this fucking gecko filters me
>dude just go and farm lmao
that's a shit game design I wont grind for hours to have a chance against this thing
>>
>>739305152
ffx is all grinding
other turn based rpgs let you skip all farming and make bosses puzzle battles but in this one everything is slow on purpose
>>
I never had to grind to beat anything in FFX main game, until the optional stuff.
Have you tried gitting gud OP.
>>
NSG (No Sphere Grid) is one of the most popular challenges in the franchise
you just suck
>>
>>739305152
FFX is the easiest FF tho
>>
I don't know if that's a hot take but X is really the same shitty hallway simulator as XIII.
>>
>>739305473
Nah, that's probably 4(original, not the DS version), to the point it's genuinely boring.
>>
>>739305547
X is a fun corridor with content
XIII is a bad corridor and it's empty
>>
>>739305441
you're a stupid faggot and definitely have muslims in your family there is no way to defeat this flying fuck without grinding
>>
>>739305550
I see this anon hasn't played 8 at all where you can become OP early game by card modding and junctioning and getting infinite holy wars.
>>
>>739305652
I did, but at least in 8 you have to grind for for that.
>>
>>739305648
this is a movie game made for toddlers with Simon says mechanics...
>>
>>739305152
Isn't Evrae vulnerable to Slow? (Can't remember, been a long time since I played)
Anyway, the big thing here is to make sure you can switch in Rikku to use the party-heal potions when Evrae does the big status breath attack. You definitely don't "need" to farm for this boss. It is one of the harder story bosses in my opinion, though.
>>
>>739305547
it's a cold take but it's only cold because people plug their ears and go LALALALA NOPE IT ISN'T NOPE
I still had more fun with X though because I literally beat 13 using auto battle only including all the side bosses. The only "gameplay" was switching paradigms
>>
>>739305868
you never played it
>>
i got stuck on Sin Spawn Gui and Seymour (Macalania Temple) as a 6 year old
when i played it again as a 10 year old i beat it no problem
didn't go for Penance until i was like 18 though, mostly because i didn't have a PS2 anymore
>>
>>739305152
OP has never heard of Cheer

>>739305909

For me it was the Seymor fight on mount Gagazet, dear Lord, fuck off already, dude.
>>
>>739306720
>Doesn't the game literally tell you
probably, but that doesn't mean shit. people can't read, that's why no one understands Junction in VIII despite the tutorial.
i doubt it tells you that you can stack it though
>>

>people have beaten no sphere grid
>NOPE NUH UH NOPE
>you can beat FF13 only using auto battle
>NOOOOOOOPE NO UH YOU DUMB NOPE
holy fucking shit you are the biggest tard on the planet if you can't believe that a JRPG is fundamentally easy
stick to gachas or something
>>
>>739305441
>No sphere grid is possible
>it's done by wasting even more time, praying to every god the enemy uses very specific attacks and using tons of items
Wow, this changes everything!
>>
>>739305152
Easy boss, just learn its mechanics idiot.
>>
>>739307643
i'd say using tons of items is pretty cool as the regular game is never challenging enough to really encourage much experimentation with what you actually have available
NSG is pretty tame, the real autistic shit is stuff like NSGNSNCNONENNENBB
the first half of NSG isn't that much different from a regular playthrough and once you get Rikku you can just break the game wide open anyway
>>
>>739305905
It is until the second phase where it counters slow with haste. You can even cheese it if you know how to never trigger the counter by never directly attacking it after a certain HP threshold.
>>
>>739305905
Looked it up, it is indeed vulnerable to Slow as well as Darkness. Just abuse it with status ailments, buff yourself, and switch in Rikku for healing, and you should win.
>>
>>739308015
Oh, I didn't remember it doing that. Is it possible to have Reflect at this point by warping someone onto Yuna's sphere grid so you can prevent that?
>>

>>739307929
well personally I never got walled by anything in the game but I got bored by how slow was it to play it so a more luck based alternative just seems like a torture to me
>>
>>739308114
Sure but I thought we are avoiding the grind. Probably easier to get a Star Curtain somewhere.

