DeadBankerDream 01/16/23 6:01:29 PM #27:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] I like the idea of tinkering with characters in something like the visual representation that is the Sphere Grid, but there has to be a reason for me to spend extra time on something so basic as leveling up. For the majority of the game's storyline there's no reason for level ups to not just be automatic stat gains like in FF4. The only choices you have is if you want to take a small branching path for 3 extra magic defense, which in any level of scheme of things is a minor choice that leaving up to me makes no actual difference. Just give Kimahri the option to reclass at level 10 and the need for the Sphere Grid is eliminated at least until roughly when you reach Mt. Gagazet. It needed to do more with the idea it had to truly make it worthwhile. At least it's not pretentious cancer completely designed to waste your time like the Crystarium in FF13. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:970888978] in Did you li...

DeadBankerDream 01/16/23 6:18:32 PM #29:	The crystarium is much slower to use than the sphere grid, it's much more rigid, it lacks a reasonable overview and it has even less choices to make. It forces you to level up stats you can't use. You can't choose to not waste EXP on ATK buffs for Hope even though he can't actually use physical attacks. Yes, they both "open up" near the end, but the Crystarium punishes you for walking off the highlighted path even then by making exp costs for walking off it prohibitively expensive. So effectly even though all jobs unlock at Pulse, you are effectively locked out of making functional use of the secondary jobs until the post game. And at least FFX has a post game that is worth playing in which you can fully utilize the Sphere Grid. 13's post game is grinding adamantoises or otherwise leveling up till you're strong enough to grind adamantoises. The Crystarium is worse than the Sphere Grid in every conceivable way. ~~The FFXIII-2 Crystarium is ace, though.~~ --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:970889321] in Did you li...

The crystarium is much slower to use than the sphere grid, it's much more rigid, it lacks a reasonable overview and it has even less choices to make. It forces you to level up stats you can't use. You can't choose to not waste EXP on ATK buffs for Hope even though he can't actually use physical attacks. Yes, they both "open up" near the end, but the Crystarium punishes you for walking off the highlighted path even then by making exp costs for walking off it prohibitively expensive. So effectly even though all jobs unlock at Pulse, you are effectively locked out of making functional use of the secondary jobs until the post game. And at least FFX has a post game that is worth playing in which you can fully utilize the Sphere Grid. 13's post game is grinding adamantoises or otherwise leveling up till you're strong enough to grind adamantoises. The Crystarium is worse than the Sphere Grid in every conceivable way. ~~The FFXIII-2 Crystarium is ace, though.~~ So, I agree with you that it was very rigid, but I can't agree that it was worse than the Sphere Grid in *every* way. The Sphere Grid, was sooo damn grindy in the post game. And adding that "Perfect Sphere Master" trophy in the HD Remaster was rude! --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:970890680] in Did you li...

PowerOats 01/16/23 7:23:23 PM #49:	I don't think I bothered with switching in everyone for battle. Tidus and Wakka maybe had a extra level or 3 but nothing too drastic. the RPS enemy types kept everyone in a nice rotation alone <cite>PowerOats posted [p:970890690] in Did you li...
