Gil Wars 2: The Quest for Money...

Accurate enough to their role during the Shogunate…

So freelancer?

Apparently freelancer is not that bad, since you’ve got access to every piece of equipment. A lot of utility, like fire rings and flame swords.

The ability to use All the gear in the game is better than some jobs entire skillsets. Trust me.

@@BacklogBuster I mean I fully trust you that it wouldn’t be that bad, mostly joking that it would just largely reused content as you would have technically beating a good chunk of the game as freelancers already

@@BacklogBuster *cough* Berserker*cough*

Too easy save for the Magic side forking tower/required bosses IMMUNE to it BUT the only WAY TO kill 6x Black Flames in world 1 is to use gil toss itself but you'd end up SPENDING MORE gil then what they drop but in order to Gil toss all bosses NOT immune its best to farm 500,000 to 1 MILLION gil off of the 6x Black Flames IN world 1. Its just that you only get like 850 or so gil by killing 6x Black Flames but since they have like around 250 to 300 HP each you would SPEND more then 850 gil USING Gil toss to kill all 6 at once. Sadly the Samurai class has NO weapons that could kill all 6 Black Flames in world 1 at once.

Im gonna scrooge mcduck everyone.

@@BacklogBuster pay em 200 Gil to piss off.

Or, to quote Randy Moss: "STRAIGHT CASH, HOMIE".

Probably even stronger in a limited-job run because you can just sell everything that you know you won't be able to use with the jobs you're using that run.

When I first got ahold of the rom back in the day when I found a full translation, and had no clue what the hell I was doing because you have to beat it once before you use a walkthrough, gp toss was how I beat the game lol

about that their are NOT enough Elf Capes in game by default ONLY 3 exist and I'm not sure if you can STEAL a 3rd one as for the Main Gauche I'm not even sure its buyable while Samurai's CAN equip the STOLEN Genji armor sets theirs really no way to STEAL them the 3rd and 4th Gilgamesh battles IN WORLD 2 require to STEAL it since the Thief Knife is a WORLD 3 only weapon.

@@veghesther3204 Vegh I know reading isn't your strong suit, so I'll tell it to you again in a more clearer way. SOLO character and job. Let me repeat it. SOLO

But I tend to NEVER do SOLO run in the first place since FF5 is still easier with 4x Samurai users and with a FULL party as Samurai's you still can't get 4x Elf Capes/Main Gauche's and while the Genji armor set can be used by them the first 2 of those HAS to be stolen off of Gilgamesh since you won't have the Thief Knife YET. Gilgamesh VS Necrophobe has the FINAL Genji armor set to steal SO if you can get Gilgmesh to show up then DO try to steal it.

​@@veghesther3204 Solo challenge runs exist, and they're as valid as other challenges, once again learn how to read

When I used to work as a projectionist for a local movie theater, I would play this game all night at work. I've beaten it so many times, it's a great game to just experiment with.

Personally looking forward to the Mime run.

Is the Berserker run even possible? Like, even grinding to level 99, is it even possible?

I watched someone play solo Berserker and made it to the final boss :)

@@MissMaryanne1 iirc that required the game being on repeat for several days worth of time before the run was successful. Doesn't have sound for it cause of it lol.

Berserker only is very possible, on all versions of the game.

When normal runs usually recommend you with "Dualcast, Dual Weild, Spellblade, Rapidfire" route, it's easy to overlook other niche abilities.

Rod Smashing triggers Omniscient to cast return.

That and Rods as items ONLY work on the JOB classes that CAN USE them so yes you would need 2 of your Samurai's TO equip Reflect rings and let that boss die from its own spells BUT the Reflect mages barrier tower in world 2 almost NEVER DROP Them so the ONLY way around that is to Thief Knife 1 of your Samurai's and try to STEAL them off 1 of the Phoenix Tower enemies before fighting it.

Mage Masher isn't 100% so its still worthless when you attack that boss with it EVEN the WHITE mage/Spell blade version won't always work on it.

