Oh my God! Thank you for this. Your videos always make my gaming life easier!

[@akhafasu]

Thank you so much!

[@mrw210]

A few things: 1.) You can just do save/reload at the best spot instead of fast traveling around. It's very quick, navigating the map UI is not. 2.) You're not using it, but there's an option in settings to Auto pick-up collectibles. I don't know if it's a post-game thing or if it was always there. 3.) Dynamic is worth it. It doesn't affect the AP, but it multiplies the exp/gil significantly as it scales the enemies to you. You can drop down to Easy for slightly faster AP if you still need it once 70 - but you'll probably have everything you need maxed out before that. 4.) MP Absorb linked to Ice, or Hp/MP swap. You never have to micro manage MP/rest using them.

[@akhafasu]

Thanks for the tips

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

Thank you for this

[@Mandorallen1980]

Auto gather on foot is a post-game feature. You can retry battle instead of save/load. It's faster to respawn mobs. The Turk facility in South Gongaga has a loop of 4 fights you can do for faster xp if you have enough magic to 1 shot them.

[@akhafasu]

@@Mandorallen1980 yeah, that works too

[@SpydersByte]

or you could just do fiend intel or chadley sim missions and not even bother running around the open world or saving/reloading or managing your mp at all. (that said, backline chars wont get ap from combat sim so I prefer the fiend intel missions) also I dont see any option to auto-pickup open world collectibles unless thats only a post-game thing.

[@Retbullgivesyoukings]

HP to MP materia with a caster, first strike and Chocokings cape from the races means you start with 2 atb bars and 6000 mp so you can use magnify Firaga instead of fira and it will blow up the whole screen with huge bombs, this is what I have been using anyways.

[@akhafasu]

That works. But sometimes your caster can die and then you have to revive them. If not, then it works wonders

[@Retbullgivesyoukings]

@@akhafasu I found rather quickly how to position cloud so he didnt get 1 shot, and if you use his caster weapon he can run the stagger recover for hp and mp back, also in the rare case they do die, quickly restart combat and its gg

[@akhafasu]

@@Retbullgivesyoukings nice!

[@smoukkeri2585]

How about adding synergy materia+fire and ice? For tifa or aerith? So when cloud use skills they cast fire/ice right after clouds strike

[@Retbullgivesyoukings]

@@smoukkeri2585 cause nothing survives clouds cast, every other char is loaded with nothing but time materia for gil making

[@UchihaCroce]

Guys, I just selected Hard Mode, went to Chapter 13, defeated all the main monsters in the region (King Zu, Great Malboro, etc) and got the XP (also the items needed to craft Genji equipment). Every time I run out of MP, re-select the same chapter on the same difficulty and go to the remaining ones. It didn't take more than half an hour to get the full party to level 70.

[@akhafasu]

That’s a good strategy. But you’ll still have to do something about maxing your materia

[@xRoycex]

Yo I did the same thing. So happy it wasn’t just me. That being said I struggled against King Zu and ended up hitting level 70 through brutal challenge attempts

[@caseya1953]

Try this one out: Start chapter 12 on hard, reset side quests. Fast travel to Nibelheim and start the "White Haired Angel" sidequest. Theres around 20-30 enemies that give 30k exp each. I went from lvl 51 to 70 by doing the quest once. Equip yuffie with any atb materia you have and spam her blindside ability, makes short work of the monsters

[@akhafasu]

Nice. But what about materia maxing?

[@caseya1953]

@@akhafasu yeah not sure about ap, this one is mainly for maxing exp

[@akhafasu]

@@caseya1953 thanks for sharing that.

[@kwpineda5663]

I like the nibelheim path for resources. But Gongaga has 4 groups in a circle and easy save load respawn. honestly this is nice cause its less likely you get bored.

[@akhafasu]

Totally agree

[@reaktioN]

nice guide brother, will use when I get there.

[@akhafasu]

Thank you :)

[@dreambiscuits]

If you are picking up resources make sure to have another party member use the kupo charm so you get the bonus materials when gathered effect.

