I want to see some MC2's for some core characters other than Tyro. I saw them showing up in some later Cid's Missions, and if they are gonna make us use them the least they could do is unlock some 80 caps for them considering how low their base stats are.
Questions:
Question 1: Which abilities are worth having more than one of? I personally have duplicates of Double Cut, Retaliation, and Curaga, but that is pretty much it.
Question 2: Which abilities are 'worth it'? Here are my notes so far -
1* Abilities: Sleep, Poison, Boost
These are worthwhile as there are not improved versions higher up the food chain. While there is "Venom attack" which can also give the Poison effect, that is a support ability and not a Black Magic- Black Magic works off magic and is easier to maximize.
2* Abilities: Double Cut, Retaliate
Both of these are for Reta-type schemes. Note that eventually you can use the 3* Tempo Flurry for an upgrade to Double cut.
Are any other 1* or 2* abilities worth making?
Similarly, are there any 4* or 5* ones that people shouldn't bother with? (Does anyone want my notes on 3* Abilities?)
Lifesiphon is your friend for pretty much any Melee strat, because it fills you Soul Break guage faster. I generally do not bother with Ninja/Samurai abilities because I do not have any good users. I like Dismissal a lot as well, but sometimes mobs are immune and so a Lifesiphon is going to be better. it's generally going to depend on your party makeup and Soul Breaks.

theres nothing to maximize, status effects are a set % of activation. 99% of the time if you need a status effect the best way to do it is via a Machinist shot or a Buster ability, this includes Sleep too.
Anyone else want General Leo from VI? He was neat.
VI is already too bloated.
That's because VI in general had 14 playable characters. Which is more than any other FF to date.
Leo wasn't even a legit character and we don't even have the full cast yet. Where's Umaro and Gogo! :D
Actually if they relaxed Umaro he would probably be some form of monk character and Gogo would probably be like Tyro except since he wouldn't have core stats since he's a main character he would probably have 4* everything instead of 5* everything.

Also, when using a magic type debuff you are wasting a DPS slot. Once you land the status effect, that slot is wasted. Buster and Shot moves at least keep on doing damage with repeated use. There are some exceptions, like if you need to do the sleep/nuke start with a Mage party.
So the Multiplayer beta is out in the JP version and it's pretty cool! (all dungeons are available in single player mode too)
All dungeons thus far are 0 stamina, 100 gil rewards.
You are allowed to select 2 of your own party members alongside 3 other players, granting a max party size of 8 members. There are little stamps you can select during battle to use for communication with others (but mostly Yabai...)
That all said it's way harder to win in multiplayer mode because communication and coordination is still really difficult (do you know how many times my Ramza and the other Ramza would use Shout on the same turn? THREE TIMES)
I have Ifrit/Shiva/Ramuh @R3, Valefor @r4 and Fat Chocobo @r3. I plan to give the boss a try though I'm more concerned with the fat lewts from the preceding dungeons than Neo Bahamut.

This one guy uses Tyro with Phantasm to deal some good dmg. I can get Alexander and Valefor both to r4 but Gil is preventing me from doing so. But Maduin r4 isn't going to be possible for me :/
RD lets him get 5* in Black magic, White magic, Combat, Celerity, Support, and Ninja. His stats end up becoming nearly the highest in each category. He is by and far the strongest character in the game even before considering that he has the strongest BSB and a very powerful SSB.
Just like the original Onion Knight. complete and utter garbage until lv90, then he learns every skill, gets to wear every equipment, and gets more stats than any other job in FF3!
Also he is the 2nd character ever that can use Tyro's books.
For anyone who doesn't know:
BSSB - 30%ATK+MAG up for party, Hastega, Burst Comm1: 4 hit physical attack + next physical ability is instant cast, Burst Comm2: 4 hit magical attack + next magical ability is instant cast
This ultimate dream stooges was sooo annoying. Wasn't hard but killing them so they don't arise was a pain because one or two always had shell on him.
On a brighter note my mage team stood up to an ultimate. Didn't even use SG used cyclone grimoire instead. Phantasm rocked too was doing between 4-5kish with no synergy gear.
Caius Ballad hits like a mofo. I had lots of issues against him.
Detestable boss.
Yeah Caius Ballad's second phase is a ***. You really have to have SG and medica go off at 55% in anticipation he'll spam the worst. I found most his attacks to be magic he rarely used physical attacks on me. I wish I had native DG for that fight.
Started playing a few days ago under the suggestion from a linkshell mate. The game is definitely nostalgic, & I am having a blast. It's for iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Currently trying to complete these timed events.
Any one else loving the global release of this game? It's been out in Japan for some time. We finally get in on the goodies
