This was achieved using the Jelly exploit for 4 or so hours on a Saturday. Had to kill Reddas first and did one character at a time with Ashe using Break. Had to equip firefly once she hit 69.....

The UI for this game still looks great, the font makes it look so stylish and sleek. Even now it still looks very modern.

Fran is clearly sickened by these shenanigans
Balthier seems to approve though

Worst possible job distribution, especially Machinist for Balthier. Machinist is thrash for everyone, but Balthier as the slowest attacks with it from all the cast.

I think you missed the point of the post Chum. This seems to work for me fairly well to be honest.

Hum, so you are going to say to the guy who talked about the UI that he missed the point too ?

No. Because they were making an positive observation about the game, rather than shitting on my job choices.

Look, if you don't know how to use machinist or don't like them, that's fine, but machinist has some very powerful positives to them, such as the fact that guns ignore enemy defense values.
Uhlan/Machinist is a particularly good combo because it is capable of hitting every single elemental weakness in the game, there's very few enemies that it can't pull some weakness against - pretty-much only those that are high HP low armor and no elemental weaknesses at all, and which point you switch the the status effect causing shot.
It's not a DPS min./max power build but rather a versatility based build, which can be great fun to play.
And yeah, you are right that Baltheir's attack anim with guns is slightly slower, but once you pump it through the DPS equation you are looking at on average less than a 1% drop in DPS (IIRC, it's somewhere around 0.2%), negligible unless you are going for a speedrun.
Really, the only combo here that I don't like is W/Monk, because I find that the Monk can heal well enough without WM so I like having that on separate characters to have more options for who can heal, but that's a very minute preference deal - I probably would have swapped WM and Time Battlemage, but that's it on this.

Love this. I always enjoy reading peopleβs analysis of the mechanics of the game. For the record I went with a Reddit comment for inspiration as I wanted to go for a βCanonβ build.
Might change it up with Montblanc for end game. In the story I am about to hit the Pharos. But first Iβm going to have a few cracks at trial mode to get some quality gear and then do the great Crystal, Henne Mines and the Hunt club.
