Am I the only faggot who thinks this game is hard?
I can't beat fucking bahamut

[Anonymous No.919278]

The game is really only as hard as you make it. What jobs are you using?

[Anonymous No.919281]

>>919272
I'm playing it right now, it's about as "hard" as Chrono Trigger or FFVII.

[Anonymous No.919292]

>>919278
I'm switching between samurai and ninja with Butz, Faris is a summoner with lvl 5 jikuu and both Lenna and Cara are lvl 6 Black magicians with lvl 6 white magic, sometimes I change White magic with Blue

[Anonymous No.919294]

The game isn't hard. Stop being autistic.

It's hard until you realize it's a puzzle game, not a RPG.

[Anonymous No.919398]

Never fought Bahamut at the end of the game. I found the game pretty easy, maybe because Butz was a Ninja with Mystic Arts as a skill which made all encounters and majority of the bosses a cake walk.

Once I got gil toss without knowing it until trying it the game was pretty much over.

Get some damage dealers in your party, doesnt matter what you pick just whatever the hell you want

If you are in a boss set up 1 party member to know white magic and haste all (the time mage ability) Have him cast haste all at the start of the fight than just have him heal every time. Have your other 3 party members be literally any damager dealer in the game.

If you are in a dungeon just do normel attacks and than turn people into white mages out of combat and use heal


This how you go through the entire fucking game.

sweet you just saved me a lot of time. not going to bother playing.

[Anonymous No.919798]

Max out ranger, then switch to a tougher physical fighter and give them x-fight. Particularly deadly with Ninjas since they use 2 weapons.

this kills 95% of all enemies in the game.

Later on when you have everything maxed and using freelancers, mystic sword + x-fight with Brave Blade and Excalibur (I think) equipped kills everything else. You just have to nail their weakness, and you'll end up doing upwards 79992 damage with 1 turn setup and 1 turn attack.

Thing is, some of the last enemies in the game can kill you in half a turn, plus x-fight is random and may not kill some enemies due to focusing on any others on the map... and at least one of the behemoths in the Cleft of Dimensions counters with Meteo if it is hit physically.

Hardest FF game for me.

Then again, I was a lot older when I played FFI-III.

Oh whoops. Change the Mimes to Dualcast and Mimic. I forgot that Mimes can't have that many slots.

Well, it's the nineties Square game. The beginning of the end, as I call it. It really was the cancer.

Wow I never thought of it that way, I was doing it wrong obviously

[Anonymous No.920586]

Then don't complain about the difficulty.

[Anonymous No.920898]

>>919292
you dun goofed

butz should have been a hunter for a long time to get x-fight, and then switched to samurai, and used spellswords for boss fights

faris should have been a ninja/theif for a good portion of the game and migrated to dragoon

lenna should have been white mage, then summoner, and had her be an alchemist for a little bit to learn the mixes.

galuf/kara should have been the black mage/and blue mage for most of the game.

Has anyone ever beaten this guy? I am level 95(grinded for 4 hours in the final dungeon) and am nowhere close to beating him. I'm beginning to think it's impossible. Can it be done without cheating /vr/?

[Anonymous No.921582]

>>919272

maybe it depends on the setup. I hear that Atomos is very hard a lot but I remember having a couple of samurais raining GPtoss on it and ending the fight quickly.

[Anonymous No.921685]

I beat bahamut, had the game on quicksave, then my roomate took the game to play while on the toilet and reverted me hours. I just recently got back into it.

I used to think it was hard on my first playthrough, after that you master the damn thing.

That's kind of asshole of you. The fella's just looking for hints, not some in-depth guide on how to solve Neo Shinryu.

Sadly, I can't remember how I did him in, but I think I used a specific setup around level 60-70. I think Drink or Mix was one of the things I used.

[Anonymous No.921708]

Protip: the game isn't even hard without top tier parties.

Hermes Sandals + Berserk + Golem

Shinryu is a pussy.

[Anonymous No.921837]

>>919292
If you have two people who can caste level 6 white magic then just cast reflect on everyone as early as possible in the fight.

Bahamut will eventually use his mega flare attack, which will reflect off your four characters for ludicrous damage.

[Anonymous No.921841]

>>919483
If you're using rune axe then you'll probably get more damage from having a magic skill equipped rather than two handed.

Now, if your using the giant axe...

[Anonymous No.921848]

>>921841
Rune axe only takes like 5 MP for a critical. That will last you a while, even on a berserker.

[Anonymous No.921854]

>>919484
>This how you go through the entire fucking game.
That is one way to go through the game.

There is a huge number of workable solutions. Brute forcing with white magic and time magic is easy mode.

[Anonymous No.921865]

>>921848
Rune axe does damage based on your magic stat, as well as your strength.
Equipping a magic skill will boost a berserkers magic score from around 3 to around 40. This multiplies potential damage immensely.

[Anonymous No.921873]

>>921865

I just thought it gave you crits every hit and nothing else. Whops.

[Anonymous No.921880]

>>920552
>Hardest FF game for me.
That's because you're using the wrong tactics. Levels in ff5 do almost nothing. They slightly increase your damage output infrequently, give you more HP, give you more MP, and make status effects you cast more likely to hit while status effects enemies cast less likely to hit. That's it. No stats ever go up in the game. There is very little that levels actually give you. Very rarely does grinding for levels solve a goddamn thing.
>>921567
Give someone the flame lash and a reflect ring, turn them into a zombie, have the other party members use !hide, wait a few hours with the game on fastforward. Flame lash casts fire 3 sometimes, the zombie attacks themselves and bounces fire 3 onto neo shinryu, zombies can't ever die. He'll eventually cast mute, making all magic stop casting for the rest of the fight, and resort entirely to physical attacks, at which point !image from Ninja on multiple dudes renders him mostly harmless.

Alternatively: Find a chemist mix chart, mix up things that counter every attack he has, win fight, the end.
