I'm actually enjoying using weapons I never used in the standard game. Bombs, crossbows, staffs and axes.

[@damienhine1861]

I just started playing this weekend. Perhaps I should have thought of that. I think it's possible to change your licence board so maybe I should try this. I can always optimise later on.

[@hydrohomie254]

Okay, first off, RNG manipulation for Gendarme, Trango Tower and Seitengrat exists in the PS4 version, so you can make them appear (theoretically, if you get the RNG seed right) 100% of the time in the chests. Secondly, the chance for the Seitengrat is actually 1/10000 (with the 1% chest spawn taken into account) : 1% Chest spawn chance * 20% Item from Chest chance * 5% Item is Seitengrat chance = 0,01% (1/10000)

[@escrotildoroblardo8049]

I get this weapon and is very cool but only to farm XP, if I use this weapon the game lose the funny

[@TakeshiMitsuhide]

Masamune + Genji Gloves + Berserk

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Michael Phom back in the original final fantasy 12 you would equip the cat eared hood for the plus 90 speed because speed is used to calculate ninja sword damage and then give the genji gloves to the katana wielding person ( usually vann )

[@pitangwb668]

I combo masamune + genji glove +haste.. It can give multiple hit up to 9hit with hit rate +600 point and continous in next hit.. Kill yiazmat more fast.. Tournesol and zodiac spear only gives 999 hit point per hit and only give 1 hit.. So Masamune relative more effective.. WyrmHeroBlade only bullshit sword..

Excalibur is incredible in IZJS, since damage limit is broken

Seitengrat and Trango Tower can both be manipulated for a 100% drop. To get multiple in just a handful of minutes. Search it up. Makes the game very braindead simple though.

[@dinosteve]

You should have listed the second best sword and bow as getting the invisible ones unrealistic.

[@FreshMetal80]

The Seitengrat isn't really that hard to get. Just take the airship from Rabanaste to Nalbina. The hardest part is getting the chest to spawn (1% chance), but just keep zoning in and out of the area until it spawns. May take a few minutes. May take a few hours, but it WILL spawn. The next part (manipulating the RNG) is easy. With the diamond armlet on, watch the kid running back and forth near the airship railing (should be on your left if facing the rear of the ship). Let him run his path 4 times. The second the gets to his dad the 4th time, open the chest. I know it sounds like BS, but it works. I've also seen several additional steps to this process that aren't necessary. Some say the chest will spawn if you close the game and restart, wait 20 seconds, leave the area and re-enter, or start a new game and use Rekks' cure spell to get specific numbers to manipulate the RNG. I didn't do any of that crap, and I got the bow.

with almost impossible chance to get the chest that spawns that has a near impossible chance to be in the chest I must ask. wyd is the point?

in the PS2 version, there was a way to have a 100% chance of getting the ultimate bow, that people used to farm them and use them in speed runs.

[@allenspacer5345]

AnimeSquirrel who the hell wants to use an invisible weapon. That sounds stupid to me. I like to see my weapon.

[@hydrohomie254]

there is one in the PS4 version aswell. involves loading an autosave on the deck, as soon as vaan loads in start a timer, when the timer hits 20 seconds zone out into the inside area and immediately zone out to the deck again. Then check if the chest is there, if not reload and try again, If yes look at the kid that is running along the railing. count the times he stops in the corner next to you. When he stops the 4th time and runs back to his parents, open the chest as soon as he stops infront of his parent and you should get the bow.

[@shinjig]

I think that was the trick used in the PS2 version.

you can get blood sword really early in trials mode. If you get to trial 3 and steal from the flowering cacturite theres a small chance that it will give blood sword. i just got mine a few hours ago. Also its called the kar something or other (i forget the exact name but it's a blood sword). Pretty obvious but only knights can use it

I got a Karkata instead of getting a Blood Sword, and I stole another one from trying to get a Blood Sword again. So, I gave up on getting it since I now have two powerful swords.

