What Not to Open *treasure Chests*

[Madame Adequate]

Well crap, no spear for me this play then. Oh well. Thanks for the info at any rate.

[XxSephirothxX]

What a dumb idea. Oh well. I'm sure it's quite possible to mop the floor with most everything in the game without one fancy-schmancy spear.

[Khaotic]

Not sure why people keep saying its a dumb idea, gives the game more replay value.

[Raistlin]

Just so you know, the spear doesn't completely disappear. It's just more unlikely to get the spear from that chest if you open the other chests. If you open all four, it's something absurdly low like 1% or even less.

But yeah, it is stupid.

[RedRum]

That means u practically gotta go thru the game witout opening any of the chests if theres no kinda of indication as to which chests are the special ones. Unless you hav the guide.

[Zeromus_X]

This is retarded.

I don't need no stinking Zodiac Spear!

[Rye]

This is retarded.

I don't need no stinking Zodiac Spear!

Exactly. I'll open all the chests I want, I hardly care for my first time playing through. I just wanna get through for story's sake. xD

Same here. I get through for the story's sake and complete all side-quest too.

Because the natural inclination of a player is to seek out and collect as much as they can in a game. Collecting treasures in order to get an ultimate treasure makes sense. Refraining from opening 4 random chests that look the same as ALL the other chests in the game, that are placed about randomly in a fashion identical to ALL the other chests in the game, and then being rewarded for such bizarre and nonsensical behavior is absurd.

I opened those treasure but I still get the Spear.
And I finished collecting my weapon collection.
This means there is always a way to get what you want in FFXII.

The best part is that they're all within the first few hours of the game. So right off the bat, you get to ruin your chances to get a great weapon later.

Kouli's is the best guild. Press ctrl+F and type in "Strongest Halberd" it should be near the bottem

Two ways to get Zodiac Spear (Get it! Its attack is 150. Second strongest weapon:(SPOILER)Tolo Sword: 130 attack, need another 20!!!.

1: Jowy said it all, the last one is the (SPOILER)20 treasure in Phon Coast, don't open any of it. And Zodiac Spear is now available in (SPOILER)Necrohol of Nabudis.
2: (SPOILER)Henne Mines, 10% chance to get it, must equip Diamond Bangle You can't get it during your first visit, get it when you're looking for (SPOILER)the Esper, Zodiac.

Zodiac Spear is a bad name. I like Strongest Halberd better.

[Elfen]

Let me translate them into U.S. Version for me.
(SPOILER)Tournesol - Tolo's Sword
Zodiac Spear - Strongest Halbert.
In my opinion, Tournesol is a better equipment than Zodiac Spear. Why? Because you can equip 2 of the strongest equipment in your character's hands.
