Giuliani is famous for being mayor of new York when 9/11 happened, without that he would be nothing.

I'd literally never heard of him before that, but I learned to hate him almost overnight at the time.

I remember John Stewart having a great name for him and his ilk, "The 9/11 First Capitalizers"

Didn't he basically did that tuxedo mask sailor Moon "my work here is done" meme and got praised for his hard work when it was his aides and the city council doing the work of rebuilding while he convinced the government to pay the city millions for rebuilding, and then he didn't properly allocate most of those funds?

Ding ding ding.

In the aftermath of a horrific terror attack and tremendous loss of life, Giuliani and a bunch of other people thought only "How can I use this to advance my political career and line my pockets"

Lunatic Garden should be next, followed by Sand Canal. In Sand Canal you'll have several fights with the Bargain Bin Power Rangers, and then another fight with Janus at the exit.

Do not waste a Lucky Card or Gella Card on that Janus battle. Keep your HP high and use the buff that boosts your Magic Resistance on your weaker party members.

Maybe use a Lucky Card on the third fight with the Bargain Bin Power Rangers. IIRC the EXP from them isn't really that great.

Your FP will be equal to your current level at the beginning of the fight. Being hit gains you 1 FP, landing physical attacks and dodging enemy attacks give more, 5 or 6 IIRC. The damage you deal/receive is also boosted/reduced the higher your FP gets. Anytime it reaches 100 during a battle, that character gets automatic Condition Green, nullifying any status ailment they may have had on them.

Sell them all day. I only ever found one use for having a few on hand: the sidequest to grow berries I mentioned earlier. Since you have to leave the dungeon with 1 HP and Virginia's REF is high, she can Mystic a gem on her first turn as long as she's at least Lv25 and usually kill the enemies right away. They tend to be slow enemies so Gallows can finish them off with Extension magic before they act if they survive.

You can always farm gems when you need them for that. Treat them as a source of income otherwise. Analyze enemies and exploit weaknesses for magic kills to harvest gems. Summons are pretty good for group wipeouts, which will give you gems like any other elemental magic kill.

Kill enemies with magic for more money when grinding. The elemental gems they drop when killed with magic sell for 100 gella each.

I think you shoulda found 1 or 2 migrant seals at this point. There's a lot, some in your path, some take diligence to find.

The town you're in is Little Twister. Clive is sniper dude.

New fun fact: IIRC in the original Japanese version this town is called Titty Twister >_>

Did you use fire on Afro?

No, but I did use water on Cat.

Also the battle ended when I beat everyone but the kid.

You'll fight them again. As soon as 'afro' eats fire magic he takes burn damage every round. You want to take him out first most times you take them on.

Maybe it was just my copy but I remember that game not counting cut scenes as part of the game time so it felt like I played the game for less hours then I actually did. But maybe that was just me.

Loved the game.

Yeah, my playtime is higher than the game has counted it.

I guess I'm about to fight Janus and them again. I just fought Trask and used a Gella Card on him for some ez money.

At this point every boss you meet should be auto Gella Card + Virginia Mystic/Lucky Card on your party. I don't want to spoil anything, but there are fights you will lose in the future. Update your progress here and one of us should be able to warn you to not waste these precious items for nothing.

Usually it's only 1 of the party that'll get unique dialogue, and it's usually obvious the characters know each other.

Sometimes objects that you can investigate repeatedly will do the same, and you can run through all the characters and get all their responses to whatever you're looking at.

That's good to know.

This game kind of reminds me a bit of Golden Sun. Not sure if that's been said a lot in the past, but some of the tunes, the guardian system, etc.

Also, I love that talking to people around town is actually important, unlike a lot of more modern JRPGs. And the innkeeper keeps charging more as I level. Smh.

Make sure you change your active character depending on who you're talking to, you can get different responses sometimes. For example, in Claiborne right now if you look around you can find someone Jet knows from his intro who'll have different dialogue for Jet

I love this fucking game if you couldn't tell.

Janus Cascade is best villain. You're gonna learn to love to hate him.

The animated sequence that plays every time you load your game will change slightly, featuring new characters as you advance the story, generally at the end of a chapter. The first change is coming up at the end of that second dungeon I told you about the upcoming boss in that a book reveals a weakness for.

Fun fact: those trees are one of many enemies that can be "activated" by certain elements. Oak hit with water magic gains a paralyzing punch.

Now while you're unlikely to hit them with water, you'll encounter them in another area grouped with an enemy that fills the battlefield with water, which will power up any of those Oaks alive with paralyzing punches. Always Analyze enemies and check their Active elements. You can recall the info by holding Triangle while targeting enemies of the same type. Analyze an enemy once and you can view the info on them in every battle after.

Oh, those Oaks drop Gear that makes you immune to Paralysis if you farm them. But you have to fight them on foot like I said above.

I bought some horses in Claiborne. Not sure how useful they'll be, but it seemed like something I'd need eventually.

You'll need them to jump ravines and advance the story. Ravines block some very useful secret areas, like the ravine between Baskar Colony and Jolly Roger. You can backtrack there now but the monsters there will beat the snot out of you at this point. Completing a quest there will allow you to grow and harvest healing items like Berries, which you can't buy anywhere. You'll want to be at least Lv25, preferably higher, and have started getting more Mediums. Hardest part if you seek out this sidequest is after beating the dungeon boss, you need to backtrack to the entrance... and your entire party has only 1 HP each until you get out. At Lv25 you can at least spam Force Abilities to try and end battles on the first round.

You'll eventually reach an area where an 'optional' (and very weak) boss will only attack you on horseback, killing him nets you a pile of Dragon Fossils which you'll also need to procure new transportation and advance the story.

