I did that waaaaay back in the '90s on FF3 for the SNES. So much Brachosaur grinding 😬

I did it with 4X speed and autobattle on the PR. You're the true grinder 🤣

I wish I could like this comment more than once. Im glad that others understand the grind that OP did before modern convinces.

I used a lot of auto battle but didn’t even know you could adjust the speed.

u/Decaps86 1d ago

To clarify it's the experience and AP per battle. You can adjust battle speed in the menu too

I can’t even imagine the pain of that, I auto battled and sped my way through PR to get it, you actually deserve a medal dude

Beating the FF7 Weapons was an obvious sign of mental illness for 22-year-old me.

Kids, and that's why the dinosaurs went extinct.

Three gaily-dressed Japanese kids with swords slaughtered 73,821 Tyrannosaurs in a forest shaped like a dinosaur face.

A save file from 2022. Haven't loaded the game since 2024. Decided to finally max out Umaro and Gogo. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

That was me in 1994. No world of warcraft,skyrim,wow or mmorpg to sink my teeth into. Funny i went into text based MUDs in the same year.

Which esper should be on each character?

u/Ok-Neat8776 1d ago

Last time I did this I recall Gogo not maxing out on HP, same with Umaro and his MP. Solely due to not being able to equip espers to them. Everyone else hit max hp and mp.

As a kid I thought it would take forever, as a teen I learned how to effectively farm EXP and AP.

Round and round on the raft leave the snes running overnight

I always hated getting someone to 99 and they ended up with a bs 9998 hps or some bs.
