FFT: Newtype (Playable Demo in One Week, Armor Posted)

[Dokurider]

The chair's a ninja???

[Eternal]

Update: new monster skills are about halfway done. I'm feeling a lot better, but now I'm getting stuff ready for my job next month. So yeah, still working on stuff, it's just kind of slow going right now.

my game is frozen here, the sprites are still moving moving but Dycedarg won't turn into a zodiac monster. I made it this far in the battle before and it never happened, don't know why it's doing it now.

EDIT: just restarted from a savestate I took a little before this, still not working. Dycedarg says his lines and then he falls over, and the part where the Zodiac stones comes out SHOULD be happening.

on a related not I couldn't get the scene where you first see cloud to trigger earlier, could this have the same cause?

[Samuraiblackbelt]

ok, so now I reloaded the same savestate twice and the Dycedarg issue is working, I have no idea what's different, but it's working now. Haven't tried the Cloud sidequest yet.
EDIT: Cloud sidequest is STILL not working.

[Eternal]

Well... the only things I touched with the Balthier sidequest was the dialogue. I didn't change the requirements or anything, so I really have no idea what's wrong.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

I probably didn't buy the flower....I could have sworn I did though, oh well.

Any tips on fighting Elidibs, final eclipse is really gay and im stuck cause its range is really big

[Eternal]

Well, Jade Armlets halve Dark, which is what element Final Eclipse is. Also, Jujitsu Gi can block the Death side-effect from it. Keep your people separated as much as possible.

Also, I have to ask: why didn't you post anything about your playthrough until now? I'd have loved to have heard your opinions. ^_^

[J Viper]

I dont know had no problems till now, im not the talking type.

The patch however is very fun and challanging especially this deep dungeon, killing Algus again in Mlapan was enjoyable but i post more often now

[Eternal]

Sounds good! I look forward to hearing from you. =D

[J Viper]

Elidibs is down thanks to Eternal248s suggestion of jade armlets final eclipse wasent that bad then.

I used meliadouls mind ruin and his attacks did below 100.  Healed with murasame after every attack and he was forced to just do his melee attack that did 15 damage.

[Kagebunji]

I think I will cheat in all this "searching for one panel" in DD. I did it so many times that I just cannot bear it any longer. Teleport2 + Savestate abuse should do the trick, hehe.

[Eternal]

Congrats, Viper! Now try and defeat Yiazmat. You may well be the first!

@Kage: Just look at a guide on GameFAQs. =o

[The Damned]

Seriously, there's a DD guide on GameFAQs specifically for finding the exits. There's only five possible places the exit can be, so I never saw why this was such a big deal when you have five people on your team.

Anyway, Eternal, how goes the monster mash?

[J Viper]

Yiazamat from FF12 was a long pain for me 3 years ago but when i have the time and patience i'll fight him

[Eternal]

@The Damned: Not bad. I haven't gotten much farther, but a lot of other stuff has been distracting me lately. It'll be done soon enough. The fun part will be testing each ability. =P

@Viper: Hehe, well, Yiazmat in Newtype is about the same, in that he has a lot of stuff under his belt and he has a ton of HP to boot. Let me know how it goes when you've faced him. ^_^

To be honest, this is the first time I see this. I never was lookin at those faqs since I hadn't had so many troubles with the game. Last time I was lookin there was to learn how to get Beowulf, Cloud etc.

[Zenius]

I'm not playing much cause I've gotten a bit busy these few days but...
I'm still at TIGER, and the 5x Celebrant Squad is...Gay.
And Zeromus is one hell of a b*tch >_<
Viper, got any tips?

[J Viper]

Nah i only fought against the elder trent army.
The Celebrant squad is such a pain i didnt want to attempt anymore.
As for Zeromus he only uses dark based attacks so use gear that absorbs dark (i cant remember the name of the accesory)
and then just mind ruin him.  Cast reraise to counter the death sentence from the plagues.
Also arcane defense and shell is a good idea.
Good luck

Eternal, that's a balance problem.  If you did what 1.3 did and made darkness elemental the same elemental as all % HP damage, any gear that absorbs dark for the player automatically gives the player access to a massive number of spells that can be used for healing.
