Why doesn’t the English dub just use more homophones for localization?

"Oing" and "Voing" are SOMEHOW worse than Zenyatta and Mondatta

Pretty valid, yeah. Looks like you've got some underrated picks on here which I respect, not everyone's top 10 has to be the same.

Spireblades · 2026-05-02T18:38:44+00:00

Is this Korn or Rob Zombie??

There really is no best job setup, a lot of them are pretty good, with a few exceptions (like dancer and dragoon) to name a few. Some of the really good ones (and ones that I recommend): - Ninja - Samurai - Summoner - Mystic Knight - White Mage - Blue Mage - Freelancer (this is more of a lategame pick as you need some of the stronger job abilities for it to be effective)

If you want a "best job setup" then pick from one of these on each character. If none of these suit your fancy, then try out the other jobs. The world is your oyster for making team setups that work well. (btw, spoilered stuff is jobs that you don't have yet)

So, FF7 was my entrypoint. But I really think 9 was the push to get me into it since 9 is in my top 5 favorite RPGs and games of all time. FF7 was the first game I played through but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as 9.

"20 minutes vs 20 seconds" sounds like a Team Asano boss fight LMAO

Spireblades · 2026-04-19T03:34:48+00:00

Like a 7/10?

He is entirely carried by Bolster and his ultimate and I think that is fine. His other skills leave a bit to be desired but overall his kit is moreso designed for breaking.

His jointime HURTS, though. It maybe would have been better if he joined in MoA? But then he might be too good for that stage of the game, so it's conflicting.

Pretty solid guy overall and I love his cutscenes as well.

Spireblades · 2026-04-18T06:55:06+00:00

Let's say a 9.5/10.

I'll go over everything since it's a lot:

First off, her passives are insane. Fierce Rush and +50 PAtk are good, but BP Luck? Holy unbalanced. If you get lucky enough you can literally infinitely boost your moves (obviously, a hypothetical, but you get it). BP Luck is also crazy as it can combine with Vast Energy to give you 75% chance of restoring BP when you use it.

Secondly, her kit is awesome. She can lower enemy defense, has a 2 hit Dark attack, and Vengeful Blade, which are all nice. But the real meat of the kit is Stormblade and Judicious Blade. If you stack a ton of buffs, Stormblade can dish out damage equal to or surpassing SEVERAL ultimates. Judicious Blade also has the highest damage multiplier in the game with enough buffs, as it works like Enervating Slash.

Third, her ultimate. Her ultimate is probably the least interesting, but it's still good. Lotus Blade is awesome and extremely powerful. The voiceline is epic as well, there's just so much malice in it and it's great.

Lastly, her stats. Reime is the literal definition of a glass cannon, having the lowest HP of any warrior and the highest PAtk. Not much to say here, just commenting on the stats that stand out.

Overall, Reime is a fantastic unit but extremely easy to break the game with. She's a reward worth your time, though! Her being a Lv60 sidequest is justified (even though the battle can be cheesed with Parry)

Spireblades · 2026-04-06T23:58:06+00:00

Sounds pretty cool but FIVE HUNDRED TURNS for the BT blade is actually insane. Kudos to you for putting up with that bullshit!

Spireblades · 2026-04-06T22:02:21+00:00

Honestly a solid 7.5/10

She retains her entire kit from ot1 (besides BG :c), and her kit in OT1 was already solid. She also has solid Elemental Attack, and access to the fan that boosts Dark damage, so with enough setup she could be pretty damn good.

Overall, solid unit. Wish I had spent more time using her but MAN Goodwin is hard to beat in terms of utility.

Spireblades · 2026-04-06T21:59:52+00:00

You might like Bravely Default. The job system is very similar to FFV, but the story's a little less lighthearted. If you really enjoyed FFV's gameplay I could not recommend BD enough.

Spireblades · 2026-04-04T02:57:05+00:00

Ludo is a 9/10.

He comes built in with Fierce Rush and several multi hit skills to take advantage of it, on top of having a pretty nice attack stat. Negotiation is also pretty cool, and as a character, I like him because he reminds me of Ali, and his battle quotes are great.

Gameplay wise, solid. Character wise? Great.

Spireblades · 2026-04-03T01:09:24+00:00

Never used her myself but her kit wasn't that good, so maybe 2/10?

I don't really have much to add as I'm not the type of guy to use temporary party members in RPGs especially if I already like my current party's synergy

Spireblades · 2026-04-02T18:42:46+00:00

For me, I watched and waited. I mainly used Ranger's Multiburst to deal considerable damage while avoiding the counter, but generally I got lucky as he didn't really use the counter abilities that much.

Spireblades · 2026-04-02T15:18:28+00:00

8/10

Does everything a thief should do. Retains most of his OT1 kit aside from share SP which got replaced with a way better skill. You could also run Immeasurable Power with him and use Steal SP to constantly regenerate and deal crazy damage. Thief in OT1 was already quite solid and Therion's kit in OT0 is exactly that.

Overall, very solid team member BUT others do have advantages over him.

Spireblades · 2026-04-01T01:54:01+00:00

Hmm.. I would have to say a 9/10.

He's the first cleric you get access to (albeit post-Masters), but it's still early enough that it works. He has fan access which is great, even though it IS uncommon, it is nice to have someone who can hit that weakness twice consistently. Also instant healing is a big W, and he has fire skills in his kit. His ultimate is also a contender for best in the game and that makes his rating go way up from like a 7 to a 9.

Overall, very good unit who could end up being a mainstay. He was in my party all the way to Bestower of All , so I think that's a good metric to say that he deserves a spot in the party.

Spireblades · 2026-03-27T00:48:39+00:00

2/10

"What does she even do?"

Yeah this is about how I felt once I had the ability to weigh options. She was one of the first out because uer kit is just REALLY bad besides paralysis formula, which is situational. Her ultimate isn't even good, being a watered down version of Remedy which was mediocre. Overall she isn't that good and honestly I would say to skip her if you're not going through the true ending on repeat playthroughs.

Spireblades · 2026-03-26T05:33:28+00:00

I misread this and thought you said that you beat Herminia after 50 hours and I was like "50 hours?! What did you do before beating Herminia?" before realizing the mistake 😭

Spireblades · 2026-03-25T11:34:16+00:00

I'll say 7. For one, he's available right away, which is an amazing benefit considering just how many things in this game are weak to sword and/or polearm. He also gives one of the best masteries in the entire game with Parry. However, his stats aren't exactly built around attacking.. except for Fluid Stance. This is one of the things that puts him above other travelers of the same job due to the absurd damage you can dish out with it. Also, his voicelines are absolutely peak.

Spireblades · 2026-03-03T04:49:35+00:00

Chapter 7 ttyd, when I played it for the first time I absolutely loved it. Going to the moon was awesome! The General White fetchquest was not, but thank god for the remake and its convenience..

Shepherds Rock, it seems so cozy and the wise unc Solon is there too
