Congrats on being the first re-master, ChronoGear!
AngeloLeonhart 24 Apr 2023 22:41
Need help on the Shooting Edea 50 times thing. I believe I need Fast Ammo for that, but how can I get it without Ammo-RF?
Hdot12 24 Apr 2023 22:52
You need Ammo-RF afaik so take your time to level up Ifrit..
AngeloLeonhart 24 Apr 2023 22:54
That contradicts Junction Mastery, which I can't level any GF... the whole set goes in contradiction so anyway
Hdot12 24 Apr 2023 23:27
I wasn't aware you still need to do that. In that case save on a different file, do the Shooting achievement and reload the old save?
AngeloLeonhart 24 Apr 2023 23:28
I'll have to do that. Luckly I can farm on the sewers, cuz I'm right before this battle.
AngeloLeonhart 25 Apr 2023 00:02
It seems I can only get 50 shots if I'm at Crisis Level 4, but I don't think it's possible to get Aura on Disc 1. So lemme guess, pure RNG?
taterz 25 Apr 2023 04:15
Card Mod: GIM47N (1=10) for Fast Ammo. have you tried with a turbo button?
AngeloLeonhart 25 Apr 2023 05:29
I managed to do it, thanks y'all. I had to upgrade Ifrit and get Ammo RF, I only had 4 GIM47N cards and the point I was I couldn't go back to play cards.
AngeloLeonhart 26 Apr 2023 04:39
Need some help on Missile Base, against the 2x Base Soldiers and Base Leader, right before BGH251F2. Is there a way to not get EXP on that fight? I need to have at least one GF Junctioned so I can Scan them.
Xxoniike 26 Apr 2023 06:27
Unfortunately not, this fight is the only one in the game where EXP is obliged.
taterz 26 Apr 2023 16:05
you could hope to get lucky with Selphie and Break
rlxldk 26 Apr 2023 18:46
Base leader immune to stone
AngeloLeonhart 1 May 2023 02:49
Again, dropping this set for an undetermined time. Lost scanning Odin and my backup save is at the end os Disc 1.
I still can't get over the fact that this set ruined one of my favorite games ever. The set contradicts itself in MANY ways, and some of the stuff there are simply NOT FUN and requires a whole amount of luck and will FRY your brain to get it.
I don't reccomend this set to anyone.
FBernkastelKues 1 May 2023 04:03
Other than the two Lionheart achievements and the NLU achievement what achievements do you think contradict each other? I get that missing a missable scan is annoying but that's really just standard completionist stuff, you don't even have to redo that much. It's definitely better than the FFX treasure chest achievements which forced me to redo the beginning of the game 4 times before someone compiled a list.
AngeloLeonhart 1 May 2023 04:57
I'll agree with you on FFX, that's really annoying too. And I also apologize if I sounded rude, criticisism were on the set only, frustration made me rage a little.

I felt some contradiction on things like, just one example, the Irvine shoot achievement, that you're kinda forced to level Ifrit to get Ammo-RF if by the way you don't have at least 5 GIM47N cards to mod, or completing the 30 wrintten tests which kinda forces you to level up, all that while having the Junction Mastery and stuff.

But again, I just got extremely frustrated and rage took over me when I wrote that. My apologies.
williamgeesdorf 1 May 2023 09:18
It would be contradictory if you could only play the set one time. You aren't obliged to get everything and Junction Mastery in one run.
rlxldk 1 May 2023 21:13
I've done all set in one NJNL run, just do more saves and rerun some segments, like 600 seed test, or obtain leonheart or obtain Odin and etc
williamgeesdorf 1 May 2023 21:48
Yeah, it's possible to do everything in one run but i imagine it can be very annoying. You already have to keep track of many things like scans, missables and backup saves, then you're also adding No Level into the equation. Personally, i will leave that for another run.
williamgeesdorf 9 May 2023 00:54
Mastered (platinado)! Finally my "master all main FFs from 1 to 9" project is over, finishing things off with the first RPG i've ever played. Even though the set is in a much better state imo, i think there's still room for improvement like simple progression cheevos for all major events and now that specific boss challenges were added, there could be one for every boss.