[@akhafasu]

Oh yea. Thanks for that. I forgot to mention that in the video

[@SpydersByte]

I spent the last few hours testing out different farming methods and, while I think this is the best method if you want ap, exp, gil, and resources, I was personally only really interested in the AP. I dont care at all about gil or resources and Id actually rather not get much exp because Im still going through the story and I dont want to be too overleveled that I kill any challenge. So what I landed on in the end for the easiest, laziest, and fastest AP-focused grind was repeating the Grasslands Fiend Intel 5 Picky Eater challenge. It gives 8 AP per challenge, or 24 AP if youre in post-game (so thats up to 48 or 144 with Chocobo Armband + AP Up). All it takes is Aerith with Magnify Fire or Fira depending on your magic strength and Magnify level. If you can get away with using Fire like I did then you have infinite MP with MP Absorption, otherwise there's a nearby bench at Oliver's Farm if you need to use Fira. I made a quick video just to show it and to time it and it results in 16 AP per minute with very low effort. Its pretty self-explanatory but Ill put the video link down here anyway in case it helps anyone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4u9k5xrqNqgfa8si=2bIjUS8JKGgekVNY (akhafasu if you want me to remove the link thats cool, not trying to steal or leech views or anything just trying to help out people looking for a more AP focused grind like I was)

[@akhafasu]

Thanks for all the info :) The thing with the VR mission is that it ONLY gives AP to those in the fight, not the entire party. So that means you are missing out on levelling up so much more materia. It is good when you just want to level up some leftover materia quickly.

[@SpydersByte]

@@akhafasu yea I know, we talked about this is in another thread on this video :D Im not using the simulator in the above method that I posted. Im doing the open world fiend intel fights, not the simulator ones. That way all party members still get exp and ap. If you just look at the video youll see its not in the sim, I showed the location on the Grasslands map at the beginning of it

[@akhafasu]

@@SpydersByte oh ok! Will check

[@SamThingsHD]

since you’re doing it in overworld you can just have the Chocobo armband and AP ups on someone else out of party since everyone’s slots get AP

[@akhafasu]

Yes you can. But in this method cloud isn’t doing much. Also, you need to equip the Exp Up and Gil up on your active party

[@StickyDrawz]

i hate this set up for games... like bro... i wanna farm BEFORE i fight sephiroth for the 9038450th time... why is there an EXP materia at the end of the game where i cant return... smfh

[@akhafasu]

I agree. There should be a farming spot early on, like in FF9, where you could fight those thunder dragons starting at level 9 and then leave at 21.

[@tenefen5456]

Skill issue. Get good

[@unifiedmind]

I also agree with this. In every FF I like to be max before fighting the end game boss.

[@StickyDrawz]

@@tenefen5456 u sound like an idiot

[@teky]

i think it wants you to play it on hard

[@_CryptoNoob_]

For those of you that want to farm exp/ap/Gil prior to after the game is already over, there is a great spot on the very southern shore of gongaga that has 4 sets of enemies that are close together. Just run through those 4 sets, do a quick save and load, then rinse and repeat. You can get around 42k ap per hour using this method

[@akhafasu]

Thanks for sharing that. That part is also in this video. And you can see how much AP and EXP I get.

[@_CryptoNoob_]

@@akhafasu the absolute worst part about these games, is that they don't actually give you those good materia until the game is almost over. That really urks me. There are 4 or 5 materia that would have been nice to be able to win at TGS instead of at the extreme end of the game. I do know there are super bosses and all that after the game, but the enjoyment part is PROGRESSION while playing the actual story. I lose all ambition after I've completed the game. Makes no sense to me to work so hard to win the ultimate gear, from the very last fights.. It's basically useless then imho

[@akhafasu]

@@_CryptoNoob_ totally agree. If you’ve played FF9, then you’d remember there was a place in the first disc where you could go and fight the thunder dragons to level up early. It required a certain technique but when you did it, you levelled up early and it was so much fun. I miss that and the new FF games have completely sidelined such activities. You’re right, the best materia is always at the end. I recently completed all bosses under 4mins on hard mode. Most of those fight aren’t hard as they are frustrating. And I found some of the mini games terrible, not to mention some of them are forced on the player to progress. The game is great but really I wish these issues weren’t there. Reward the player for early quests or something

