Final Fantasy Tactics' idea of using a skill to be accumulating things during wartime to thrive seems to really explain things in my adult life.

Please God no

Umm... wut?

I'll take this moment to hijack the thread to say... the Calculator as a job was fucking nuts.

It was a very abusable skill. A good idea in theory that led to stupid gameplay strategy in practice. They should have put a cap on how many times you can use it.

Most busted ability ever. Even better if you have a couple mimes to mimic the calculated spell. Even better if you have holy-absorbing gear on your guys so you can indiscriminately target friends and foes alike.

At least refresh our memory and explain what this skill did OP
This thread deserves a "live" tag

Yeah, but to get to that point you gotta "accumulate" like a madman.

Self buff skill. Your character spends his turn to powerup and increase his attack power by one. The obvious thing to do was then run around, do that skill a bunch of times, then one shot everything else. You're also able to keep doing it and get exp.

And Job Points to get new jobs.

The one-two hit with the mimes destroyed battles. I was so OCD with finding the most effective single round go at it.

Can see that. Well, all is fair in love and war.... and math.

Which let you max out the calculator skill which was even more ridiculous.

I had 1 character with dance ability, 2 with calculate, and 2 mimes. Then every dance + calculated spell got tripled. I mostly used the dance that caused random status ailments or the one that permanently lowered enemy speed.
