I seem to recall the strategy guide saying you should kill G and take his crystal for sweet abilities. Every time I'd try and then be like "wtf strategy guide, you lied to me!" If only I could overcome my aversion to writing in books, I'd have made a note to myself about that long long ago...

As I mentioned, Knight Swords are an exception, as are certain stat boosting weapons, but I guess my point was that in some cases, Two Hands can be as effective, if not more. Also, the whole 120 JP Axe skill I chalk up to random programmig error. The WP thing doesn't really work, else why would tossing Dictionaries cost the same as tossing Knight Swords? - Eddie |

I wish there were more special battles like this one, mainly because it's hilarious to cheat your way around the wall by over-preparing with stuff like Fly.

Oh, because I was in a hurry with my last response:
Two Swords doubles your Weapon Power, not PA, thus the equation I wrote above is technically wrong (although the result would be the same). And, because after reflection (and a nice Turkey Dinner) I probably was too harsh on Two Swords. Two Swords is also superior for bare-handed combat, or with the Knight's "Battle Skill", as it triggers each instance of the break twice. - Eddie |

For what it's worth on the translation issue with names- in English, using L's instead of R's just seems to make more sense. None of those names with translation issues that use R's sound very good when said out loud. So... Luveria and Omdolia. It's up to you, but it really doesn't sound right to me as Ruveria and Omdoria.

Also, Two Swords is the only way to get past Blade Grasp. Even if the target can block the first hit, the second one will always connect. On the other hand, another downside to Two Swords is that, if the first hit has knockback, the second swing will be useless.
How does Two Swords affect (if it even does) the damage output for Holy Sword, Mighty Sword, and Swordskill abilities? |

I just wanted you to know, Eddie, that I never intended to ever play this game again until reading your LP. Now I've gone and put it on my Christmas list. SO THANKS FOR THAT.

Two-hands is good for weapons that can't be dual wielded (lances, sticks), or if you don't have a second weapon that matches the firsts WP (not common), or if you are too cheap or lazy to get a second weapon.
I'd say two-swords is better more often, and better overall. Quote:

Scarcity of weapons is usually the only reason to use Two Hands over Two Swords (or Gauntlet over Genji Glove, etc.). I had thought that maybe the second Two Swords attack was weakened or something, I'm sure I've seen that somewhere.... That one's easy enough: Dictionaries are easier to come by. I agree that it's probably an oversight, though. There are plenty of other oddities to back this up. |

I don't think the second Two Swords attack is weakened, although like Coinspinner said the target will always be facing you on the second swing. |

Also, I believe they only turn to face you when you hit. |

The opposite actually. They won't turn if you hit them, but they turn if they block or evade in any way.

Every time I play this battle I have Ramza take out Gafgarion solo. It just feels right that way.
Also, the next battle ranks among my favorites in all of videogames. |

Phew! Holidays! So things happened over the holidays...
I'm going to try and have a good update done for you guys in the next few days. I tried to record a video for the last fight in the chapter, and the results were somewhat mixed. I'm still flipping on whether to re-record it or not, without taking screenshots. Regardless, have a Happy New Year, and thanks for giving this poor man over 30k views! - Eddie |

Happy New Year...
ulillillia made an FFT video?! :O |

This is the best New Years' present ever!
EXCEPT FOR THIS. |

Nice video Eddie! Man, that boss sure went down like a chump!
As long as I'm posting - everybody, drop in for AlphaWolf's streaming FFT LP if you have the chance. |

I can finally watch, now that I've passed you in the game!
You forgot a good point about ol' Gaffy. Ramza can easily Chakra every turn to nullify his Night Sword :P Incindentally, my Cu Chullain ran away while casting Nightmare. But it was still over within a couple of punches and summons! |

Why is this a big deal? I watched it and he just thinks typos are bugs.

#658

|

I've done some New Years drinking and I think I'm going to go with my gut and re-record the fight. At the very least the comments I made in it are distracting!
So expect a new round of the fight in the next few days! - Eddie |

That particular video is nothing special. But look him up and browse his videos, he's a crazy dude.

Oh damn, I totally forgot about the monster battle. If it isn't too late...
1. Chocobo 2. Great Morbol 3. Woodman If it is, then don't worry about it. |