[@Hocklie333]

I was actually able to get 7 Zodiac spears in a little more than an hour and a half. I used a weird method where I was in the Henne mines/Special charter shaft area. What I did was clear out all enemies in the stairways up to the cave entrance. Then I switched to having only one party member with the diamond armlet. I would enter back into Phase shaft 2 area then go back into the previous area immediately. As soon as you enter the area, you must keep running nonstop for this to work. As you run around the first corner where the path splits, you may notice a chest on the right side of the screen in the corner. Try to spin the camera as you run so you can keep moving while you search the corner. If the chest is not in the right corner then immediately run back into the phase 2 area and reenter. If it is there, DO NOT OPEN IT. Just keep running down the path and try not to bump into walls or corners. Run until you reach the top of the long staircase where the Zodiac chest will be. The chest will spawn in the middle section of the stairs on the right side. If it is not there then quickly head back the top. Before you reach the Phase 2 area, run up to the chest that was in the corner. If you open it and you get a knot of rust, dont close the word box and immediately close the application and go back to the home screen. If you get gil instead then repeat the process until you get the knot of rust. Once you start the game and go to the load screen, wait about 10 secs before you load your autosave. Once the game loads immediately hold down on the control stick to enter phase 2 area. Keep holding it so once it loads the new area, you'll quickly go back into the charter shaft area. Once it loads, start running back down towards the long staircase but as you run there remember to spin your camera to see if the chest is in the right corner at the first split. It should be there. If not then close the application and retry. As you reach the top of the stairs where the Zodiac spear is supposed to be, if the chest isn't there then quickly head back to the first chest. Remember that you will need to be running nonstop and spinning your camera so you can get good angles. Once you reach the chest, open it. You may get another knot of rust or a random amount of gil. If you do then close the application again and restart the process. If you open it and you get 482 gil, then you hit the magic number. Leave the area into Phase 2 again then immediately reenter the charter shaft. Now all you have to do is run down to where the Zodiac spear chest is and it will spawn there. I noticed this by accident. The Zodiac spear chest will only spawn when there is a chest in the right corner when you first enter the area. Also the 482 gil number was always shown right before getting the spear. Just remember that when you see 482 gil, don't restart, reload, or close the application. Just simply leave the room then reenter then go to the spear chest. Also as a side note, I turned off my gambit so I wouldn't use any auto skills like Libra after the enemies were defeated.

[@Halaitsame]

Great video as always. Just wanted to clear one misconception about the Seitengrat. "Your odds are set to 1 in 10,000 should you even happen to bump into the chest." That is not true. The 1 in 10,000 chance take chest spawn rate into consideration. If you do happen to bump into the chest while equipping the diamond armlet, you have a 1 in 100 chance it will be the bow. (20% chance it is actually an item and not gil, multiplied by 5% chance it is the bow and not a knot of rust should it be an item). In other words, multiplying the 1% chance of chest spawning, 20% chance of it being an item, and 5% chance it is a rare item yields: 0.01*0.2*0.05 = 0.0001 Or, 1 in 10,000 chance you get the bow every time you enter the zone.

[@cpcampbell3]

Do you need to have diamond armlet equipped to increase chances? Also does the party leader have to be wearing it or can it be any member of the party?

[@aarondunn1868]

You may have already found your answer since posting this comment, but it's not that the Diamond Armlet increases your chances, but that some of the best equipment that spawns from certain chests (like the Seitengrat mentioned in the video) will not even have a chance to contain the desired item. Bear on mind, though, that even with the Diamond Armlet equipped (only one character is necessary), there's still usually a very low chance you will actually get the item you want from that chest, and, even then, the chest it comes in will likely have a low spawn rate as well. This is where you may want to look into how people manipulate the game's RNG to essentially ensure you will get the desired item. I hope this helps.

[@bobsanders5225]

Wyrmhero blade>>Toursenol by a bit Wyrmhero has holy damage, and white robes augment holy damage regardless of an enemy being weak to holy. Its straight up just way more powerful, and with a genji glove will destroy anything, especially since it has auto bravery and can be berserked

I played the original FFXII when I was a kid, long time ago and I didn't quite like the way every character becomes "the same" by having the same license board. So I heard about the IZJS some time later, but never had the chance to played it. Some years past that, I had made friends with a guy on college that had a IZJS copy he bought during a trip to Japan. He lend it to me and I played it on PCSX2 (emulator). Funny thing is I got Trango Tower on my very first try, and I didn't even know it existed. I passed by the corridor and the little "!" popped up over Ashe's head. I examined the thing, and there was it. I got so confused by the fact that the sword didn't have a model I thought it was a bug, so I looked it up on the internet and I found out that the sword is super rare to get, and is intentionaly invisible. I guess I spent the luck of a lifetime on this one. LoL

