Weekly /r/FinalFantasy Question Thread – Week of May 17, 2021

In Final Fantasy V, each job has a bonus or penalty to every stat. This is applied to the character when they are in that job, but it doesn't not affect their growth when they level-up. Because of that, the characters' final stats are not affected by what jobs they are in when they raise a level.

It's worth noting that when you master a job, the stat bonuses (but not the stat penalties) for that job are given to the character's Freelancer job. If you master multiple jobs, only the job with the highest bonuses in each stat are applied, but you can boost the Freelancer's stats this way. The best stat bonuses are Monk or Gladiator for Strength (+26), Thief for Agility (+16), Monk for Stamina (+26), and Oracle for Magic (+36).

Steam out of those two. It looks considerably better than it did on PSP and it's actually localized, whereas the PSP version was only ever released in Japan

They're the same apart from the language. You should get the one you prefer, though I will say that the English localization and voice acting are really good

Being in zombie status makes you immune to death, if that helps. If you don't have any Deathproof armour make sure to keep at least one character in that status alive and prioritise reviving over healing.

Would also add that you should optimise your use of Aeons. Get Yuna and each Aeon into overdrive beforehand. You can wipe out some of her stages fast, before serious damage comes your way, with swift use of Aeon overdrives.

I highly doubt that FFVIIR is ever gonna come to the Switch. They squeezed everything they could out of the PS4 to make it work on that console.

I don’t think it will ever come to Switch. Square Enix likes to push graphical limits when it comes to Final Fantasy. So newer FF games tend to only come out on consoles with solid hardware. Give it a few more years before FFVII remake gets released on a Nintendo console (likely one more powerful than the Switch but still behind the latest PS/Xbox)

Originally announced in 2017, and then again in 2019 and 2020, with no serious updates or gameplay screen shots since then. I'm kind of assuming that Squareenix licensed the IP to the Chinese company (GAEA), and when and if any sort of actual product comes out is anybody's guess. Squareenix itself cancelled DLC related to FF15, so I think they're done developing on it themselves.

There's not many connections between the two due to Tactics being set very, very long after XII. Some of the Espers in XII appear in Tactics in a different role and there's a person with the same last name as Balthier, but that's pretty much it. I don't think they marketed XII as a prequel either. It just happens to be set in the same world.

You should still play Tactics because it's a very good game, but it's not at all required before XII

XII and Tactics have pretty much nothing to do with each other other than both taking place in a world called "Ivalice". XII's setting is based far more on Tactics Advance than the original Tactics, and even then, the stories have nothing to do with each other.

Though if you ever intend to play Tactics A2, then XII and Tactics Advance should both be played beforehand for story reasons.

Not a stupid question, don't worry.

The free trial has no play time restriction and is up to level 60/the first expansion (but it has other limitations like not being able to trade or join free companies).

The 30 days on Steam is referring to the free time you get once you buy the game/starter edition. After those 30 days you have to buy a subscription.

To break the damage limit for the other Aeons you have to fully power certain characters ultimate weapons

Fully powered Nirvana = Valefor

Wakka = Ifrit

Kimhari = Ixion

Lulu = Shiva

huh?

I've never heard of that kind of behavior, and the bugs and glitches page on the FF Wiki doesn't really have anything that matches your description. So, my assumption would be that you were mistaken about the items you got from combat, or, you used them at some point and forgot that you used them.

Should be. Here's how to activate everything except the ones from menu (max Gil etc. that you can't really toggle off)

F1 - Toggles between normal speed, 2x speed and 4x speed, doesn't affect menus or cutscenes

F2 - Supercharge characters

F3 - Increases or decreases enemy encounter rate

F4 - Auto-battle

F5 - Toggles the HUD off/on

I haven't used these myself but these should be the right ones.
