Official Final Fantasy XII thread (likely spoilers inside)

Finally decided to go ahead and beat the game, was so overpowered from doing sidequests I let gambits do all the work.

It seems that everytime I progress about 3 hrs into the story I end up spending another 3 hrs chaining somewhere for gil and EXP. Now that Im at Feywood and can make 250,000 girl in about 40 mins chaining mirror knights I think I found my final spot!

im 73 hours in now. found the hell wyrm, no way can you beat him unless your uber uber.. haha, he whooped me bad. anyways, im now in pharos, ugh, this part is really long

I hate how unless you look at a guide you will miss a lot of good equipment. It makes me sick how much I've missed trying to do side quests without help.

Not just that, make sure you get a Diamond Armlet before doing side dungeons. Also make sure to steal from rare monsters.

Put a Thief Cuff on someone and set a gambit for stealing. Set the guy up to steal from Foes HP=100%. That works pretty well, although he'll keep stealing from the same creature over and over if no one attacks the creature, so setting gambits to attack Foes HP=100% on other players before their usual attack helps.

Yeah, I always have Vaan steal with the 100% gambit. If I'm fighting 3 or more critters, I'll just cast one of the black AOE magicks to knock off a little damage off all of them so Vaan doesn't keep trying to steal from the same guy over and over. Pisses me off that there isn't a gambit for Already Stole From or something like that.

thanks dudes, will do, gotta get used to using gambits again cause lately all ive been doing is chaining quickenings on anything that puts up a fight
