I think you'll learn to hate him. Or at least his crew. /not spoiling anything

Eh, we'll see what happens. I am 100% expecting him to do something nasty/not-nice to us, because c'mon - it's Jack. I don't think you know ABOFAL, but in that he was a villain and stabbed someone on-screen, and in fic I often took him to darker places, so. Jack = villain and gonna do something v. bad. I just need to find out what.

In the meantime: gotta kill the things that are powering up Ouroboros so I can go back and slay that thing once and for all.

It feels weird to not have to give hints or hand out a password or two. XD

TBH I am reluctant to use passwords, as that feels...well, like cheating. Same with the demon sources. I know it was built into the game, but the game's easy enough already...

Ouroboros was a bit of a challenge, but once I figured out what she was weak to, I fortunately had a demon in reserve with the right -dyne spell, (Kingu I think) and Bai Suzhen had a media spell (and was Chaos so could do the bonus attack w/ Kingu) and I had someone w/ Bufula for additional damage and - er, tl;dr I beat Ouroboros w/out needing to reboot, get the right demon, and try again.

(Stats: I am lvl 47, and my current team is Kingu, Kukunochi and Throne. If I do run into a really hard fight I'll re-summon King Frost for his mediarahan. :P)

edit: I take it back, Ouroboros the second time is HARD. I'll have to use different tactics when I try again...

Argg I need to get Strange Journey but I am lacking discretionary income

DS games - I played the shit out of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2. Over a hundred hours.

I fear I cannot help with income, but I wish you luck in getting it - it is v. good, and IMHO it is worthy of being labeled SMTIV, even if it didn't get the title in the end.

Do I need to know the plot of FF Tactics/FF Tactics Advance 1? Because if so I'll devote more time to my PS2 in the next few months. If I don't need that info, then I will happily go look for it. :D

Yeah, I'll probably cave in and get it soon. I just know I'm only gonna have a job until September so I have to be careful what I spend my money on haha.

Nope! The story and main characters have nothing to do with the story and cast of FFTA. If memory serves, FFTA:2's plot actually has more in common with FF12 than it does with any of the other Tactics installments, though there are insignificant-but-cool references to all the Ivalice games. (You don't need to know anything about 12 to play it-- it just makes a couple optional characters you get late-game that much more amusing.)

Ahhh, gotcha. Good luck with that stuff. (And I do rec getting SMT:SJ used, if at all possible. Makes it easier on the wallet)

Excellent! Then I will have something else to suck all the time out of my day. XD (And for the record, I am 100+ hours into FFXII...sidequests, see. Forget about the plot, the sidequests are where it's at. :P)
