    When doing a scan on that boss Evri on the airship, the poison breath happens if you repeatedly attack every turn. You can pull the ship back, use Wakka to hit or use items as well but that might be slower.

    X-2 honestly has my fave combat of any RPG. I know people say FF5 perfected the job system but this game perfected the job system. They definitely won’t but if they do X-3 I hope they keep this job system and expand and alter it to fit the other characters and new story.

    I’m shocked that omega is thought to be harder than chronodia in the psp version as it’s easily the most difficult on a casual run. I was about level 50 when I fought it and it’s regular attack one shot me every time. Although now that I think about it the run probably faces the weakest version of it and not the strongest so that makes more sense.

    IIRC Fast/haste doesn't increase action speed but hit rate giving more attacks from the fight command, it doesn't get it's expected effect until Final Fantasy IV.

    I have only played 4 on the ds and its one of my favorite FF games. The graphics look amazing, i love how cecil and rosa look especially, I love the sheer difficulty of it. Even normal mob fights feel like a real challenge. Bosses feel like a genuine threat… The game was simply too hard for me as a teen and i had to set it down for almost a decade. Years later i retried and when i got to the final boss i realized my team wasnt good enough ability wise and i restarted from the beginning. I eventually beat him and it was one crazy battle. Though i was a bit salty from having to restart, i feel like i truly mastered this game in a way. Probably one of the best “turn by turn” games ive ever tried… also i like how your party actually changes around quite a bit, but Cecil is always there so it’s basically through his POV. check out rabtoons “FF4 in a nutshell” for a funny recap (also the harder a game is, the more valuable a healer role is and let me tell you i dont think i could have beat this game without Rosa….)

    • @Vanessomatic
      @Vanessomatic 25 днів тому

      Only way to survive is if everyone has the best possible gear. Meaning plenty of 1/64 drops from the last few floors of the Lunar Subrerrane (glass helms or whatever especially) though you should never get totally wiped if you also have adamantite armors.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 23 дні тому

      I never had those drop on ANY version of FF4 ever and NORMALLY I started the final dungeon of any FF4 version at lv 55 AT lv 55 99% of the DS final dungeon enemies will KILL you before you get even 1 Turn only the Trickster IMP enemies won't since those never kill you with its OWN Ligntning spells if you NEVER use a Lightning spell on those. The Zemus Breath enemies in the final dungeon never attack you either but at lv 55 I won't LIVE long enough to get that far on the DS version but yes on the DS one lv 99 party members only have around 5000 to 5500 HP and it Big Bang still hits them for OVER 6000 damage.

    • @vl6034
      @vl6034 23 дні тому

      Were you not using Shell to reduce the damage taken or using Brace/Defend? I haven't played it in a while but I remember Cecil always surviving it with all of the crystal equipment on hard mode with no grinding. If I got hit with Meteor I was still always fine because of Kain having the Phoenix ability equipped and using Bless so that he had MP for it to work.

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 22 дні тому

      That's worthless DS Zeromus still USES BLACK Hole which even at lv 99 will still REMOVE the Shell spell and a lv 99 party would still take over 6000+ damage from it, Brace/defend is worthless that really only works for physical hit damage and Zeromus ONLY uses spells.

    Correction: Valefor always charges a 2nd overdrive for Sinspawn Geneaux but the fight is different (we use fire 4x after instead while charging OD for Gui), we charge Valefor Overdrive before the fight in Kilika which is inconsistent due to the fights you can pick being random. Now, we charge Overdrive on Sin due to Energy Ray having a much lower damage output but gives us an ample window to charge overdrive more consistently which the danger being a small chance of valefor dying due to damage output issues.

    my favorite character in ffx is lulu for obvious reasons. but I would use tidus in wakka if they didn't have annoying as fuck celestial weapon requirements. tidus with the utter shit chocobo race and wakka for blitzball. blitzball is shit not due to the game itself but the fact that its literally coded to be against you. i don't mean your team as you can hire good players. i mean the game itself is against you. for example if you are being chased when you have the ball and the team is on you then it near instantly activates to pull you into the blocking mechanic. but when you are doing the chasing you could be running into the guy and flat out touching him and he could swim like half the map before you stop him. then you have the blocking shooting and breaking. it should be if you have lets say 10 block and they have 8 shoot. 100% you should block and grab the ball but nah lets make the numbers pointless by using RNG so that guy with 3 block can block your 10 shoot kick. stuff like that is why I hate blitzball. the game itself isn't difficult. get 1 goal ahead and swim behind your goalie and win the game. for the chocobo race its a similar thing. your chocobo does not listen to you. this is due to how the controls work. its set up for still only use the D pad and not the analog stick. this was never updated and fixed in the remaster. they should have fixed and polished a lot of stuff for those. so my go to is usually yuna kimari aron or riku. riku and yuna is almost always a yes with Aaron and kimari switching if needed.
