Gaming 7th Dragon III CODE: VFD

[piratesephiroth]

If there's anyone whose getting irritated by the sections where the game forces you to use a different team there's an easy work around. You can just go to Modems and swap the order of your team. It makes it easy to just use your normal team for these sections.

Yeah that's what I did. There was no way I would train and get equipment for other teams.

Same. Neat trick and I found it purely by accident.

 

[vayanui8]

The first time it happened I didn't realize you could do it so I ended up getting equips for the second party, but after that I realized that the game could be manipulated so I could just use my main party

 

[chaoskagami]

I feel like this would be an interesting game to speedrun.

 

[vayanui8]

I could actually see a speedrun working for this game. While turn based rpgs can't usually be played that way. the variety of classes could probably make it so certain strategies could make it through the game udnerlevelled. I'd be interested to see what someone could pull off.

 

[chaoskagami]

Well, I completed the postgame at a much much lower level than @piratesephiroth, in terms of strategy. It's definitely the sort of game you can min-max through.

You can always exit the dungeon, either by the entrance or by one of those blue portal things.

sadly there are no portal and when i try to go to the entrance the game keep saying me "It's not the direction to achieve the mission"

there's always a portal, just try to advance little by little until you get to one.

Some areas don't allow turning back for a bit. The very beginning of atlantis and eden comes to mind.

Worst case scenario, you should be carrying the escape item whatever it was.

BTW, people playing VFD should go play the fan translations of 2020 and 7th dragon. Gives some interesting context as to some characters.

i fucked up my save , i can't kill the high dragon with my 2nd pt

 

[piratesephiroth]

there's always a teleport thing before the bosses.

IDK what to tell you. This game will kill you if you don't prepare adequately. Warp back, grind some.

 

[piratesephiroth]

Just warp back, swap the teams then return and fight the boss with your main squad

 

[dragon2014]

nvm guys i finally killed it , forget i had my old gear thanks !

So I have quite a problem in the game right now. I'm on chapter 6 facing

Spoiler

Yuma

and reading around seems that Ex skills are very recomended to beat the boss. The problem is that I've never learned them, I did all the sidequests and kill all the dragons I've encountered.
Now

Spoiler

as everyone is dead, I can't learn anything

. So...I suppose I hit a wall in this situation?. I don't have any save prior to chapter 6 and seems that now I'm unnable to learn the skills.

The Ex skills have specific learn conditions - I recommend talking to the NPC. Obtaining Ex skills is not map-marked nor a quest, you have to do a little guesswork. As far as I know, you can still backtrack to get a few of them, but you might be screwed until the boss after Yuma.

You have a few choices because of his 100% regeneration nonsense.

1) Backtrack and possibly acquire an Ex Skill (untested)
2) Stack status effects every turn to force him to waste turns curing rather than healing, and potentially paralysis. Even then, this requires near perfect luck, and you'll probably need to be overlevelled massively.
3) Cheese it. There's two general methods. Both abuse all-outs and back row formations. You either use the Banisher's fully loaded Earthquake, or the Rune Knight's Brave Sword. Both are high damage output, and getting him to about 2/3 HP and following up with about six earthquakes will kill him if you're sufficiently levelled.
