    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah she is on a whole other level than even Orlandu and its not very hard to get there. Gtind up Dual wield and make her a Monk and you are basically done. Only Monk Ramza was doing more damage than her when I got to the end and she had the most HP in the party as a nearly naked Monk. She...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I think thats a fair take, but I would point out that basically that if you can kill something that its better than disabling it. Agrias dropping Holy Blade arts, especialyl later in the game, pretty much obliterates most enemies whether you grinded her up in other classes or not. In fact, you...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Twins are hot garbage. Agrias is not, especially if you give her Orlando's sword when you get him (he does not need it to be godlike)., mostly because she progresses strongly as both a mage AND a fighter fairly equally. And her Holy Sword skill set makes her consistently useful. Set her up as...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Midnight Deep is usually pretty easy once you get to it, if you bothered to duild up Beowolf at all. His Chicken ability makes the searching (and grinding JP) fairly trivial. The only hard part about it is the last battle if you are trying to jump through the bullshit to learn Zodiarc

    The other issue is trying to do the whole multiverse thing that has been played out for years, especially in comics related media. I mean even DC did it with the WB Crisis of Infinite Derps crossover series, complete with even an Earth X crossover arc. Such a shame, given all the potential...

    Sorry you are right I was thinking of the Eagles who seem to be in a similar situation, but in there case I think Saquon fell off a cliff from last year (not unusual for RBs)

    The only quality win that the bills have had in retrospect , has been tampa bay and that was week one. I That ravens win is starting to look a lot less impressive with the way they've been playing. think the bills might be cooked unless they can get healthy on defense again.

    Grinding in FFT can be a thing, its just way less tedious if you do it right (surround last chocobo in a fight with chakra guys is the easiest speed grind, Dance and Bardsong is the fastest). But its not really essential to completing the game. Disgea has some ludicrous "Change to next version...

    Disgea and all the related games (asside from maybe Lapucel) are just puzzlers and grinders. The AI in those is pure retardation. I don't even consider them tactics games, just grindfests.

    Yeah most of those might not work type things test based on Faith. Teleport is no exception, but Autopotion is the most obviously affected. As for the Teleport hate, early grind up to a teleporter is one of the main ways to bust the game's more difficult early story fights. Galfgarrion at the...

    The OG TO system had some cons to it (mainly in how grindy it was when you changed jobs, snap dragon weapons being massively OP, and the hidden chaos frame faction system), but it had upsides to it as well, like being able to cultivate stat gains on the characters more and a larger fight roster...

    That was some serious Chargering by the Lams last night. I get not settling for a tie. And with the way their D was gassed, I get going for it at the end there. But holy fuck is that going to eat away at them for a while.

    PS- They left the perma boost Bravery thing in the game for some reason (Steel on Razma in Ch2 is the earliest way to abuse it) which can let you get everyone to Bravery 100 permanently if you want (not even that grindy) which probably breaks the game more than anything else. A lot of skills...

    Steal Weapon trivializes Wiegraf and a lot of enemies like him. If you are getting one shotted and don't want to cheese him with steal, you need to bring classes that can gear up more HP like Knights. There is a general tendency for players to be deep into the Monk phase of leveling up and...

    Gotta side with Cutlery on this one, but thats really a decision you need to make personally. I had a bad run for a while when I was younger and they put me on some mild levelers and it basically turned me into a zombie person. At that point, if I am not the same person and unaware of things...

    This is some woman shit you are experiencing, even though your intellectual mind is seeing it emotion is overriding your rational thought.

    Major issue this season is having (aside from being so long between seasons) is the lack of a antagonist with agency. This is the typical WB type shit where the heroes themselves are the source of all of their own problems and everyone lies to each other to create stupid drama. The butterfly...

    Did not need them for how dominant our ball control was. At one point in the third quarter, we had 2-1 time of possession plus we had back to back 90+ yard drives for scores. That is going to win you some games.

    Speaking as a Packer fan, that game went exceedingly well. I think that looking at the last two games, this might be the best GB D that I have seen in my lifetime. On the Offense, we pretty much overpowered the Commies with two of our O Line starters out which is god damn amazing. Love is...

    Not defending this show, but Aliens are shown to be pretty much physically stronger than humans by a significant margin from as early as the OG movie. Some of that may or may not be due to their complete willingness to destroy themselves to accomplish a goal, but the aliens have clearly always...

    After further review, the Bears still suck. They looked good in the first half, but if you really dig into the stats they still only managed 10 points of offense (that Pick 6 was a gift from JJ McCarthy) and never really moved the ball after the second quarter, outside of one garbage time TD...

    I cant agree on Midir, but concede everyone finds different bosses as the hardest. And yeah so many bosses can be beat by rolling into them, but it is so counter intuitive that it does not occur to most players.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    PS- If you liked Seikero (I never was interested, too much twitch), the Midir fight is very much in line with that. One or two Parries will end the entire fight. Failing that, holy damage is the only thing that can do real damage to him. He remains the Boss I consider the hardest in the...

    Well Bael (after the first attempt) just randomly either breath blasts you or turbo rape charges you, making getting Egon out (or any summon if you are doing those) very difficult. Aside from that coinflip, his moves are very readable and predictable, plus his mega AEs all have safe spots close...

    Radahn is pretty damn tough in the grand scheme of souls games, but I don't think he is the hardest boss ever, unless you are either making the fight hard or are trying to pure caster that shit. Melenia demands more perfect execution and/or specific builds to solo, so she is at the minimum...
