Default Job and Garment Grid GoGo!

[LunarWeaver]

I don't have to worry about Itchy and Scratchy, then

I beat Shiva yesterday. Just took some leveling. I was trying to pummel her at level 35, which I'm sure is possible, but getting to level 41 made a world of difference. All my ladies needed was some good old-fashioned, tyrannical slave work.

I'll probably beat it today or tomorrow. Maybe a few days. Depends on how hard Vegnapooty ends up being.

My Burst Shot has begun to do more than On the Level D: That's probably a sign we would call not fabulous.

D:! That's craaaazy!

As for the whole thief being crapola ordeal.

The initial double attack damage is extemely low unless you critical... I THINK Criticals are dealt through luck/chance... of which thief has the most of.
(The Garment Grid that looks like a star... of which I don't remember the name of xD!... Change through that ^^~ it gives a critical at level 17-19 (D:!) about 90% of the time...) ... Luck itself stays about the same for the theif from level 1 till 99 :\...

To bad you can't use non-first step GG in this playthrough D:!

If memory serves, it's a status ailment that makes it impossible to spherechange.

That's the Curse Effect. Itchy forces you to dressphere change.

[Roogle]

I think that Itchy and Curse are relatively rare status effects. I recall players going through the entire game and never being inflicted with Itchy.

[BG-57]

Which is why I don't remember it too well.

[sleepy_shadow]

A lot of the 'Ochu' beasties inflict itchy, and so does the 'Ultima Weapon' beasty.

[LunarWeaver]

I put Ochus in soup before they have a chance to move! And by that I mean I avoid them.

I'm at the Farplane. Sweet soggy pixiestick, the Magus Sisters were smurfing haaard.

I might have to do a little more leveling. When I chain a lot, Pilfer HP actually does quite a bit. Enough that it heals her without using a potion and hurts them, anyway. Not saying I use it as my attack or anything, but just saying. Just SAYING, Tavrobel.

This has actually been a lot of fun. Although I had to skip most of the cutscenes because I've seen them so many times. And because they do too many poses for my mental health.

[sleepy_shadow]

That's no kidding. Yuna does the whole 'hands on hips leaning back defiant' pose in almost every cutscene. It's enough to make ya gag the 3,000000000000 time she does it (in one playthrough . . .)
Nice work on making it to the farplane.

UH-OH, I beat this a few days ago but was too lazy to say anything until now. Turns out Vegnagun was actually pretty easy. My problem is I hoard all my items even at the end of games. It's like I get all these mega-elixers then never even use them. Oh well.

Here's me beating Shuyin if anyone gives a flying duchess.

This was a lot of fun. I didn't do any sidequests or level up too much, making it fairly difficult. I loaded my New Game + after and realized how boring it is when it's that easy.

Thanks to anyone who bothered coming in here and checking it out Maybe someone else will do it before this thread gets old or something.

[Seraphic]

I saw your shuyin defeat a couple hours ago and was impressed greatly <3
I might do this some day and tell you about it on a post-it.
You sir,are made of greatness.
Still think it needs more Berserker dressphere.

Grats !

I think that the game seems to flow better from a storyline standpoint when you leave out the aspect of dresspheres and all of that. If I attempt to have the characters play only as their default job, I would likely use better Garment Grids and load them up with the same job class. If I remember correctly, you can do that, right?

[Markus. D]

It's possible, but requires multiple playthroughs.

And is quite pointless if you plan on gate passing all gates (in most Garment Grid Cases).

[LunarWeaver]

Like Mika-chan says, you can put multiple Dress Spheres on one Grid, but you have to play through multiple times to get more than one. But it's not like going through those nodes is all that great. I'd just slap them on for the bonus and call it a day myself.

And it really did flow better using only those three . It was kinda fun, in an odd way, to see their cutscene selves match up with their battle selves throughout the entire plot, too.

[Roogle]

I think the goal would be to allow all of the characters to use their default job without having to switch to other dresspheres and still allow the use of powerful Garment Grids with abilities only activated by passing through all of the nodes.

I always thought that it looked very inconsistent to have them constantly dress in the default gear, yet somehow change fast enough in time for a battle. I guess it would have looked a little weird with some job classes walking around casually. Trainer? Berserker? Psychic?
