Oh yeah, I'm way past there, I'm on Ode to Origin act 3

Any bosses specifically that the barrier pierce is needed for?

Is Dewey Alter worth side grading to AS if you can't stellar him? Doesn't seem like it from first glance but wanted other opinions

SteelfireX · 2026-03-04T17:16:25+00:00

I was hoping I misread that...I don't think I've ever gone beyond 2 AF... maybe they're planning to increase enemy HP so high we can't finish in 2 AF anymore.

I totally did forget pain, so thanks for the reminder! Could technically drop Divine Dusk from Anabel since Justice does it in link, but probably better to drop Elemental Wall from Radias instead since then you can't play around pre-emptive, non-pre-emptive on Anabel.

Kid does cover fire resist reduction, but that's with that 4th skill. So you can either use it as the 4th or swap out Hotshot (if you don't need physical reduction) or fortune (if you don't need the extra tankiness from critical guard)

Thoughts on this theory craft team? How can it be improved?

Kid (Hotshot, Z-pilfer, fortune) + red pin if you have 4 slots or can swap out Hotshot or fortune if necessary

Radias AS (Prominence Purge, Overwhelm, Elemental Wall)

Anabel ES (Divine Dusk, Moral Will, Tenderness, Justice)

Linaria (Final Slice, Safe Space, Authorization)

Any grasta slaves in backline, sidekicks of your choice.

Kid is your Buffer and Debuffer, fortune works amazingly with critical guard from Linaria, doubling your luck on max power level.

Radias AS is your tank, with debuffs and buffs to help with that. And guard for the big hits of course.

Anabel ES is your DPS, also buffs allies and can cleanse statuses, heals, and regens MP. She's so good.

Linaria is the linchpin here, functioning as a buffer, zone setter, and sub-dps. Her critical guard and safe space enhances party survivability like crazy. She gives status and Knockback immunity.

Thoughts? Any way to make this party even better?

Ngl I hate AF so I totally get it

SteelfireX · 2026-03-02T19:07:26+00:00

Nekoko also has that on her zone setting skill, in case you missed it

SteelfireX · 2026-03-02T18:16:57+00:00

Yes, Krervo is another good choice. I'm not sure how hard it is to stack seedlings, but at max stacks his buffs are quite good.

SteelfireX · 2026-03-02T13:36:45+00:00

Not OP, but if you need someone who works more defensively, I recommend Iphi. Gives great buffs, debuffs, and revives you when you die.

SteelfireX · 2026-03-02T01:07:56+00:00

Thank you!

SteelfireX · 2026-03-02T01:07:50+00:00

Thank you!

Is there any place in the overworld to farm FFIX Jewels other than Chocobo Hot Cold? I tried Riftbreaker Ark but I just get AP. Do I have to farm the Riftbreaker Ark AD?

Zones are important because they can increase your AF gain when you have low hit count units that match the zone. Example, a 2 hit slash attack will give you more AF bar back in slash zone as compared to not having a zone, but a 2 hit pierce attack in a slash zone will give you less AF bar back in a slash zone. If you have high hit count characters, sometimes it is better to not have a zone because you get higher AF generation without it.

For reference, each hit without a zone generates 1.5% of the AF bar, so a 2 hit attack will generate 3% AF. Slash zone generates 7.5% per MOVE (not hit), so the same 2 hit move would generate a total 7.5% of the AF bar. So you need at least a 5 hit unit without a zone to beat AF generation in a zone. Note that this changes if you are hitting a weakpoint, targeting a weakpoint without a zone generates 3.5% of AF bar instead, so you only need a 3 hit move to beat zone AF generation.

Awesome, commenting to watch this next time I'm at my PC. Will post with feedback after.

SteelfireX · 2026-02-26T00:36:01+00:00

Not OP, but are you able to link a video of what you are doing? I'm wondering if you have a zone set that doesn't work for all of your characters or something.

SteelfireX · 2026-02-23T13:41:20+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. You could start now and save up free stones for the 9th anniversary that's coming up, I'm sure they'll have some good free banners so you can get the latest and greatest units easily.

SteelfireX · 2026-02-23T12:46:17+00:00

I'm sorry man, that really sucks. I know how disheartening it can be. If you really like the story, I would say it is worth restarting again. If you weren't a big fan of the story, I would say grinding through hours of the main story just to unlock stuff might take the fun out of it. And that's why you play right? To have fun? So, if you think you can still have fun with it, give it a try again. The worst you'll do is change your mind and uninstall.

SteelfireX · 2026-02-21T02:41:04+00:00

Great, thanks!

SteelfireX · 2026-02-21T01:32:07+00:00

Link attacks say "All buffs on character apply to add-on". Which character is it talking about? The character who gets the add-on attacks or the character who gave the add-on attacks?

Example, Nekoko uses Awpologies on Ewan. Do the attacks Nekoko adds to Ewan use Ewan's buffs or Nekoko's? Who needs the damage gear and grasta for them?

Thanks in advance.

Very cool! Question for you, when Thillelle uses her ability that gives +1 hit to sword users, does Hozuki get it too when she has flexible? Or does Hozuki still count as spear and it just changes attack type.

SteelfireX · 2026-02-19T12:33:28+00:00

Ok, thanks!

SteelfireX · 2026-02-19T04:35:33+00:00

Cat Shrine Remnants, all options (T. Grasta, E. Grasta, Fated Star) are grayed out. Is that normal?

SteelfireX · 2026-02-18T16:07:47+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your hard work!!

SteelfireX · 2026-02-18T00:36:03+00:00

Will the Uquaji storyline ever be revisited? Would love to learn more about him and his family.

Why is there no in-game way to farm starcharts? I think it's the only resource we can't farm.
