I won't say that the basic plote is not interesting with sin, yunaleska, braska and yu yevon ( the guy not the sect) but that's ALL there is in this game! Chars are SH*T ( exept the 2 i said) the "linear" map is Sh*t, the sphere system is "FOR ME" bad but i can undertand that can be liked some other games had done it right like "Path of Exile" but not ( for me) ffx! But for me the bigest problem is clearly the chars, i CAN'T connect with any exept the 2 i was speaking the red man because i have the same type of personality and humor ( sarcastic) and the blonde girl because i like that even when she discovered ( she was one of the first) the grim reality of the "trip" and understood that athena will go to the end ( even if herself ( blondie) want to stop her at first) that then she would need to put a smilling and upbeat face to help other to keep their heart from breaking!

I hate the "steal" function in JRPGs almost as much as I hate the "jump" command. Putting a thief in your party essentially means losing a whole attack for your turn while the thief struggles with stealing items that have worse success odds than casinos. It's tedious having to try to steal over and over and over while the other party members just wait and heal every now and then for an item that has a 1/255 chance of appearing. It's a wasted turn.

Stealing was so incredibly important in FFIX - not just because you got some insanely good items and equipment from it, but because stealing with ANY character with the ability, not just main protagonist Zidane, powered up the tailed bandit's strongest attack, Thievery.

[@ZenKrio]

Honorable mention: Gungnir in FF3DS. This weapon was exclusive to that version of the game, and was iirc either the second or best spear in the game, it was the biggest factor as to whether you'd have a Dragoon in your team for the boss of the game. The ONLY way to get this was to steal it from Odin, if you missed it, there was NO chance at another.

[@Ahrpigi]

FF9: if you're far enough to already defeat Hades and Ozma, the Robe of Lords is useless to you. There's basically no game left to use it on. 😝

[@TheKarishi]

The metagame of using Steal, Blue Magic, and Morph in FFT:Advance was a huge part of the interest for the first half. Figuring out what you could take - especially things that, like your first example, had attached skills the wearers could learn permanently - was huge, and often allowed shortcuts to big power. I think technically almost every kind of item and equipment was attainable through their non-steal systems, but it seemed like as I got farther into the game the distance between when you could steal things and when you could get them other ways was INCREASING, up to the main-line completion. Once you get the capacity to Steal Weapon everything really opens up, because the weapons are where all the great active skills are.

[@Sangraven13]

I'm a little sad that he didn't mention FFTA because of just how much stealing changes up your experience of the game. For the uninitiated, you can grind up your negotiation skill at the beginning of the game by dumping party members and spamming recruitment quests. It's a painfully long procedure, but it rewards you with a weapon that teaches you steal ability. Not only does this allow you to cheat on learning a lot of human abilities, but it also allows you to get access to steal weapon far earlier than you have any right to. And yet this was designed intentionally because there are a number of hidden weapons located in story missions before you would normally have access to the ability. By stealing the weapons off of certain characters, they have a chance to re-equip a much rarer weapon. This method is the most consistent way to get the Scorpion Tail, the Zeus Mace, and the Materia Blade, which teach Meteor, Ultima Blow, and Ultima Charge respectively.

[@ZenKrio]

FFTA needed two things to be playable/good for me: Being able to recruit my own characters and NAME THEM myself. No Job based Stat growths. Made leveling teammates a chore if you wanted to min max. I could settle for the min maxing staying, but both FFTA games were never playable for me because of the random names. Games made 20 years before had this simple feature. If only there was a mod.

[@Vanadras]

I love getting Steal: Ability in the beginning of the game via farming Reserve missions. Also, FFTA had steals that weren't even visible items, you had to steal a weapon and then wait for the enemy to re equip a better one to steal. Like the Ultima ability weapons

I'd argue for Final Fantasy V, that its version of the Blood Sword is a far more powerful addition to the arsenal than the Genji Equipment, which even wasn't the most powerful armor in each case. Bloodsword could be stolen from King Behemoth. Bloodsword + X-Fight meant absolute domination AND immediate recovery, only to be beaten maybe by Gil Toss. Only exception is of course when used against undead.

