Onion Knight is fantastic for FMS. Farming exp is really easy in Ultimate difficulty with him, thanks to his insane Agility and perfect skill selection. Buff him up even further with CollectaCards, and enjoy winning at least 16000 exp per run (with him as the leader, and without tripping, of course).

Agreed with both of you. Onion Knight for the win.

Currently, these are my parties..
FMS:
Heh, we have the same FMS except I have Zidane instead of Balthier.
Wish there was a way to save a party setup, making it easier to switch them.
Can someone send me a quest full of FMS in about 30 mins?
Yeah, let me know when you're free.
Edit: Hmm, my game is stuck at the "Extra data is being checked now..." screen.
Edit2: Huh, weird. I had to bypass the loading screen by playing my quick start song. Now it's back to normal. I was scared my save file got corrupted somehow. D:
She probably will. I barely know 1 song and barely have played FF IX and i fucking love this game!
She's a bug music buff send plays guitar and piano do I thought this could be a fun diversion.

Anyone else really miss the prebattle captions?
I was hoping to capture them as screenshots in this version and then use them as templates.

Had a weird dream last night I was playing Transformers, Earthbound, and other different franchises as dlc in this game!
Would be kind of cool.

I do, but I'm mostly just bummed out that you can't take screenshots of the pre-BMS party faces, sometimes they're totally hilarious.

Finally unlocked all the characters, which means my time with my initial party of Lightning #2, Cieran, Ace, and Zack is coming to an end. Just need to get some Level 1 Chaos Maps for my new party

I managed to get an EXP hound scroll. I'm using it on Cosmos. My only hope of survival in these ultimate songs is with Paeon healing and Soul Voice buff which is an extremely CP hungry setup so resets needed.
Apparently this weeks DLC brings us to the end of songs released in Japan but there will still be a character missing; Krille. Does that mean she will be on her own next week or just not included? Then again that press release is a tad out of date, I also wonder who added the words "the final batch".

In the long term the flaw the Onion Knight has is their luck is lacking compared to characters like Locke, Balthier and Rikku. But early on it is really easy to get massive agility on him (and the initial cap of 50CP is not an obstacle to this goal).
I have so many level down nuts but Level 1 maps are just such a torture to play through. I should really use airship tickets on them to get them over with as I'm again backed into the corner against of getting maps full of ultimate stages I can't complete.

You can. I think some shards are more likely to be rewards from higher level quests but the Rhythmia unlocks will eventually be any shards you lack. Shards also rarely drop outside of quest mode.

Indeed. You'll get a bunch of shards as Rhythmia rewards for like the first 30,000 you get, but after that, you just get one, so you'll need to do Quest Medleys to get the majority of them. Black Shards are the hardest to find though.

Yep, very possible. It's easier to make a team that can survive an FMS, but with a lot of preperation you can make that one survices BMSes too.

"Beat" the game today (IE hit the credits). Still continuing on, leveling up and unlocking characters. Still have quite a few left. Just out of curiosity: can you only get a quest boss's drops once? Or can you farm one if you really needed to? Not an issue yet, but maybe it could come up in the future and it'd be nice to know.
Also, screw rotating triggers. I know I just need to get used to them, since they're consistent and not really adding any true difficulty, but the stupid things always throw me off!

You can only get a boss's "reward" drop (which is generally a handful of shards, although it can be other things) once, but its three main drops are farmable if you repeat the quest and kill the boss multiple times. It can be handy if a boss has something like an Exp Up Scroll in its drop table.
I *still* cannot deal with rotating triggers. I can do Ultimate scores just fine and have no problem with speedy notes in general, but rotating triggers are my absolute undoing. It's honestly kind of embarrassing how badly Monster Buff screws me over when I play online. =/

Lv99 with Turquoise x4 Reward
Lv31 with Golden Shard Drop & Turquoise x5 , Yellow x2 Reward

You still around? I can hop on in like 5 minutes if you want a level 50 version of the Nostalgic Bracing map. Also have I think the level 75 chocobo map if you want. FC is 5455-9558-6601, in-game tag is Jimmy. I don't have the level 50 Nostalgic Recent map. I'm good on the other ones, but I really weirdly have gotten like zero white shards, if you or anyone else has maps that have a lot of white shards I'd love to get them. I'm still missing several characters but on most I'm on my last character for that color, but I'm still missing 4 white shard characters.

