Pardon me for double posting here!
So okay. It's now major grind time.
I just got 3/4 of the new jobs (Necromancer requires you beat the game first), so I'm going to be working on my final build. Already mastered monk on everyone, there's more jobs I want to master for the stats. Like thief, and on my mage charas (I used the sisters) they both have white and black mage for the mp ups.
It's a great game, shame we got it so late! And I agree, sad story. Only changes from the GBA seem to be some graphics/sprite changes and a auto mode that I only use when grinding; I had my brother come in and laugh at the graphics. Screw him lol, if this is the only way I can play it legal without spending like $100 on the cart (and might get pirated)..I'm cool with it.
The auto-mode is blessing when you are grinding. If you could also speed up the battles like in Bravely Default, it would be perfect.
It seems that some gamers only care about graphics these days, and that is sad.
I do feel that Sqaure could have put a little more effort to the port, but since I don`t know anything about porting, I am not sure how hard that is.
There are only a few jobs that I have mastered with everyone, but I am doing fine. The games clock hit 31 hours, and I feel that I am reaching the end. I fear that since I have not grinded that many jobs to the max, it might cause me trouble later. I have only one of the magical tablets left, I have gotten Meteor, Flare, Holy and etc.... It feels great to crush your foes with those high tear spells.
Oh, I also did some side stuff! Traveled around the world with Boko to get the Mirage Vest, found the Magical Lam, got my ass kicked by the Mimic boss that lurks underwater etc... One of the biggest surprises to me was that I managed to beat Bahamut with lv 47 characters. I Put Float to everyone so Bahamut`s earth attack would not hit me, then Hastega. Spammed Attack with Samurai Bartz, Meteor with Krile, Jump and Healing with Faris (Krile also had white magic, Arise his god send!), and Lenna had the Monk job and Summoning. I used Monk because of the high HP it gives so I could survive Mega Flare. I got really lucky on my third attempt since Bahamut did not use Mega Flare a single time, and I just kept attacking. Now I am the proud owner of Bahamut summon!
The only ones I have left are Leviathan, and I think Odin is also in this game?