>>739308473
I genuinely forgot there were items to apply Reflect. My FF10 knowledge is failing me. LOL
But this thread is reminding me how good this game's combat system is. Now I kinda want to replay it again...
>>
>>739305152
>nOOO. O GRINDING IN MY JRPG IM LITERALLY SHAKING
Not made for this shit, straight up, guy like me? Not a big deal.
>>
blind him
>>
>>739309281
The only thing stopping me from replaying it a lot is the unskippable cutscenes. I guess last time wasn't so bad with x2 via emulation.
The system is pretty nice and bosses are actually weak to certain status effects which can turn them into a joke.
Last time I beat Evrae on an Ability Spheres Only Challenge was by having Auron spam Guard after buffing the shit out of him and only doing damage via counterattacks.
>>
>>739305652
>deliberately break the game
>"wtf the game is broken"
I will never understand this kind of retardation.
>>
>>739305152
Why would you need to grind for evrae? Like genuinely what the fuck is your game state?
>>
>>739309908
Please understand they have no Haste, Cheer, Focus, Reflex, Slow, Darkness or a supply of Al-Bhed potions coming out of Bikanel.
>>
>>739305547
Linearity isn't inherently bad. 13 has far more serious issues.

>>739309801
Using all the resources at your disposal and finding ways to optimize things is fun. Having to hold back from doing that because because the game's balance breaks in half if you make any effort at all to engage with the mechanics is unsatisfying.
>>
>>739305152
Is this the one where you just throw a phoenix down at it and it dies?
>>
>>739310821
No, that's the other encounter with it.
>>
>>739306837
I love this game, played it half a dozen times and had no idea you could stack cheer
>>
>>739310664
>any effort at all to engage with the mechanics
That absolutely doesn't describe the exploits most people do when playing 8.

No it fucking isn't you retard, you weren't rotating your roster while you were fighting random encounters and now you have to grind to beat the boss.

The game straight up tells you in multiple ways "hey, rotate your fucking roster to deal with different encounters" and you stuck to the same team over and over like an autist.
>>
>>739305152
Evrae is like the first enemy in the game that takes strategy and you're getting filtered lmao lemaoooooooooo LMAO!
>you need go grind in ffx
I beat that shit no sphere grid when I was like 12 perhaps 13s auto battle is more your style senpai
>>
I guess i activated some super boss post content because Dark Ixion just showed up and one shot my group for 99999 hp. I just want to explore for al bhed letters and shit. What the fuck is this?
>>
>>739314524
dw, you are not supposed to be fighting Dark Ixion or any of the Dark Aeons early, it's an optional extra boss.
>>
>>739314524
The content is just there, just avoid suspicious Yevon priests and little kids.
Only 2 superbosses actually block backtracking iirc.
>>
>>739314612
>>739314747
I also can't enter Besaid village because there's an unskipable cutscene before dark Valefor rapes me. I'll just go to Bevelle like the main story wants me to.
>>
>>739307441
Nah Im just saying you're lying about FF13
Got proofs? better boot up that youtube playthrough before the thread dies lol
>>
>>739313760
>Implying I didn't use the "correct" character for every fight
No, if anything being able to rotate the roster makes the grinding longer and more tedious
>>
>>739314793
yeah once you fuck with Yevon by killing seymour you're on the temples shitlist and they send the temple guardian or whatever the dark summons are supposed to be after your ass.
>>

hahahaa I hope you didn't forget the treasure sphere in besaid temple LMAOOOO

>>739313760
not even necessary, you can keep your b-team good enough by just cycling through them against mandatory bosses.
>>
>>739314876
they made it as seamless and fast as possible for a reason, if anything it takes more time to not do it because you're skipping out on free xp for no reason.

You stupid, fucking bitch.

He takes a whole round preparing the breath lmao. It's even predictable in the way he does it after every 3 other turns. Time to learn how turn order works and move the airship away.

I had a cheat disk in a gaming magazine that gave me infinite gil, I cheesed my way through the main game throwing gil since I got filtered by seymour flux in a previous playthrough

Yuna isn't available here, and you don't get Yojimbo under later in the game anyway.
>>
>>739315718
What AIDS nigger? You shouldn't be getting hit by poison breath. Do something about petrification and slow, it's only a single target status and you get a lot of turns.

Get a friend/teleportation sphere

Take Yuna, put her somewhere on the Auron tree that has +4 strength, go out and grind a bit, focus on getting more strength on Yuna.

