Final Fantasy 12 How Overpowered Can you Get Before Lhusu Mines

[@Rc3651]

There used to be a guy back in early KZbin who pumped out powerleveling guides for FFXII. Just absurd stuff like creating perfect characters. Since stat gain is random on each level up he'd save before a level and then reload afterwards if the stat gains weren't perfect. I can't even imagine how much time he spent in the game, and this was on the base PS2 version without 4x fast forward. I followed his guide to get Vaan to 99 before you meet Penelo in ~120 hours which was nuts. You'd do Dustia to like 45 then go farm for some items -- most notably the Burning Bow which was an extremely rare drop from Dive Talons. Using that you'd basically just slaughter Dive Talons nonstop in the Dalmasca Westersands on a very particular route. I ended up getting to level ~88 and then the Zodiac Edition released and crushed my dreams. Grinding without 4x speed on an old version of the game really deflated my motivation haha. Still was a lot of fun though! Unfortunately that guide maker ended up deleting his account a few years ago. Hopefully his knowledge was recorded elsewhere in the community!

Bruh, Gil Toss is REALLY good if you grind Gil using Cat-Ear Hoods: It's a neutral 10,000 damage that works on almost everything, even the Magick Pots in the Pharos. It's super useful in Zodiac Age, where you can speed up the game for grinding.

[@AwefulWaffle88]

The Xenoblade series in particular is a lot like FF12 in terms of gameplay. Big, sprawling areas to explore with bosses strewn about. Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is the fan-favorite game (is also getting a remaster this year for the Switch), and XBC2 came out more recently. It's less-liked, but still a very good game with the exploration, quests, and story/music. Finally, Xenoblade Chronicles X came out like 5 years ago, and features really great exploration, mecha suits to pilot, and giant enemies. Also a horrid soundtrack and poor story, but hey. Sometimes you just want gameplay like FF12.

Then there is FF2 but requires some player input where you can game the system and get uber powerful characters from the outset, even having One Punch Maria, who can literally kill bosses in one round by herself.

[@NoOne-hx9ir]

I got it to work before, farming for 2 hours will save you untold hours of grinding before you get access to the mines. I do both. I get Vaan to about lvl 30? I think, it's been a while. And then of course I do the undead method letting the game grind automatically over night. Makes it to where you don't ever need to grind at all, just 2 hours I believe, it might have been longer, but it wasn't much. I recommend it, I hate having to grind in games so being able to get all of it done right away is a life saver as much as it a time saver.

[@augustinejose6493]

i've got it worked before but never got to grind on level 50+ because it is too time consuming. one more is that one mistake and you'll redo it again which takes like couple of minutes to get into it again. but overall it was so rewarding.

Its not too difficult. I always do it to level 20 odd, failing getting everything else, you at least dont have to grind for first demon door (which, in normal ff12 is helpful, in tza is irrelevant now)

Dark Cloud huh? The question is how much time do you really want to spend fishing? You could get extremely OP weapons in the first town/ dungeon. I did just that back in the day, but I cheated and used a game shark for unlimited fishing points. IIRC I got Toan and Xio's ultimate weapons with maxed attributes before heading off to the next town. There's still a lot of grinding to level the weapons, but that's nothing compared to the amount of time it'd take fishing to get those gems for socketing... not to mention fishing was really tedious. I suppose if you wanted to do it legitimately you'd be better off getting to the second town and fishing with poison apples at night because you had better chances of getting a rare fish worth lots of points.

[@Monado6]

Anyone else feel the process and journey getting overpowered is more satisfying then actually being overpowered? I suppose its good for speed running but as a first time playthrough I find it to detract from the overall experience. I suppose this has to do with Disgaea games in the past. Not that I liken life itself as a game but I do ponder sometimes~ Sometimes I think of this as it pertains to life as well. Being overpowered by some cheat code, but in life, its always challenging no matter what, because there is so much to invest in, time, relationships, money, self, community the only "cheat code" is other people's life experiences and incorporating that on your own. If only life weren't so variable with "RNG" eh, to be "overpowered" and have all things in order eh? And now I have gone onto a philosophical rambling having nothing to do with this video... sorry.

[@hlonghi]

I think this is part of pretty much every video game for me. I am an overachiever and sometimes I spend useless hundreds of hours just maximizing stuff in JRPGs. As you can already guess, MMO'S are the bane of my free time as RNG is of my sanity... (Yes, I'm looking at you FFXIV).

