Hero-of-Time Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I've decided to follow your trend Hero and get all my characters to level 99 on each job. Shouldn't take to long, all you have to do is go back to Ur (the starting town) and just battle a really weak monster around there, guard 10 times in a row (can be fewer depending on which job you are, but 10 will definitely work) then kill the bastard and all your characters will gain a job level every fight. It's a lot quicker than it sounds, dunno if that's how you were doing it Hero? Thats exactly what im doing and yes it is easy but it gets really REALLY tedious. I usually guard 7 rounds and that usually does the job.

I usually guard 7 rounds and that usually does the job. /---------------------\ |.............|Job LV | |.............|-------| |Jobs.........|<14|>14| |---------------------| |Freelancer...| 20| 20| |Fighter......| 20| 14| |Monk.........| 20| 14| |White mage...| 20| 10| |Black mage...| 20| 10| |Red mage.....| 20| 12| |Ranger.......| 20| 14| |Knight.......| 20| 12| |Thief........| 20| 18| |Scholar......| 24| 24| |Geomancer....| 20| 14| |Dragoon......| 20| 16| |Viking.......| 20| 14| |Dark Knight..| 20| 14| |Evoker.......| 20| 10| |Bard.........| 20| 18| |Black Belt...| 20| 14| |Devout.......| 20| 10| |Magus........| 20| 10| |Sage.........| 20| 10| |Summoner.....| 20| 12| |Ninja........| 20| 12| |Onion Knight.| 20|. 8| \---------------------/ This shows that before they reach level 14 you only have to 5 actions per fight to level them up (they level up once they reach 99), however after level 14 (except for Scholar) this increases. For example a White Mage requires 10 guards per fight, whereas a thief only requires 6 Spoilered just in case people wanna figure it out for themselves!
darksnowman Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Before I give a quick update on how I'm finding FF III so far, I just wanna offer that I think we're discussing it in this thread cos this thread is for all things Final Fantasy on DS/ GBA? Strictly speaking, the FF IV stuff should be in here too! Sooo, I'm up to about level 18 in this. The next step for me is to head back to Tokkul. I'm enjoying the game so far you know. Its amixed bag of knowing where I should go next and not knowing, obviously I prefer knowing but I like exploring this world too so its ok. The games been good, story's been fun and I'm not sure what to expect to happen next apart from I need to at the very least get to the other two crystals. I've taken also to levelling up the jobs. Just got Luneth up to lvl 99 as a Warrior so theres plenty of work left to do! I like the idea of completing this game as best I can, it should be worth the effort and the game isnt half as "old skool" as I was expecting! Lali-ho!
Eddage Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 One thing I've discovered is that the Scholar, Thief and Knight jobs are a bitch to level up owing to the fact that they don't have a guard move! I'm leaving them for now, probably go back to them in the end.
darksnowman Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Really? Thats a pity with the Scholar... isnt that the wee one with the cat ears? I thought Refia would look cute as one of them! I'll try and persevere when I get that class opened up.
Eddage Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Nah, you're thinking of Devout, the improved White Mage. Looking at the classes in the manual it would appear that the Sage class will be the same since it has two special moves, one of which will no doubt replace guard!
Eddage Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 So how's the levelling up going for you guys? I'm slowly getting there... Luneth is a level 99 Freelancer, and Monk. Level 77 Warrior and level 50 White Mage, the rest are around level 20. Arc is a level 99 Freelancer and Black Mage. Level 59 Warrior and level 50 White Mage. The rest are around level 20. Refia is a level 99 Freelancer and White Mage. Level 50 Warrior and Black Mage. The rest are around level 20. Ingus is a level 99 Freelancer and Warrior. Level 64 Monk and level 50 White. Again the rest are around level 20. My last save was dead on 37 hours 40 minutes! Also darksnowman, what's happenin'? Your friend code is still greyed out on my roster - I want to get this mognetting started to unlock some of the extras!
darksnowman Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I havent played this in over a week actually, just having some downtime from turnbased madness and grinding. Its enjoyable like and I love building the stats, but doing it 100% of the time can be an uber grindathon! However Rawk Hawk, you're added on my list. The only option its giving is to delete you though! Do we both have to be on the game at the same time or something for it to initiate us...? Surely not!?
