    I gotta say the Titan, Gaia hammer steal, is one of the most frustrating steals to get and it makes me REALLY happy they added the autosave feature. To me that's the FF9 Fairy Flute equivalent, two very powerful items early in their games but you have to give up on searching for a career to have a chance to steal it.

      As for the steal, it's a good one, I got it once on a Ps1 file and Faris went berserker all of W2 up until Exdeath's castle, I wish there were more steals that gave weapons that weren't accessible until at least 2 towns further so you'd be more incentivized to use thief.

      Agreed! I did not have an external mic when I was recording this, but do now and I think my audio has improved at least a little. It is hard to find the correct settings still and I do have the unfortunate habit om mumbling a bit :P
      Nice one! Yeah stealing is OK in the game but it could most certainly have more epic steals. One of my favourite steals is the Flame Ring you can steal from the Red Dragon in the "Monster"-in-a-Box"-chest in the Barrier Tower. It can be repeated even without "Return" since the chest closes when you run from the dragon.

    Steal having a base 40% chance is pretty terrible, no wonder the ability is so underrated. I'm used to it having a "bypass accuracy check" level of default accuracy, having only the enemy's steal rate matter.

    • @Slerran

    you've mathematically explained why I found the steal mechanic in FF games generally annoying, and I enjoy the game more just not dealing with it. Not really fun to try 33 times to get a 50% chance to get a rare item. And you have to use a guide to figure out where to steal.

    It's worth noting that the Fire Powered Ship is only inaccessible during the first world during the brief period between completing the Library of the Ancients and acquiring the airship, it's right next to the airship when you land it at the Catapult, though in most scenarios you probably don't need hi potions enough for going back there to be worth it

    • @Slerran

      Yeah, stealing in FF9 is somewhat of a nightmare. Especially if one wants to get all items, which I usually try to do. I can definitely relate to that feeling. At least it gets a little better with master thief, though I wish you'd get that earlier in the game.

    Missed Blitz Whip from Flaremancers. Also, Sehkmet can be Captured after being stolen from for more Thieves Gloves without running away. I think you mentioned Protect Ring from Soul Cannon but didn't show it. Pretty good list. Covering neat or unique drops would show off even more of the game. There's a lot of cool items in this game IMO. At least with Twintania, the axe is a common steal while chraging Gigaflare. Too bad Tinkerbell is a rare drop NOT while charging Gigaflare, so certainly the most annoying battle.

    Pretty good steal guide for people who would rather watch a video instead of looking up a list online. Your opinions about what steals are worthwhile is a nice addition as well.
    You did miss some good common steals though, you mention a lot of rare steals from enemies but don't mention the commons which are often more useful depending on your party:
    World 1 boss Manticore: common steal dragon fang
    Final Void area Crystal Dragons: common steal elixir
    World 2 boss Castle Exdeath: common steal elixir
    World 3 boss Leviathan: common steal elixir
    Void boss Azulmagia: common steal elixir
    Void boss Catastrophe: common steal elixir
    Void boss Necrophobia: common steal elixir
    This group of mostly bosses is a way for the thief to easily contribute something during boss fights, since the job typically isn't much of a fighter.
    Maybe you don't think Chemist mix items are good?
    Void enemy Orucat: common steal dark matter. There are a couple bosses with common steal dark matters, but the Orucats do almost nothing and can come in packs of 4 so they're the easiest to take advantage of. Dark Matter is in a bunch of Chemist mixes, the most useful being the Death Potion mix with phoenix downs which inflicts death status on enemies and never misses as long as the enemy is vulnerable to death status. While this is late in the game and there are dark matters in the pyramid, those are fights you might want to skip and there are still enemies in the void you might want to kill with Death Potion mixes like form 2 of TwinTania and Necrophobia's barriers or even Iron Giants if you want exp (not needed with Chemist, other than to show dominance).
    W2 enemy Blue Dragon: common steal dragon fang
    Void enemy Great Dragon: common steal dragon fang
    Bahamut and Shinryu also have common steal dragon fangs, the latter is actually better to steal from because you can steal and flee before it can act and gather a bunch of fangs if you want. Dragon fangs are in many useful chemist mixes, e.g. dragon fang + potion = +20 levels on a character. If you have a Chemist, these common steal fangs are much more useful than Shinryu's rare Dragon Whisker steal.

    • @Slerran
      @Slerran  7 місяців тому +2

      Good points and I could've made som honorable mentions I suppose.
      I did mention the Elixir from Crystal Dragon but not as the main steal from it. The other Elixirs could've been mentioned I suppose though I chose the repeatable enemies for that item rather than bosses :)
      I am well aware of how broken mixing is :D I do however usually find it easier to farm for those through drops as they are usually dropped at a 100 % drop rate from the right enemies which is why I didn't include them. But again you do have a good point that I could've mentioned where you could steal them as well even though I usually don't get them that way, at least from the enemies which have tham as common steals.

      That's a good question. I guess there really aren't any absolutely useless steals but there are definitely many where there really is no point in stealing. There are several enemies with only potions when it is in my opition not really worth the time spent. There are late game enemies with early game equipment that you will never use at that point or enemies where the stealable item is easier to get through drops.

    Steal can be fun and useful if you have a guide. Otherwise, why would you ever use it? It's an ability that wastes your turn 90% of the time and only gives you something worthwhile less than 1% of time (since you have to be fighting one of the few enemies worth stealing from AND get lucky).

      Another monster has this weapon and as it doesn't walk alone it is less annoying to use the return spell, it is an octopus that roams the waters southeast of the Phoenix Tower but most of the time it is accompanied by an annoying Aevis