Your Bahamut will basically one shot everything and your other summons will be strong enough to beat the game with, hurray, you beat FFX

>1/3 of total damage reduction from Cheer x5
>halved damage from Protect
Not sure if this is how the game actually runs the math, but dang that would be taking 1/3 of the intended damage in the end, or 2/3 reduction.
>>
>>739315664
seriously cheer is so good, especially when the whole team knows it.
>>
>>739305152
This game is easy, if a boss is filtering you then you're just retarded and probably fled from every encounter

Zoomer behavior desu
>>
>>739316012
you can also craft + 20% physical defense on Armor
>>
>>739305152
git
gud
>>
>>739316130
Is that 1/5 reduction or +20% to your defense stat? If it's the latter, that's a fuckton of defensive power.
>>
>>739316248
it's 20% damage reduction, i worded it poorly
>>
>>739316276
Not too significant if you are already under Protect/Shell + Focus x5/Cheer x5 then, unless somehow you are getting oneshot either way(shouldn't happen unless you are at like, base HP)
>>
WHY HE CAN FUCKING HIT ME THROUGH DARKNESS
HIS EYES ARE OBSCURED AND HE STILL SPRAYS HIS BULLSHIT ALL OVER MY SHIT
>>
>>739316439
it's been too long now but i'm pretty sure i did the superbosses with it on my armor while going in with 9999 HP
i think it helped with surviving certain things while other things you'd just auto phoenix

>>
>>739316605
Haven't played in a long time, but the poison AoE might not roll accuracy checks at all. Or even defense checks.
You are meant to avoid it with the airship gimmick.
>>
>>739316012
It's a bit complicated because there are more attack types than magical/physical and what protects against what but that's basically how it works yeah. Cheer/Focus stacking is strong offensively early and defensively late.
>>
retarded shit "game" it's impossible to not get nuked in normal games you can outgame the system but in Shit Fantasy X you just have to take the bukkake loads of the monstrous vermin
>>
>>739305152
son are you retarded? i beat this game when i was 10 with the closest thing to a road block being seymour flux
>>
>>739316848
yes but actually you can just ignore it with shell and al-bhed potions
>>
>>739316785
The bombs do piss damage. Reduce it with Focus stacks or Lunar curtains. Reflex helps dodge the scythe attack. Git gud you conteroller monkey, learn the fight.
>>
Slow the cunt
>>
>>739317000
>Shell
Does that protect you from status in FFX, or it it because it counts as a magical attack?
>>
>>739317107
yeah it's a magic attack
>>
>>739317164
Do I want to know
Wish JRPGs were more forthcoming with information in-game, many people feel like the only option is grindan because you will have to try things randomly or read up a wiki.
>>
Be a real chad, have everyone learn lancet and go Yuna's route.
Surprisingly fun run actually.
>>
>>739305152
>design I wont grind for hours to have a chance against this thing

sounds like JRPGs are just not your cup of tea
>>
>>739317357
I generally agree, but you do have a 50% chance of guessing correctly about the attack type.
If there's any doubt, you can just make sure at least one party member has Protect and at least one has Shell so you can figure out if it's physical or magic.
>>
inb4 OP dies before reaching a savepoint after finally defeating it.
>>
>>739309801
8 is a great game, but he said easiest you retard.
>>739305718
You literally don't grind for it, it's the opposite, you play a fucking card game, get the spells from the card and junction them.

Getting infinite holy wars is just modding a card then winning it back. There's no exploit or glitches, literally the easiest FF.
>>
>>739317752
>you play a fucking card game
Using the term "grinding" loosely here, but that would count.
>>
>>739317357
FFX can be misleading a lot of the times but it's not until you start delving really deep that you notice it. For a casual gamer things should work as stated 99% of the time.
>>
This is why nu-releases have boosters in them, gen Z wants to have everything handed to them instantly. This is why nu-games saki kaki.
>>
>>739317752
>You literally don't grind for it, it's the opposite, you grind
lol
>>
>>739305152
Just wondering, can you show us your character builds here so we can find out what the problem is? Either something is horribly wrong with your build, or you've only tried the boss like three times and are already throwing in the towel.
