Yeaaah, I shouldn't have bash certain jobs without knowing their strength. My mistake. I should use Red Mage as an example for crappy job. Sure the ability to cast black and white magic at once is nice, but they're only able to cast up to -ra level of spells. Dualcast may be incredibly useful, but dual -ra spells is no match for -ga spells. And besides, due to FJF job restriction...
Okay, I admit Bard is powerful. In a certain Touhou RPGMaker RPG game, there's a character whose Bard ability let me steamroll my opposition with her buffs. Too bad she's a Guest character.
I think you need to, like, reduce enemy's HP to 1/16, I think, to Capture it? I ended up Graviga-ing that creature repeatedly to capture it. Not a pleasant experience.
I'm starting to realize the power of Blue Mage. On top of having Aero spells, they can use swords and medium armor. But still though, how am I gonna get support type spells form enemies? Confusing it? Well, it really is not a pleasant experience doing it in GoShit since enemies would very much prefer committing seppuku. There's a reason why I hate Satori very much in THAT game.
So, Liquid Flame. That thing is so hard that I think its the first boss ever to gives a major trouble to players. On top of having boat load of HP, it has very powerful attacks like Blaze (80 damage to all), and Fira (270 damage), and 3 forms, each with a different gimmicks and counters. Oh yeah, it counters every attacks you made. Since I don't have access to Blizzara, I pretty much have to resort to breaking Rods to kill it else it will outdamage my Potions. Even then, it still has a chance of just plain shrugging my magic. Geez man. It took me like, 3 tries to kill it. Thank goodness for Save States. I would like to express my gratitude to The ⑨th Zentillion for the strategy against that thing.
After that, we have an escape sequence. You have 10 minute to get out of dodge while collecting all the treasure if you can. But almost all the treasure contains enemies that likes to waste your time. During this section, the timer won't freeze no matter what. Pausing the game don't even freeze the timer (Yet, resting in Tent DOES). I learned this the hard way when I was little. Of course not everyone have a free time. That time, I was called by my parent to do some chore. So I paused the game and leave it. When I returned, there's no more castle and 4 heroes. Back to title screen. Fortunately, I was beginning my escape that time so I did not lose much progress. Now, I gotta ask this question: Why would Square Enix put this feature in a handheld game that is designed to be pick up and played with ease?
Anyway, for my third job, I got... Mystic Knight. Nice, I got a decent replacement for Black Mage. Mystic Knight can use Spellblade to infuse Black Mage's spell to their sword. How about if I infuse my blade with Flare?
EDIT: I think the boss in the Castle use Death Claw which Blue Mage can learn. I didn't know that because I kill the boss way too fast (I got out with 30 seconds to spare).
