Ark's animation

[Corban]

So I'm posting this because I'm using Ark against Nova's Dragon. It takes way toooooo long.
What do you usually do in animations like Ark or Knights of Round (FFVII)?


Maybe I should disable support ability from Sarah....

It works in your favour with auto regen/haste.

But yeah, speed boost it or disable boost.

or better yet, use a good character instead of Garnet.

They can't deal enough damage to make that long animation worth it. Even with Vivi's flare animation I can regen all the lost life, same with haste.


And what if I want to use Sarah? Childhood crush with that white mage cap at the start of the game.
And please, don't say Eiko as a good character, too annoying.

Garnet and Eiko are both pretty bad tbh.

Great if you need a security blanket I guess.

But there's no a real need for the strongest characters (aside from lvl1 run), game is pretty easy so you can do whatever you want and still defeat bosses.

I see FFIX (my best game forever) like offline Pokemon, you can win with your favourites.

eiko is the best character!! okay! yes I said it! hmm mm! She's a bad-ass 1000 times better than ratchet asian chick: Sarah-Garnet, (!) this girl doesn't even know her real name! (Dagger, Garnet, Sarah) Her ass is bouncin!
Eiko is the best cause her ass got Holy and regen and Might, and Madeen (which is a even more bad ass) and she got the power to save you from getting an annhilated with: Rebirth Flame, "still I rise"!
My opinion though, I know you have yours to loving Sarah, so I respect that.
Eiko good in book of mine. :D

That's your opinion and I respect it.
It's undeniable that Eiko is better than Sarah (hey, if you see your family destroyed and you get hit by a tornado losing your memory maybe you also have problems with your name!) in supporting magic, but once you get autohaste and autoregen she doesn't seem sooo useful, Sarah's eidolons are way better and madine... welp, I've never liked madine.

Rebirth flame meh, took several dozens of tries to get that achievement and never, not even in PSX, I got my ass saved by that (and in PSX I always used both).

Rebirth flame's chance of popping is dependant on how many pheonix pinions you have. as for Sarah Odin with Odin's sword ability is much better damage for MP and animation time.

Yeah, I had 96 when I tried it.
But even having the max (99) if I remember correctly the max chance is between 30 and 40% for lucky guys, and for people like me is... just another stupid RNG.

*roll eyes*

I know right, how dare people try to actually be good.

You need another ban I think, you're getting uppity again.

In later playthroughs I found myself use Atmos more and more often. With just about 60 amethysts and boost it's guaranteed 9999 damage for enemies with a lot of HP.

just stop talking to me, better yet, block me, if you think that so much.

Blocking you doesn't stop your forum posts from appearing, sadly.

This, Vivi is the best healer in the end game. Doomsday + shadow absorving gear = Curaga for your entire party and massive damage to the enemy at the same turn. There, Vivi just took the place of Garnet and Eiko. But that's just my opinion.

Of course Vivi it's in the party, but like I said before I don't need healers, I don't even need long animations to restore to full HP, is just that I like having Sarah in my party.

And you're absolutely right. You have to use characters that you like to use. Hell, I like to use Freya's jump just because it looks badass and I don't give a damn about damage, I just like to see it in action. In the end, having fun it's all that matters, right?

Yeah, you are right and I'm glad that we understand each other.
