Posted August 8, 2017 Late to the party, but is definitively worth it. Looks fantastic, and the new job system, autosaves and 2x speed are great improvements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wanted to know whether the remake is worth 30€, but H-o-T and S.C.G. had to be veeeeeery funny... I was being serious. It is certainly worth the money. I love the effort that S-E put into their remasters and then they do the customer a solid by not over charging for them. Are you gonna completely break the game and get the Seitengrat? I had no regrets picking 3 up and that was before the 100% method was found. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure, to be honest. I like breaking RPGs but I also want to experience the game without breaking it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) @Hero-of-Time Do you know of any missable trophies? Picking the game up later today (hopefully) and I'm ready to jump right in Still undecided whether I'm going to break the game or not. Would have to look up how.

Posted August 11, 2017 There are no missable trophies. Personally, I would get the Seitengrat after the main story. The main story is easy enough and the end/post game is pretty hard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's good to know Quote Personally, I would get the Seitengrat after the main story. The main story is easy enough and the end/post game is pretty hard. Will probably do that. I don't remember much of the game. Played it way back when it was released in 2006. The remaster will probably take me back to the good old teenage years...oh I feel old now.

Posted August 11, 2017 Tales has beaten me to the punch. Get the OP weapon and break the game, Drahkon. Do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2017 23 hours ago, Hero-of-Time said: Get the OP weapon and break the game, Drahkon. Do it! Nah The game introduced the two-job-system just now. Since I want to use every job available I did some research. Going with: Vaan - Breaker/Hunter Balthier - Samurai/Knight Basch - Red Mage/Archer Fran - Time Mage/Uhlan Ashe - Black Mage/Monk Penelo - White Mage Machinist This isn't the optimal way to do things, but I always try to use every job or class that's available Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 12, 2017 I also used every job. Also wanted to be true to the lore, spesifically Fran as the archer and Balthier as the machinist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2017 Played this for 6 hours yesterday and today. Reached the dungeon where you get your first Esper. Completely forgot how tough it is to get a lot of Gil early game. If I remember correctly I'll be able to farm some Gil soon, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2017 Made a lot of progress over weekend. Started to finally do some Hunts and...the fights themselves are great but the fact that you have to accept the hunt at the notice board, travel to the person who posted the bill, then go to the monster's location and after the fight go back to that person is annoying. It's tedious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's tedious. Yup. They should really found a way to streamline this when they made this remaster. Hunts where the weather has to be a certain way were also annoying/tedious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2017 You guys are reminding me why this is my least favourite Final Fantasy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2017 Alternate title; Final Fantasy XII: An Exercise in Tedium. I got a Seitengrat. Initially I only found a brute force how to and it was basically "Spend hours zoning!" So I was amazed that anyone would get more than one. Further investigation yielded healing up with Reks and loading the autosave. I can get a chest 100% of the time now. I'm 1 for 3 on the timing of opening it though. Did it perfect the first time and fucked up the other two times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2017 Well, FFXII is still one of my favourite entries in the series. It was also partly my fault for making the hunts tedious as I haven't completed a single one until way into the storyline and then completing 17 in a row 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Haha, yeah they're best done as you go on with the main story. There's around 45 of them I think. I did a couple at a time during story to mix things up. I could imagine it's less fun if you go there overlevelled, beat it easily and you do the return trip straight away. If you intend do the 80 rare hunts as well, it's probably a good idea to do all in one area instead of having to keep returning. Anyway, I agree, it's on of my favourite entries. As for the Seitengrat, the reason why some people could get multiple in no time while others never got a single one is the way RNG works in the game. Basically everyone, through a number of reasons, has a different set of values when exiting the airship, with time and moving NPC will change the values further. The method does work for everyone, but what is a 20-step method for some is a 23-step method for others. The Reyk method just assures everyone have the same values when exiting the airship, so anything that happens after you exit is equal for everyone. With that method I got 6 in 8 tries, of them 5 in a row. Edited August 22, 2017 by Tales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