Eddage Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Mmmmm, very strange. Have you gone to the Moghouse option (at the bottom) and then selected far away friends? This looks for new mail from people on your friends list, maybe you have to do that at least once after we've entered each others codes for it to register us (otherwise how would it know we've added each other)? I've done this a few times just in case that is the problem - maybe if you do it at your end it'll start working?! I know what you mean about it being a bit of a bore, but I usually just chuck on a Scrubs DVD or something similar and watch that whilst doing it. Oh and I'm loving the Rawk Hawk name!
Hero-of-Time Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I know what you mean about it being a bit of a bore, but I usually just chuck on a Scrubs DVD. Thats very freaky because its exactly what I do aswell. I went through series 5 the other week and then after I had watched it properly I played some FF with that on in the background.
Eddage Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Thats very freaky because its exactly what I do aswell. I went through series 5 the other week and then after I had watched it properly I played some FF with that on in the background. Man of my heart Hero! (In a non gay way of course...) Its been series 1 for me, I really need to get some others but have a lack of funds at the moment!
darksnowman Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I'm afraid I cant join in on the Scrubs loving, but when I sit down for a good levelling up sesh I usually stick on a Muse CD! Rawkie, I tried to receive any of your correspondence but there was none to get. And I just tried typing you another message to send, but you're numbers still all greyed out...! Somethings amiss!
Eddage Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I think I just sent you a message! Check your mail, hopefully it worked!
Tales Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Anyone wants recieve letters from me? I want to open the sidequest and job. You must have the american version or it won't work.
firthy1991 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 stuck in tht stupid saronia castle, cant get past that boss that trys to kill the prince, he keeps taking out my white mage in one hit(little bitch) any advice people?
mariosmentor Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 stuck in tht stupid saronia castle, cant get past that boss that trys to kill the prince, he keeps taking out my white mage in one hit(little bitch) any advice people? As many dragoons as possible. Maybe try and level up you're white mage so she'll survive or cast protect on herself. Kinda simple but also make sure she's on the back row eh?
DomJcg Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 ok this game is awesome and most boss battles can be decided in about 4 or so rounds, ive defeated xande and im in the darkness place now but i warn you all the bosses hardness increases alot, the first boss i faced was the sort of flying yellow eye thing which went ok and i just won, but the next three are impossible and i can't even think about how to beat them, my squad is dragoon level 51 (with jump, hits for 9999 normal is 5000) sage level 49 (can summon, hits for about 3000 or so with magic) ninja level 51 (with throw, hits for 9999, normal attack 5000) warrior level 67 (advance hits for 9999 and normal is about 6000) can anyone help please? i know it may seem like i can't do anything more but i swear theres something else...
flameboy Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 Well dragging this thread back from the deep cellar of N-Europe past threads, to what people think of FF Tactics, on a bit of a GBA/DS Final Fantasy completist spree so got myself a copy off ebay on its way. I've read reviews and they all sound good so eagerly awaiting its arrival!
darksnowman Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 FFTA is a quality game if you like that kinda thing, and even if you don't it might help you get into tactical battle games. I've played a fair bit of it but got nowhere near completing it, so be prepared for a lengthy one!
Hero-of-Time Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 FFTA is simply an amazing game. I remember I finished it but never did complete all 300 quests. I love how you could build your army to your own liking and the fact that your charcters can die and still come back makes this slighty easier than the FE series. ( Not having a go at FE as I love it to bits just saying FF is an easier game IMO )
KKOB Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Is it wrong to be enjoying FF XII : RW? I feel my gaming tastes are on the slide, also how come DQM: Joker rocks so hard? These 2 games are actually making me play my DS again! CAN NOT WAIT for FF IV DS remake ^_^ eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
flameboy Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 FFXII: RW is awesome. It's surpringly fun. Yeah I'm gonna order it I reckon pretty soon, give tactics some time first though.
killer kirby Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Yeah same, need to get through MG and MP3 first though :P
Sheikah Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 FFTA is simply an amazing game. I remember I finished it but never did complete all 300 quests.

( Not having a go at FE as I love it to bits just saying FF is an easier game IMO ) I remember when I was in the Vault areas and Montblanc got killed permanently...I was gutted. Forced me to turn off that did.
