I Don't Trust Him - Blind Play Through FFX - Part 4

[@Streetratsmc]

Combat is getting easier, leveling everyone not so much. Thank you for the tips on this game still loving it.

Hello again. There is a zoom out feature, I believe its select on controller. The Opposite of start. I am loving how you are taking the time to decide how you wanna use the stat spheres. Few little Reminders. Elemental Weaknesses go Fire and Ice hate eachother, Water and Lightning hate eachother. So with the bombs, hit them with ice and Likewise if you see Blizzard elements, hit them with Fire. I know Pokemon Logic/ and (real world logic XP, ) says Water Beats Fire etc. So just be careful. I did like to see that you were swapping everyone around and giving them turns. Just don't forget poor Kimahri, Literally just swap him in and drop a lancet on different types of enemies. you'll be surprised how many overdrives he can have. And you get an achievement for getting them all. I can also say, sometimes keeping your Sphere Levels for a Big on screen move is lovely getting everyone along 4 or 5 levels. Another thing I noticed too, you have some Equipment (Weapons) that have useful auto abilities like the one you have Froststrike - all wakkas attacks have the ice element. - But there are other ones that have things like Dark Touch which means if that character hits with an attack it has a chance to apply the Darkness status etc. So keep an eye out as some of those weapons can be a game changer. Its also not your fault, but talk to all the NPCS some have completely optional cutscenes and other interactions. Like one Girl you missed gives you a party full heal. Which woulda been useful after the sleepy plant and magic wombo-comboed your party. Also, you can go to Abilities in the Main menu and use Yuna Cure ability from the main menu to heal rather than Potions. If you would like my suggestion as to where to move Kimahri you can move him to where the Thief skills Steal and Use are. They are to the South West of his middle Circle. Lets him steal loads which is a very powerful ability to get great items for your party to benefit from in battle. Another thing which is funny. Tidus has the Haste Spell. Haste is INCREDIBLE. Put it on Fast people like him and give him Strength Spheres to buff him up and hell run away with Fights Litterally getting multiple turns before an enemy gets a turn. BUT you can also give haste to Auron, who is normally slow, and he can tear through stuff as well. (45:35) You could see the writing on the wall too XP I was like oh brother you've no idea what your gonna have to fight! I also laughed out loud that when we have questions, Lulu will always answer us. Like when you asked "Who's that" Lulu right there to answer YOU lol. Also how could you not like Seymour, hes got fabulous hair and great body confidence to wear that outfit with all the Abs out haha. Also, Save Points heal your HP MP and Aeons back to life! Save Points are the Best. That Boss fight started Rough, he is a very strong attacker. Whats lovely about cheer is, it can stack up to 5 times. But what your party would have had such an advantage is the haste spell. It legitimately is a game changer if you put it on Tidus first then Yuna and then whoever you want to attack, Since Yuna is already so speedy, with her hasted, she can always be ready to heal. I do think you could do with a small amount of offscreen grinding since your front line strong men are getting one banged. (But thats just a suggestion I can understand if you don't wanna spend ages grinding.) But yea Haste is your best friend and the game almost needs you to be using on your characters to be getting enough turns to deal with the enemies and bosses. Like when the boss was getting two turns. The one good thing was all the overkills on the arms were getting you extra exp and items. ALSO ALSO, I should mention the Bosses should NOT have the extract abilities used on them as bosses have better drops than ability/speed spheres etc. (I more meant use "Extract abilities when fighting random encounters when you are low on a particular sphere type. Ability Mana strength etc.) I am so sorry for this horrific long comment. I am watching and writing as I go XP. But you cannot say that you did not fight super hard against that boss. Fair play to you and you are defo realizing the power of swapping out your party members but in future, just realize how broken the spells haste and slow are XP. But also that 1HP from Tidus, poor lad. Just to mention I know the game says oh Auron can deal with armored enemies. BUT Kimahri's spears also have piercing on the weapons so he can attack armored enemies (the game doesn't highlight this so I said I would.) Again I am sorry about the Length of the comment this was over the total video but I really enjoyed the Episode and I clapped when you beat the boss and always enjoy when someone can go "yey we did it!" it means the boss was challenging but not insurmountable and you succeeded in learning the boss and beating the challenge. If I can ask a question of you, who is your favourite character in the party at the moment? It can be to use, it can be their personality I am just curious. Thanks so much for the great episode and I am so glad you are loving the story. I will keep trying to keep my comments helpful but Spoiler Free. I have never attacked with Seymour, I too went OMG FK when he did that much damage! What were your thoughts having him in the party and seeing his OPness compared to the party hah. Did you catch he had 999 MP lol. I also love Yuna's diff coloured eyes in the high def Cutscenes. Lulu's genuine concern at Tidus after the toxin conversation shows that deep down she really is just a softie. What was your favorite part of the episode and your biggest take away from this Episode. I look forward to the next Episode whenever it happens to be. I do hope the comments are helpful and not confusing. Any other Questions on this comment please don't hesitate to reach out and reply.

