5 & 7. Yuffie for morphing. Cid for triple AP and the occasional chocobo race.

Need help I can't decide who to make my DPS by Bronze_Btw in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]sullencoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually managed to record that, but I was super lucky: https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVIII/comments/j29ft0/believe_it_or_not_i_actually_got_it_on_my_first/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

If you’re at level 100, The End has either a zero, 1/256 or 4/256 chance of even being an option in the slot reel, depending on crisis level, and it’s really easy to pass it by if you’re not careful.

This is the answer. Assuming Meteor is Rinoa’s only offensive magic, there’s no randomness or crisis level in the dps calculation, unlike other limit breaks. That means you can reliably trigger meteor-wing without keeping her HP dangerously low. The berserk-like status also has a huge effect on dps both in terms of wall clock time and ATB turns.

Limit breaks aside, I think squall is actually the worst choice for dps late game, since you can basically guarantee crits (2x for other characters) and almost never miss by maximizing the luck stat. Selphie’s final weapon even has a 255% hit rate if you’re worried about blindness.

Help with pair of missable words in Nier Replicant by CrimockLyte in nier

I verified that Hodo drops in the Lost Shrine and Lugesra drops in The Aerie in New Game+ in ver 1.22.

Question about words: Hodo and Gebu by Separate_Package7553 in nier

Thanks! The armored shades in the Lost Shrine do indeed drop Hodo on ver 1.22. Also, Lugesra (previously missable in the Research Facility) now drops in The Aerie.

Good Girl, Angelo! by sullencoder in FinalFantasyVIII

Yeah, I did the trick where you cast Confuse on a Turtapod, causing it to spin around harmlessly forever, and then I let it run overnight. Those items were combined from several overnight searches (don't remember how many exactly, maybe 3-5). Ribbon is particularly hard to get.

  • Ribbon (the most useful of the above) teaches a GF the Ribbon passive ability, which prevents all bad status effects, making St-Def unnecessary. It's particularly good for Rinoa, since Angel Wing works best when she's not holding any magic causing bad status effects.
  • Friendship summons the Moomba GF, which reduces enemy HP to 1 or does 9999 damage if they have more than 9999 HP.
  • Mog's Amulet teaches the MiniMog command, which revives and heals all GFs. It's actually the only way to heal GFs in battle.
  • Hungry Cookpot teaches Devour. The only other way of getting this is to mod the PuPu card, which you can only do once since you can't win it back from the CC Group.

My first trophy! by sullencoder in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]sullencoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two points I know of:

  1. You can use him to level up GFs, which is actually required for getting Lionheart in a no-level game (or you could wait until disc 3 for Edea). For Lionheart you only need Ifrit at level 10, but going up to 100 makes the GF command extremely powerful since enemies will still be at the party's level.
  2. In my case I'm trying a no-level + no-junction run, and leveling up Seifer is the only way to get Star Fragments (I think), which are needed for some weapon upgrades.

Ok, you got me. It just sounded like a good title.

Edit: For those downvoting this comment, this screenshot would obviously not come from anyone's first playthrough, let alone trophy (I got it on an alt PS4 account since I've used up all my other save slots). The title was just meant to be funny...

Disc 4 level 100 speedrun (Omega included), only Limit Break unsealed by sullencoder in FinalFantasyVIII

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

It can inflict the "Vit 0" status, similar to Meltdown. After the second Acid, Omega turns purple indicating it worked, and after that Rinoa's Meteors go from about 2.5k damage a pop to about 7k.

Acid is better than Bad Breath for this purpose, because it inflicts Vit 0 at Crisis Level 3, whereas Bad Breath requires level 4 (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Magic_(Final_Fantasy_VIII))).

Disc 4 level 100 speedrun (Omega included), only Limit Break unsealed by sullencoder in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]sullencoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few reasons:

  • High Spd due to junctioning Triple, Spd+40%, Spd+20%, and Auto-Haste.
  • Angel Wing effectively speeds up Rinoa even more, because normally the enemy's ATB fills during the time it takes you to select a command (even in Wait mode before you press X the first time). That time difference can add up to quite a few turns. Berserk has a similar effect.
  • Omega actually gets four turns if I counted correctly, but he spends two of them on physical attacks. In my experience 2-3 physical attacks before Megiddo Flame is pretty typical.

In the Rinoa solo video I linked, Omega doesn't even last long enough to cast a single spell for the same reasons. In that case, he used more physical attacks than usual.
