As an aside,

Spoiler

did the Dynast-King rule over all of Ivalice? He's said to be the ancestor of Dalmascan royalty. Is it stated he ruled far beyond that?

I actually don't remember.

Spoiler

That would make sense... if their reason for wanting power is explained at all. They don't want to be glorified like other gods, they don't want wealth, there's no indication that world stability is beneficial to them or what relationship they have with the world at all, besides their manipulations. I don't feel like we remotely know their nature or what they desire. Power is a means to an end: an end that we never see. They're just sitting in the netherworld living their eternal lives doing apparently nothing in particular. How would anything for them change if they didn't control history?

I'm actually pretty okay with not knowing what their motivations are.

It places the moral focus on whether it's okay to be manipulated from the shadows, rather than the intentions of the people doing the manipulating.

The intentions that matter in the story are the intentions of Ashe and her crew and of Vayne, Cid, and Venat.

Spoiler

I get that. But it felt like the entire game was setting up there being more to the whole conflict than meets the eye. Vayne's murder of his brothers is portrayed as of an ambiguous nature, and his relationship with Larsa is good besides their differing views on foreign policy. Vayne's initial introduction showed him being magnanimous towards the conquered Dalmascans, not condescending or brutish. He makes overtures for peace with Ashe's crew. Hell, in the final scene before the climactic battle, he's shown as having pity towards Ashe for not being willing to wield power to save her people, like he (apparently?) feels the need to. He's shown as having an amicable relationship with virtually everyone he gets screen time with. The only moments of cruelty he has in the entire game is with some of the Judges, and even then he's not exactly full-blown villainous. And I never got the impression that he had the naked ambition of expanding territorial control or ruling the world, like you seem to have. His desire for war with everyone was inscrutable to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there's a line between "look at this morally ambiguous villain" and "look at this villain that you don't understand." Vayne definitely felt more like the latter.

In the very first scene where we see Vayne, he's just set up Basch as a traitor, murdered the king of the kingdom he just conquered ("and to think, we were going to let you keep some of your sovereignty"), and directed the false announcement of the suicide of that king's surviving heir. He's basically engaged in a massive fake news/gaslighting campaign against Dalmasca.

That gaslighting continues beyond his conquest of Dalmasca. He tells Migelo that the emperor of Archadia is a democratically elected official, but it's clear his perspective on that matter is bullshit.

Spoiler

He kills his own father to seize the throne, and orders the arrest of the senate that hoped to restrain his rise.

That all seems very power hungry to me. Power hungriness doesn't need a motivation; want for power is a motivation.

Spoiler

Except... he doesn't co-opt the puppet strings? He destroys the nethicite entirely. Your view would be more tenable if he had killed the Occuria and/or seized the Sun Cryst for his own ends. Instead, he didn't make a move against them, destroyed the Cryst, and then delved headlong into his entirely unnecessary war.

Vayne doesn't do this.

Spoiler

It's Ashe/Reddas who do this.

His goal is to use it, and in the end

Spoiler

he's actually harnessing the Mist that spills from the Sun-Cryst to power Bahamut

understanding them wasn't key to understanding Venat, and understanding Venat being key to understanding Cid and Vayne.

That all seems very power hungry to me. Power hungriness doesn't need a motivation; want for power is a motivation.

Spoiler

The Empire is shown as invading Dalmasca and all the nastiness associated with that. Unless I misremember, the King dies in battle, and the machinations involving framing Basch was simply to force unconditional surrender. He seemed to have wanted some sort of puppet government that he knew could be controlled. While certainly not good, it's war. And the Emperor is still in charge at the time, is he not? Wouldn't that mean he's responsible, not Vayne? Or was it said that Vayne orchestrated the invasion?

Furthermore, his conslidation of power is also played ambiguously. The Senate is shown as power-hungry and fearful of Vayne only because they'd be a threat to his power. They don't seem to care about Vayne's morality (or lack thereof) at all. Vayne's father is worried about him thrusting them into war, which is obviously proved to be true. But again, why was Vayne so fixated on starting a world war? If Vayne believed the war was necessary for some reason, as I thought the game was hinting at, he'd arguably be justified in his actions. Setting that aside, after he assassinated his father and arrested the Senate, the only person left to challenge his power is Larsa. He certainly doesn't need a war to consolidate his power. If anything, you'd think if he's just obsessed with power he'd move against Larsa, or at least be antagonistic toward him. But we don't get a whiff of that from Vayne.

