So I've noticed Shadow's Throw got nerfed. The guide says it still ignored defense, but I don't see him doing anywhere near as much damage as in the original. Was the 2x multiplier removed?

[Anonymous No.8822565]

Holy shit, I had the hardest time with Fiend, and not because he was actually hard, but because the fucker refused to use Force Field no matter how much I waited for him to use it so Strago could learn it, and I ended up having to restart several times before I decided to delve into the monster script files.

Turns out he will ONLY use it if you cast Magic on him in his second phase, but he gains Reflect status during this phase, so it doesn't count if you cast a spell and it bounces off of his Reflect. So yeah, you have to cast Dispel on him, and THEN he'll counter with Force Field whenever you cast Magic at him.

[Anonymous No.8822680]

Well, I got cocky after defeating Fiend, and figured Goddess wouldn't be too bad either.

Holy shit, was I wrong. That fight is FUCKED. Granted, the team I brought to fight her is probably the worst possible one I could've brought (all but one are at a level which is a multiple of 4, so she's spamming Lv. 4 Hold like you wouldn't believe, and I didn't bring Locke or Gogo, so I had Shadow try to fill in as a Thief with the Thief Knife to steal that Save the Queen, which is severely handicapping him), but she goes absolutely nuts in her second phase. I believe sometimes she attacks FOUR times in a row. First I've seen a boss do that.

I think I'm gonna have to remake my teams, and traverse the damn tower again, because I am not making good headway with this one...

[Anonymous No.8822691]

>>8822680
Also, the number of things you have to protect against is INSANE. She casts Holy and Thunder-elemental magic, uses Stop on characters if their level is a multiple of 4, inflicts Sleep, Blind and later on Zombie status... so you have to equip shit that protects against Holy, Thunder, Blind, Sleep and Zombie, AND make sure your characters' levels aren't a multiple of four. That probably requires at least three or four separate equips per person to protect against all that. Jesus Christ.

Lord almighty, I finally did it, but it was a hell of a ride.

First, I exited the tower and remade my teams. Since I needed only team members whose levels were not divisible by four, I went with a team of Celes, Shadow, Sabin and Gogo to go fight her (they all fulfilled this condition, and Gogo can steal), and fitted them all with Safety Bits/Memento Rings, Ribbons, and equips that nullified or resisted Holy and Thunder. After all the Esper buffs, almost nothing she did in her first phase could hurt me, so I took my time to steal the Save the Queen, then started to whittle her down (her Evasion is crazy high, so Tiger Rush missed more often than not, and so I went with Phantom Rush instead).

Come her second phase, she got more annoying, and this is where I realized I actually forgot to put a Ribbon on Gogo, so he was getting hit by ailments left and right. Still, all was well, until... she cast Silent Prayer, and summoned FUCKING CRUSADER HOLY SHIT

...

Thankfully, I had ReRaise cast on everyone from multiple Asura summons, so I survived that, but she quickly killed off Shadow and Sabin, and one Quasar later, Gogo fell asleep, the fucker. I noticed, however, her Regen was regaining very little health, which indicated she was low on health, so I did a Hail Mary and cast Meteor with Celes, and that finished her off.

I fucking love this game, but goddamn.

The warring triad ain't no joke.

[Anonymous No.8822917]

>>8822907
And how! Demon is now kicking my ass something fierce. He uses both Fire and Wind-elemental attacks, and while I have plenty of Fire-proof equips, I have a grand total of three equips that absorb or nullify Wind, and one of them is exclusive to Mog, who is not on the team fighting him, so Merton is a big problem. Also, I once again run into the issue of him casting a level-specific spell, namely Lv. 3 Flare, which is deadly for two of my characters. And if I thought Goddess attacked too many times per turn in her second phase... Demon is even crazier still. At least he doesn't inflict any status ailments, so that's good, but even so I don't know if my current team can take him.

Is my game bugged? I'm on WOR and every time I enter the auction only that lunar curtain appears, it doesn't matter if I take it or don't, has this happened to you guys?

[Anonymous No.8825253]

I don't think I saw this mentioned in the bug reports, but apparently the Edgar discount at Figaro and South Figaro doesn't apply if he's wearing a costume, or at least not with the Dragoon one. Once I switched back to regular, the discount applied. Just thought I'd bring it up in case someone else runs into it.

[Anonymous No.8825258]

>>8825071
The RNG fucked me a couple times where it would be stuck on lunar curtains. I would go get in a random encounter and that usually triggered something else. I am pretty sure that the odds of getting a lunar curtain are very very common though so it takes forever

[Anonymous No.8825269]

>>8825258

just trophy things and espers if you didn't get them in the wob. I don't think I ever used lunar curtains or feather boots even against adamantoise

[Anonymous No.8825290]

>>8825276
I used Lunar Curtains on my mages for a good while since they give very good Magic and Magic Defense boosts, but they started annoying the shit out of me once the game got harder and my characters got hit by attacks that put them in low health, which triggers the Auto-Reflect and makes it harder to heal them, so I started using Ribbons instead.

