Haven't read the article because of the spoilers, but apparently the author has penned some pretty terrible articles. I'll leave it at that until I finish the game, I guess. Which might be awhile because I just started my first Chapter 4 lol. When did you guys go for the secret sub-jobs?
I went for Sorcerer after I completed one chap 4 but more importantly when I had at least 3 party members around level 51-53. You need to have a gameplan though, just going in and adapting will get you killed. I took advantage of the saving grace ability which lets you heal up to 9999 if you use it right. I had Alfyn in the party concocting items that bring you up to 9999. Be careful though, once your character surpasses their HP limit, you can't add more until their HP goes back down to what they really have, if that makes sense haha. So concocting purifying seed and essence of grape allows you to heal 9999. Double check though i'm not positive. The bosses all have 200k HP so its a fucking long battle. I couldn't believe I won one.
Yeah the Saving Grace/Concoct strategy is the one I've read about. Sounds like a freaking grind fest lol. Kinda can't wait. I've heard the Warmaster shrine boss is absurdly hard.
Yeah I did sorcerer because I read it's the easiest. Also, using leghold is clutch as well. I have olberic as a hunter also so I have him use it.
I mean, they are right. I didn't even follow the story and thought that it was pretty gross and outdated.
I’m on Chapter 2s so reading about having 9999 health in mind boggling to me lol. I was excited about my 2000 health.
Lol I mean theoretically you could get the 9999 HP as well, you can learn Saving grace pretty early with your cleric.
I guess I haven’t messed around with Alfyn very much yet. The concoct thing seemed complicated so I parked his ass in the tavern haha
Concoct can be the most broken thing in the game if utilized correctly. It really is necessary for later parts of the game.
Yea when I found out about Alfyn's Concoct ability I just got vivid flashbacks of Rikku's Mix from FFX haha
Just beat H'aanit's final chapter. Since she was my main, the credits rolled and I now have the ability to remove her from my party. Why would I? She's a badass. Now I've got 6 more final chapters, the secret job shrines, and the secret final boss! This game is daunting!
I'll have to check out the reqs for this secret final boss. Finished Olberic, Alfyn, and Cyrus's quests, everyone else is on their chapter 4's. I just found out about those secret jobs which is a game changer. I nearly beat the Warmaster but couldn't pull it off, got the Archmagus so I'm feeling good about the going back for the fight.
Yeah. Still smashing everybody. Died on my first chapter two boss once but everything else has been pretty easy since.
If you're not feeling it after finishing all eight Chapter 1 stories, then it might not be for you. It definitely gets harder and opens up more and there's tons of stuff to do with sidequests, jobs, etc.
Did 9999 damage for the first time. Spanked another chapter 2 boss. Walked into it with half health and still beat it easily. I think I’m a bit overpowered for chapter 2.
Just finished my 7th chapter 4 story. I only have Ophelia's left. She's by far my least favorite so I saved her for last.. I also completed the Sorcerer and Starseer shrines. I'm about to go for the Runelord job next. Sitting at about 62 hours and my main is level 72. I love this game!
I'm also on my final story which is Tressa. Getting the Sorcerer made getting all the other secret jobs a lot easier. I died for the first time in awhile last night going in cocky on a Direwolf in a side dungeon.
Is that the Forest of Purgation boss? That's supposed to be a tough one! And yeah the sorcerer just blasts everything away, it's awesome.
Yeah that sounds right. If they have elemental weakness being able to take 3 hits without having to boost is such a game changer. Cyrus has also never left my party so his damage is next to OP. If I'm recalling correctly the Direwolf constantly blocks elemental weakness with wolves that don't have any, so that's what really screwed me up.
Just beginning chapter two for everyone. Beat Primrose's, moving on to Tressa's next, I think. Been grinding like crazy to get everyone up to spec, but haven't had much time to play lately which is a bummer. Hoping to get some more in tomorrow/this weekend, especially with DQXI on the horizon.
I might try to finish my Chap 4's this weekend, took a couple weeks break because there are 3409534905 other games i've been playing on Switch.
fell off this for a few weeks, restarted with Ophelia as my main and just got to her Chapter 2 boss. Got it into the red then it wiped out my whole team in a single turn lol
