| IIRC, there was not a save point to be found, we got a ways past the pirates, and then something totaly OWNED us and we had to start...pretty much from somewhere near the beginning. So we just said screw it ._. | |||

| Chances are you wandered to somewhere non-safe, and I can think of a few places where you'd get your ass kicked...
If there wasn't a save point, you were in the wrong place; the Wind Shrine had one about halfway to the boss (which was just a big bird) Edit: You couldn't even get around the save point room, it was directly in your path. (edited by Thexare on 11-23-06 02:22 PM) |

And isn't that the case in most FF games? The first time you encounter a save point, it's pretty blatantly obvious?  |

| Also as in every FF game, the entire overworld is a giant save point.
Additionally, there really isn't anywhere 'unsafe' you can go that early in the game. Or anywhere at all that you're not supposed to, for that matter. The only possibility I can think of is that you may have landed your ship on the stretch of land north of the canal, which I'll admit can be a little bit dangerous if you just started, but it would still only take you about four/five minutes to get back to that point. |

I took a break from messing with the savefile, but once I reached World 3 and got around to messing with it again. Behold!
X and Y, you might've had a bad dump of the ROM or something. The first real time where you can get owned by something absurdly strong is Worus/Walse/Walz, which is not the beginning at all. On another note, those places are quite easy if you're properly prepared (e.g. Berserkers can cut through Jackanapes' defense with a little luck, and you could also use Level 5 Death. Skull Eaters are dead to Geomancery.). |

Kailieann Since: 11-18-05 Last post: 6322 days Last view: 6322 days |

| Yes, I was going to mention that there's nothing specifically dangerous before Worus, but seeing as they never got that far, I figured they wouldn't have cared too much. | |||

| All I can really remember is some sort of gate on a river, going through it, whirlpool, near-instant death.
And yes, the total lack of a save point that undid quite a bit of work. |

Kailieann Since: 11-18-05 Last post: 6322 days Last view: 6322 days |

| Yes, that would be the second boss. Which, see above, re: not getting to the first boss without a save point, and also re: the entire overworld being a save point.
Save Early Save Often! |

| I was thinking maybe you ran into a bandersnatch on the overworld; if you're not careful, two of those can take out your whole party pretty easily right at the beginning.
But you couldn't have gotten to the canal that fast... you need a key.  (edited by Thexare on 11-24-06 12:48 AM) |

| We had a key.
I don't know where we got it, but we had one. |

| If you didn't clear the tower, first, then asdf's theory of a glitched ROM is probably accurate. | |||

| Is it bad if I couldn't beat Shiva right away?
Once I buy Fire 2 and stuff, I plan to go back there and fight her ... |

asdf Link's Awakening ಠ_ಠ Since: 11-18-05 Last post: 6324 days Last view: 6322 days |

Not really, Xeo - that part is quite tricky unless you've powerleveled. It's probably better that you do get Fire 2 before fighting her - makes life easier.  |
|||

Kailieann Since: 11-18-05 Last post: 6322 days Last view: 6322 days |

| Shiva is tough. I don't think I've ever beaten her without a bit of luck manipulation.
But only because I'm too lazy to powerlevel that early, and don't want to just move forward and then come back later. Although, it's not as if I ever cast Shiva, so I guess in theory I could just skip her entirely next time. |

Ten Flurry Since: 12-09-05 From: Denver Last post: 6329 days Last view: 6323 days |
| ||
| No! You must not skip her! If you don't get her in time, that one thing happens to her, that one thing I can't specify because it's a spoiler! Do you want spoiler action to happen to Shiva!?
Also, I'm not sure if this is trun in the GBA version but steal from her men, they have nifty swords. |

| I'm up to the second two... uh... stone tablet things, whatever they were called.
Bartz, L35 Freelancer w/ !Lance, !Blue Enhancer/Aegis Shield/Gold Hairpin/Black Robe/Protect Ring Mastered Jobs: Samurai, Blue Mage Lenna, L34 Dancer w/ !Black L6 Chicken Knife/Ribbon/Rainbow Dress/Red Slippers Mastered Jobs: None (Level 6 White, Black, Time Mage) Galuf*, L35 Ranger w/ !Smoke (I hate those things in the trench.) Artemis Bow/Twist Headband/Black Garb/Kaiser Knuckles Mastered Jobs: Mystic Knight Faris, L35 Ninja w/ Light Step (I hate those lava floors in the trench.) Sasuke's Katana/Assassin's Dagger/Black Cowl/Black Garb/Protect Ring Mastered Jobs: Thief, Geomancer. Summoner level 5. I have Masamune, Sage's Staff, Magus Rod, and Yoichi's Bow, and Faris will probably get Masamune when she's done mastering a few more jobs (Ninja and Summoner). Artemis Bow is stronger, though, so I now have no use for that damned Yoichi's Bow. Lenna will probably be using the Magus Rod and Sage's Staff as a Mime once I get Ninja mastered for her. I killed a few bosses without getting much help from Magic Sword... Carbuncle + Multi-target Firaga + Fire Rod/Magus Rod = 
* Spoiler warning. Spoiler: Spoiler warning, see above. Ok, I know it's not really Galuf. But shhh, there might be one person somewhere out there that doesn't yet know that you lose him. |

| I didn't have a problem with Shiva... I waited until near the end of the first world to grab her, but still. |

Yay! I got Mighty Guard. 
Oh, and I also got killed shortly after my previous post. I need to stop forgetting healing items. When I don't go into a battle already half-dead and out of MP on all chars, !Lance and White Wind from Bartz are surprisingly good at keeping people alive. Except when dealing with undead, because Lance is an absorbing attack... which is exactly where the problem came from last time. 
Edit: Just got the first three new jobs. If you're after max stats, you'll have to master Oracle (Magic) and Gladiator (Strength) now. Back to the game... (edited by Thexare on 11-26-06 03:39 AM) (edited by Thexare on 11-26-06 05:26 AM) |

| Destroyed Neo Exdeath with minimal difficulty, never dropped below 1500 HP.
Level 45, all. Bartz had !Blue and !Blitzblade, Lenna was a Mime with White, Black, and Time. Krile had the typical cheap Freelancer w/ two swords (Chicken Knife and Man Eater), Spellblade, and Rapid Shot, and Faris had !Summon and !Combine. I used Carbuncle to reflect multi-target Firagas at Exdeath, and even Neo-Exdeath. Flare Sworded Rapid Shots were all Krile did, Bartz was the healer (after setting up Mighty Guard), and Faris used Bahamut unless the reflects fell, in which case she set them back up. And now certain characters keep dying in the bonus dungeon. I took a short time out to master Monk for Lenna, since she was having major HP issues (yay Movers! yay ABP Up!), but even then Gil Turtle (in the bonus dungeon) nearly wiped out my entire party with his end-battle Earthquake. Lenna was the only one left standing, and her HP was below 100... oof. |
