Opinion: Your idea of the ultimate armor.

[-N-]

For my perfect save, I have two armors I consider to be "ultimate armors".

One is Break HP Limit / Auto-Protect / Auto-Shell / Auto-Haste. The other is Auto-Med / Berserkproof / Confuseproof / Deathproof. Sometimes I wonder whether it should be Deathproof or Stoneproof, but I picked Deathproof in the end. Anyways, the first is basically for fighting Nemesis, and the second is for fighting bitches with status attacks. The second armor is impervious to everything except Stone, and the first is basically an auto Super Mighty Guard.

Anyways, what would you consider your ultimate armor/s to be? Specify what version you're playing too, by the way. I'm playing the North American release, so I don't have any of your nifty PAL extras. :\

I have PAL, and are currently working towards Break HP Limit, Ribbon, Auto-Haste and Auto-Phoenix for Tidus/Wakka/Rikku.

I think Auto-Pheonix,Ribbion,Break Hp limit,Break Mp limit.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I think Auto-Pheonix,Ribbion,Break Hp limit,Break Mp limit.

There's several reasons why Break MP limit can be useless on a characer. For starters there's not many battles in the game you can't win in a few hits once powered up. Those few that take longer (Omega Weapon, certain Arena creations, Dark Aeons and Penance) you can simply use a Three Stars to eliminate the MP cost. Plus the two "spellcasters" in the game, Lulu and Yuna, both get 1 MP cost on their weapons (though obviously Yuna's is much easier to obtain compared to lulu). In all honesty there isn't a battle in the game whereby you'll have to cast nine hundred and ninety nine spells. Add into this the fact that all the +MP nodes needed to max out MP are much better suited to maxing out HP, Break MP limit just becomes even less of a necessity. Infact I'd go as far as to say it's one of the weaker abilities in the game.

I concur with Break MP Limit being useless. I only max the Sphere Grid to accommodate 999 MP. Even so HP can't max out past ~66000 if all other stats are to be maxed.

there is no one perfect armor, but it is useful for your characters to have slightly different armours to accomodate for certain things. eg, i loaded out my characters with a few combinations. all had BHPL and most had Auto-haste and Ribbon (if i could get it). the extra slot (or possibly two) was devoted to a few different ability like Auto-Pheonix or Auto-Protect, both which are very useful. those are really all the abilities you'll need.

Some people actually argue that BHPL is also not necessary, as through complex defensive techniques there is no attack in the game which can cause more than 9999 damage to your characters. i prefer to just have it though.

i always used to strive to have BHPL on armour, til i got lots of info proving it is totally unnecessary. my personal setup:

- ribbon
- auto-phoenix
- alchemy
- auto haste

auto-phoenix + alchemy = as soon as anyone dies they are brought back with full life
