Have been looking at the equations for HP of the characters and can't make sense of it, do you have any skills equipped that alters the HP? Nice vid, appreciate the time and effort you spend on this :)

There are much more efficient ways to grind. In disc one, get the enemy skill materia, learn the Beta skill from the midgar zolom, go to Junon, in the middle between the two streets where there are guards doing drills, there is a switch on the wall that activates a siren and turns on random encounters in that area. The random encounters spawn enemies you normally wouldn’t fight until disc 2. They give a ton of exp, ap, and gil, and you can one shot them with Beta. You will go from level 20 to level 50 in around an hour. No need to grind anywhere before or after this unless you want to become all powerful like this guy. Grinding in the first reactor is really odd though, like it’s just super inefficient, not just for characters but for Materia especially.

Tried the overpowered stats path in the original version on an emulator. Found out that save the queen is the best stat growing gear, despite being locked out only for Beatrix's hands. Found a code to disable weapon restrictions and make them able to be equipped by anyone and snatched the save the queen. Its literally the best weapon in the game. It increases all stats that grow by lv up (+5 to spirit and +2 to all others) and despite showing only 23atk, the thing has a hidden effect that increases damage based on user's current lv, meaning that around lv60 an onwards, it will be the strongest weapon in terms of basic attack damage output.

My gripe with most guide out there tends to ignore speed, but with Zidane, speed is really important for Thievery's damage, and I do see a noticeable impact of speed especially with haste (in one run, I focused everyone on magic or strength after spirit, except Zidane whom I focused on speed after spirit), and he was getting 1.5x turn compared to others, but I think this is mainly because I play on Wait instead of Active battle mode, and use menu to pause the game during lengthy summon animations. For Freya and Quina, I do tend to focus on magic, as that gives them more MP.
@MissScarletTanager4 жыл бұрын
Speed becomes less important if you successfully steal enough times, since the formula for Thievery is (successful steals * Speed)/2. You can max out Thievery without an optimal Speed stat easily, especially if you steal from everything while normally playing through to Disc 4.

Ever since first reading the guide you mentioned, I was chafed by how late Eiko and especially Amarant join. Since they don't join until late-ish Disc 2/Disc 3 respectively, you're liable to have an APL (average party level) over 20, and they've missed out on a lot as a result. Or at least appeared to, in my mind. Seeing the argument that it fails to matter actually puts my mind at ease a bit.

yea Stat maxing is nice for the spirit boost, but honestly thats about it. this is why in my 100% run (and albiet when ever i play this game) i never bother staying level 1 to min max

I honestly never knew that gear ACTUALLY mattered for level up stats in this game! I could've sworn to god stats were all fixed...
@Primalliquid924 жыл бұрын
so the gear do give fixed stats on equip, but they also give fractions on level up while they're equiped :)

Oof. WTH?! Marcus is already Lv 70 on my Steam game... Ooops... But thank you. Those last 20 levels take FOREVER and I'm doing them manually with no scripts or turbo controller or whatnot. You set me free!

Zidane, Freya, Eiko and Quina has always been my favourite party despite them making no story sense together (unlike Zidane/Garnet/Steiner/Vivi that lots of people prefer). Just decided I like those characters, but I always love how often they get recommended as a combo for lvl 1 games, beating Ozma easiest, etc.

If I got it correctly, that Eiko you showed was the Eiko with all the trasnferred stats from lvl 99 Marcus, then how come it had some stats even lower than your regular 1-99 leveling Eiko?

The fact that FF9 doesn't completely break wide open if you stat max at Level 1 versus grind your way to Level 99 (nor does it troll you, or reward you any differently, for said grinding) is a testament to how well balanced this game is compared to FF7 and FF8.
