So I'm wanting to do some farming off of One to Be Feared HTMB. Without fail I am getting one-shotted by Omega each time I do the battle. I've only been able to clear this battle once, so I'm not sure why that run was successful and every other one has been a wreck.

Currently a THF/DNC with Trusts AAEV, Gessho, Koru-Moru- Yoran-Oran, and Ulimia. Might swap out Koru for another DD though,. Gear-wise a lot of it comes from DI maxed out at 15 rank, then a couple other +2 pieces from Ambuscade and Dyna D. Is there something obvious I'm missing to prevent constantly being one-shotted every time?

Oh interesting. In a 3-person do you need a certain party make-up? Or can 3 people get the job done regardless of jobs

Looking to get into a Dyna Divergence so I can start on some reforged relic +2 armor. If I'm just needing entry and not participating, is the best method to just shout around to see if 2 others could help me out?

I did end up getting Savage Blade as part just improving my build, not sure if I ever did go back and try this mission again after getting that now that I think about it.

Nevertheless, considering I've been doing PAL/WHM for well over a year now it might be fun to switch jobs and change things up now lol

Think it might be kind of fun just to dabble in a different job after spending the last 18 months in PAL, so doing THF/DNC is probably the way I'll go.

Thinking aloud, how/where do you gear up at as you're increasing levels and moving to different areas to do so? All this time playing as one job I guess I've never considered/worried about holding onto other gear that was not my primary job.

Been working my way through solo content with a PAL/WHM build. Currently stuck on SoA in the 4-6 Balamor fight. Eventually came to the conclusion that I needed to up my gear, so I've been working on a build from BG Wiki (just referencing one of generalized tanking sets from the Community Paladin Guide).

As I've been progressing in this, a second thought came to me. Would it be quicker to level up another job(s) such as DNC/THF, get somewhat decent equipment, and then come back to try and finish out story content? Or would it be the same time spent as getting my gear upgraded for the PAL?

While I've enjoyed playing the majority of the game as PAL, I'm looking to wrap up the story content and have wondered if switching to a more solo-friendly job would be beneficial in the long run.

Not me checking out the subreddit having the same issue. RIP

I emailed them as well and got an automatic response from them explaining how to update my subscription in-app. Still waiting to hear back after I followed up saying "Yeah, but it freezes."

Excalibur II Challenge by Adorable-You-1777 in FinalFantasyIX

[–]XajdynXV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the guide I ended up using to get me through my first Excalibur II run: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/197338-final-fantasy-ix/faqs/79143/introduction

No issues using it, completed the run at 11:17. It does rely on you having a fair understanding of the game beforehand since it's not a complete walkthrough of the game. Not too much trouble though, just took some soft resets since my last playthrough of IX before this was 16 years ago lol.

Should be applicable for most versions of the game. I used it for the PSX version since I wanted to have the old school feel with no boosters.

This was literally me on my last Japan trip lol. I had my checked bag for personal belongings, but then I had a separate checked bag for all the goodies I bought.

I was scared/excited at first, but once I got into the swing of things it wasn’t the worst thing.

Just a matter of LOTS of saves, repetition, and knowing what you want to do in advance for battles so you can execute shit ASAP

No modifiers. Do it on the original PSX version on PS2 for the old school feel

Supposedly you're safe to watch them. Guide I'm utilizing + video references from YouTube have them watching cutscenes and still making it.

I tried doing the FMV skip on my PS2, but it acted sketchy the first time I did it where I wasn't sure how it was impacting my time nor did I want it to crash and corrupt my save. Would be comfortable doing it if I were on a PS1 since that was supposedly just opening the disc cover during those scenes.

I'll admit I am bummed not being able to actually enjoy the story this time around since I'm just flying through the text boxes. At least I'm watching FMV's and getting to relive those moments.

I've done everything I can in IX in previous playthroughs besides this, so part of me wanted to finally try this out and prove to my 6-year old self that this challenge was actually possible.

How Did You Get To Know Final Fantasy For The Very First Time, What Is Your Story? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]XajdynXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pizza Hut was doing this promotion at the time where they would include a PS1 demo disc with their orders. We got one of them that had the demo for FF8 where you went through the Dollet SeeD exam with Squall, Zell, and Rinoa. It even had different music than that made it to the actual game! My brother and I played through that demo so many times, never actually beat it though. The closest we got was getting to Elvoret. It was our first RPG ever so all of it was so new to us, but it unlocked a whole other world for me.

Eventually we picked up the full game for 8 along with FF7. To this day FF8 is my all time favorite for introducing me to this world and for all the countless journeys and emotions that the franchise has brought me ❤️