It's clear he wanted power. But he wanted that power to wage war against everyone and execute his plan to rid the world of Occurian influence. It's never said, as I recall, why he wants war. But it seems to me that it's connected to that second goal. I'm just not clear how they are connected, exactly.

Vayne doesn't do this.

Oh, that's right... So what exactly happened there? Cid fused the crystals with the Sun Cryst to make it... bleed its power so that the Bahamut could use it? I'm confused now.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Why do staves and rods affect atk power instead of magic power? Seems kind of odd for mages to not have weapons that improve their magic damage.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Rods do affect magic power.

Staves don't (staves apparently also boost magic power, I'm blind), but instead certain staves greatly boost specific spells/elements.

Edit: See my edit above. So staves and rods both DO boost magic power.

Question about the Archer Board:

How do I unlock the upper HP slots? They're apart on their own, and I can't reach them. Do I need to buy another slot in the RedMage board? (I've Fran as an Archer/RedMage)

 

[TurnipFritters]

Including

Spoiler

Archades?

Most of everything else you visit is Dalmascan turf, I thought.

Everything from Ozmone Plains and onward is a different continent. Nalbina to the Phon Coast is former Nabradia, and then the Phon Coast to Archades is, well, Archades. (Well, ok, technically during the game everything from Archades to Ozmone Plains is Archades because of that whole war thing)

Question about the Archer Board:

How do I unlock the upper HP slots? They're apart on their own, and I can't reach them. Do I need to buy another slot in the RedMage board? (I've Fran as an Archer/RedMage)

When you defeat an Esper, it's license will appear on the board somewhere, often times filling in a gap. The Archer's HP licenses up top are from Famfrit, which, uh, is something you won't see for a very long time.

However, if you look in the lower left of the Red Battlemage board, you should see a +435 HP augment blocked by a 125 LP Quickening license. That HP augment is shared between the two boards, so if you activate that on the Red Battlemage board, it'll be activated on the Archer board. That means you can also pick up the +390 HP augment beside it without having to get to Famfrit first.

(You can also activate the 125 LP Quickening slot on your Archer board, which will activate it on the Red Battlemage board. It looks like that way'd be faster, but you'd have to double check)

 

[Fisty]

Ack... any tips for 5 Judges? They are slapping my dudes for like 5000 HP a hit. Tried to Niho+Remedy each of them, also Zodiark spam, but my survivability is very low in this fight and I can't knock out more than 2 of them (and even that requires a lot of luck)

 

[FloppyDelux]

Finally, beat the game, the final boss was a pain, but I killed him with only 2 characters ( Penelo and Basch) with less than 500 hp remaining.

[yunbuns]

Replaying this game has reminded me of why I can never truly like this game the way others do. Say what you will about XV, but I never felt like the party wasn't friends. There was a sense of comradery between the four characters that's just completely absent with the party of XII. The few scenes where the character's talk to each other, that isn't plot related, is never used to actually have the party interact with other in interesting ways or just learn about each other. Is really fucking bizarre and disappointing because there is a lot of potential there.

I was also on the ff wiki and saw something that really baffled me,

Spoiler

The manga version expands on the events. Ashe, Vaan and Penelo attempt to retrieve the Dawn Shard while the others fight Belias. Vaan wants to help the others, but Ashe claims finding the Dawn Shard takes priority. Vaan is unimpressed with Ashe's attitude toward power and her friends and abandons her to look for the Dawn Shard alone while he helps the others in battling Belias. Ashe retrieves the Dawn Shard and returns to protect Vaan from the Esper, and the group defeats Belias together. Belias's glyph marks itself on the back of Ashe's hand as a sign of its servitude to her. Ashe and Vaan see an apparition of Rasler, and Ashe thinks back to their marriage.

