Is Rita cheese still a thing in this version?

[OsisNie]

I only played the 360 version when it launched but I remember Rita had some way late game to just spam spells non-stop and I abused the holy hell out of it. Is that still a thing in this version? Now that it's on sale I might pick it up to check out the "definitive" stuff. FF7R put me in the mood for JRPGs again.

[Simon]

Yes, it is still the case

[Emerald Lance]

I still use Rita to grind my grade. It's beautiful.

'Blah Blah Blah, TIDAL WAVE!'

[マーキュリアス]

Yep. It is still a thing.

Is it worth it? No. Her damage output is the lowest in the party. Well, spells in general in this game don't do much damage at all.

This is blatantly false.

Oh, really? I would like to see some evidence that supports this.

Violet pain that does like 2k vs Yuri's concealed wave that hits for like 14k would like to have a word with you. :/

The only spell that does damage for rita is fire ball. Tidal wave does not out-damage any other character. Crismon Flare's damage is terrible. Spread Zero is okay. Meteor storm damage isn't consistent.

Even with proper gear setup, Karol who can do 20~40k per hit with reaper knock. Flynn's demonic circle hitting up to 200k (non-charge)...list goes on...

As someone who has hosted this game on Parsec with multiple Rita's mains, During the course of the run. The Rita main's stopped playing her, because they realize her damage tactics are simply too low.

They must have been ♥♥♥♥ players then. That video that was already posted proved you wrong.

Boom. I can't believe I had to re-download this game to confidently emulate the Rita's stats from that video.

*Ahem* Imagine having to spend 75 TP to get out-damaged by just Sonic Thrust? Just one arte, and still have the ability to do another arte after it?

I believe my statement was: "Is it worth it? No. Her damage output is the lowest in the party. Well, spells in general in this game don't do much damage at all."

The Rita in that video, which I am confident has 9999 Magical Attack. It's the only way Tidal Wave would have such high ticks.

As a person who actually took the time to emulate the exacts same result. I wanted to believe Rita could do around the same damage, but no. She just doesn't.

With the exact same stats, in fact little less, (Minor I must add) Flynn has 99xx Physical attack. Sonic thrust alone ranges from around 30k~72k. Add in a few basic attacks that could be like potentially, 100k with just 2~3 hits.

You noticed how Rita's mystic arte only did 100k on dhaos? I couldn't get all the hits to connect I probably should have used a spell, but its irrelevant regardless because the initial hit of Flynn's mystic arte did 74k. :S


Not to be that person, but not sure how you could be a bad rita player. All you do is OVL and spam a spell. The Rita players even checked if I had any damage modifiers (half damage | ETC ) that would potentially lower her damage, but no.

What I was saying was: Every other character does more damage than Rita. There is no way you wouldn't notice the damage difference, even without, the fell arms power. Especially, if you just used Yuri's concealed wave, Repede's cerscent fang, Estelle's dividing edge. Especially how silly Karol's Reaper knock damage is.

It's very HARD not to notice how much damage those artes do in comparison to what Rita does.

I think that what contributes to Rita's infamy isn't as much her damage output, but rather her ability to stunlock foes by spamming spells in Overlimit, Tidal Wave especially. That's part of the reason she's used for Grade farming, I think.