1:15 the First item on your list here ,The Robe Of Lord's, is an item I currently am using on my White Mage, Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII Mommy (A.K.A Garnet) ((you get to name her)) My current Stats for Her: Lvl 55 Speed - 28 Strength - 39 Magic - 48 Spirit - 30 Attack - 36 Defense - 49 Evade - 20 Magic Def - 54 Magic Eva - 20 Not bad for near the end of the game!

The Artemis arrows and bow, from Valkyrie, on the moon, in FFIV.

5:54 what version of ff4 was that?

[@Elban19]

FF4 PSP

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

imo the best version, the psp, altho the pixel remaster is pretty good on steam too.

[@genjithesheikah1501]

@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu yea I got the ppsspp emulator and started playing it today and I have to say, it’s pretty good

I managed to get 3 copies of the Ribbon in FFXII: The Zodiac Age. Here’s how: - Hunt Club - Henne Mines Special Charter Shaft - Subterra: Abyssal - North in the Pharos

Stealing the Genji set in FF Tactics from the Silver Ogre is FKIN HARD!!! He turns members undead, and hes strong AF

[@SaltyLocke]

If I recall correctly, you need a female Sagittarius signed thief with a ton of brave to get the best chance.

[@nightowl8363]

@@SaltyLocke ya i remember my chances being like 8-11%. I spent about an hour and a half on that battle

[@emiliomaderamedina]

Double lance in ff5 is a very powerful early weapon and it attacks twice, use with double weapon and you get 4 attacks in one move

[@AubreyTheKing]

Honesty, I only used the Steal ability in Final Fantasy X. Why? I don't know. I guess because of my huge nostalgia for the game and how much I put a lot of hours into it, more than any other Final Fantasy game I've played up until that point (aside from VIII). Even after playing Final Fantasy X, I went back to play the others and I never felt to do it as much. It's still a handy ability, I just don't use it as much.

[@scribble71891]

FFX and 12 are really the only games where I stole the most. Definitely in 12 with the amount loot required to make the strongest weapons. I didn't bother much with stealing in the other games either.

[@anonymouspersona122]

Payday: Final Fantasy lookin' amazing so far. Can't wait for the devs to finally start releasing public builds.

[@hershey50317]

In ff6 u can also steal genii gloves form the white dragons in the floating island

[@limppickle4306]

Bro you did not use Rikku doing the thumbnail face lmfao Great video though

[@Donsanity]

For me the best isn’t listed on here is to steal from Galypdes/Aquila the Celestriad/Economizer although it’s a rare steal. But if you bet the Murakumo/Strato in the coliseum you can fight them with Locke with a chance to steal since they’re harder to find in the Phoenix Cave. After you win the prize Holy/Pearl Lance can be better to win back the Murakumo and repeat the cycle to get as many Celestriads you need.

[@goodmanwiseman303]

Black mage with samurai secondary job able to use Murasame, Kiyomori, Masamune, and Chirijiraden. That's about as OP as it gets. Equip flash hat, wizard robe, and wizard rod, and then give them with dragon spirit for a reaction ability (reraise) since they don't have the ability to res each other.

[@goodmanwiseman303]

Oh also, in case anyone wondered, you can dupe katanas in the original game, so you don't have to worry about it breaking as long as you have a whole bunch of extras duped.

[@Corpstoucher]

What’s the music around 4:13??

[@jadewukong]

would the draw mechanic technically count as stealing in FF8?? I remember having to draw summons from certain enemies and missing them because I forgot to do that.

[@aerisgainsborough2141]

you can get them back from the bosses in ultimecia's castle...

[@monkeyspank3005]

Side note: ff8 was the only final fantasy where you could steal summons and magic from an enemy.

[@ThundagaT2]

One could argue that the player steals Famfrit from Doctor Cid in FFXII, although that one isnt mid battle. You do get his summon after defeating him though.

[@hudsonhartanto5993]

Number 1 should be mom credit card bruh

[@Ryans_tryin]

Your mom's probably broke af so no real value
