Hmm, possibly a stupid question. *Spoilers possible I guess*

Aye I knew the dragoon, just wanted to... make it spoilerfree as I could since I didn't have the spoiler tag.

Currently in Baron again and Yang joined the party. The two kids are cute

I was beginning to think this was going to be like Tactics, where (SPOILER)everyone dies every 5minutes.... and the death toll for the game is in the hundreds.... but at least Yang is alive, and no one else is dead it looks like... Not sure if Rydia lived..

Ok I was wrong... (SPOILER) Porom...... Palom..... Rydia probably too... The king.... so many dead.. Yep, I'm going to be like Tellah... Golbez is definately DEAD... So IV is like Tactics... in which everyone in the story except 10 characters die..?

Also the damage in this game seems a bit random.. sometimes Yang will hit for 50, other times 300....
But it is definately getting a little harder for my lvl 20-22 party as we just got asked by Kain to go get a crystal. Nothing super hard.. but mini sure does lower defense..... MINI! /slash for 400 damage.



Hate to double post... but... an edit doesn't bump the topic.. and don't really want to create a new one.

level 26-28ish.. and just easily beat the 3 sisters...
Quite easy actually.

Yet... the boss after them... 500 max melee attack, Petrify over time... Casts Wind at random while in Tornado to bring a character to 1-9hp,
(I don't attack with anyone else but Kain, and still does Wind 1-2 times before Kain stops the boss.

Rosa is 700hp, the rest are 1000-1400... any special hints here?
I can't remember if Rosa has armor or not, will try casting more of that, but the boss attacks just insanely fast....

I'm assuming the simplest answer is to go gain another 5 levels like I did for the Mangetic fellow.... as the dragon there killed Telah in one hit, then my other characters pretty much died trying to get Tellah back up. 5 levels and a group armor later, and he wasn't as bad.

Seems IV is the story of Tactics combined with the difficulty of FF1.
ie... things hit very hard and you aren't meant to just go through a dungeon fighting every single battle because it will severely drain your MP... and things just hit very hard compared to later FFs?

Is a nice challenge after playing FFX... which had less challenge... until the arena.

Edit by Kishi: Don't double-post. This forum isn't so busy that you need to worry about your thread getting lost in the shuffle anyway.
