I searched and couldn't find the old thread so I'm guessing it's gone.
I'm taking on my second play through of Final Fantasy XII now, just got past Barheim Pasage. I'm taking it a lot more extreme this time around, taking more time to grind EXP, LP and loot. I already had a pretty decent save file, level 71's to show, but after dropping the game when I completed it, I found all the abilities I had a bit over whelming and felt I couldn't enjoy experimenting with the Gambit system on a deeper level properly... So I opted to go through the game again... With my past experience I should be able to abuse it a lot better.
One thing I'm finding difficult is working Steal into my Gambits. I'm a right theif in that game, it has to be done, but I'm a bit bored of stealing from everything manually. I found that the enemies have a tendency to give you two items when using steal, as opposed to the common one from killing. I realised this as I noticed stealing off enemies untill it said "such and such has nothing to steal," but would still get a drop off the kill. It's worth it sometimes though as for me, that loss of one hit isn't so dramatic when doing simple grinding.
I guess my main focus this time around is experimenting with the Gambits more, as opposed to simply over leveling my characters. I already have a few Technicks ideas that I didn't think of last time around. Infuse + Steel Gourget + DPS + Pheonix Down x n = sounds like a win to me...
Any ideas you think would be good to mess around with?
Use this thread to talk about the Final Fantasy series...