Always have a few Call Whistles, you'll need them to summon your Horses when you leave them behind somewhere.

Don't use horses if you don't have to - starting in the area you're in, enemies will sometimes leave a trapped chest after battling on foot. Aside from the usual fare of Berries and status curing items, some have Gear you can equip to your Mediums for extra effects like status immunities and other passive benefits.

Oh, and read all the books on bookshelves. They help build the world and can flesh out the story, as well as containing tips necessary to progressing. Claiborne has a book that reveals how to cripple the defense on an upcoming boss, not in the dungeon you're about to head to but the one after.

Some books are sealed by magic, never waste a Duplicator on them, with one exception - you'll enter a dungeon later in the game called Leyline Observatory. Open the "Adult Mag" book with a Duplicator. It's useless at first, but come back to read it when your Migrant Level is 18+ for an item needed for a sidequest.

Which reminds me, remember the dungeons you visit. Remember areas you couldn't reach in them. As you find new Tools for your party, many areas can be reached in old dungeons using those new Tools for some pretty nice stuff. Backtracking to those dungeons gets easier later in the game as you aquire additional means of transportation if you don't wanna hoof it all the way.

Whenever you enter a town for the first time, look for the little dark haired girl.

She pops up in lots of places, in the background of scenes or in out of reach areas, which she'll disappear from when you can reach them. Never anywhere you can approach and talk.

Remember her.

*takes the name Conservatives*
*takes a piss on wildlife conservation at every opportunity ursaring*

*Spends more money on the military than the rest of the world combined*

We also spend more money per capita on health care than any other country in the world, yet the solution, apparently, is to spend more money.

This is why I can't support Democrats. They have the right message and the wrong solutions.

So you support Republicans, who have both the wrong message and the wrong solutions

Smart.

I literally have never voted for a Republican. Ever.

You do realize there are more than two political parties, right

A vote for a third party for anything outside of the local level is a wasted vote and is the same effectively as not voting at all

It's a wasted vote only because you choose to buy into the "vote for X because otherwise Y will win" bullshit that has kept these two parties in power forever.

People just double down on their dumb shit when it's laid out for them like this. The indoctrination on both sides is real.

They'll keep doing it until we really do wind up in an authoritarian shithole, one only made possible by their manufactured division and distraction. And what will they do when they realize what's happened? Will they unite against what is clearly the common enemy of tyrannical government?

No. They're going insist it's because of the other side that this happened, devolving right back into what they both did that allowed it to happen, without an iota of self awareness. A dictators wet dream.

It really isn't. I got the Plat for it when it first came out through crazy determination. I do not recommend the experience. Just enjoy it for the destruction fest it is, and get creative using destruction. The sledgehammer attracts surprisingly little attention via noise when busting through a wall to your objective. You can be surprisingly stealthy in this game too... as you rig the structure you're in to blow when you leave :p

Your first chance is the forests between Fort Condor and Junon. You can fuck up the things you say to her and keep re-trying, although I'm pretty sure you lose some gil every failed attempt because she's a thieving bitch.

Edit: and never use the save point after beating her. It too is a fucking trick.

And if you find yourself cracking a safe for some reason in the manor, be very, very prepared before you begin. Like full HP/MP 'cause you're about to be curbstomped by a boss prepared.

Umm... you unlock new limit breaks by using the ones you have a certain number of times and killing a certain number of enemies. The character has to land the killing blow for it to count towards the next limit.

To be more specific, there's 4 limit levels. To unlock the second limit break on a given level, keep using the first from that level. To unlock the first limit in the next level, the character must make killing blows. Certain areas with larger groups of enemies are ripe for easy kills using Enemy Skills like Beta or All materia slotted with offensive magic.

There's only one limit break at level 4 and you'll need to find each characters limit manual scattered around the game to learn it.

Something I always found useful was to keep your party in Fury status as soon as you can buy a pile of Hypers. Fury reduces your physical and magical accuracy by 3/10, but in my opinion this is greatly outweighed by it doubling the rate your Limit Gauge fills when you take damage. I not only unlock limit breaks way, waaaay earlier than usual, but you basically spam limit breaks in every battle.

Aeris with Fury makes your party damn near unkillable since all her limits heal the party. Loading her up with Materia makes her magic damn high while the loss in total HP combined with Fury will make her Limit Gauge charge all fucking day when she gets attacked.

Bonus round: Aeris unlocks a limit break called Fury Brand that charges everyone else's limit gauge to full. Combined with Fury you'll be a limit break machine. Chews through any of the regular story bosses like nobodies fucking business.

You're doing a Badlands transporter aren't you? I think that's where I got stuck on one for f***ing days trying to optimize everything about how I took the route to save time.

I know this rage you're feeling.

no, a Dust one. have to get one of the big container trucks to the middle Dust safehouse in 45 seconds.

The only time save is at the very beginning where you have to make a jump over a small cliff. the rest is just... luck?

There's a depressing amount of luck involved in all of them, yes. I just remember one, out of either Badlands or Oasis that takes you across most of the map all the way back to Parker that made me want to punch a baby in the face.

Oh, when you get to the Badlands, try to keep the Harrington Memorial Bridge as intact as possible, don't get into firefights on it. IIRC my first play through I tore it apart immediately, and came to deeply regret that during any mission after that had you go through there. I'm pretty sure one of the later Transporters is fucking impossible to hit pro time without the bridge to cross the canyon.

Once you're done with all the transporters, feel free to get some heavy ordnance and rip that bridge a new asshole. Personally I like provoking the EDF into sending one of those multi-missile tanks for me to hijack.
