  • The Magus Sisters can be really annoying...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>They don't do what their told most of the time, and the fact that their commands aren't always available is really annoying. I have yet to see the Overdrive ability for them, because while the OD bar is full on all three, that "Combine Powers" command never shows up. Is there any way of getting them to do their things? If I say Help Out, that doesn't mean attack. That means the bitch should fucking HEAL!

There's supposed to be a compatibility bar somewhere. Where is that?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Oh, yeah...just Quick Hit for 99999. Nevermind that you need Strength at 255 with a Break Dmg Limit weapon and an armor with One MP Cost to do that. Even then, it's still hard to hit for 99999 with a character.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Might not be 99999 but it's sufficent for most things you're fighting.

I never made a weapon with One MP. Even on Nemesis, as long as you're hitting 99999 each hit you'll kill him before your MP drops below around the 400 range, assuming everyone has 999 MP a piece.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Getting people to hit 99999 came somewhere between the 30 and 100. I wasted a lot of time doing Blitzball for Wakka's final weapon and capturing 10 of everything to fight Nemesis though. I didn't find the celestial weapons that hard to get, and leveling up is easy once you can kill One Eye so you can make some Drive->AP weapons with Triple AP/Triple Overdrive mods. Even if you have just Drive->AP, you can get about 300K AP with Stoic/Ally settings when fighting King Cactuar.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>HP is annoying because the boss version of Iron Giant takes so long to kill even when you can hit him for 99999 with ease due to his counter (and his defense is high enough that multi-hit limit break won't do significantly more damage, even with maxed out strength/magic). Besides, it's hard to get an armor with Break HP limit and other useful stats. Luck is another hard one because Greater Sphere takes a long time to die and it also seems like the better luck you have the more likely you end up getting Dark Matters instead of Luck/Fortune Spheres.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>like it's hard to level up when you do the AP-exp trick when fighting the big Cactaur. You can get your char's up to 255 ST in under 40 minutes.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I know about that. The hard part is getting the spheres for it. (Both regular and stat spheres for the empty spots.)</div>
