Starting in V stance weapon is so far and away her best weapon in the game.

It applies double burn in its second level rank. This becomes so massive in the very mid to late game.

With the cheater picto on and double burn picto you can open the fight with burning rain for like 60 burns with just the double burn picto. It will move you next you want to use the other fire move that adds but not the breaker moving you into defensive stance, this from just her will be over 100 burn. Her next round youll be in defensive stance so use pyrlose it adds more burn in defensive stance and breaks. This puts her into offensive stance for her second move with over 175 burn just from her alone no else yet. Use burning canvas and you can easily do 2 million ending over 320 burns

Maelle and Lune have undoubtable best weapons. Verso imo does too. Others dont have impossibly clear best, Versos cannot be gotten until act 3 but you can get Lune in act 2 if you can beat the final boss of side dungeon falling trees. Its her dark weapon. Two words electrify and crystal crush
Ok I’ll do an easy one even if the moves and how I describe them might make no sense lol. Everyone knows you’ll fight the old guy with a cane at least once.

During his first fight he has a ton of moves and some with very obvious very needed audio cues. He does an attack called gathering chroma where a ball of black paint pulls together and pulses but you have really know easy idea when to respond with a gradient parry other than a swishing sound.

In phase 2 he summons two masks to help him that shoot seven straight blast at random members each shot begins with a mask rotating the pausing before a ping can be heard. That moment the ping is the optimal input timing for parry’s.

Almost any ranged enemy that does blast like these has these and they’re needed. There’s more I could talk about in this fight like his 6 hit combo but did this help?
How far are you into the game? I will not be spoiling anything but need to know in case I need to use euphemism
I have some random saves around it’d be easier to just show you what I mean. A lot of the more simpler enemies have very minor ones since they don’t fools with eyes too much. What types are you talking about? A great example of learning these is the final battle of act one and any fights against Renoir there all very there distinct and important
The entire mechanical set up of that game from the rng with best gear locations, 2 of the worst dungeons in FF history, and getting used to its combat it isn’t to get into.

It has a lot of amassing stuff too and some of the most difficult fights ever in FF. It’s not one I can play often but I like it. A lot more than 15 even though 15s story was better with immense unused potential to boot


I also think it’s just super neat the Ivalice games are the only 2 main line game that used completely new summons never seen elsewhere. Btw play tactics everyone if you haven’t
One of the biggest single advice things I’d give for anyone struggling parry’s or just wanting to become untouchable.

Two word. Sound ques. They’re there for literally every move that can be with the traditional party mechanics. Often subtle sometimes seriously so sometimes overt but especially on expert learning these is paramount. You’ll do it a lot naturally by osmosis but imo actively finding them especially for hard fights is a huge boon.

They like to trick your eyes a lot with awkward combo timings but the sound ques for when to act will always be correct

If someone just can’t get what I’m saying since so much other noise is happening lenme know I’ll show or tell you with some early examples
The game was damn near unbearable on ps2. The option to toggle all speed at 2x or 4x is a good send with one button. Way too much slow walking in the OG.

And he’s zodiac age is an American release of the IZJS where they didn’t all share one license board like all did in 12. Now you pick a job that’s your board and shortly into the game all can get another


Just tried to capture it to see if I still had it to get in one go on hard. Pushed 1st phase easy but failed horribly at not perfect parrying her insta kill enough opening phase 2
And thank the gods for bringing hack and slashers back with a palatable amount of rpg stuff. A fricking Korean model you can dress in over like 90 ways killing aliens androids whatever in gory bloody fashion. So shocked it sold!

Any if you fools actually able to beat the Scarlet boss from the Nike DLC on hard? Insanely demanding fight.
Jumpin is easy as hell. It can get rough when mixed into like 12 sting attack combos for 2 moves when you’re looking to parry the other 10.

Idk if you’re on expert but most wthings will one shot you if not doing all non essential things. I have played and beating the game so many times my builds have mostly shifted to PURE glass cannon with inverted and more plus energy anything to always have AP. I very very rarely miss parry’s anymore to almost anything. Simon, the big guy in the ocean even though he dioesnt hit had by like 38, rarely Renoir part of the 6 hit combo where he slashes from distance.


