Nenga Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Wow you guys are good, I can't even defeat Ixion so I'll probably never defeat Yiazmat. Ixion is annoying like most marks after pharos. When you get to Yiazmat you'll be wanting Ixion back though. For Ixion all I did was just destroy him physically. As for the Elder wyrm he was annoying. Take out the trents first. Have at least one ranged attacker. Every attack has an effect range, from aero to cyclone, which you'll find out all about that later. You should have Esuna, use it right away on your characters. As for accessories i'd equip to avoid confusion if you have that, but if you don't then equip to avoid silence. Remedy lore 2 will help as well (or any of them). Alternatively you can run through the feywood and bypass the elder wyrm but the enemies are about 20 levels higher than you are. Tl;dr version: Everything is annoying but I wish I had them back because i've defeated bosses about 10x their strength. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zierro Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 The only status effect that ever bothered me was confusion and disable. Those suck. :x Wow you guys are good, I can't even defeat Ixion so I'll probably never defeat Yiazmat. I didn't really have problems with any of the monsters in the game except for Chaos, Fafnir, and Yiazmat. As long as you spend some time training your characters and getting some good equipment, you'll be set. Right now I'm trying to get a Brave Suit. Running through Henne Mines is such a pain.

Harakiri Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Can you pre-order FFXIII yet? I'm wondering if Gamestop will have exclusive stuff for people who preorder it. Also, 2000 post! WOOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Tam_Tan_Tien Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I think XII was amazing. The graphics were superb compared to most of the other games and i really enjoyed the fight style ( better than the turn based on IMO ), it was incredibly slow to get into the story though....so many cut scenes *shudder*. But once you get some free reign to do what you want, you can really see what an amazing game it is. Also FF tactics is a great game to play when you have to drive to your auntie and uncles house which is 2 hours away : O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O OO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Then I read up that you can take voyagees and buy stones from the ships. I got like 30 of em'. Gonna be doing some hunts before continung with the story ;D Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob.

Dax Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Restarted FF XII a while back, up to Eruyt Village, did anyone else think Larsa was a chick the first time you met them? :ohnoes: #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was shocked when it was all revealed. Has anyone got Matamune and can tell me what to do with the number one and why it wont work? :( #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Adam Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I stopped playing FFXII a while ago because I wasn't finding it fun, but now that I'm a bit farther in it's much better. If only the people would talk more normal (Ashe and Larsa in particular). I'm trying to kill the Elder Wyrm as well, I'll have to use Sworddude's advice. Oh, and does anyone know why I seem to hurt things less later in fights? Especially bosses. Is it just them using Protect? EDIT: Got him :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nenga Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Last stand. It's an ability that your def shoots up when you reach critical. Not too big a deal now, but when if you reach Yiazmat you'll hate it. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim_Tam_Tan_Tien Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 You can search on youtube for a way to beat Yiazmat through trapping him in the tunnel area ( you know the little underground bits around the arena?) and using reflect on your party, then casting i think its....dark? Yiazmat can't hit you but the dark bounces off and hits him...you then turn off your tv..watch a movie and wait for the magic to happen. Takes sooo long though lol. Another tip is to NEVER use spells. Fully stock up to 99 phoenix downs, chronos tears etc, then just set your gambits accordingly...Spells waste time that you cant afford to waste. Since you can exit the arena any time and he will still be on the same Hp you left him at, the only problem is money ( although a little counter in the corner is present when you re-enter and its rumored that he gets harder per re-entry.) When he does that wind attack ( forgot the name ) you can see him casting it, quickly equip your 3 chars with a windbreaker armour that halves the damage, and switch back once hes done. Its pretty easy once you set up the proper gambits, just try to get your 3 mains to 99 ( using the sewer bat lvling ) and maybe the others to around 70 so they can survive for long enough to phoenix down your mains if they die.

Dax Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Finally got the Dull Fragment and went to the Necrohol, killed Fury and the Humbaba, took on Chaos but lost, why weren't my magic attacks hitting?

They charged to the max and stood there for like five seconds before they took anything out... Please help... :ohnoes: When you have the magic attacks that take a large charge time (flare, ardor , etc) they can't be on the screen with another spell but the enemy can still attack while they charge. Probably because the PS2 just can't handle the animations. For Chaos I just attacked. For most of my battles I have my leader constantly attacking so atleast someone is, I let my gambits take over healing unless my leader really needs to throw something in. For the higher up fights (like with the better monsters) all your mp should be devoted to healing anyway. In a case like Yiazmat do not,ever, cast normal magic. You run out of mp fast enough without doing that. Ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try using Telekinesis and other Techniks to attack Chaos when my main party is all Level 75. I have my game saved in the Henne Mines, ready to have a third attempt at the Abysteel method. :lol: #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Adam Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 What are pebbles for? I bought a bazaar good (some grimoire that makes me get better drops), and I started getting them.

Pebbles are just rare items worth nothing, a side-effect of Grimoires (sp?) but the more valued items add up and will make up for the price. Can't remember what I did for Mateus, I think I just hit her to death with axes. :lol: #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit her and heal until she goes away. I hate rare monster hunting. 40 down, 40 to go. (i've been taking it slow of FFXII). The damn cultsworn lich won't appear for me. Not to mention it's rare I dont one hit it anyway. The weakest weapon I have is the iron sword which I hit around 1k with that. Sadly I hit about 2k with my fists so that isn't an option. (This is the part where ppl in the early part of the game go :shock: and then realise that it doesn't really make that much a different this late in the game.) I'm just glad that every rare game I face has 50k or less hp so they fall very quickly. 40k might have been a problem when I was trying to fight the gil snapper but not now. Ponies!

Telekinesis works, and hits well. :thumbup: Gonna try and take on Ultima tomorrow, I'm gonna hate that damn crystal... :wall: Would my team 73, 73, 73 be able to take him out?
