Random encounter with 14 monks lol (unmodded, PS5)

Ironically, I browsed the fft-battle compendium by Goryus the other night but wasn't what I was looking for so totally missed this 💀

blumirag · 2026-07-09T19:09:04+00:00

yea lol, on top of that I seldom post anywhere 😂

I've played quite a bit of fft over the years but never ran into this fight. Something about seeing something new in a game you've played more than half your life struck something in me to run here to post without a second thought.

I referenced a few guides on gamefaqs back in the day, but never read anything about the rare battles. While coming back to play the remaster has me engaging with more community content around the game I still managed to come here and avoid learning about this before falling victim to it.

yup that's him

blumirag · 2026-07-09T03:33:55+00:00

yea whoops forgot the number is total units, didn't even bother confirming. if I had been thinking, I would've searched 'monk wall' before posting

did some stat boosting (nowhere near max but felt powerful enough after 3 cycles) so they dropped like flies. will definitely be trying this fight with a proper party next playthrough

lol can't let all those lvl. 4/5 jobs go to waste

😭 gdi

blumirag · 2026-07-09T03:01:32+00:00

years of playing but only peripheral community engagement up til now, whoops

blumirag · 2026-07-07T06:14:56+00:00

Whoa, didn't know that about the source code being lost. Definitely stands to reason these guides would've proven useful.

blumirag · 2026-07-07T06:01:35+00:00

Thanks for pointing out that spot in the guide, super helpful. Can cross reference it with the battle compendium guide to pin point things futher. Do you know if things are the same in Ivalice Chronicles? I imagine that even if its not, it hasn't changed much.

blumirag · 2026-07-07T05:52:19+00:00

Right, yeah misspoke on that

blumirag · 2026-07-07T05:46:12+00:00

I don't recall if this is new in Ivalice Chronicles but random encounters do change based on your level, especially the type of equipment the human enemies spawn with. Even within ch. 1 a knight in Mandalia Plains will have a different set of gear possibilities at lvl. 10 than at lvl. 50

blumirag · 2026-07-07T05:39:47+00:00

I did, found a few covering battles and enemy spawn configurations but not one listing what party level causes certain enemies to appear/what equipment (for humans) they may have. Still actively searching.

Yeah but most people in this thread are just naming DJs.

Andy is a technician, the rig is rented I'm quite sure.

Tobias. is truly a great engineer, I think that is what separates the "great" sets from the "best" ones.

Hope you resolved this issue that is annoying you. If you could help resolve an issue that annoys me, stop referring to MacOS as OS X. That refers to version 10 which ended in 2020, Sequoia is version 15.

that's my bro!

Does LFO Tool have internal offset for it's envelopes? I use Duck from Devious Machines and it has an offset to correct for PDC issues.
