Okay Cool, I mastered Knight with my main character and am at level 20 and have only done three actual story missions. It's making it slightly awkward for myself though as I have 4 characters at and around level 20 the others are still level 2. They are going to be really fucking hard to train now that all the enemies are also level 20.
now is the winter of our discontent

Yeah, an easy way to level is just get a goblin trapped in a corner with low HP and stand aside to attack/heal each other. Using Focus, Shout and other such stat-raise/lowering abilities can make a simple battle last hours--by the end you'll have hundreds of JP, which is freakin' handy.

BTW- slow down isn't that terrible. I noticed it, and shrugged, because I'm not even sure if it's that much slower than the PSX version. If it is, it doesn't affect the enjoyability of the game AT ALL.
So far, I only have one complaint. Blizzara was BLOCKED by a knight. I don't ever recall having magic blocked in the PSX ver. Was this a fluke? Or did they add it in, so it is akin to FFTA's magic missing...?

The re-wrote script isn't that fantastic, but it's fluent with the style of FF12 speaking crossed with old British words. o_O
What else...
Oh, Ramza (Slayman) and my fellow squire (Muscle Man) are both quite close to obtaining Onion Knight.
I looked at a chart thingy on gamefaqs.com about the new job classes, and Fell Knight looks insane to obtain! Worse than Mime! Onion Knight is hella easy though. O_o probably sucks. We'll see!

No, magic evade is a statistic.  With the right accessories, you can increase it to nearly 100%.  Most cloaks have a magic evade bonus, and many shields have a slight magic evade bonus too.  I am betting that the knight you targeted had an Aegis Shield equipped, because that makes all spells have a 50% chance to miss -- in that respect it's actually one of the best shields in the game.

Also the weapon evade statistic you see when you equip a weapon does not work unless you have the parry (weapon guard) ability equipped. You then visibly block an attack with the weapon.


Remember Fell Knight is Gafgarion's unique class. The generic Dark Class is different (and better), that gamefaqs requirements guide is wrong.

Does anyone else think this version is more difficult?  I am avoiding grinding, which I used to do constantly (grinding is pretty fun in this game), so it might be that.  But I seriously think it is harder.

not grinding will have that effect. in fact, i would actually SKIP all the random battles in the original PSX ver (by resetting the system and reloading my save before it until i was able to move without hitting a randbom battle) just to make it harder.

hmm, wonder if thats possible in this ver...

It also bums me out that I can't play the co-op missions by myself.  It drives me nuts knowing that there is this way cool content on the UMD that I'll never get to see, because I don't have any friends.

i'm sure you're not missing out on much. if FFTA's co-op quests were any clue, theyre just interesting things to enjoy with a friend, and dont have much significance to the story, nor any must-have-items worth getting.

maaaaan

i kind of felt like i was underleveled, so i spent about half an hour in a battle having ramza and luso (who i just got and is awesome) spam speed on themselves because i wanted them to know a few squire abilities.  anyway, that ended up getting me about 3000 jp and 13 levels, so now everyone else in my party is severely underleveled and does awful damage.  my ninja went from being a powerhouse to hitting for 11 half the time.  i am thinking i will have ramza/luso switch to time mage and black mage, and then kill everything but one guy on the screen with them, and have them just constantly keep the other three i use hasted while they keep using that squire +speed ability on themselves until they are caught up.  level 20 black mages fighting level 35 monsters is weak.

I almost did, I equipped a protect ring to avoid sleep/doom and slow could be countered with my time mage, but then he just breaks out with the petrifying spells and petrifies most of my party except my monk and mustadio who were on status removal duty.

Make sure you keep your party well levelled (don't overlevel too much) otherwise Finath Creek is just going to me more of a pain, as the chocobos level up with you and Choco Meteor hurts a lot even at the worst of times, it doesn't help it's a never miss unevadable ranged attack used by a fast agile monster.

Although because I overlevelled when I got Dragon Reis she one hit KO'd Sinogue the Archaic demon on the first turn after he was making death threats.

Currently Lv70ish for my two most used teams.

I beat Queklain the 3rd try, I think the bosses are a lil' more harder, I have a Ninja that owned his fat ass. :D

I'm on the mission against Zalmo. Man, I love havin' my Ninja with Auto Potion, It makes me feel so tingly inside. :D

But as I said before, lets link up and kill each other.

Man why does it feel like I'm so new to this game. I guess is because I never played the psx version that far long time ago :\.

You guys seem to know what your doing while I feel like I'm struggling, lmao. Anyways, I've started really playing this yesterday again.

I'm about to go to Lenalian Plateau to go rescue Delita's sister. Here are my players so far... Aside from a few low level squires.

So can you play multiplayer over the net? If so it would be pretty cool to play against some of you guys later when I've maxed out my characters their fair share.

Yes using xlink kai.

I just got the "Tynar Rouge" accessory from Mustadio to Agrias, it gives PA and MA +3, boosts Holy and gives permanent protect, shell and haste. You can get it from entering a city on the first of Cancer (chapter 4 probably), having enough money (don't know how much but by end game you have loads), and having Mustadio and Agrias (and maybe Lavian and Alicia, the cutscene mentioned them). Either way it's just pimped out my Agrias, but I may give it to Meliadoul whilst I train her.

So wait like, you just sort of connect to a hub of some sort, and play with other people who're connected to the same hub?  If so, it's pretty awesome that the game supports that.  I kind of wish more would be done with the PSP in terms of online shit.

Also, uh, does anyone know how teleport works?  I got it for all my dudes because it seemed awesome, and for the first few fights I'd be moving clear across the map and killing whoever I wanted to kill first, but then I started getting FAILED messages, and it doesn't even fully explain the restrictions on the ability.  I think one of the biggest shortcomings of the game is how shitty and vague a lot of the descriptions can be.  So yeah, I know it doesn't place a limit on height, because I teleported up to the top of a 3-story building when I fought Isilud's sister, and it doesn't just do it when I try to go really far, so what is it, like line of sight issues?  It's great but I don't want to keep it on without understanding what I can and can't do with it.  I can't tell you how much more awesome this game would be with a SAVE//LOAD STATE function.  I really wish I were playing it in an emulator on the PSP, instead of running it as a PSP game.
