I have unfinished Bastion, unfinished Antichamber etc. I just like those games I guess. And I have friends wanting to play SC2 and D3 as well but I don't care as much for those. | ||

But they would be better if they actually need mana and/or can only cast basic spells instead of things like Holy, Flare, and Graviga. Also "Prime", lol. - Luso in FFT? That makes no sense whatsoever - JP grinding is a huge pain. - Debuffs last too long =/ - Raise miss chance is very painful. This might help, or it might be far too much information: + Show Spoiler [FFT Mathy Nonsense] + Raise's success chance is based on the Caster's Faith, the Target's Faith, and your Magic Attack. The exact equation is: Success% = [CFa/100 * TFa/100 * (MA + 180)] This is generally true for all spells. Characters with high Faith will do more damage with spells and land more spells, but will also take more damage from spells and be easier targets for spells. So if you want to whiff fewer Raises you need to increase your Faith and/or Magic Attack. Which is a grindy process in and of itself. Any temporary Faith or Brave buff/debuff will also confer a permanent increase/decrease of 1/5th the buff/debuff's value. So basically you take a Mediator (Orator in newer versions) and spam Praise at people all battle. Just don't go above 94 Faith or the character will leave you forever. One way to min/max is to have your frontline fighters be low faith so they take less damage from spells and evade more debuffs, and to use a Chemist instead of a White Mage since items aren't affected by Faith. It's more expensive but it saves a lot of headaches. | ||

Mediator has an ability that lowers Faith, so you can just use that once at the end of every few battles to curtail Faith growth. The game warns you of the possibility of them leaving once you're at 85 or higher, so it should never catch you by surprise barring some ridiculous unnecessary Preach spamming. Also, Ramza is an obvious exception--the game would make no sense if he left so his Faith can go higher than 94. | ||

Here's some guys from the venue : https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/3kdpg8/esl_esea_dubai_is_a_joke_stage_picture_inside/ They got guys casting the event from home because it's too hot for the players to play during the day and none of the people that bought could go watch the games live because the venue isn't open yet. God ESL must fucking vanish. They've been shit for so long it's amazing. You should hear about SBO. Was once the most prestigious fighting game tournament in Japan, but as more tournaments in Japan started gaining traction, it was declining in numbers and quality. The final straw was when, for whatever reason, they decided to hold the tournament outdoors in hot summer weather, where the arcade cabinets were shit/laggy, the weather was almost unbearably hot, the sun would cause the screens to glare, and players even said there were cockroaches in the cabinets. A lot of the japanese players and a few foreigners (Justin Wong) just said fuqq it, and started daydrinking the day of the competition haha. | ||

I guess this also means I can shape any character into my desired form with the correct amount of Bravery and Faith. I tried so hard to recruit the units with the highest stats possible. | ||

I wonder why people are so incompetent that have been doing this for so many years. ESL even blame everyone else for their faults which makes it worse. They say the issues of the heat and it being an outdoor event caused the problems as if it wasn't their choice to make this an outdoor event during summer in Dubai and they had no idea heat could be an issue rofl. Then the format is absolutely awful, worse than Riots formats lol. I don't know if you heard about the Gaming Paradise stuff? Seems amazing to have two terribly run events in one week. | ||

TheYango is correct that it's permanent Faith. FFT has a lot in common with SSB:M. There's a ton of mechanics the game will simply never explain to you because they simply aren't necessary to enjoy the game, but if you love the game you can go down the rabbit hole for ages. You can, without hacking the game, max out all your stats (not just Brave/Faith, though the mechanism is different for other stats) if you're patient and know what you're doing. Legend of Mana is similar. The tempering system in that game was so complex that someone had to translate a Japanese strategy guide to understand what the hell was going on. | ||

Is the faith/bravery affected (permanentely) by other things than debuffs? I know nothing of the sort but your post's wording seems to imply it's the case. | ||

I mostly remember HP being affected by equipment so you actually get most tankiness from loot (and being a friggin' monk with low faith). Is the faith/bravery affected (permanentely) by other things than debuffs? I know nothing of the sort but your post's wording seems to imply it's the case. Basically yes, with the added catch that there's a trap in the game that lets you lose levels in classes, so what you do is you intentionally trigger the trap to level down in classes with bad growths after you've learned their abilities, then gain levels in classes with good growths. It's tedious and unnecessary and actually much more effort than it's worth for actually beating the game. It's main purpose is for the novelty of having a statistically optimized character with 999/99s in everything | ||

Image editing is not my forte, but I feel like I could really use it for D&D maps if I figured it out. Best hint I can give you about Gimp for D&D maps: "1 in." in Roll20 is 70px x 70px. So always make your file dimensions multiples of 70px and setup a grid so that it is 70px squares. You can make a perfect dungeon map for online play this way (and this is, in fact, how I made the library maps). What I want to try my hand at is pixel art. phyvo's Iris sprites make me so jelly and I'm tried of paying for more sprite packs, especially when they don't have the monsters I want because I made them up. | ||

It's like something I'd do if I was going out anyway and just check if something was nearby, but I wouldn't be all "today I'm going to drive 10 miles out of my way to catch a Pokemon!" or "Bye sweetie I'm going to go walk around the park for 3 hours to play Pokemon!" I guess it's a neat idea to get kids outside, though. | ||

The only thing that seems weird to me is why anyone would ever buy the physical hardware over the phone app. Nintendo is developing a companion smartwatch device called Pokémon Go Plus, designed to help you take part in the game's world without having to stare at your phone all day. Pretty sure that tons of people already have no problem staring at their phones all day anyway, especially the kinds of people who would play this.

I guess it's a neat idea to get kids outside, though. It's a mobile game, it doesn't need to be designed for dedicated play time. They just need to find the right way to monetize it to actually make money--the concept itself is perfect for the mobile gaming audience. | ||

I still laugh about when they said you can continue your play session on the controller if someone else came home to take over the TV. Seriously wtf Nintendo. | ||
