Status + Notes:

Ugh!!! Yeah, I wiped on Zeromus... because I refused to use a Megalixir... I was tired... and... man, there's just really no excuse for that. Also, never remembered Zeromus countering every spell you cast on him... blah... so, yeah. Caught myself up a bit, but still have to go back and kill him... twice. Sigh...

I do want to spend a little time talking about the "system" of FF IV. A.K.A. Multipliers... when you attack something or get attacked you do it a number of times equal to the multiplier... so say I have a stat listed as

6x - 82...

That would mean I'd attack 6x with a strength of 82. The multiplier is calculated by your stats. For every 8 strength you get an attack multiplier... for every 16 speed you get an attack multiplier... for every 8 speed you get a defense multiplier... for every 32 total spirit + intelligence you get a magic defense multiplier and for every 32 speed you get a magic defense multiplier...

Basically this means that if an item would increase your stats enough to get an attack multiplier, or maybe a defense multiplier it is worth it because you're going to see a larger return for it.

So, I'm going to be putting a lot of time into this for the next couple of days. Expect alot of progress. And no more wiping on Zeromus!

  1. I can't help but wonder if this multiplier talk is because of what I said somehow :P

    Another little suggestion that I might be wrong about again: If I remember correctly, the Black Cowl for Edge sucks ass. It doesn't give much stats. I think I had him with a Genji Helm or a Ribbon at this point. Maybe put Rydia back on the Gold Hairpin for the INT boost and give her Ribbon to Edge. I don't have the game in front of me though so you'd have to compare the difference. Either way, it's probably not gonna change much in the grand scheme of things, but for those of us that care enough about stats to list them out in a blog, every point counts right? :)

    And yeah, Zeromus is still a fair challenge even after playing the game a million times. I think he wiped me the first time I fought him on my last playthrough as well. Just gotta slow down and heal a little more than you usually would. It goes against everything prior where you usually go straight offense. Those back to back Big Bangs are killer.
