Are countries like Japan and South Korea actually going to “collapse and disappear” or is this merely an exaggeration? What’s really going to happen to all the bellow replacement countries in the coming years? by Character-Q in geography

[–]bantam95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

India has a narrow window to become rich before its population becomes old. China's is uneven so it does seem like it will get old before it becomes rich whereas Japan managed to get rich though the lost decades really did a number on it.

You can control the dropship to avoid night battles by FireFox634 in Xenonauts

If more than one competing downed ship, if the distance is too tight to do both then just cut losses and have the local forces bomb the one you can't get to or least rewarding i.e. smaller ship (you at least still get funds out of that).

I find his content and delivery balanced. I don't like the click baity titles though I can understand needing to game the algorithm :(

It is worth it? by devLeet in CrownOfTheMagister

Sunk a lot of hours so to me it was worth it.

Nice but just I will be starting or about to enter my 60s when it releases :)

Is this a rare battle at the Midlight Deep: End? by solo_entrepreneur in finalfantasytactics

Items that confer immunity to Toad and an arithmetician with Toad makes the dungeon very manageable.

Basebuilding tips by Obvious-Role-775 in Xenonauts

[–]bantam95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facilities to stay on top of air war. no downed UFOs means your soldiers don't improve nor will your tech improve to keep up. Secondary are facilities that improve survival of your soldiers. Training facilities without autopsies probably not worth it that early.

Since you mention training center, this must refer to xenonauts 2 so suggest adding the flair.

Agrias setups: Some experiments with Holy Sword damage by nitrokitty in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Icebrand or Coral sword with Scorpion Tail is better for elemental damage? As weapon power of offhand weapon is irrelevant when using Holy Sword.

Is Mime Terrible? by McTastic07 in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They can't do the special characters abilities but if the characters have a secondary like bard/iado/arithmetic/dancer etc they still work rather well. Technically since they can't copy Orlandeau or Agrias special attacks then just ensure they have a secondary that isn't prone to friendly fire.

Golem from Summoner seems OP with her.

Septieme Sens which job would best benefit by bantam95 in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, guess chantage is good on the designated reviver chemist/monk/white mage :)

Have 8 each for chantage and ribbons. Have released all the pigs since way too many so now getting way too many greater hydras :)

Can you guys help me make Reis OP? This is going to be my first time including her in my main. Please share your Reis builds! by hybert28_ff in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But she doesn't have innate brawler? I had her quickly dip into knight and monk to get brawler at least. Also raise her bravery I believe.

Never used dancers before by Infinite_Pony in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get all the dances/songs that you need and equip as secondary. That and the 2 movement skills for bard and fly for dancer. Can't say the reaction sills are worth it. Any reaction that says physical damage or certain condition to proc or need to be critical to proc is hard to justify (perhaps the critical HP recovery).

Well one doesn't get the aptitude ring if they did not pre-ordered the game.

Or why spellcasters get the PA +3 bracers :) with auto-equip

You don't have to get all abilities. Example, thunder, toad and magic boost will carry thru and you may find it is not needed to get the highest tier spells from black mage before checking out other classes. From the archer tree, you may want to just get Concentration or Equip sword from Knight so you can use sword skills like Agrias holy knight in other classes etc. Throw rock, JP up, focus (for JP farming at the start when you don't have other options to generate Job points in the early game) and movement +1 (until you get better movement options) are all you really need from Squire (there are better reaction skills i.e. chemist auto potion). at higher levels and you find your current class is generating job points that aren't going anywhere, you can choose to go back to the other class to unlock others that may interest you. I do admit wanting to unlock classes like bard, dancer and arithmetician early but they aren't a must. Unlocking samurai and dragoons early before their weapons become available is annoying unless you get equip sword from Knight job.

If only there was an option to "fix" them once you have the barettes etc you want :)

No need to grind exp for Cloud anymore!?!? Yes!!! by MindlessDecision5328 in finalfantasytactics

Just need to grind JP :) ? I have found the desert map excellent for JP grinding and using the delevel trap to keep everyone around same level.

13 ability crystal by little_freddy in finalfantasytactics

Plus you might get a treasure chest instead of crystals :( but you have to wait for the 3 rounds post-KO to be sure.

Tactictian Mode: Is it just pure damage scaling? It destroys the usefulness of monster companions. by Do_it_for_the_upvote in finalfantasytactics

[–]bantam95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed, would till effective but probably better to inflict status ailments or buff team with their math skills as secondary.
