[@auronunsent2209]

FFX is my favorite final fantasy so it's great to see more of the cast get their own builds. Very well done and I may just use a lulu build at some point. I mean sorcerers are my go to so it makes it even easier lol. Thanks for another awesome build. Looking forward to the last characters from the main party to get made then it's another team complete

[@zionich]

FFX Is my favorite one of the series as well.

[@auronunsent2209]

No I grew up with both. Still choosing 10

[@zionich]

Final Fantasy 3/6 would be a close second, followed by 7.

[@wearevenom81]

Alright I’ll say it, FFX, had one of the best battle systems, it actually made every character relevant, until you got into the end game and then just power grid up op characters. However at its base and for what it’s worth it did well and made every character feel important, unlike other games in the series of picking the best team set up and then go

[@kingdomkey01]

It really helped that you could switch out party members who could immediately act mid-battle. My base party was Tidus, Wakka, and Rikku, because they were the fastest, and I could optimize the group for a given encounter on the fly.

[@Chameleonradio]

I don't get why people dislike it honestly. It's great.

[@wearevenom81]

@@kingdomkey01 Same, yeah a switch out with no punishment is always good. It’s so rare too, like when I see it in games now a days I get weirdly excited

[@wearevenom81]

@@Chameleonradio I think the dislike came from the story and characters really, also the English dubbing and voice acting. It’s one of those games that people crap on along with 8, cause while one half is arguably bad another is good and those who enjoy it can overlook it. I’ve not heard anyone really dunk on the sphere grid and battle system too much

[@maxspecs]

As soon as Yuna gets access to Friend Spheres she makes Lulu irrelevant. Kimhari starts there.

I can't see Wakka and remember Woolie's immortal phrase: "THE RACE WAR STARTS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

Lulu had a lot of influence on me when I was younger. That's all I'll say.

[@Malice_Elliot]

An early 2000's icon, for sure.

[@MrOrcshaman]

I had the same feeling.. But for me it was Kimahri

[@SirButterlegs]

Yea an amazing chest, tsundare personality, and sexy body will def affect my tastes when I was a teenage when I played this for the first time lol. But it was a close tie between Lulu and Yuna, and I prefer Yuna for being a pure cinnamon roll.

[@TheHareedo]

Dope. Would love to see a Balthier/Fran video along the same lines as these. I love me some FF/Dnd overlap.

[@kingdomkey01]

Can’t unsee The Breakfast Club as FFX characters, now. In my new headcanon, Auron is Carl the janitor, and Seymour is Principal Vernon. Rikku would be, I dunno, maybe the bag of weed that Wakka initially opposes, but ends up bringing the team together?

[@sigurdgram]

"I know there's an al-bhed in here, I can smell it! I can at least smell half of one!"

[@williamedge5130]

An Encino Man reference in a Final Fantasy X-inspired D&D video is a very specific, but very powerful nerdy energy

[@reloadpsi]

Wakka not at least having 1 or 2 levels in warlock to exemplify his absolute fanatacism and give him a generally better free ranged attack surprised me a little, especially when you made his charisma so high. I also must applaud the commitment you made to making another thrown weapon build despite this game really not being kind to those, and for not allowing you to get anywhere near the range he does in the game. (Eldritch blast with action surge at higher levels is a great way to reflavour Attack Reels.) Anyway you flavoured healing word as a potion in the Rikku video, and Wakka straight up uses one in a cutscene during the game (only character to do so I think) so that fits perfectly.

[@budinhapalmieri]

If guilty gear has taught me anything is that lulu is a main char and probably strong judging by the amount of belts

[@reloadpsi]

Lulu's weapons also fit Guilty Gear perfectly when you consider some of Bridget's special moves.

[@GrandDuchessTaco]

The "Gifted and Talented Kid" vibe is pretty strong on this video.

[@TDSFounder]

The Athlete Background in Theros allows you to get a Leather Ball. That could be the improvised weapon and you could get Performance as Bard skill.

[@elib6465]

For wakka I just see him hucking a soccer ball for all his spells. Cure wounds huck a ball at someone's wound, healing word huck a ball at a distant person. For lulu you can reflavor your hound to be a big stitched up dog doll to stay on the theme of big goth gf.

[@bryanalexander7571]

I have to admit, for Wakka , I thought you were going to go Kensei Monk with the ball as an improvised weapon. Honestly though, I just remember him as the guy who fought with a ball so I used the same build as when I have the PCs solve a mystery with the Harlem Globetrotters.

[@remusaldana8147]

Hi Tulok, I was doing a bit of research as to create a Tidus-type character for DnD, I think a College of Swords bard could be a nice way to start but since you've made a guide for some ffx characters I was wondering if you considered making one for Tidus ? If not, I would thoroughly enjoy any contribution or tip from anyone !

[@MFAniki6390]

Hey Tulok, thank you for all of the double builds this month and all of the builds you made this year, I can't imagine all of the work that went into this. That said... Weekly Build Request: Seeing some more Final Fantasy builds surprisingly made me want to see even more Final Fantasy builds (go figure). And I would really like to see Cecil and Kane from FF4, Bartz from FF5, Terra and Kefka from FF6, Vivi and Zidane from FF9, and Jecht from FF10. So basically all of my remaining mains from Dissidia that you haven't already made. Please and thank you :).

