GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I just got the hightest rank of FFXll, Order of ambrosia. In other words, i beated everything that could be beated, including Yiazmat, Omega Weapon and Zodiark; obtained every spell, map, etc, etc, etc. Except a Danjuro,the infamous almost impossible to obtain dagger, and the Zodiac Spear, just because this was my firts playthrough and i didn't know about the treasures that couldn't be openned (i wonder who came out with the idea... ). All in all, i found the game very deep and enjoyable, but also found a lot of flaws that could be fixed in the International version, like the vanish spell, or the lack of "break damage limit" for the lv3 Espers, and if they are, i even could take in consideration to import the game. Well, i think i will finish this entry with my most-less memorable and funniest moments in FFXll:

  • Most: The battle with Ultima in the great crystal, with my characters underleveled, wearing regular equipment and my other Espers, hearing every moment the Esper battle theme, nothing more to say. (runner up: (spoiler i suppose) the moment when Larsa decides to betray his brother in the Sky fortress bahamut)

  • Less: Discovering that "Schaton", the "overdrive" of Ultima was capped at 9999. Whoever though of this should be fired, really, why 250 points of magic power (only rivalized by the Zodiark 50k damage and the black hole/luminescense concurrences), without count how hard is to trigger, if the damage would be equal to that of a normal character in two seconds, why? .(Runner up: The fact that i noticed a serious lack of story segments after the events at Mt Bur Omisace, until Old Archades).

  • Funniest:When i got my first quickening, i didn't know how to use combos, so i just pressed continuously the R2 button without getting results. I felt very... when found out that the combos could be made pressing the other buttons. (Runner up: my characters fighting Zodiark, zodiark hp less than10 %, zodiark inmune to physical damage, only three allies left. I used the trick of reflectgaand Scathe on all my allies and left only a bit of hp in zodiark, i though i would win, but then, almost inmediately after my scathe is reflected, he uses his own scathe on my three characters wipping them out. Funny, isn't it).

That is so awesome! i want to be where you are.

Ultima kicked my butt. I almost didn't make it. Stupid holyja spell. I finally used the strategy that's served me well on some of the harder hunts: I set Fran to cast berserk and haste on Balthier, whom I gave the Zodiac Spear (that thing is at least fifty different kinds of awesome), kept him healed, and just let him wail. He finished off that last bit of her pretty fast. He hits for 9999 in that state. It was so beautiful I almost cried.

Congratulations!

hey congrats!! that very impressive, i'm planning on getting and doing everything but i kinda stopped playing the game about a month ago. i don't know why, but i'll get back into it soon enough.

haha i remember the first time i did a quickening i had absolutely no idea what i was doing either, i bought the guide for the game so i wouldn't open the wrong chests for the zodiac spear, but it didn't explain a thing on how to use quickenings. i guess trial and error, is the best a player can do hahahah

IpodHero: Painfully funny.

Effkay: I used the same trick of berserk + haste on Balthier but with the Formalhaut (the best gun), until Holyja, well, stopped the fun.

Sweet_ride: I was going to buy the guide, but said myself "the guide...?, a little expensive, who needs a guide", but then i reached to a shore of the Phon coast and saw a couple of pretty, juicy treasures, and i did what a normal human being would have, open them all without rest. I got the Tournesol, a handsome and overpowered weapon as well, so who cares.

Well done. A lot of people say that Omega is really tough, but I smacked it down quick. Yiamzat was a pain because it just takes so long.