Yeah, I will be online in ten minutes. My daughter is playing Smash Bros right now before bed time.... lol I'll check and see if I have any White Shard maps already cleared.
Okay I added you. Don't have a ton of time to play so we'll have to do one, back out to change profilecard maps and do a second game, then I'll probably need to go after that. Don't have any particularly special maps other than the 50 Bracing and 75 Pastoral unfortunately anyway.

Okay just added you, I'll setup my ProfiCard and search for you. Are you hosting the game?
cool, I got it!
I'll host, getting on right now.
Edit: Okay, downloaded the map from your card and changed my map, re-hosting with the new map. Don't forget to download the first one first!
Edit 2: Good stuff, thanks! Sorry I couldn't play longer, both of those games were super close.
Adam Prime

Cool, thanks for the maps!
And thanks for letting me win that second battle. I was getting pretty damn salty about getting Chain Attacked and then using a revival. I kinda hate online battles, I get WORKED up when I lose! It reminds me of my Street Fighter days. Not good for my heart...

Actually wasn't on purpose, I got screwed at the very end by the effect where it counts as a Bad if you don't get a Critical note and I missed like 5 notes >_>
Adam Prime

Fucking JUDGEMENT. I hate that effect. Battle mode is fun, and also infuriating.
Yeah, pretty much. Even if it's not a particularly bad or annoying status effect I have a tendency to just completely melt when they hit me for some reason, no idea. I wind up doing better on Ultimate no EX mode over Expert with EX on, even though I'm still kinda terrible at most Ultimate songs.
So, what's the usual preference, short quests or long ones? Also... what exactly is the purpose of "EX Boss" spaces on the map? I mean, they don't have special rewards and normal battles have "boss" monsters too. Do they just have better potential drops?
Edit: Also, chains of short hold triggers ending in slide triggers has to be my ultimate weakness in this game. Definitely feels like they stepped up the difficulty for Ultimates in this game.

No image yet, oddly, but this week's DLC is up. The SpotPass also calls it "the final batch", so it looks like we're not getting Krile.

Monster buff, invisible triggers are ones I hate in battle mode.
Finally done Gold in vs. AI. Now Platinum is just a screen of ultimate scores *shudder*. I also found out what happens if you lose anywhere during a league. Back to the start...(I lost to no. 1 Gold).
Character-wise it seems most of what is left locked is gold shard based. Feels bad when you play a long quest, fail to beat one of the bosses and the other two gave you a load of useless shards. I wonder if it is worth brute forcing of constantly losing on a map until one coughs out useful shards to get more or does it only give you a new map once.
I also had a lovely shock of a level 53 short quest starting off with an ultimate song that nearly killed me.
Long for EXP. Short might be better when you are down to a few shard flavors. I think EX boss spaces start with a boss enemy in the song (but might not count as a boss), the manual says the colour tells you which boss it is.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're asking, but you can keep beating the same quest and it will continue to generate new maps for you. It's not a one-time thing, so if you wanted to run a single level 1 map into the ground you could.
I thought they'd at least throw in both characters. Sucks that this will be the last batch. D:

No new DLC AND no Krile?
I can understand not wanting to create new DLC and release it months after the Japanese release but the decision not to toss a pre-created character onto the list completely baffles me.

That is really fucking stupid. What's the point in not releasing her?

Time to ask about this on their FB page? It's the only way I can think of that we may get an answer.
So I haven't been keeping up with the thread, but I've been playing this (just leveling my characters with the exp map), and I'm wondering if there have been any more amazing Quest Medleys discovered since the exp map?
Also, I'm almost done leveling up everyone, and will start resetting 4 characters until they have 100 CP each. Is there a general consensus on which 4 are best to do this with. Also, do characters have a max stat cap? Can I max all 6 stats? And is it smart to do so, if yes?
One last thing; what's the best way to farm cards, other than using that one item that turns all rewards to cards?

Square hating on FFV as usual.
That was about the only DLC character I wanted. :[

All the "nostalgic" chaos maps have themes to them. Such as all FMS, all BMS, only songs from certain series, etc. There are also some chaos maps with the Feral Chaos boss (you get a trophy for defeating him).
For characters and builds... you can check this gamefaq.
I assume VS mode is the best for cards. If you're looking for specific cards, check this (from the same faq).