Saying is the wrymhero blade isn't the strongest greatsword is a really roundabout way of saying you never used it. That combo rate isn't just higher, it's astronomically higher than any other weapon. You easily justify yourself saying the attack power is triple what it says in the item details considering you're almost garunteed a 2 hit combo at the minimum. Most times you're hitting 3 or more on each attack. It only hits once about as often as other weapons hit twice. The only downside to the wyrmhero blade is that you have to kill everything worth using it on to get it. By the time it's yours, there's nothing left to test it's strength on lol

ik this is old but wymhero blade is better against anything weak/nutral to holy because of its combo with the white robes my lvl 65 vaan with wyrmhero/robes/ grand helm/genji gloves hits at least 3 times per attack and all are over 14k. 20k if full hp, even higher when i berserk him

Tournesol isn't that great imo, especially for what you need to go through to get it Best 1 handed swords is Karkata imo. Excalibur is the best greatsword imo (with White Robes) unless enemies are immune to holy. The endgame is littered with holy weak enemies. Wyrmhero Blade is far too slow and is a meme weapon because you get it after beating Yiazmat, and Omega lol. Holy Lance is the best spear (for the same reason as excalibur). Vrsabha 2nd because getting Zodiac Spear I'd annoying As for Yagyu Darkblade it's only use is like one battle...Yiazmat. Most endgame areas absorb dark so you get very little use out of it. Mina is way better outside of Yiazmat Masamune v Kumbha + Shield is a close call though but I'd still choose Masamune here As for poles Kanya is no doubt the best pole However the highest damage in the game comes from ardor + flame staff (especially with oil). It smashes everything on this list even on neutral enemies

Funny enough, it only took me two tries to get the Trango from Zodiark. The first time, I went in and was kinda stupid anyway, plus I wasn’t strong enough as well, so yeah. Second try, I was much better off level and power wise, and I managed to steal the trango.

[@GameKritikTVGerman]

I don't get what you mean by "Setting 2 Gemsteel 3 Orchalcum..." What do you have to do for that ?

[@imanrich800gaming]

One of my top Fav FFs. But getting those ultimate weapons is literally Hell....

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Iman Rich The Swag Lord ps4 version has rng manipulation that can get you the weapons 100% of the time.

[@fluffyness2990]

Ah the seitengrat, the most difficult weapon to get.... I have 6, thank you rng masters!

[@chriskoloski32]

[@kyleabrams5036]

Darc Hart94 I think most are fixed drops, those don't respawn but randoms should.

[@madthrasher88]

[@Deathnote2539]

[@QuintenLust]

[@noblezombie8571]

[@A203D]

Square, Square, Sqaure... Its like your torturing us with Pink Puff Tails all over again. At least this game lets you increase the speed which makes it so much easier for farming rare items. In fact this game has so many classic FF elements, I'm surprised Pink Puff Tails didn't make the cut.

[@KHSlayer1660]

all of them. I will own all of them

[@ff7soldierff7]

see ya in 3 years

[@xaviergovindan9966]

You can get all these weapons easy and less than 10 minutes (except the tournesol and that ultimate katana). You just need to know what you're doing.

[@standardofexcellence]

Dragon Master Jay thats the right attitude

[@shagstars]

10 minutes in 4x speed mode but not in original speed.

[@JARedwolf100]

Why so difficult?! I swear it’s easier to farm rare weapons off online games then this! YIKES! I’m wondering if there’s going to be a pop up purchase merchant to buy them for real cash in the game! X_X Added - I have no idea if I even want to try to get any of those, I think I’ll focus more on trying to grind down hunts and relearning how to play the game...it’s been years since I played this.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Jarl Wolfy just stick to oil and fire magic on Penelo you’ll be fine and then switch to scathe once more enemies start becoming immune to oil ( you can get scathe right before the second Gilgamesh boss fight and it can easily carry you through it )

[@iamshank6463]

I got the trango first try without knowing it was there. I went back next playthrough and never got it lol.

[@dragonprinceHP]

I got the Staff of the Magi once and after I looked at the stats, I said "Nope NEXT!" and sold it - Now I don't even waste my time. Since I pair my magic using jobs with physical attacking jobs and the physical attacking job weapons tend to have much better stats - Like my Knight is also a Black Mage and another character is a Black Mage and an Archer and the bows all have better attack power than any of the staffs and all the knight's swords are better than any of the staffs - Now I'm not talking about early stuff like "Bow" and "Broad Sword" or "Long Sword" but I mean like "Save the Queen", "Claymore", and "Elfin Bow", "Burning Bow", or Saggitarius even. Since I added Archer, I noticed that any Staffs have a minus in the weapon shops and same for my knight too. I'd love to find the other ultimate weapons but I don't feel like stressing myself out lol

[@Sus-td3jc]

Just as a personal opinion, I find axes and the other rng-based weapons to be very bad because... rng. This comes from personal experience tho, I don't know about others but due to my abysmal luck in games I usually find myself dealing less or even 1 point(s) of damage when using those.