What's the best way to play FFVI for the first time? I've heard that the SNES version has better music and visuals but the GBA version has a better translation and is uncensored. I've seen something called TWUE that says it combines the best of all versions and fixes some bugs without changing the game. Is that the one to play?

[Anonymous No.8826848]

>>8826710
You already asked this last thread.

[Anonymous No.8826864]

>>8825253
This bug is probably triggered by the costumes themselves and will occur every time any other costume is put on Edgar.
AFAIK the costumes are their own separate sprites and not a literal costume put on top of the original Edgar.
So the author probably forgot to put the same discount flag on Edgar's other costumes.

[Anonymous No.8826868]

>>8825253

So I'd say it's more of an oversight rather than a bug unless it only occurs while the Dragoon costume is on.

I last played it (before this mod, of course) with the TWUE mod, and it was alright. No real big glaring flaws with it that I could see. It gets hated on a lot lately because the guy behind it is a bit of an insecure douche, and he doesn't know a lick of moon so he didn't actually translate shit, but the mod itself seemed fine. Just the QoL changes and uncensorship alone were nice, everything else was icing. So for a first-time playthrough, you could definitely do worse.

Fuck's sake, I finally beat Demon. Took a ton of restarts, a shitton of luck and several Megalixirs, but I ended up resorting to a strategy of doing everything humanly possible to keep Strago alive and fighting and just bruteforcing his ass with Grand Delta. He almost cucked me out of a win by summoning Siren which, even though I was protected against Wind, muted Strago right when he was one Grand Delta away from victory but close to dying, but I was somehow able to remove that and was lucky enough not to die in the process.

Alrighty then, off to the Sealed Cave...

[Anonymous No.8831873]

>>8831796
Dino Forest is the best. Just save after every fight or use smoke bombs against brachiosaurs.
The plot of land to the right of the dino forest where you can run up and down is good too but significantly lower in exp.
Just vanish hourself and spam magic/anything that doesnt remove vanish.
The silver lining is that despite the lower exp they occasionally drop crystal mails which sell for lot of gil per pop.

Good ones that I remember are those that have Mog's animals as their special, one of them puts Reraise on the entire party. Mog's animals are imbalanced on their own and Gau gives you access to them with lesser rng than using Animal Arts. I forgot the names of the specific Rages but Rage screen shows the special so it'd be easy to look for them:
Racoon (Heal and status ailments are healed) Tapir (Reraise), Meerkat (basically a Mighty Guard), and Snow Panther(Blink + Heal) are the good ones.
I used Gau as a supportive member so that's what I got. Imo Tapir is imbalanced along with Raccoon.

One thing about the Veldt now that is annoying me is that you now fight enemies that Gau can't even Rage, so many of the encounters there are wastes of time, not to mention it also makes it harder to find Rages you don't already have.

This is correct, all pub quests that use the same layout as another map is different and the chests are entirely separate from the "original" map like South Figaro Cave and its different versions depending on the South Figaro Pub Quest that you take.

Decided to do a Fuck It Hail Mary Tiger Rush, MISSED THE FUCKING BLITZ INPUTS FFFFFFFFF and he miraculously blocked Wave Cannon after. Finally got the inputs right the second time, with him at like 600 health, and that actually finished her off.

I figured her worst damage attack outside of Ultima and Perfect Ultima was Wave Cannon, which she casts very frequently in the third phase, so I decided to get everyone's Magic Evasion as high as possible since it's blockable, and it actually paid the fuck off.

Best believe I never take them off now. Damn near everything in the late WoR tries to inflict some or even multiple status ailments.

By the way, what's your take on evasion and magic evasion maxing in this version? Multiple characters can achieve the former (most notably Locke and Shadow, and several others can as well with Merit Awards), but it seems 128 Magic Evasion is impossible (Celes gets the closest at 124 or thereabouts IIRC). Still, is it worth murdering your defenses for the other stat to achieve?

Am I missing something? The only notable Gogo nerf I can determine is his lack of MP. I guess he also does lose the Wind God setup (which was taken out from the GBA version onwards) and his 126 MBlock setup (again, lost from the GBA version onwards, and isn't a unique nerf to Gogo anyway). Otherwise, his stats are much better, particularly with costumes, and he has a much wider selection of equipment.

I went through most of the WoR skipping random encounters, and I hit a wall at Bahamut, so I ended up leveling to 48 or so. After that, I hit a wall at the Fiends in the Crystal Tower, so I leveled to 55 and beat everything including Ultima through smart team setups and sheer fucking luck.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing not skipping any encounters at all might've gotten me there in the end anyway.