[@BJGvideos]

I saw a build for Kefka that made him a fallen aasimar and I'm not sure how to feel about that. It would fit his final form (and how he's apparently able to take that form at any time in Dissidia), but his official backstory is that he's all too human. I guess "I started as a human but absorbed the source of all magic and now I'm even freakier than before" isn't really a species.

[@MFAniki6390]

@@BJGvideos I kind of assumed that Kefka's final form would be a reflavoured Tasha's Otherworldly Guise? Either that it's a full blown Wish spell and he wished himself to become a God?

[@BJGvideos]

@@MFAniki6390 I guess there's lots of ways to do it, so it'd be neat to see how Tulok does it.

[@andrewpowers2249]

I don't know how to go cold turkey when this month is over! I think Tulok should do one character a day for the first two weeks of January. Then a character every other day for the rest of January. Then go back to two characters a week. From two a day to two a two a week is going to be tough....

[@R0UGE-LE4DER]

I've a recommendation: If you've heard of Dragon Age, you might have heard of a man named Loghain Mac Tir. If it's possible, I would love to hear what you would recommend to build for this character to be put into a dnd campaign.

[@kedarraman6690]

Loghain would be almost definitely be a battlemaster fighter since he was cannonicaly considered one of the most experienced and skilled warriors of Thedas, maybe a level of oathbreaker paladin for flavor after Cailans death

[@R0UGE-LE4DER]

@@kedarraman6690 You know what that would seem rather fitting for Loghain to be an Oathbreaker. What would you say his alignment would be? Lawful neutral? Lawful Evil?

[@kedarraman6690]

@@R0UGE-LE4DER I think lawful neutral not evil since pretty much everything he does even as skewed as it is is to protect ferelden from threats. I do like the arc that he went from this lawful good champion fighter/oath of the crown paladin to a jaded curt battlemaster as the years of Ferelden's war against Orlais went on and then Cailan not only was about to set aside his daughter but also failed to live up to Maric

[@R0UGE-LE4DER]

@@kedarraman6690 I like this actually. And this is one of the reasons why I find Loghain as an understandable character. His loyalty was to Ferelden, and believed that Cailan was not even half the man Loghain saw in Maric. While his actions are seen as treacherous, but he knew that Cailan's plan wasn't sound enough to even end the Blight before it would continue spreading. I wanted to make a character in my group's dnd campaign that had the similarities to Loghain in some respect.

[@WolfDB]

So you have 4 of the FF10 party done. Now we're just waiting on Tidus, Wakka, and Kimahri

[@NRMRKL]

The bit about thrown weapons at around 7:10 isn't accurate. A thrown weapon can either be a melee weapon that can be used for ranged attacks (for example javelin), or it can be a ranged weapon that its default method of use is being thrown (for example dart). The latter can be used with Sharpshooter, so it all depends on how your DM defines your balls (sorry, couldn't help myself).

[@Jw87563]

I'm surprised that strength was higher than dexterity, since Wakka only makes ranged attacks.

[@The5armdamput33]

In Avatar, water can do slashing, piercing, force, bludgeoning, and cold damage...

[@Sesquedoodle]

I'd probably go for Wizard for Lulu - while Sorcerer has a lot of cool abilities that fit her v well, she's also one of the few party members who didn't clearly dump INT and someone has to hold the brain cell here.

[@kingdomkey01]

Can’t wait to see Tulok dunking on Wakka’s racism and religious zealotry. Weird how those things tend to overlap so much.

[@BaronQmark]

He also married his dead brother's fiancee, so we can add Bro Code violation to Wakka's list of crimes as well

[@MegaPokefan97]

You know he drops that after Bevelle, right? He has this thing called a "character arc"

[@kingdomkey01]

@@MegaPokefan97 Oh, I’m aware. He still spends a good 2/3 of the game being an ass, and while he apologizes to Cid for his views towards the Al Bhed in general, I still would have liked to see a more personal apology to Rikku for how he treated her, specifically.

[@MegaPokefan97]

@@kingdomkey01 given X-2, she obviously forgives him without the need for apologizing

[@kingdomkey01]

@@MegaPokefan97 All that demonstrates is that she is more mature than him. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate his character growth. I still found him insufferable for most of FFX, and I think that’s enough to warrant some lighthearted jabs at his initial characterization.

[@grandarkfang_1482]

Will Wakka finally become the Grand Wizard???

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

I get that it's funny giving everyone True Strike, but Wakka seriously needs Mage Hand to make sure his ball always comes back to him. For Lulu, if you just take mage armor as a sorcerer and pick up Investment of the Chain Master it opens up some options with her doll. Make the doll a reskinned Quasit and it will have a fear inducing roar that uses your casting DC instead of the terrible DC in the Quasit stat block.

[@crackedjabber]

Ok, but I think it's funnier if Wakka has to run around picking up a bunch of balls after every fight... or even better, every other round in combat. The enemy just watches him run up grab the ball he just beaned them with, and excuses himself to go stand back in line again.

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

@@crackedjabber Or he could throw a bunch of balls with action surge and extra attack, use up his bonus, reaction, and item interaction actions grabbing some of the balls, and then ask his wife to send her doll to pick up the last ball with her bonus action. Yeah, that's way funnier.
