this fucking gecko filters me>dude just go and farm lmaothat's a shit game design I wont grind for hours to have a chance against this thing
>>739305152ffx is all grindingother 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 franchiseyou just suck
>>739305152FFX 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.
>>739305473Nah, that's probably 4(original, not the DS version), to the point it's genuinely boring.
>>739305547X is a fun corridor with contentXIII is a bad corridor and it's empty
>>739305441you're a stupid faggot and definitely have muslims in your family there is no way to defeat this flying fuck without grinding
>>739305550I 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.
>>739305652I did, but at least in 8 you have to grind for for that.
>>739305648this is a movie game made for toddlers with Simon says mechanics...
>>739305152Isn'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.
>>739305547it's a cold take but it's only cold because people plug their ears and go LALALALA NOPE IT ISN'T NOPEI 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
>>739305868you never played it
i got stuck on Sin Spawn Gui and Seymour (Macalania Temple) as a 6 year oldwhen i played it again as a 10 year old i beat it no problemdidn't go for Penance until i was like 18 though, mostly because i didn't have a PS2 anymore
>>739305152OP has never heard of Cheer
>>739305909no you didnt
>>739306472one of the first things you get and maybe 10% of players even know what it does
>>739305152>spend an hour fighting him>get rekt by flamethrower right aftersoul
>>739306472He probably never thought about clicking anything but attack, Cura and Raise.>>739306606Doesn't the game literally tell you
>>739306472cheer does fuck all against his poison this game sucks I hate jrpgs
>>739305152For me it was the Seymor fight on mount Gagazet, dear Lord, fuck off already, dude.
>>739306720>Doesn't the game literally tell youprobably, 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
>>739306516>people have beaten no sphere grid>NOPE NUH UH NOPE>you can beat FF13 only using auto battle>NOOOOOOOPE NO UH YOU DUMB NOPEholy fucking shit you are the biggest tard on the planet if you can't believe that a JRPG is fundamentally easystick 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 itemsWow, this changes everything!
>>739305152Easy boss, just learn its mechanics idiot.
>>739307643i'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 availableNSG is pretty tame, the real autistic shit is stuff like NSGNSNCNONENNENBBthe 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
>>739305905It 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.
>>739305905Looked 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.
>>739308015Oh, 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?
Never forget
>>739307929well 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
>>739308114Sure but I thought we are avoiding the grind. Probably easier to get a Star Curtain somewhere.
>>739305550Only if you played one of the shitty ports that fucks it up.
>>739305330>>739305648>>739306819>zoomers are literally dumber than cave men>>739305389>>739305441This, desu. OP is a faggot with major skill issues. And maybe only half a brain.
>>739309157tranny
>>739308473I genuinely forgot there were items to apply Reflect. My FF10 knowledge is failing me. LOLBut 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 SHAKINGNot made for this shit, straight up, guy like me? Not a big deal.
blind him
>>739309281The 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.
>>739305152Why would you need to grind for evrae? Like genuinely what the fuck is your game state?
>>739309908Please understand they have no Haste, Cheer, Focus, Reflex, Slow, Darkness or a supply of Al-Bhed potions coming out of Bikanel.
>>739305547Linearity isn't inherently bad. 13 has far more serious issues.>>739309801Using 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.
>>739305152Is this the one where you just throw a phoenix down at it and it dies?
>>739310821No, that's the other encounter with it.
>>739306837I 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 mechanicsThat absolutely doesn't describe the exploits most people do when playing 8.
>>739305330No 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.
>>739305152Evrae is like the first enemy in the game that takes strategy and you're getting filtered lmao lemaoooooooooo LMAO!>you need go grind in ffxI 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?
>>739314524dw, you are not supposed to be fighting Dark Ixion or any of the Dark Aeons early, it's an optional extra boss.
>>739314524The content is just there, just avoid suspicious Yevon priests and little kids.Only 2 superbosses actually block backtracking iirc.
>>739314612>>739314747I 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.
>>739307441Nah Im just saying you're lying about FF13Got proofs? better boot up that youtube playthrough before the thread dies lol
>>739313760>Implying I didn't use the "correct" character for every fightNo, if anything being able to rotate the roster makes the grinding longer and more tedious
>>739314793yeah 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.
>>739314793>>739314524>he boughted the HD remaster/fell for the international edition memehahahaa I hope you didn't forget the treasure sphere in besaid temple LMAOOOO
>>739313760not even necessary, you can keep your b-team good enough by just cycling through them against mandatory bosses.
>>739314876they 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.
>>739305152>ZanmatoNothing personnel kid
>>739315096Anon...
>>739310394you FAGGOT cheer and focus does nothing my team still gets wiped when he breathes poison
>>739315403You stupid, fucking bitch.
>>739315403He 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
>>739311743it's underrated
>>739315471>>739315568I spend most of the time healing up after this fucker spreads AIDS on me and I'm running out of meds shit game I hope square enix will tank
>>739315096Yuna isn't available here, and you don't get Yojimbo under later in the game anyway.
>>739315718What 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.
>>739305152Get a friend/teleportation sphereTake 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
>>739315904how am I supposed to not get fucking hit by poison? It's AOE
>>739305152>zoomer shit at easy old video games thread #53211
>>739315664>1/3 of total damage reduction from Cheer x5>halved damage from ProtectNot 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.
>>739315664seriously cheer is so good, especially when the whole team knows it.
>>739305152This game is easy, if a boss is filtering you then you're just retarded and probably fled from every encounterZoomer behavior desu
>>739316012you can also craft + 20% physical defense on Armor
>>739305152gitgud
>>739316130Is that 1/5 reduction or +20% to your defense stat? If it's the latter, that's a fuckton of defensive power.
>>739316248it's 20% damage reduction, i worded it poorly
>>739316276Not 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 DARKNESSHIS EYES ARE OBSCURED AND HE STILL SPRAYS HIS BULLSHIT ALL OVER MY SHIT
>>739316439it's been too long now but i'm pretty sure i did the superbosses with it on my armor while going in with 9999 HPi think it helped with surviving certain things while other things you'd just auto phoenix
>>739315995Move the airship you retarded ape.
>>739305152lol I beat this guy when I was 8/9 years old anon, get fucking good at video games
>>739316643
>>739316643BUT THEN HE FUCKING BOMBS ME EVERY TURN DO I LOOK LIKE I LIVE IN FUCKING DRESDEN? FUCK YOU
>>739305152if it turns out this nigger didn't even equip items on his characters i'm going to lose my shit
>>739316605Haven'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.
>>739316012It'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
>>739305152son are you retarded? i beat this game when i was 10 with the closest thing to a road block being seymour flux
>>739316848yes but actually you can just ignore it with shell and al-bhed potions
>>739316785The 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>ShellDoes that protect you from status in FFX, or it it because it counts as a magical attack?
>>739317107yeah it's a magic attack
>>739317164Do I want to knowWish 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 thingsounds like JRPGs are just not your cup of tea
>>739317357I 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.
>>7393098018 is a great game, but he said easiest you retard.>>739305718You 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 gameUsing the term "grinding" loosely here, but that would count.
>>739317357FFX 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 grindlol
>>739305152Just 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.
