Topic: Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2 and XII - Now with 80% more FF VIII

Yep, @NintendoByNature.... Keep us updated with your progress

@BruceCM sure will. Especially when I run into any snags. Btw i tapped L and did damage to multiple enemies, so it worked..

@Dezzy ah, not far off. Yeah seems like it.

Cool, @NintendoByNature ....

@BruceCM got to the first save point in the fossil roos last night. I'm considering doing some grinding to get to a good safe point. I did struggle with the green snake like creature on the way in, but didn't struggle with lani. I couldn't find anywhere online what level I should be at. Any idea what level i should be at around this part of the game?

Bet you didn't find Tantarian, in the castle library while you were there, did you, @NintendoByNature .... ? My party was about level 17 at that point, I think! Save grinding until you get your awesome mage, though (you'll know when you have). Should have enough time to level her up before the next boss & there's a way to make that quite easy, anyway But good idea to aim for an average level 28/7 for then

@BruceCM I just spent a good hour or so grinding in the fossil roo.. went from garnet being my lowest party member of 14 up to 20. So you're suggesting I keep grinding away?

Oh and I used quina to learn new abilities by eating enemies. I got 3 new abilities from it though i forgot the names exactly( darkness, wind, and something else?)

Um, well, I recommended waiting to get your next character before grinding, @NintendoByNature .... ? You should gain a few levels between now & then, in natural progression Dunno about Quina's weird version of Blue Magic, since I don't tend to like that in any FF & it's even worse in this one but if you really want to eat things to learn stuff, carry on

@BruceCM now you need to explain yourself 😂. Why is learning blue magic bad? I figured thats what I'm supposed to do?

And Please don't tell I did a ton of grinding for no reason lol.. is there a particular reason i should wait to grind with the next character?

Well, I suggested waiting for your next party member so you can grind with her, @NintendoByNature .... It'll all even out in the end, though! It's more I just don't get on with Blue Magic in any FF game & then I dislike Quina & the way it learns it's version You'll get more than enough good characters to use, anyway & it'd take forever finding all the stuff it can learn! Eh, carry on to the character in question & update me then?

@BruceCM haha ok thanks. I'll keep you updated

Cool, you seem to be liking it, at least, @NintendoByNature ..... That's the main thing!

@BruceCM i love it. It's just easy for me to miss a whole bunch of stuff in these games as im not used to them at all. It's a learning curve for me, at least. But I am enjoying it nontheless.

Yeah but fortunately a lot of the general things are very similar in most FF games, @NintendoByNature .... & imagine playing FFIII on DS, without access to the internet That version didn't even have autosave, let alone save-points in dungeons

Got the latest party member earlier today(Eiko), and I kind of wish quina could've been kept. But, maybe eiko will grow on me.

So just before I got eiko i fought the giant ogre like boss and absolutely crushed him, very easily. I guessed all that leveling paid off. Now i have my entire party at 25-26. And left the rubble town eiko lived at. Wondering if i should level up more, or continue on? @BruceCM

@NintendoByNature

If you close your eyes and wish really hard, Quina will return.

@Dezzy ehh turns out I'm more of a red headed claw wielding type of guy after all

Might as well carry on, @NintendoByNature .... Next boss isn't too far away, see how that goes!

@BruceCM bottom of the tree boss? Super easy ☺

Cool, @NintendoByNature .... That Soulcage? You got the final party member yet? Since you seem to be around there