[@Streetratsmc]

Oh man all the info I love it. Thank you. I ended up finding the haste spell lol. I did catch the 999 mp and loved the OPness still don't trust him though lol. My favorite character right now is Lulu. I think shes stealing my heart lol XD I feel like with your advice and I am seeing a difference in my game play and I love it. Also thank you for telling me about the ZOOM button. I have been looking for it for so long lol.

@@Streetratsmc I am glad the large comment is loved and not seen as OMG this lad is crazy. But I Honestly was hooked through the whole episode a full two hours of fun so thank you for making it and I am only thankful that my tips and tricks are making it enjoyable for you too.

[@RPGRecusant]

Sorry for another comment. I just didn't want to leave a scroll. I think I overhyped Jinx. Defo (I don't wanna give out right spoilers) but Defo just bring Kimahri in and use lancet to try and teach him overdrives from Certain Fiends. I was so panicked that I thought oh no hes only gonna use Jynx but when you Got Stone Breath I cheer so hard I was like WOO. Yes Your assessment afterwards was true. It is good to take the time with combat encounters. Let everyone have a go and you especially when it comes to getting spheres to move around and learn what you want from the grid. You wont have to extract as much going forward but its always nice to know what to do if you NEED a sphere before getting stuck on the sphere Grid. The only one I wouldn't worry about "Skipping" is Luck those type of Spheres are rare to find so you can skip them till later. But thats why Jinx is so good. Luck Governs multiple things (1 Crit Chance 2 Accuracy 3 Evasion) So Jinx lowering all enemies luck makes them get crits easier, lower their accuracy and lowers their evasion. So, VERY powerful But less so than lancet. And sorry for the earlier comment of you should move him to the Thief path. If you are happy having another Black mage like lulu, that's totally fine. Your game you do what you enjoy :) Thanks again for the great content and Again, I do appreciate you taking on my advice I do hope you thought it good and useful as I do see you taking it on board. :)

[@Streetratsmc]

I am starting to really see how each character is good and what makes them worth my time. I feel bad not using all them at the start now lol.

[@RPGRecusant]

@@Streetratsmc Ah don't be everyone has their faves. But it is great when they all are able to hold their own and they are all leveled together so you have options. I am glad you have found the haste spell. That will serve you well. And why I sometimes give Tidus a sneaky MP sphere If I happen to find one. I wondered if you wouldn't mind a hint for a bit later in the game. I am also curious are you playing this on console or Steam/ PC. (if you are happy to tell me that.) I also was curious when do you think the next episode will be out. Is there a schedule? Also, I did drop your channel to a few of my friends who are big final fantasy fans, so hope you get more views / subs. Because you are making good content :D

[@Streetratsmc]

I am on steam. I never thought of giving Tidus a MP sphere when I find one! Right now schedule wise I want to do every week at least a episode, but with work and stuff its hard to pump out the videos lol. I feel like I am getting a good system down so it should be one a week. If I can do more I will do more. I may just make a day where I record all day as well so it doesn't feel dragged out. I also appreciate you telling your friends about me that make me happy and thankful for you. I also dropped you a sub as well.

[@RPGRecusant]

@@Streetratsmc oh you really didn't need to drop a sub, but I am really thankful. Yea basically Haste is so OP its only limited by the fact Tidus doesn't get much MP normally. Hence why the MP sphere is so devious haha. But yea no once a week is very good. I just am excited for the next episode. OH, if you are on the steam version, just if you wanted to do off screen griding there are console commands to allow you to speed up the game speed so battle go by quicker. It can make it go 2 or 4 times normal Speed. F1 once will set it to 2x then F1 again to 4X then F1 again to return to normal speed. Wouldn't recommend when moving in the overworld as its hard to control. But useful to just turn on to zoom through battles if you want to grind. There's also one to turn up the frequency of random encounters or turn them off if you wanted to do any backtracking to previous areas etc.

[@Streetratsmc]

@@RPGRecusant Oh man I did not know that. what is the encounters one? I am using controller but it would be helpful to know if I want to grind lol.