[@adikrd]

Masamune is the best weapon in OG tho, because of 9999 damage cap (which makes offensive magics entirely useless, even Scathe)

[@jasonb348]

Wow. You uploaded this right as I was about to search for this very topic.

[@yotty97]

stfu, downvoted.

[@nothanks1239]

I actually like the fact that some of the weapons are damn near impossible to get. It will make it just that much more special if you did managed to get them.

[@Baehellet]

Wholeheartedly agree, that's why they made it so difficult. Except that you can steal the Kartaka from the Flowering Cactoid in Trial Mode and then you get to keep it in the real version.

[@rebelpoxy]

I dunno. I could understand if you have to defeat a difficult boss or to farm materials for crafting to obtain them, but randomly spawning chests that have an abyssmal chance of containing the ultimate weapons is kind of retarded imo.

[@myminion74]

its cool, but come on. invisible chests with 1% chance to drop, then having the diamond armlet equipped, then a 1% chance to be in the chest afterwords? come the fuck on, there isnt even any other chests in the area to incentivize finding a invisible chest in the first place, so only RNG abusers are gonna try to get it

[@Baehellet]

The fact that they're invisible should be your indication that people aren't meant to go out and find them but just happen upon them by sheer chance, which is what happened, then those people spread the word on how they found it and the hunt was on for everyone else. If you don't want the game breaking invisible weapons, just don't get them. There are plenty more amazing ultimate weapons in the game that don't spawn in invisible chests. That's literally only the case for the Seitengrat, so you're making a big deal over nothing. If you actually watch and listen to the video, most of the weapons are obtained through farming materials and crafting them in the Bazaar, and can be stolen/looted from chests in late game areas.

[@kevin933]

I've heard there's a method of getting the bow, where you just need to make sure you bump in to the treasure chest, and there's an ncp/kid hanging around on the deck. When he goes to the corner he moves his arms a certain way, and as he's moving his arms you get a guaranteed bow.

[@maranathashalom9402]

Spent hours researching how to get Seitengrat for my more mature playthrough attempts of FF12 :) Back then I didn't even know of this item. Finally found the vid with the FF Helper thing. Took 5 minutes after download until first Seitengrat and 10 more minutes for 2 more. Basically some cool person wrote a little program, that let's you see two values in the game's RNG. If you click at the right time, it will be the RNG value to obtain Seitengrat 100%. Sadly I played the game like 1 hour after that until everything felt pointless. Literally every enemy and boss just dies right away. The weapon has no ingame model ("invisible weapon"...) and no sound FX. It's worse than the turbo mode... Cheats ruin the fun of a game. Nothing feels epic anymore, everything is just a rush through so I can go sleep fest... I still felt the FFXII love tho and started a new game after abandoning my level 40+ chars at the end of the Phon coast. This time I went for new game [-] and play through with level 1 chars. Although I went for a Karkata/Bloodsword A in trial mode just in case. Still gotta farm all the license points and should be a harder, more thought-through playthrough. Overall, FF12 is just an ultra solid game. Having a great time with it, as with every FF part so far (except 13, but giving it another chance soon). But cheat functions shouldn't be part of a retail game. If you really want the cheats, there will be ways to find on it's own little adventure. But just enabling them in the retail version of a game seems kinda lame... I was happy to play through my favorite FF part again and I ended up turbo moding through the license bord with ultimate weapons around the Lhusu mines :( Even trial mode is just... Why?

[@AFMountaineer2000]

What do you do after buy the sunflower?

[@escrotildoroblardo8049]

Seitengrat * it's OP weapon and good to farm XP and LP

[@ronsenburg3498]

In Zodiac Age there are Nagasa and Nagasa [F] right? Nagasa is the same of Danjuro in the original game but Nagasa [F]?

[@Kowanpoop]

BTW it's Masamoo-neh not Masamyoon.

[@charlesajones77]

Nice to find someone who knows this. It drives me nuts hearing people say Masa-moon. There's no silent e in Japanese.

[@bronysaiyan5236]

and its not maggie its majeye

[@lockecole6220]

@UHF Gaming LLC you dont beed to be a weebo to know how to pronounce masamune...
