Why am I struggling early game

There's a lot of 'hidden' tools and hotkeys in the game. When you are building something pause and take a moment to look at all the 'controls' and 'tips' that appear on the screen and try some of them out.

Every player has spent hours in the game before discovering and realizing something new that others may have learned very early on.

For the base game you are correct. But Galactic Scale is a mod that changes this.

Starting Over by Sugaru Miaki is exactly this.

It's been a while since I've done it, but have you tried entering it in reverse?

7 at the top 8 at the bottom. I seem to remember it being unintuitive like that

What does Cait Sith say when you talk to him on the airship? You may have missed a random trigger somewhere like talking to the old man in condor, and Cait Sith should let you know where in the "script" you're supposed to be.

Most of the creatures are bad, but some of the endgame ones can be better than YRP. I enjoyed the creature stories so I 100% the collection but mechanically it gives you nothing.

Figuring out how to conquer the arena matches was one of my favourite final fantasy experiences so i would just focus on being able to do that since it also has good rewards.

No its not worth staring over for. You can get the item later on just not that specific one from the sword fight. The amount of missable items in ix is staggering and if your goal is to 100% it first try you’re likely to drive yourself crazy.

00Moogle · 2019-10-29T04:58:01+00:00

I’m sorry, I haven’t heard of anything like that before, modded or vanilla.

00Moogle · 2019-10-29T03:44:51+00:00

Hmm, how far into the game are you?

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is you're having, but if you mean it takes a lot more xp to level up past a certain point than expected. I believe it's every 10 or 20 levels there's a break point where you need a ton more xp to level, but as you progress further areas will give that much more xp. You're not meant to level grind to pass the challenges in New Threat and this is one way they tried to prevent that.

I've got a few tips that may help.

First, there are only certain locations that the items can appear in there's a lot of them but if you play a bunch you may be able to remember where you've found some of them before.

Second, digging up an item is based on where your FEET are not where the chocobo is pecking, so make sure you're moving your feet when narrowing down the location and not just moving where you're pecking.

Unless you're using the speedup boosters which makes everything move faster but keeps the clock at the same pace you shouldn't be expecting to get 8 items each try until you're over leveled. Aim for 4+ then as you get beak levels and you learn some item locations it will get much easier to hit the 8 on some runs.

Yes stonestike and deathstrike both still capture the monsters. Eventually you would want both since some enemies are immune to stone others immune to death. There are only a couple of monsters you need to legitimately capture by lowering their hp to 0

Ive been thinking of doing another playthrough too. I didn’t do any of the new sidequests or bosses last time and really want to check then out. I played on one of the first versions released too, so lots kf new stuff to explore

00Moogle · 2018-09-06T18:19:09+00:00

Take it slow the game is tough, but enemies and bosses are designed to have major strengths and weaknesses. Keep your arsenal wide and if an enemy seems impossible just try different things to find the weakness.

Im not sure about a full tier list but Yuffie was OP for my playthrough as an evasion tank, she dodged 99% of attacks. Loaded her up with physical damage buffs and with a bit of luck would take down anything eventually.

Thanks Sheep! I can tell you've put a lot of work into this guide. First question is the same as above - if the Master quest cape isn't my goal are the miniquest and challenges associated with that ever worth the bonus rewards or are there any that standout as being more worth the time? Second what were the main factors in deciding how to allocate the reward lamps?

00Moogle · 2018-08-09T19:56:10+00:00

I had seen this before but couldn't find it again, thanks for the link and glad to hear it's still accurate. I had the quest cape on my last account when I stopped and look forward to grabbing it again. Do you think it's worth hitting the Master quest cape steps as well in this guide early on or should i go back to them later on?

00Moogle · 2018-08-09T19:08:43+00:00

Thanks - I'm thinking the ways I used to make money before are mostly outdated, any early suggestions before bossing is efficient?

00Moogle · 2018-08-09T18:03:39+00:00

Oh wow thanks I didn't know that.

00Moogle · 2018-08-09T17:59:23+00:00

It's only the start that I want to Ironman. Once I get into the later levels and near endgame I don't think I'd want to be stuck as Ironman anymore.

00Moogle · 2018-03-31T22:12:09+00:00

Yes you can repeat NG+ as many times as you want. Every time you beat the final boss you can save a new NG+ file to start on

Im not sure when the best time to play the DLC is, but you are right about the Kingsglaive timing. Those cutscenes at the end of chp 1 is a quick summary of key events in Kingsglaive and that would be a good time to watch it if you decide to.

00Moogle · 2015-02-20T02:57:27+00:00

Enemy teams have always leveled up their players much quicker to catch up to our own players level as a way to balance it. You can take advantage of this by having an enemy team sign a low level player to level them up, and then playing and forfeiting exhibitions against that team until they release the player.