[@_CryptoNoob_]

Similar to my post above. Yea, all the characters get a brand new weapon an hour before the game ends lol... That's just... Well it's dumb lol. Most casual players don't replay games or go for max statting or post game content. Most people finish the credits and move on to the next game. So yea, you get 6 new weapons in chapter 13 and 14,both chapters are very short in terms of gameplay, and verrrrrrrrrrry long I terms of cutscenes. So yea, you get to use these new weapons for maybe 6 or 8 random fights, then the end. Disappointing

[@SpydersByte]

@@_CryptoNoob_ I agree that 6 weps in chapters 13 and 14 is a bit much but what do you want them to do, *not* reward you with weapons and materia once you got near the end of the game? That would suck even more! The original game did the same thing afterall, there were lots of materia you couldnt get until very near the end of the game and its not like there's a lack of materia in early or mid game, hell by like chpt 11 I was already getting tired of how much I needed to scroll to get through all my materia. Giving us the best stuff towards the end just makes sense, thats the reward for getting there. And there still are challenges to go if you want, there's hard mode and I would be amazed if we dont get some postgame DLC (hopefully DLCs) in the future. Personally Id be a lot more disappointed if there were no weapons or materia to get towards the end of the game than I am at the slight lack of usefulness in said weapons and materia, but thats just me.

[@IsraTheBlack]

Bro you can use the hp/mp conversion materia on aerith. Link one quake materia with magnify and another with swift cast. Mp will never be an issue and quakega will hit all enemies.

[@akhafasu]

That’s a good tip. I did try that too, but I wanted to keep things simple with Fire and Ice materias. And sometimes she can die from enemy attacks.

You can do this as early as Chapter 11. I will be posting another video with early farming route and will mention in the description here.

[@IsraTheBlack]

You can do the one in Gongaga

[@厶しりあらな]

Is there anything worth the gil you get from this? The gil struggle was incredibly real in the orignal game, but not once have I been short on gil in remake or rebirth for anything i've seen in shops. Is there even that costa del sol resort house available in this game? Apart from gil toss, what is the major advantage of having disposable gil? I assume one or two of the challenge enemies i haven't attempted yet could be done in with gil toss, but I just finished the story, waiting on the credits to end.. so i'm curious. my first order of business is getting two dates with yuffie. because she's always been my favorite. I got aerith both times in the first run through. but interestingly enough, yuffie was my date in the gold saucer in the original game lol.

[@akhafasu]

The gil can be used to buy resources for transmitting items. You can buy materia too. But apart from that there’s no other requirement for it except Gil Toss like you said

[@SpydersByte]

you beat the game but youre asking if theres a costa del sol resort house? I unlocked that before even getting to Nibel, you just have to do the multiple Johnny quest that unlocks after Corel also yea, no real need for gil because of the stuff you can craft, the only things worth any gil would be crafting mats, materia, and QB booster packs.

[@ryuuotaku35]

I’ll take this method

[@akhafasu]

Great. Let me know how it goes for you :)

[@ryuuotaku35]

Soon i’ll finish the chobo sage quest race and battle intel in nibel and defeat King Zu and obtain the AP and mind blast. But I also need chobo cape but I’ll see if I can get it too.

[@danemas7875]

hand full of runs doing bees on hard mode = everyone lvl 70 w out exp up

That’s another good farming strategy. However, you have to start that quest over and over again, which takes a lot more time. You can do it if you’re short a few levels.

[@mattr.7833]

Nice. Another tip, you have 2 magnify you can link swift cast to fire and ice materia then link 1 magnify to ice then another to fire and have it all on aerith with mag attack up 👍

[@mattr.7833]

@akhafasu seems to work, yes.

[@akhafasu]

@@mattr.7833 yes it does work. However this takes up way too many slots that can otherwise be used to level materia up. By the time you max out Swift Cast, everything else is maxed 😅 But I’ve been using this method to shred bosses on hard mode

Then in just over an hour, I maxed out all my materia and reached level 70. If I did it before, I wouldn’t have all my materia, it would’ve taken me 3x more time.

Let's take ffx for example: you could do all of the Stat maxing prior to ending the game, I guess that's what I'm getting at.
