reason is that the 'slot-machine' type functionality of Yuna's variant is kinda fun to use in the early game and is also ridiculously strong if you're decently lucky.

      Alternatively use Brother as one of your party members cause his attack animation is the best thing of all time.

      I find it interesting how in this game you get Al Bhed Primers every time you witness an Al Bhed conversation. Kind of like "you're picking up the language as you hear it"? Makes collecting them feel very distinct from how FFX did it, until you get to digging them up anyways.

      I love the Creature Creator. Countless hours were spent playing around with it. It does clash with the job system though so it's probably best to treat it as its own separate thing and only actually use creatures in the Arena. I wouldn't recommend using it until your levels are in the double digits at least, save for experimenting a bit if you really feel like it.

      Btw you get the Vanguard GG for watching the Garment Grid tutorial.

      Are you guys aiming for 100% Story Completion in a single playthrough?

      Ooh thanks. We'll make sure to have a gander at the tutorial for garment grids! And I suppose triple festivalist can be used if they're unique for each of the characters... I'll have to have a quiet discussion with Matt about this.

      We are hoping to get 100% in one go - we have a 100% guide handy, but I think that may just be for the regular edition, not the Intl. Does it make any difference? xD

      Oh well since you know what you're getting into. And no, the International Edition changes did not have any effect on the Story Completion % whatsoever. Adding a whole second set of percentage points to build up was enough

      @ some point, they should be:

      Yuna-Black Mage
      Rikku-Alchemist
      Paine-Dark Knight

      Jinx said she doesn't like the opening. /calledout The saddest part of the way we do the LP is that we don't get to listen to the rockin' soundtrack.

      I know flim-flam has always been a thing, it's just not been truly hilarious in my mind until I saw the troll face image.


      Brother will be the fourth White Mage.

      No, Psychotic.

      Their punishment must be more severe.

      Real Emotion is kinda my guilty pleasure. Like, I know it sucks, but I can't help liking it. It really works in the opening scene.

      Also, what's your least favorite dressphere Karifean? Trainer? Because that's also fairly useless. I'd even go as far to say Mascot Rikku for just being a poor Mascot in general.

      Is he actually in the party? I didn't know what the hell that meant.

      We don't know.

      I am guessing he can be in the party, as Karifean says he can, and I ain't arguing with that guy. He's like an encyclopaedia. I guess we'll find out soon!

      Guilty pleasure? Sucks? What?

      Ayen feels no guilt. Ayen blast song on radio with the car window rolled down with no shame.

      No. Shame.

      Yep, Trainer. Mascot Rikku at least has the White Mage spells for free, it has the godlike stats typical for Mascots, its Eraser skills come in handy sometimes (albeit VERY rarely) and its ultimate ability is surprisingly accurate. Trainer just goes completely against my preferred style of playing.

      Yeah you can put Brother in your active party by selecting Party Members in the menu. Although you're still limited to three party members at a time. You'll see.

      Trainer is just a poor jill of all trades. There's some elemental attacks, some status attacks, some healing... but it doesn't really excel in all three. And the stat distribution isn't that great. At least the Festivalist is somewhat fun to play with and has a nice HP boost to it.

      Brother is pretty fun to use, for like, a few battles. Like Karifean said, I'd only use the creatures in the Fiend Arena. Some of those battles get astronomically hard quickly.

      So we have 2 sets of votes for 3x Festivalists. Any further votes or do we assume this will be the gagazet team?

      Also, all in favor of replacing Rikku with Brother for the entire game say "aye"!
