    That esper kill was a pain in the ass. Took like 5 extra turns using Cecil and refia to get it low enough to kill it. Thankfully chizuru decided not to counter kill it. Those knuckles any good?

    Glad he helped! Grats on getting them done. I skipped the 5 calamity gem mission today because I failed it three times, each time the summon FMV would play but then the actual attack effect just wouldn't fire. I guess I'm going a second too late, but 45 energy down the drain trying to time it right was enough for today.

    Ended up just firing off the esper a second or two before my killing blow and got the gems but yeah it's really fucky. 'Luckily the only "kill with an esper" objective left only gives 5 normal magicites, so...


    Forced to do Day 3's ADV twice since one objective is do 5 limit bursts and another is Use 0 Limit Bursts

    Force closing your client to restart your turn helps immensely to ensure you complete "Kill X with LB/Esper/Item/Magic" requirements. I used it quite often farming the lapis from story missions and previous trials/events. You can also restart the enemies turn to try and bait attacks onto certain units.

    I haven't seen it posted prominently anywhere, but ran across a comment on reddit that you can use barrage when trying to get those "kill with" challenges. Theoretically, anything that comes after "overkill" should count. Noctis' barrage takes 8 years. So queue it up, and then just unload all your shit after the 2nd or 3rd strike causes "overkill" to pop up. In theory (I haven't personally tried it), this should be pretty easy.

    It's worth mentioning that force-closing like this got people banned in Japan.

    I haven't been able to force close on the Nian fights. It kept starting the fight over for me. I used to do it flawlessly over time but lately it just doesn't work.

    After complaining earlier about my pulls, I decided to do 1 ticket pull to reward myself for a good run this morning, and out popped a Ling. Yay!

    What the shitting fuck lol.

    Todays 10 Stamina dungeon has "Use 5 or more Limit Bursts" and "Use no limit bursts" as objectives.

    Edit: Also, Megacrysts only seem to come from the first point in the house back yard, and the last point next to the boss... or am I crazy?

    Megacrysts seem to appear the same way to me, although I did once get a Water Megacryst from the point near the first stairs, so either they're rare as shit or i'm just going crazy.

    All I have heard is people getting banned for using it in Enchanted Maze for perfect runs every time. I've been using it for a couple months now and considering people are still injecting TMs, I doubt Gumi cares. If they did, they would make it like Arena when the game crashes and you get an automatic loss.

    I abused the piss out of force closing on the Maxwell event to bug her AI; literally spent an hour and a half cheesing the fuck out of her so I could get all the medal conditions.

    I've tried twice to go for the esper kill on Nian and failed both times. I get the feeling I'm going to try the force close trick; I didn't even think about using it on this fight.

    Dunno how true it is, but I'll toss Barrage on my Noctis anyways. Already cleared today's missions or I'd give it a go and see.

    How many dual wields is enough? I think I read 3 a while back, but considering I am one trust moogle away from a genji glove, run Lightning (and sadly don't have Luneth), I'm trying to get organized to start TM farming, and want to start sorting my units. Already have 2 Ludmilles, Chizuru and Miyuki in the running, and have 6 Zidanes and some other good stuff.

    I have 4 dualwield, 2 genji gloves. Saves me from having to move gear around as much. I have 2 DC and need 1 or 2 more for the same reason.

    Just tried this. Did the PRO exploration. Used 4 party members to get Nyan to around 10%, then activated barrage on noctis. Somewhere around the 3rd hit, it died. Next was overkill. Cecil used stone sometime after that (barrage takes forever). Got credit for kill. New strat ftw!

    Between a series of crap pulls (going on a few weeks now) non-working events (aquapolis won't even run and I have to turn off all effects to get through Nian) and constantly crashing in the arena...I've been getting fairly frustrated with the game lately.

    I decided to go for a change of pace and went after some of the Trial bosses. Beat Antenolla with little issue, tore through the 2 headed dragon with the wrong team then went after the march of beasts. I used an 800 friend Noctis, got all the way to the Wyvern/Abhorrent One fight pretty easily and got them both down to 30% HP.

    ...then the status effects wore off the Abhorrent One and they one shot half my team. After that it was over. It was a fun fight, but it seems my damage dealing is just too low.

    Also, the Great Nyan Beast just kicks my ass
