Thread: Dress spheres

  1. #1

    Default Dress spheres

    Hey everyone, this is my 1st thread, so I hope I do it right.

    I was wondering what dress spheres everyone uses for each character?

    This is what it did;

    Yunaunner, White mage, Black Mage
    Rikku:Theif, Alchemist, Black mage, trainer
    Paine: Warrior, Beserker

    I'm only halfway through my second time playing the game and I still havn't even gotton every dress sphere, so it would be great to see what everyone recomends. Thanks

    You can pretty much get by with just the Gunner, Dark Knight, and Alchemist dresses. Berserker is great in the Via Infinito for fighting those big dragon creatures that stalk the halls (can't recall the name at the moment.) And the Lady Luck dress is great for collecting items, money and experience. This is especially useful for that one insect infested dungeon where you need to fight the insects for explosives to continue. With three Lady Lucks instead of getting 1 bomb you get 8. And if you were going to receive 3 you would get 24. Quite a time saver.

    To expand on the Berserker strategy: When you master berserker (or get close to mastering I don't have the list of skills and prerequisites with me) you can automatically dodge and counterattack. So long as it is not Oversouled your berserkers will automatically evade and counter every attack. You don't even need to fight, though I suggest either using Berserk on all three or holding down "X" and switching your TV from input to your favorite show for a few minutes.

    But outside of those few I haven't found anything exceedingly useful, though I have mastered every dress sphere other then Mascot. I hear that is useful, I never got a lot of use out of it.

    yuna is good as a mascot or alchemist-- fine healing spheres
    rikku as lady luck
    paine as samuraixD

    Umm Here is a Great Deal

    Yuna: Black Mage
    Rikku: Alchemist
    Paine: Warrior

    Paine is your main Attacker with the help of a black mage for those high defence monsters and little rikku is your healer.

    Three Mascots are the best for attacks and such, and three Ladies Luck are great for leveling and collecting items/gil.

    Haven't beat it fully yet, but I know that whatever spheres I have, All 3 of them have mastered them. Even their Special Dresspheres. The only one not mastered is the Gun Mage (Blue Magic) because I can't be bothered toi get them all.

    Alchemist, Berserker (with haste), and gun mage.

    Actually, assigning the girls specified roles (healer, physical attacker, and so on) serves no real purpose, since statistical variance is determined by the Dressphere, not the character. Recall that...

If they share the same level and the same job, then all stats, including max HP and max MP, will be completely identical. For example, a level 99 Warrior, with no statistical augmentation via accessories or Garment Grids, will have 4122 max HP, 168 max MP, 168 Strength, 132 Defense, 54 Agility, 6 Evasion, 56 Magic, 13 Magic Def., 103 Accuracy, and 13 Luck. This is the case for all three girls, which suggests that there are no inherent bonuses to any of the statistics (Paine is not actually stronger than Yuna or Rikku, Rikku is not actually faster than Yuna or Paine, and so on).

    In terms of battle, then, variety is based solely on job class. However, jobs with different abilities for the girls also have different statistics. Thus, the Trainer, Mascot, and Special Dresspheres could be used to differentiate among Yuna, Rikku, and Paine (only in those cases). With Trainer, all three have identical HP and MP, but different statistics. With Mascot and the Special Dresspheres, there is variety in all areas.
    As to Dressphere progression, the game is easy enough that you can work on or master each job in pretty much whatever order you desire. Certain Dresspheres are obviously better, especially in the latter stages of the game, but I would recommend using whichever jobs give you the most enjoyable gaming experience.

    there is a point in assigning them dresspheres, having the stats is one thing, what about abbilities? If i put Paine as a Wht mage, she my have good stats, but she would only know Vigour, Pray & Cure! If you keep a character in a certain dressphere, they'll learn all the good abilities. I dunno WHAT Id do if Yuna hadn't gotten Lvl3 Wht magic as a wht mage.

    Once you aquire those AP Eggs (3x ability points earned) Mastering Dresses doesn't take that long. The effect doesn't stack, equipping two on the same character is no better then one but each girl can use one. It only takes a third of the time to master abilities. The only jobs it doesn't work for are Floral Fallal, Full Throttle, and Machina Maw. For the purpose of mastering jobs faster it makes sense to assign one job to each girl, but once mastered there's no reason to keep Yuna in a support role or Paine as a combat character.
