FFXII International

Did FF9/10 even have Ultima? The last one I remember is FF8's.

[Elcura]

9 and 10 did. 9 couldn't be used by your party though, Trance Kuja used it as a way to pretty much end the fight (twice iirc). 10 it was normal magic obtainable by everyone.

[Exoduso]

Hm yeah you're right Trance Kuja did use it, but only once the battle is over (which KOs your entire party, then leads to the next cutscene right before the "hi guyz!" fight with Necron..)

As far as FFX goes I still have a hard time remembering it, but it's towards the end of Lulu's area on the sphere grid right? (with all the other high-end spells like Flare etc.) .. I'm pretty sure I remember an enemy in the path to Zanarkand/Zanarkand Ruins using Ultima on me (one of the flans?)

After i got "damage breaker" and started hitting for like 30,000 on a normal hit, i stopped casting magic.

Yeah, it should be right at the end of Lulu's path. Lots of enemies cast it, Flans are one of the more common ones to cast it. Nemesis also casts it a lot too.

IIRC Ultima in FFX was in the central portion of the sphere grid, very near to where Khimari starts out.

But blocked via a lv4 lock or something wasn't it?

[Charla]

4 level 4 locks, 3 of which you have to open to get it.

Wow, ASCII art is harder than it looks. And apparently I'm the biggest dork in the thread.

edit: Ultima in 12 got turned into an optional esper, which was both cool and lame at the same time. The reverse effect on holyja made it an interesting fight, but she's just as useless as the rest of the espers when you get her. The limit break is pretty at least.

[Exoduso]

Ahhhh I remember it.

And yeah, too bad FF12 espers suck ass, cus Exodus(Exdeath) was pretty awesome.

I kind of just viewed the espers as a fun toy for beauty, where the best part of them was the fight to get them. Some were a joke, but some were fucking insane (due to my lvl at the time and just being hard). Accidently walking into an esper fight will always wake you up, especially when your running from a train of killer mobs in the first place.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, run run, like 40 mobs are chasing me.
Whew, a zone.
Wow a Cutscene.

Oh shit.

Yeah, Espers totally aren't worth it at all. In my file whoever is holding the tournesol just multihits a shitload of times for 9999 or close to it, ashe nukes anything that moves for 9999, and my tank-like guy just hits for about 7000 or so. Why would I switch all of that out so that Ultima can come in cast holyja at the end of her little rampage for 9999?

[sephir]

at least they were fun fights. Totally useless and mostly unecessary, but fun.

[Niiro]

Espers were only good for stealing High Arcana from and getting the Empyreal Soul and Gem Steel from Montblanc.

(I think those were the things he gave you, been a while)

Looks like I need to sign up to do anything and the registration limit is hit. Anyone want to lend me their info? :D

[Tekki]

So let me get this straight. The JP version of this game has JP menu and commands with an English title screen and C/Ss?

Does the EU version have English menus/CS/commands?

Im wanting to play this game but do not understand Japanese at all... Am I SOL?

Need ultima against that giant ooze mobs in arena that drop +4magic sphere thing. Well, dunno if there was faster strategy, but casting ultima 10 times was the best I found.

Yes, you are.

FFX-International only has an English option because supposedly the international version was also released in Europe because the original X wasn't released there, so they went ahead and just gave them the international version. (Kinda like how we in the US got the Director's Cut version of SO3, after all those freaking delays)

So, it's not happening. At least any time soon.

[Cesaria]

Yup Europe got the international FFX cos we got shafted and had to wait like forever for it to come out over here - so they figured they may as well throw in the other stuff (like dark aeons that pop up and eat you when you're innocently collecting stuff for the monster arena... I wondered why my boyfriend was smirking when I took that turning - git).
