Hey, how about you stop? Hey, how about you stop? Hey, how about you stop?

What you're doing is spamming. Sure, you'll get one liners and lack of contents to posts, but this is just uncalled for. I'm going to give you a warning for two reasons...

1. Posting spam as you did above.
2. You know as well as I do what the topic is about. You had to click the link in order to get in here. It's obvious.

WOW amazing i never knew this game could be so addictave i might buy it as soon as it comes out in Australia that is !!!!

*Bryan* · 11-01-2006, 01:56 AM

Yes, it is quite addictive. Technically, you just spammed again because this isn't really the place to be discussing the game in general, just the progress. Please refrain from doing it again in the future.

Anyway...

I'm off to bed. My current progress is:

9:34:04

Vaan: Lvl. 8
Balthier: Lvl. 9
Fran: Lvl. 9
Basch: Lvl. 10

I'm a Hedge Knight now...woohoo! I'll check back in later tomorrow.

I was just reintroduced to Basch, and at this point the game is unforgiving if you suck at the License and Gambit systems. The enemies around here are destroying me. Vaan is Level 5, Fran and Balthier are level 6, and Basch is level 8. It looks like I am going to have to fight and save until I can make it through the whole dungeon.

How frustrating, I had the game sitting on my table since 12:28 P.M. yesterday and I didn't get to start until about 6:30 this morning. ; ; Damn work, of all the days to get a special shift...GRR!

Anyways, I'm exactly 2:30 in right now, just messing around. Didn't want to do too much cause I have work this morning, blah. Vaan is level 4 and I gave him Libra and Cure. Did the first hunt without any trouble and I have Thextera's hunt started. I haven't really decided what to do with him yet but I might keep playing on his THF-ness and work that up.

Right now I'm working my way through the Nalbina Dungeons..all three of my characters are on level 8. (Vaan, Balthier, Fran)

Highest chain is 16

Vaan i'm teaching swords, white magic, etc.
Balthier is sticking with guns but i'm teaching technics such as poach
Fran i'm teaching green magic in addition to the magic she already has

Yeah the license board is great..i love the way you develop your characters, it gives you so much freedom. So far i haven't had much trouble with the way i'm leveling up the characters, the only trouble i had was at the beginning of the game with Vaan. So far bosses have not been bad at all but i'm sure things will get harder.

and i'm only a hedgeknight as of now. I tried to take on that flowering cactus soley with Vaan awhile back, but not only were his attacks not doing much but the damn thing blinded me and i had no eye drops. I'm gonna have to take him to school once i have the chance again

EDIT:

about 10 hrs into the game now, just arrived at Bhujerba.
Vaan, Fran, Balthier at Lv. 10, Baasch at Lv. 11, Lamont (guest) at Lv. 10

Just glad to be done with that dungeon with the Mimic Queen (my first challenging boss battle, only vaan and fraan survived). Baasch was hilarious trying to fight flans with no weapons

. Nice that the third hunt was on my way back through the easterlands, killed that flowering cactice. Haven't finished another hunt, but signed up for three. Tried to fight the wraith but decided to come back later.

My characters are all level 10 right now ecxept Basch who is level 12. Ive only done two hunts so far, im planning on doing more soon. Im still kinda experimenting with the whole gambit system, its a lot more fun to tinker with then I thought it would be. I think it adds a bit more strategy to the battle system.

Lol yeah, I fought that thing the first time and just concentrated on the queen itself and failed cause she used her breath of life thing on me like 4 times and I couldnt recouperate fast enough. The second time I went in to the battle thinking and stomped the queen fairly easly.

In the story Im saving Penelo or whatever.

I have to say now that Ive played with this battle system its going to be hard to go back and play RPGs where you run into battles and they have to load and all that.

The license board is amazing. In a lot of the other FF games weapons really didnt play that big of a part. For example you could beat FFVIII with out upgrading at all easily. I also love the ability to use whatever the hell I want for whatever character. One of my playthroughs Im going to make Basch an axe weilding white mage.

God I love this game.

Yea i really have to mess around more with the gambit system. I think i just got lucky on that Mimic Queen fight, i basically just had Fran as a healer, as well as Vaan. I had ran out of healing items completely going thru the dungeon so basically i had vaan and fran lay in the cut using cure on balthair and baasch as they went balls to the wall attacking. Once those two died though i had no phoenix downs but vaan and fran were able to finish him off.

Haha i know it will be hard going back to normal battle systems..this makes things so..quick and fun. Standard turned based battles will start to feel like a chore again.

I feel like with the look of the game and the battle system, the whole game feels like a strange mix between Vagrant Story and traditional final fantasy titles. It's amazing all the freedom the game gives you with your characters. I'm kinda still thinking over good combinations for my characters.

Anywayz, just made it thru the Bhujerba mines. Now it's time to "testify"..i'm probably gonna go back to the mines to do some leveling up before advancing more in the story though. Also upgrade my weapons and armor. Vaan is really the only one with a brand spanking new set of weapons and armor. I am always so low on cash.

Anywayz, good luck everyone! I'm talking a little break for the time being but probably will be back at it within an hour or so. I know that Lamont guy seemed fishy, come on he had a sword that was bigger than he was!

LionheartVIII · 11-01-2006, 07:27 PM

LOL. Im starting to do more of the hunts now and I went to kill that Cactular flower thing. I only had Vaan out when I was fighting it at the time. I used a bunch of fire magik on it and was killing it with ease. He was running away untill he had almost no health. He then turned around and proceeded to rape Vaan with the 1000 needles attack. I then pulled out Fran, Baltheir, and Basch they automatically started to attack it and I had Fran start to caste the fire spell that would kill it. The Cactular again used its 1000 needles attack killing Basch before being hit by Frans fire spell... It was an epic battle.

Im still deciding on where to go with my characters.

So far:

Vaan-Well rounded he knows all types of magic and he uses the assasins blade which rapes all.

Fran-Im kind of thinkin im going to make her into a mage. Ill have her use bows so she can stay at a distance and heal my characters.

Basch, Balthier- havent really messed around to much with these characters yet. Im not sure where ill go with them.

James D. · 11-01-2006, 07:28 PM

Im in the Leviathan, about to fight the Judges. I fought them once before, and I got slaughtered. I have levelled everyone up to Level 13, and taught Balthier and Vaan a Strength Up License, and Fran and Basch are just levelling up. I should be able to beat them now, think I just got caught not healed up.

**LocoColt04** · 11-01-2006, 07:30 PM

Yeah, I managed to beat them with ease while everyone was level 12 (and Basch was 13).

Nothing has actually changed since my last post except for my location: Sandsea -- and not the bar. Again, you'll all know what that means when you get there. Many of you are catching up to me.

...silly job, detracting from FFXII time.