Like...I don't understand why this wasn't in the game? It would have been really cool to see Ashe struggling more with her desire for power and doing the right thing such as protecting her friends. Also having Vaan challenge her would have been nice and would have made him feel more relevant.

I thought it was that hard but apparently you just need to be quick and be prepared, this is what I did:

1. Dispelga them all
2. Niho + Remedy (make sure user has Remedy Lore 3) on Ghis, Drace, and Bergan
3. Zodiark -> Elixir/Megalixir -> Zodiark -> Elixir/Megalixir until Ghis, Drace, and Bergan are dead.
4. Make your 2 members attack Gabranth while you Niho + Prince's Kiss repeatedly on Zargabaath, also Wither + Expose Gabranth
5. Once Gabranth is dead, kill Zagraabath

Yeah it threw me off because I guess enemies don't have the ZZzzz effect over their heads when they have Sleep. I would try to watch him, but he would just pop out of Sleep and elixir Gabranth almost immediately, so I just started spamming Remedy. I think my main issue was focusing on Zodiark too much at first, but once I took the time to rebuff and draw them all into the center (and making sure Seiten user was focused correctly) it seemed to work out better once it was just G&Z

Oh and quick question, do you need to beat the final boss/dungeon for the bestiary trophy? That's the only one I haven't gotten, besides Concurrences

Always go for mist charge when available, other use lvl 3 quickening first, after that it's down to luck. The judge are not needed for the bestiary. But they have their own trophy.

1. No, all the enemies in the final dungeon and the trial stages are not counted to the bestiary.

2. The Black Hole Concurrence is pure luck and you have to focus on the bars and Mist Recharges. What I did was write down in a piece of paper something like this:

3   3   3   3
2   2   2   2
1   1   1   1

And I cross out whatever quickening I've done (like I cross out one 3 if I've done a 3-bar quickening) so I can keep track of the calculations. Better if you label on top the party members like so.

V   F   P   ? 
3   3   3   3
2   2   2   2
1   1   1   1

V = Vaan, F = Fran, P = Penelo, ? = Any

I started off with 3, then when there's recharge, I prioritize that.

Also take note that the members will be assigned to specific buttons depending on the order of your party, like for here Vaan is on Triangle, Fran is on Square, Penelo is on X.

Two hours for Yiazmat? You played at regular speed

4x speed. I used the Reverse technique.

I am still relatively early in the game but I bought the gambit Foe HP = 100% and put steal on that. That way there is always at least one attempt on each enemy. It does get a little murky when there a bunch of mobs and instead of attacking anything they're just stealing away.

Did Trial 100. Until you kill the first Judge, it's the hardest fight in the series in my view. Once you Remedy them all and get yourself in a position to start using Zodiark anr Quickenings it's not too bad. Getting to that stage is the hardest part. As soon as Ghis is dead then you're onnthe victory road.

Just need to finish the game and do the Bestiary trophy. Not sure what I'm missing because I went through a list before and thought I got them all. Are there any enemies in the final dungeon? Also do I need to add them in the main game only, or are Trails also allowed? I know several of the rare monsters I countee in Trial only like Gavial.

Haha no worries. I'm just not too bright when it comes to RPGs and was hoping I could look at someone else's gambits setup for their Shikari so I could copy it and analyse.

All I want is for him to be useful, as my black mage is getting distracted a lot and I want to keep her focused on elemental damage. My knight is good on damage and health but my Shikari is just whacking enemies with his dagger and every now and then tossing a potion or antidote to other players and reviving the black mage if she dies.

One thing that helps with those with lower rates is that you can zone in and out of the room several times and it is quite likely that the monster will appear. Just clear a room or kill a couple of monsters, zone back and forth five times or so, and there is a pretty strong chance your monster will show.

Yeah. I have to wait 40 minutes for Zombie Lord to spawn.

I can't understand how someone would stumble on some of those monsters by chance only.

Oh well, gotta continue after work. Hopefully I'll be able to platinum this game later today.

For the concurrences, do you have to get the exact requirements or can you go over? For instance, would I get Black Hole if I did 4 threes, 4 twos, and lets say 6 ones?

You can go over, you might get a Stronger Concurrences by doing so but if you're aiming for Black Hole, go ahead.
