Accumulate + JP_Up = fast AP. Lots of fast AP. Sure, it doesn't work on "named" characters except Ramza, but still.

Fucking Accumulate. Everyone I talk to who I gripe and whine about my FFT problems to lists that EXACT SAME THING. Use ACCUMULATE. Goddammit, it seems like Accumulate is REQUIRED to play through FFT, if you don't want to have a disgustingly hard time.

That just makes FFT even worse, having one broken move that you HAVE to use.

And yet you like FFX, whose sphere grid allows characters to become almost completely invincible in every category.

In FFX, it's nigh impossible to get enough AP to clear even one path on the Grid until you're already at least up to Mt. Gagazet (not counting Kimahri's path - and Auron, because I lub him so much, had Entrust already by then, hehehe).

You can't realistically make God characters until you've already more or less CROSSED Mt. Gagazet, which is pretty close to finishing the game anyway (to unlock Cactuar King in the Moster Arena).

For comparison...

Every system has it's flaws, but they are all designed so that if you spend enough time, you can basically be a god. But yeah, they kind of messed up with FFVIII since you can basically be god in a few hours.

On my second file, I beat Ifrit in one hit. I beat X-ATM092 in under one minute, without using Quetzalcoatl.

You know how much time I spent outside before entering the Fire Cave?

One hour and fifteen minutes.

I had Squall and Quistis (as well as Shiva and Quetzalcoatl) at over level 30, with multiple Ra spells and well... able to do enough damage to kill Ifrit in one attack.

That's fucking sad.