I can’t wait for new contact I neeed stuff that can kill me bigly once more
You can also set the game to 2x or 4x speed what I was playing on above



You can go in the gambit menu like i do here each can have three sets and you can see me turn individua ones i use for boss like haste all but no mobs off, then I show the license board and what the upgrade progressions looks like. I think its really good but you gotta use 2x or 4x when not fighting a tough boss the game is harder sped up
There are some definite issues with it. Like it’s got the worst dungeon some mandatory much more not in FF history it’s a tower with like 99 floors and 3 basements.

The combat can feel MMOish but you have preset gambits for each character how to act. An easy one for your white mage Any ally Hp >40% use Cure. Foe weak to fire use fira etc.

It gets way more complex than that, every character can eventually get two jobs and you just buy licenses for anything including gambits which max at 12. If you watch the video when you press X the wait screen comes up and you have 5 options usually attack auto, magic and techs you know, Mist skills, turning gambits off, and items. So it’s it extremely free wheel for most things but can be very intense for bosses. The game has a ton of them and many are very hard, like the optional espers some are frick insane.

It also has a lot of rng in chest but you can rig a lot of that. It’s a weird game but totally fun and say get into it. I’d use a guide though. IMO jegged is best covers literally all its quirks

If you’re a big tactics fan like me it’s kind of Shaunfreah to see the enemy from that came become your slave like Yunas are. I love the Ivalice lore
If you haven’t played tactics this is a bit of a spoiler. You could call the inevitable cosmic final bad ending all JRPGs in FF tactics after it’s been such a political game. So be warned,

The espers are actually sort of demi gods made up the group of “gods” who give ash’s dad the nethecite setting in motion FF12. But tactics is set long before hjust also in Ivalice so they’re evolving and their lore is insane. Ofc they are punished for their rebellion so if you notice in FF12 every single esper you get either story or optional (most) are all in prisoner or made skaves in some way?

There are 13 espers in 12 (your summons after you beat them in battle and the major villains of tactics) NONE share any iconography with any of the other games summons, except maybe what they believed was the highest at 12 ultimate in tactics, until Zodiarc is shown to exist in FF 12

I mean I’ve only gotten my third one yet I cheesed one optional but look at the fury this guy unleashes on a small flan for a hunt rofl



If you haven’t played the game and want to how limits work I do one right after the summon ends Youll see me pick mist from the menu and all my characters had 3 max charges sowhen it opens you can see their names and 1 2 3 beside them and you pick them one after if another. If it runs out or no one has mist left you can roll it again hoping to mist charge someone so you want to build long combos the best is 3 1 mist hits 3 2 mist snd 3 3 mits hits

IMO with BYU getting demolished the big 12 is firmly a one team league either TTU or Utah. The ACC needs to be one as well they’re even worse. I don’t think Miami has done QUITE enough to be fully out yet without a shot at making g their CC game, but they came damn close yesterday and it may cost them. ND is simple they win out their in. The big 10 is imo only getting 3 unless Michigan wins out including over Ohio State.

This scenario lays out fairly well for 5 SEC teams if the ACC does not play a-hole in a year they’re even worse

1. IU
2. A&M
3. Alabama
4. Ohio State (they simply haven’t been tested anything close to any of this list)
5. UGA
6. Ole Miss
7. Texas Tech (when qb healthy)
8. Okie
9. Oregon
10. Notre dame
11. Texas
12 BYU

Those are the best 12 teams imo if they did it how they will start. Next year so 1 will have to be thrown out for like Memphis and hopefully someone like GT or SMU takes the CC game while TTU wins out. That way the shitty ACC can take the inferior big 12 team place.

This game is insane. 10 yard completion gives state a chance

re: 41 UGA | 21 MSU 4Q

Not either but they deserve to be #1 imho. Ohio State won’t be tested to the degree we can expect like 7-8 times a year until they play Michigan to end the year, and won’t play another legit possibly top team until their conference title

IMO they should be at highest 4 behind IU A&M Bama

Two of the most insane catches ever on that drive.
