I thought you got the genji set as a reward for hunt 42, not from stealing...

You can get them from Phon coast Bangaas afaik. You have to give the middle guy 15 trophies and 5 each to the rest.
I just stole mine from Gilgamesh. Pretty easy.
Holy shit lol, my condolences. That's one item you don't wanna miss out on.
Little research, just gotta keep on zoning in and out. It's a 25%(?) spawn chest near the west exit.
Foebreaker it is. Thanks!
This was WILD.
If you see no prompts for a quickening you can press R2 to cycle again and hope for a Mist Charge. Activating a mist charge gets you another chance to execute a quickening. Rinse and repeat (hopefully).

I posted this a few pages ago in response to someone else, should be what you're looking for though.

Well, it took only 45 minutes to get 6 Seitengrat.
What do you know, when a method is said to be 100% and in fact truly is, it doesn't take long to get what you need.

Its like people forgot that it was originally supposed to take you 60 hours of zoning to get one.

I never forgot, because I never knew/experienced it
First time playing the game.
That said, I thank you and everyone else who put out methods and researched the freaking thing, because without you guys, it's obvious I wouldn't have got so many of them in such a short time.
Beat thing about that art is Balthiers hover hand the normal case has this art as reverse just love his hover hand

the buff to summons is pretty decent , steamtrolling bossfights with them
I'm just a few hours in but I'm so happy that I can give this another shot. I didn't get very far when it was first released because I was too hung up on the fact that it wasn't exactly what I hoped. Once you accept the game on its own terms, flaws and all - and the flaws aren't even that bad - it's pretty fucking awesome.

I think I already know the answer to this is no, but is there any way to refund all your LP and reset your jobs? I've made some questionable decisions I'd rather undo...

Obviously the answer is no.
Though I've never seen an RPG that lets you "refund" choices in stat building, and I think that's actually an interesting QOL angle for an RPG someday...

Dark souls, Witcher 3...
Edit: Not the first dark souls iirc. But DS2 and 3 at very least.

Lol
Yeah many games do. It's so easy to make a mistake that having the option is a massive QOL improvement.

Oh.. I've played 100s of RPGs, but not these
Now if you had a game with both stat refunding and gambits? Game changer!

Gonna be starting this game next weekend. I cannot believe the amount of thought that I've given to picking jobs. I know that it doesn't really matter that much or whatever, but I don't want to miss out on the fun of badass combinations with cool weapon animations that fit the characters well.
Also really looking forward to experiencing this game as an adult. Replaying FFX warmed my opinion of it quite a bit, guessing that the same thing will happen here.

Yes I think you buy it at Bur Omisace

Thanks. Sorry, dumb question, I already had it. The wiki said it was an arcane magic not time magic. Must be from the old game.
I'm pretty sure I mentioned that this exact thing would happen. You have my sympathies.

"It's fine if you missed the easy steal, just clear the hardest content in the game"
If you fuck up don't expect to easily unfuck. At very least you can still get it, unlike missing the Yagyu license.
...which I did miss. Had to rollback game 3 hours to an older save. Glad I saw it in time.

Does the order of your jobs matter, say if I want to make Vaan a Shikari/Red Battlemage, is that any different than going Red Battlemage at the start, and Shikari later on, aside from the obvious fact I'll have Red Battlemage skills first?
I never played XII on PS2, so I'm at a bit of a loss with the systems.
Also, what is the ideal battle mode and speed? I'm used to ATB, mainly the frantic X-2 pace, so Wait is seeming a bit slow for me, but I'm not sure what the actual battle speed setting changes. Is Active OK to use, or is it like Wait on XV, where it's more of an afterthought/optional way to play the game, and not the intended way?

On that subject: the consensus is to not pick the Ninja Sword 2 one (ie. Koga and Iga blade)?
So I choose the following:
Vaan- shikari
Fran machinist
Balthier Foe Braker
Penelo Monk
Am I doing right?
I remember I beat the game back in days with no trouble, but I can't really remember what job I used for each character.
Can you suggest me a primary class for missing characters and a support one too?
Of course without repeating classes if possible.

I value elemental weapons more than normal weapons, so I'd skip Ninja Blade 1. Of course, you'd have to switch weapons according to the enemies' resistance, but that's not really much to worry. In the end, as long as you have Yagyu to trivialize Yiazmat, nothing else matters.

I agree. Earth and water elements are the hardest to exploit (no earth spells and only the crappy Aqua spell). So it makes most sense to take 2, 3, 4
Cast Reverse on your team and their hits will heal you instead, giving you a far greater leg up in the fight. This was brick wall until I Reversed my way to victory.
Any tips for Gilgamesh? For some reason he's far more difficult than his hunt version.

How can you miss the Yagyu Blades? Picking too many quickenings?
The Xtortionist

Yes, it's locked behind a Shikari quickening. Make sure to pick that one.
Don't think you can miss the chest. I randomly found it in the Great Crystal.

Huh, just used Fran's shatterheart (level 3 quickening) and the timer ran out while the animation played, no option for chaining at all. That's got to be a bug, right? I definitely remember comboing level 3 quickenings in original game....
Also, did about 6,000 damage to the elder wyrm I was fighting, Fran is only level 27 or something. Didn't remember these hitting quite so hard.

Nah, sadly. You have a few different options.
Here's my favorite set up for random exploration/leveling/trash mobs where I'm prioritizing looting over all else:
Thief (highest priority) - foe: hp = 100% -> steal
Partner 1 (high prioirty) - foe: party leader target -> attack
Partner 2 (high prioirty) - foe: party leader target -> attack
This'll make it so that your thief will go around stealing from all full hp foes while your two other party members attack that same target at least once, effectively removing them from the thief's valid steal target list. By "high priority" for your partners, I mean high priority amongst across their attack gambits. I wouldn't necessarily sacrifice healing and dispelling. As long as one of the partners is attacking your thief's target, it should keep the thief moving along swimmingly. Override manually if there's a rare mob you REALLY want to steal from first, or takes multiple attempts. But otherwise, it's a fairly hands off approach.
The con to this set up is that you'll really be spreading out that DPS across encounters rather than focusing on burning down mobs as efficiently as possible.
If you'd rather shift some of the focus from stealing to attacking, change up your thief's gambits so they look more like this:
Thief (1st highest priority) - foe: hp < 90% -> attack
Thief (2nd highest priority) - foe: hp = 100% -> steal
This will interrupt your thief's stealing frenzy as your two partners weaken his/her targets, and the thief will shift focus to helping your partners take down targets before stealing from the next totally healthy one.
First setup will net you more loot. Second setup will more efficiently end encounters.
Edit - These also work best when you're actively controlling the thief, since in those situations he/she takes point and will be the first to target foes (and steal from 'em).

Damn, seems one can't get Niholopoa as early now? Was looking to remedy some tough hunts...

Does anyone have a good guide or even images for the new license boards? Looking to plan out my moves instead of just doing them on the fly like I have been but all the images I've found are for the old license board.
Also about to face the mimic queen boss but I don't have a black Mage with Blizzard which everyone seems to recommend. Can Fran learn it without being a Black Mage ATM?

i didn't really have too much of a problem with that fight. just burned down his pet real fast with oil+fire, then set decoy + reverse on a tank and went ham.
i could get images if you want, but they're filled out, some spots would be blank because of espers/quickenings not being learned and i wouldn't have time to write out what each icon is

Hey guys, in case you're having issues with Zodiark, or trying to get the Trango Tower sword (now named "Great Trango"), I've posted a strategy that doesn't require a lot of prep, or effort, and is fast and efficient to grind if RNG isn't on your side.
Any questions let me know. Here's the link.
