FFII is so weird, but I love everything about it. And even though FFIV is still my favorite, it's not hard to see that it borrowed heavily from FFII in terms of story structure, and had more permanent stakes.

You said it better than I could. Hard not to have some love for the ugly duckling of the early FFs. I'm glad to see that goofy game here.
Oh man, this is cool. This game's got some good tracks that I hadn't heard versions of since the original game.

It tried some wacky things, a few worked, a few didn't, but I am very glad they did so. Plus, I think the cast is pretty awesome and it introduced a lot of concepts that are still mainstays in the series today. (And I like its sometimes janky soundtrack.)
And how can you not love a game that lets you rain frogs from the sky?
For sure. A preset cast of characters, chocobos, Toad spells, and even a mostly broken no-EXP system in a friggin' turn-based RPG. Despite its problems, I'm glad FF2 was as much of a departure as it was--it probably would've been easier (and way more boring) to just do a straight up sprite swap of FF1.
Edit: Pleasantly surprised that my mid-to-late 40s party has gained a few levels while working through the normal new dungeons. Extremely boring fights, but whuddyagonnado
Edit 2: Adamantoise dropped 2* Heavy Shield (VI)

Cool, ultima dropped a chest and that thing after it did too. Might want to farm Ultima for the 2 star Coral Sword (V)
idk man that final dungeon theme.
Okay so I beat all the dungeons.

*before reading* VIII and (more) II hopefully.
Def ready for Snow though, I love that doof.
Still rocking Bard in my party, and we haven't even gotten the Bard skills yet. Weren't there supposed to be some new skills with this update BTW?

They've added new abilities in each category except Summoning.
I don't know but there are a lot of new spells and abilities. My priority is getting to 100 Mythril before Squall. At 74 currently. IV dungeons might be the easiest elites due to how much equipment is available for it.

Yeah, I just found them. I thought there would be some sort of message pop-up or that you unlocked them somehow. I'm dumb.
Thanks.

We've not had any for a while. Hopefully this update makes them rain Mythril too.

Dayum so much new abilities and levels. Was still content with honing and upgrading the previous stuff. Now there's tonnes more.
Think it's time I made my first in game purchase to support the game. It's been very good to me.

Got over 100 Mythril now. The current rate up is tempting since I like Kain, Rydia and Aerith, but I've made it this far I think I can hold out until it's for a character I really want a Soul weapon for.
They've started to move to biweekly updates recently. Something to look forward to I suppose!
Ooh, nice to know!

You'll find leather gloves and boomerangs everywhere in these new dungeons. I got seven gloves from one fight once. O_O

According to this reddit topic, the actual 5* rate has increased with this rate up event, not just the chances of getting a particular item within the same standard 5* rate.
This makes it even more tempting to do an 11 pull... :/

Gonna wait till I get 50 before I pull. I'm kinda scared though. I want the Aeris and Cloud weapon, but I don't want the Wakka one since I'll be forced to use him
On a side note I find it hilarious how I can put Rydia and Aeris on the front row and watch them one shot trash with a Power Wrist on!
It's not the weirdness. I mean I get why his character was necessary in the context of FFX. But that doesn't stop his the fact he filla the role of religious fanaticism and I absolutely despise that sort in general and that's coming from a Muslim. Note the word fanaticism since I don't have a problem with regular religious folk. But thats gonna get way off topic so I'll leave it at that

At least Wakka's 5 star would make him really good, unless Rydia's gives her a massive magic buff despite being a whip it'd be fairly useless

This is the only thing stopping me from dropping 30$ on this game right now. Wakka's stats are so bad >.>.

If anyone wants Wind or ice orbs, Choas Shrine is the place to be. The wolves and spiders shit them out. Got 8 orbs in one round at the Great Hall which gave me 5 Wind and 3 Ice. Not bad for 6 Stamina.
Plus BladeBlitz is laughably awesome here. One hit kills all 4/5. Boom!
Josef is decent. He's got better gear selection than Tifa what with axes and Shields so he's not squishy. Shame I don't really care about many from FFI-III. I appreciated the games for what they were, but FFIV onwards is much better.
Wouldn't mind Renna though. I could do with her and Terra soon as Aeris and Rydia are in their 40's now and will need replacing soon

Just overtook the part in FF4 I'm currently at (dwarf castle)on my Vita
Spoiling the bosses, but avoiding reading the story synopsis.

How do you inflict Humbaba in Mobliz with poison? Neither the Poison spell or Venom Attack seem to work.
Edit: I got him with Bio. Weird that the other two won't work.

It's not inflicted poison status but poison element damage

I was going to put Cyan on my team because VI is my favourite.
... until I looked at the character ranking list from Japan. I'll wait for Sabin.

There's not a single thing in this game that would require you to care about a "character ranking" list.

So the draw weapons are up now? Only have 5 mithral tho..
I caved and spent 10 Mythril. One was yet another FFVI sword. And the other was Rydia's weapon! Maxed it out to 20/20 and I'll see how she gets on. Would have preferred Cloud or Aeris, but that'll do nicely as well. At 20/20 it has 65 ATK, 112 Mag and Shiva is the Soul Break
Edit: Ahaha in FFIV Rydia has 184 Attack from the backrow and 362 Magic. She's going to destroy anything in there when I get back to it. I was always curious how easy thr people who got the Buster Sword or Grand Glove found the FFVII event. Now I know.
