Gaming The Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings Thread

[fenthwick]

Do anyone have any tactics on the missio where you have to find the informant? I seem to loose because one of them gets killed after a while all the time.

got owned by mydia at 8-4
any tips on how to beat her ?

i have no problem defeating all enemies in the map except her
she can 1-2 hit kill all my characters + espers

btw i'm lvl 41-43

What i did was to keep everyone back, especially Penelo and her 4 Carbuncles. Then sent Basch in solo, with Protect on gambit, while still in range of penelo's heals. Also had Ashe's Haste on Gambit and had Ashe and Kytes just deal with Bomb spawns easily. Basch should tank Mydia quite easily as long as you focus all the healers on him and before too long Mydia will go down. You can send in Espers if you want but they might mess things up since they make Mydia lose focus on Basch.

Can anyone provide me with a nice pic of the "ring of pact"

I hate the one in the strategy guide!!!

(P.S. please don't link to gamefaqs since I can't load the site from work)
Thanks

Nope -- just the opposite for me. After playing Heroes of Mana, I had little hope for this game, but it's sucked me in. By Chapter 7 I was smitten.

 

[kazuki_pl]

Ohhh well :/ lucky you

cheers

Mydia was pretty easy, you just had to make sure not to concentrate your attacks on Mydia or else the bombs that get summoned will wipe out your party in a flash. I used all my summons towards Ramuh and Ixion's, since Shiva & Shivar are weak against fire. I wasn't really concentrated on weaknesses, just for strenght. Ramuh could deal a lot of damnage and Ixion's could take a lot of damage so they'd take some of the heat off my leaders.

Ugh I'm stuck at i think it is 6-5, i always capture all of the gates except one behind the judge, and when i try to capture it i always die:S. Any time i just go straight for the judge after closing the gate they spam healing espers and kill me

 

[lookout]

clocked this game at 97% (level 47)

 

[JacobReaper]

then again, ive been busy these passed weeks, but now i can play

akthough im playing Gunbound and Soldier Front a lot.. so that distracts me from DS playing

just to........ addicting

I haven't figured this out yet. How do I know which group leaders will get which espers I put in a troupe?

It's simple, really. Each of your leaders is a certain fighting type: melee, ranged or flying. Espers work the same way, so they'll generally be assigned to their relative leaders. The only exception I recall seeing is if you begin a mission without a certain type of Esper that perhaps doesn't fit a particular leader, then the game will assign them evenly to someone else. Like say your Esper selection doesn't include any melee monsters, someone like Vaan, who is a melee fighter, might get assigned some flying Espers instead. But any type of stat bonus that your leaders may have because of an equipped item will only affect the Espers assigned to them, and those bonuses are usually specific to the leader's fighting type. So, it usually pays to try to keep Espers assigned to relative leaders.

 

[mflo]

Oh I see. Thank you for the info, irpacynot.

 

[Sendoh]

Hmm. If I remember correctly, there's a longer version of the Game Over piano theme, I think it played around the end of Chapter 3 *spoilers*with Vaan and Penelo*Spoilers*. Anyone got any info on it?

 

[ksponge]

Didn't make it through even 3 missions of this. Completely boring.

I like a lot this game. I'm only in chapter 3 right now.

But there is something that I don't understand. The guy with me said that if I collect the materials he can make some cool weapons. I've collected some materials, and I found some recipe. But how can I make those powerfull items??

 

[Bourbanog]

Been playing the game a bit and I'm around the end of chapter 3. Awesome game so far, I hope it keeps going like this.

Yeah, that's actually only going to take place in a certain sequence. Look on the bulletin board (located on the bridge of your ship) for side quests. Many of those will entail retrieving materials. The regular materials that you find will be used to make items by a different character later in the game.

 

[laminaatplaat]

I'm now at 50% of the game and it is for the first time that i needed to buy some/craf some weapons and stuff to beat a mission. Also the first that i use the magic spells that are not automaticly cast

I love the game!

 

[test84]

three questions:

1) How did you beat Ultima? I beated her with a strategy I dont like that much and I was on last minute, whats the better strategy?

2) How you acquire those flowers on stage which their icon is a small apple on map screen? what are they?

3) How to control Esper summonations? When I put 1 level one and one level 2, I'll have tons of useless level one and just 2 of level two espers.