[Anonymous No.8853287]

>>8849936
What you need here is to have a spread of relics and characters that make sense. What I did was have Terra with Maduin's horn (X-magic), the Hero Shield and Economizer, T. Rouge, Dragoon Edgar with Gungir (Multi-Jump), Gauntlet and Hyper, Setzer with Fixed Dice, Genji Shield, Barrier and Offering, and Locke with Orihalcum, Genji Shield, a Ribbon and Barrier, and everyone in the back row.

Edgar and Locke both have very high speed, so they can forgo Haste, and Edgar can jump to avoid most things and he delivers huge damage and is required for Babaraccia. Locke can use items, steal and cast Hastega or Araise. You need Locke to deal with a lot of status problems or if your party gets Disaster'd or zombified, he'll the the only one who can unfuck everything.

Terra has 1 MP dualcasts so she can cast Curaga, Araise, Esuna and Ultima. Setzer will occasionaly hit for huge amounts of damage, and can otherwise be a backup cast of Curaga or Araise as he has a lot of health and usually survives since we gave him Barrier.

The four characters work together and can deal with any bullshit that the Soul Shrine throws at it, it has good DPS and is resilient enough to bullshit statuses without having to over-commit to nerfing characters by giving them all status equipment. Instead it just buffs Locke's def and speed and relies on him to fix things up when things go awry. A few times when the party has wiped and only Edgar survived, and I've been able to just use Jump over and over and that's been enough to win.

My Edgar is consistently hitting like 15-17k every jump. But does the Brave Ring stack with Gauntlet's damage improvement in this version? I just figured I should try to improve the damage in two different ways, but I never bothered to test it.

[Anonymous No.8853476]

>>8853464
I'm assuming for the most part the algorithms work like vanilla. There, as far as physical damage boosts went, Gauntlet > Hero Ring > Hyper Wrist. And the way the algorithms worked, the Hero Ring boost would apply after the Gauntlet boost if you were to use both together.

>>8853548
Yep. It's also mentioned in the Beginner's School

[Anonymous No.8853551]

>>8853526
I take that to refer to the Relics that act as straightforward damage multipliers. In vanilla, two Earrings or one Earring plus one Hero Ring would stack and net you 150% Magic damage (this did not apply to physicals, so two Atlas Armlets or one AA plus a Hero Ring didn't stack). This indeed was taken away in T-Edition. The Gauntlet, however, is different in that it doubles weapon attack power (in vanilla, it didn't even do this much IIRC), so it is fundamentally a different physical power-up than Brave Ring.

I'll do some tests later to clear this up one and for all.

[Anonymous No.8853574]

>>8853551
This is unrelated, but I achieved an interesting situation with Shadow using the Gauntlet. Because his dual-wielding is innate in this version, equipping the Gauntlet grants the damage boost while still allowing him to dual-wield. It ups his power substantially without limiting him. I usually build Shadow as an evasion tank (like in the Odin fight to survive Zantetsuken) but you can get some pretty decent DPS out of him if you do this, especially in the earlier game.

[Anonymous No.8853593]

>>8853574
Never thought to try this. I'll check it out.

Anyway, I just tested it, and indeed Gauntlet and Brave Ring Stack. I fought against some randoms near the Dinosaur Forest, and without any relics using the Gungnir Spear's multi-jump, I was doing around 5000 damage per jump. Adding the Gauntlet, that went up to around a bit more than 8000 damage. Adding the Hyper Wrist, it resulted in about 9000 damage, but replacing it with the Brave Ring brought Edgar up to the 10000 damage mark. So altogether, Gauntlet + Brave Ring about doubled the damage against these enemies in particular, all else being equal. And just as I suspected, Brave Ring does indeed do more work than Hyper Wrist, along with bestowing slightly better stat boosts in general.

Yeah, I would only maybe consider Hyper Wrist for physical specials such as Bushido, particularly for the four-hit techs, as their attack power is actually pretty low, so Hyper Wrist's +50% Strength boost is actually decent in proportion. For anything else, though? The damage boost is modest at best, so there's usually something more worthwhile to use.

You know, the character I'm struggling to find a clear use case for is Celes. Even in Vanilla she was considered Terra-lite since they were basically identical in every way except for their specials, and it's obvious whose was better. The one thing she had going for her was being the easiest character to achieve 128 MBlock with, and even then Terra was right behind and could have the exact same setups and only miss the perfect MBlock stat by a single point, which is practically the same. And she doesn't even have that here. So why would I ever use her over Terra?

Are you referring to Carbuncle and Catoblepas? If so, I think you're SOL. It's not THE biggest deal in the world, mind you, but if it bothers you, perhaps starting a New Game+ at the earliest possible opportunity (I think you can do it as soon as you get the Falcon) may not be a bad idea.

You get it from Asura, who you can only fight after beating Leviathan. However, you can also get it likely earlier from a certain equipment.