Only pc and ps4 has the rng trick, you can still get the bow but it is the 1:100,000

[@Evil_Chronic]

Style and Steel it only works for the PS4 and Steam versions. They process the RNG seed information differently than the Switch and Xbox versions. The seed doesn’t change randomly when switching from the Reks save to your normal save on the PS4/steam version, the Xbox/switch version does change the RNG when going from one save to another. That’s why for Xbox/Switch it’s full odds if you want the bow, which is 1 in 10,000. Just google it, I’m not lying I really wanted 6 on my Switch like I have on my PS4, just won’t happen without actually farming them. So good luck.

Breaking this game over the years has become my purpose whenever I play it👀

[@tylertanner126]

So got to stage 3 in the trial and managed to get a Kakarta on the first try thanks so much for the info. Good looking out for us.

[@Dave-ug1rx]

Picked this up for the first time in years and it is still good. Got the karkatas after a couple tries, a burning bow for Fran and I'm in the nalbina prison with basch as a guest right now. Didn't level to 99 as that would take WAY too long. I settled for 34 and next on my list is the op bows. I'll use your afk leveling guide later. Thanks for all the great advice and for all the hard work you do for these videos. Kudos.

[@Aimlessimp05]

One of my favorite things about 12 was that baring items you could get plenty op. I grinded to about lv 40 with pannelo when I was supposed to be making a sun stone cus I wanted to kill the were wolf's in the area. Sadly I never could because they just did way too much damage due to my low Def.

[@rondesjardins-j1l]

fyi if you use vaan you can steal the werewolves a powerful weapon called slasher .if you fail on the steal simply zone in and out the other side of that save crystal zone and it wil re set the werevolves keep stealing you will get it

[@algernopkrieger3968]

The rng blessed me with 2 karkatas in about 10 minutes. It’s interesting I’ve played the game many times and I never thought to break it this way, I always just used the lhusu mines themselves

[@parttimevaper8267]

In one stage 1-10 runthrough i stole 2 Phoenix downs on stage 2, stole the kacarta(rare) and th round shield(rare) on stage 3, i stole the the berserker bracers(rare) on stage 5, the Sirius(rare) on stage 8, golden shield(common) on stage 9, then finally the Goddess's Magicite(rare) on stage 10 then died on stage 11 😆. That was my best runthrough. (Stage 1-10)

dude love this vid. also as a player that bought this brand new when it came out, this is probably the best video ive seen on some of the early game grinding. also, damn it all and your easy way to get seitengrat, been grinding a few months now to get a set of them and here i find your video and get them in less than an hour lmfao. amazing guide, even though i wont go to 99 this way (prefer flans petrified method in the mines) this was a great watch. keep up the videos man :)

[@luckymouse1988]

Also did the Dustia trick at the start with Vaan, but I stopped when I got to level 50, now currently having fun trying to fight my way up through the Trial Mode, highest I can comfortably get is 85. Hope I can get a little higher by stealing another set of Renewing Mirrions and getting some more Bubble Motes.

The last time I tried playing this I just ran around the first desert until Vann was at max level. See, rather than grinding when I hit a road block, like a normal person, I restarted the game and grinded longer each time. This game is dead to me now ^^ Your way of doing it seems to be a lot more fun

[@carlriggs5413]

I realise you cant do this quite as early - however it likely shaves off 30 hours for the lvl 99 grind. Last i did it was 45hrs i think from 1->99. I'm not sure about the zodiark age since I wasn't a huge fan of the job system - however in the PS2 version I believe you can get the burning bow from Dive Talons in the Westersand (using quickening normally) as a rare drop - from there you can go back into the Garamsythe waterway and grind Malboro Overkings/Lizards and essentially anything else that spawns there - these provide 2x or 3x the exp of a Dustia and you should 1 or 2 shot them once your level is high enough. As a bonus you don't spend as much time zoning in and out - with a good farm route you should be able to level up fairly quickly. I suppose you could use the bow* from the airship instead of burning bow, that doesn't exist in the Ps2 version I think. I really love this series and I appreciate all the work you're putting in, apologies if the above is incorrect, it's been like 7 years since I did it xD

[@Magerquark]

yea back when I first got the game, I tried to follow one guys guide , also getting that bow early and then grinding with 1 character before getting the others, so they automaticly gain the levels. Can't remember any specifics though

@@Magerquark good times xD I remember wanting to cry trying to get the burning bow. That 2% drop rate was killing me! Great game though imo

[@alessandronico3099]

Good job, dude! I would never do that. But I appreciated the effort. Usually I farm Bone Fragment and Iron Helm in Lhusu to make money and exp. And it's boring as hell but at least I make 200 k in less time.
