    This. Once they buy off all the local pols, they will essentially be at the front of the line for water and power. Expect both of those bills to triple within a years time. They won't do anything for the local economy, since what few physical humans they have that work there will be mostly...

    Yeah they seriously need to scale back the amount of fucking XP you get in this game in relation to JP. I have played the older versions many, many times and I don't remember it being this bad. With nearly zero dedicated grinds (I just never ran from random encounters and only prolonged them...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Monk Ramza, as mentioned, is probably the fastest path to being OP. Once you get him dual wield and are done Brave boosting, there is literally no reason to be anything else, although you could easily work him up as a part time Math magic guy too for utility. Dual Weild with sword Razma cannot...

    I will give you credit Foraskin, you lasted a lot longer before getting Rickshawed than I thought and sucking Neocon Dick over Ukraine was not my bingo card of what you would get nuked for. But eventually we all get to the end of our journey. Welcome home, little buddy.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Brawling damage is based on the character's bravery which can be soft capped up for anyone up to 97 as early as chapter two. The main issue with Ninjas is that their defense is dogshit and their hit points even worse. A character who levels up primarily as a Monk will have a lot of HP and do...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Teleporting is a reliable five move maneuver if you soft cap bravery on a character. The issue is that fly at the monk base move of four (or ignore height) is vastly cheaper and not prone to failure. Upping the cost to 3k was just silly. Plus you end up stuck in Time Mage for a bunch of level...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah I get that. I have gone in for the ability that divides the damage in half, because so much of the late game shit one shots anyone who is not a fully decked out plate user. But normally I avoid it entirely, because grinding mages up is boring as hell and you are going to do that if you...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Yeah the Ninja class design has always been terrible in this game, from the sense that you basically only ever want to get dual wield because while leveling in it pumps attack and speed, your defenses and hit points really take a dump if you spend any amount of time in the class. Calculators...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    The issue that sets him back is that there is a short window of having his shot abilities where they are better than alternatives and guns are basically dogshit in this version. If your healing strat is centered around Chemist, then you can get more mileage out of him, but realistically nailing...

    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...

    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 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...

    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...

    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.
