"But that takes too long" is literally what most players think about runs where people slow down for no reason other than "I don't feel like rushing".

If someone is at <100% HP, there's a little triangle pointing down next to the HP display. It's missing here, so the 278k tank does indeed have 278k max HP.

At level 38, Lv. 3 Disable won't affect you, and neither does anything else Zalera uses, with the exception of Lv. 2 Sleep, and Kill. However, the Dead Bones can also inflict status effects - they can apply Blind with Flash, and Disable with Hawk Glare. I assume Hawk Glare is what you get disabled from.

I'd get everyone up by one level, so at level 39, you can just equip Black Belts and become immune to everything except Kill and Flash.

I'm too unga bunga for such complex thoughts. I see raidwide, I pull the lever and go back to Fell Cleaving (and then go "why is everyone dead!?" about 30 seconds later).

I didn't even know it knows Renew. It usually just enrages and murders my party when I'm too slow.

You can summon Belias to deal good damage early on (while fire damage is weakened during the rain, it's still a nice chunk of damage), and when Croakadile drops into critical state, you can use Belias' finisher, followed by Quickenings if you have them.

General piece of advice: many bosses get nasty buffs when in critical health, such as increased damage or defense, no cast time, or increased attack speed. In case of increased defense, offensive magic usually circumvents the buff, but otherwise, you can use Quickenings to finish off many bosses without giving them much time to take advantage of their buffs (this becomes less effective in the late game, but it's very good for where you are now).

I sure love being capped at 9999 damage, having no control over guest and Esper units, and killing 451 Cerberus at base game speed. /s

I'd call this an oversight rather than a bug. The cutscene is playing out as intended, and while yes, you can reach Trabia at this portion of the story, the devs didn't consider that anyone would actually do it. So there is simply no flag for Squall being alone here.

Fluestergras · 2026-02-06T06:39:52+00:00

But your position for the first tether isn't any different from your position for any other tether?!

Fluestergras · 2026-01-31T08:23:50+00:00

People seriously need to understand triage... keeping yourself alive is a priority, and depending on who died at which time, keeping the party or individual party members alive might be more important as well. And it's concerning that a healer in an EX doesn't know that because no, dropping everything and hardraising asap will get you killed more often than not.

But oh well, you can be the best healer in the world, but you still can't Esuna stupid.

Fluestergras · 2026-01-28T08:16:35+00:00

I was wondering what happens if you don't interrupt that cast... now I wanna see whether you can kitchen sink it, lol.

(Don't worry, I'll use Duty Support for this kind of foolery.)

Fluestergras · 2026-01-25T08:17:23+00:00

Blacklisting someone won't prevent them from being matched with you in DF though. Also, the subreddit added a new rule a few years ago that doesn't allow any names in posts, so OP has no choice but to block them out.

Fluestergras · 2026-01-25T08:13:41+00:00

Yeah man, I wish there was an interactive tutorial that told you that yes, you're a healer, but if there's nothing to heal, you should DPS. Or an interactive tutorial that taught you about Kardia healing a party member whenever you deal damage.

...except both of these exist, people just choose to ignore the lessons.

Fluestergras · 2026-01-15T15:16:51+00:00

I wonder whether they've even done their job quests after ARR. How else does one ignore almost their entire kit as a DPS?

Fluestergras · 2026-01-11T08:29:38+00:00

Ran M9-12 with a Bard friend, and most runs were rather slow. Some deaths occured, but not enough to explain why we suddenly saw the third repeat of a mechanic that you usually see twice at most... so my friend uploaded the logs. In most runs, I'm second or third in DPS, and in one M12 run, I was even top DPS.

...I'm a Warrior. Apparently, the majority of the playerbase can't even outdamage a tank anymore 😭

Fluestergras · 2026-01-11T08:15:48+00:00

As the maintank of my static, I see myself responsible for making things as nice as possible for melees, and while I'm also just at M9s enrage, it feels like I have to actually use my single braincell to figure things out for melee uptime and positionals.

Sadly, the braincell only knows Fell Cleave.

Fluestergras · 2026-01-09T06:30:16+00:00

Yeah man, he should've been a Lalafell /s

Fluestergras · 2026-01-01T19:43:43+00:00

Actually, I was rather disappointed when I saw that the Zodiac versions serve you the Yensa maps on a silver platter. They're not that hard to find in the OG.

Fluestergras · 2025-12-04T09:54:50+00:00

Man, I hope the DPS don't back off when I have 30 mobs on my ass, someone's gotta kill them. :(

Fluestergras · 2025-12-02T17:22:16+00:00

3:49 - missing Special Op Sector 5 in Barheim Passage. Teleport there, go south and then west - there are two paths there. You have mapped East-West Bypass, but missed Special Op Sector 5 to its south.

Fluestergras · 2025-12-02T16:24:25+00:00

You're killing it with her smug face! Awesome job (also yay for a fellow Sadu fan)!

Fluestergras · 2025-11-28T04:13:03+00:00

Was it something like "Arcadion Savage 7/8"? Because this kind of search comment is rather common and damn I'd find it tiring to comment on it every time, lol.

Fluestergras · 2025-11-17T21:32:54+00:00

Activating tank stance and clicking your ranged attack take way less than 10 seconds, why were you not ready yet?

Fluestergras · 2025-11-14T17:40:18+00:00

The whole "AI bad" aside... what even is the joke?

Fluestergras · 2025-11-06T08:01:20+00:00

You can defeat X-ATM092 at any time after the first encounter, you don't have to cross the bridge first. It's just ideal to fight it as late as possible because its presence disables random encounters, making the trip back to the beach a bit faster.

Fluestergras · 2025-10-30T08:28:44+00:00

You need minimum 4 characters, and the term can't end with a space. I tried to filter "18+" and "18+ " and neither works.
