    Oh and one teeny thing. You’re 100% right about Tonberries, slash and dodge, but if you dry to dodge to their backs and stay to their tail end, you’ll also dodge Karma. Suuuper helpful later since damage scales, but if you run or dodge to behind them and stay still, let Karma play out, 85% of the time you’ll completely avoid any damage throughout the entire fight. It takes a little practice, and is much harder when fighting multiple at once, but it could really save you if you need it. Hope that helps someone out there!

    It is *sort of* explained why the Summon fights exist the way they do. After the Bahamut fight, Zack shouts: “Summons aren’t supposed to be used like this!” hinting that they’re only supposed to be used as one-off attacks like in the original ff7, but Genesis is abusing them. Not super clear but I hope it wraps your head around it 😂

    You do level up by hitting an exp threshold. Every monster in the game gives you exp. As soon as you level up with the next few turns you will always get a 777. You are never shown how much xp you have or how much xp is needed to level or how much monsters give you. It can only be found by looking up a list that people data mined from the game. But ya you can grind xp.

    Beat any FF game of choice with only using stolen items to restore your HP and MP
    You can play however you like besides that unless you wanna add further limitations based upon whichever game

  • @futhum
    @futhum Год назад +1

    Unless the remake has changed how level up works, leveling up in CC was never luck / gacha based - rather, the games tracks your experience points from fights won and when you achieve certain thresholds, you may "luck out" a level up, based on your current level and the "potential level" given by the exp accumulated.
    Zack's chance of leveling isn't actually "random"; the higher the difference from the potential level is from his current, the more likely the level up will show up, in a "weighted DMW result".
    Thus, exp is accounted for; we're just never shown how much do we have or need for these thresholds.

    Correction on the DMW: You do level up reaching a specific EXP threshold. Technically. There are numeric exp requirements for the DMW to roll the 777. The more you go over a specific threshold, the higher the chances to roll the Level up.
    Let's say that you have 87 exp and need 90 to level up from 5 to 6. Once you reach 90 exp, the game starts to fish for the 777 roll. I don't remember the exact numbers, but let's say the base chance is 10%. If you reach 100 exp and didn't hit the roll, the chance increases to 12%, 110 goes to 14% and so on. Of course, you could reach 200 EXP (required for level 7) and still haven't hit the 777. This could easily get into a double 777 roll because you hit the previous roll for level 6 and the base 10% for level 7 in a roll.
    I think gamefaqs has a more indepth faq about the DMW chances and mechanics.

  • @littlevivigaming4822
    @littlevivigaming4822 Год назад

    Feels like you couldve made these fights a lot easier using equipment from quest reqards and grinding levels in the base trainer. Since levels are determined by the DMV, you couldve put on your best defensive equipment that nullified the soldiers attacks, taped down the guard button, and left the game running overnight in order to let the DMV run on its own. You can reasonably get 10-20 levels over the course of a few hours even with shitty luck

    • @ethanvl1852
      @ethanvl1852 Год назад +1

    First of all, you maybe don't know, but in the first chapter you can check the items you can collect up to 20 times, and after that, you will get a cursed ring, which buffs your stats for good in early game, even if you can't use the DMW
    Second of all, why not investing time to bring Proficiency up to 100% by doing Mission 1-1-1? It's more useful instead of grinding for Levels, at 100% you reduce damage up to 80% and could avoid all that grinding.
    Third of all, you could avoid again all that grinding if you went to collect those accessories you get by the final boss much earlier in the game.
    So maybe you needed an escusse to make the video more interesting and longer or you do not know this game so well :)