Nope. Single Job Challenges are taking precedence.

That's too easy too bad as free lancers mastering Monk SUCKS that's why even for KoTR Counter Mime FF7 setups NEVER use the PURPLE counter attack materia ever since if you do once your HIT causing Counter attack to trigger you'll end up using a useless physical hit with Mime and NOT KoTR against Emerald/Ruby weapon. So for Endless Bahamut summons/4x Gil toss users in the Mime/Freelancer class in FF5 NEVER master the Monk class at all.

About that its the ONLY way I could kill them instantly I tried 4x Thrown Fire Water Lightning skills even at lv 45 + they won't DO enough damage when you throw 4 of them in 1 turn to KILL all 8 of them at once.

Red Mage is just going to be another rod smasher, but a little slower because their Magic stat is pretty low. Also, unlike Blue Mage, they cannot equip shields.

​@@sertiana2512And they don't get the -ga spells

Red Mage peaks at Karnak, so yeah, its rod smashing all the way. It doesn't even get the good white magic like protect/shell iirc. Dualcast Level 2 spells is still worse than smashing a rod unfortunately.

@@kbowman772 The lack of -ga spells can be compensated by rod smashing, but their Magic stat is just too subpar for a "mage" class

Mastering Jobs is inevitable.

#20.

Yes but I NEVER had the Reflect Mages IN the barrier tower world 2 only really DROP any so the ONLY reliable way to get them is to STEAL them off of the 1 Phoenix Tower enemy instead ie via the Thief Knife if NOT in the Thief job class first. But While the Thief Knife IS in the Phantom/Mirage Village IN World 3 you don't NEED to enter the Forking Tower in order to equip it BUT on a White mage run their 1 of the few jobs that can't equip it and you MUST rely on the Reflect Mage Barrier tower drop until you get at least 2 of them.

If you watch his first video (or acutally pay attention this one) he mentions it takes 16 HOURS for the boss to run of of MP even with reflect rings.

Well I only used the reflect rings NOT to run the boss out of MP but to have its attack spell hit him BUT if you have 2x Reflect ring users when the boss uses the REGEN spell instead of using the spell on himself he will use it on your reflect ring users But in FF5 Regen IS reflectable but the only reliable way to have 2x Reflect ring users is to STEAL them via the Thief Knives since the Samurai class can equip it on world 3. The reflect knights Barrier Tower almost NEVER drop them so that isn't a option.

"Katan-ers" > Katanas.

Like this man, I want to see Omni shanked to death in an alley

Silence lasts for like one round on omniscient. If you want to rely on a random chance going off back to back like 40 times sure. But thats not the reality I live in.

Correct and even the WHITE Mage spells or even the SPELL blade version is NOT a 100% chance either so not worth it.

Being Cool is not the same as being good and useful lol

FF5 Dragoon sucks ass. They have mediocre stats, have nothing to offer to Freelancer, and their abilities are also lackluster. Basically you can play FF5 just fine by completely skipping them.

I agree other then killing Shinryu with dragon lances + Jump they suck BUT the Dragon Lances HAVE to be stolen and can't be used on a 1x to 4x Dragoon run and while the class has that LANCER skill it barely restores ANY HP/MP in FF5 and undead enemies are still IMMUNE TO IT.

Shinryu is susceptible to Berserk status, and it's permanent on him. Anyone who can cast it, and be able to defend against his massive attack stat should do just fine. No Dragon Lance necessary.

Except its faster faster then the ENTIRE party if you berserk it so it still best to jump with 2x Dragon lances each besides if you Berserk Shinryu then the Golem Summon won't even last for 1 HIT against it forcing you to cause the BLIND status via mix to make sure the physical hits it does NEVER connects

Not skipped, just post poned

Dragoons leavinng their friends behind to take the brunt of the enemies attacks, all to do incredibly mediocre damage. Truly the best job in the series.

@@BacklogBuster with 4 though there is no one to leave behind.

FF Tactics Advance might be the only FF game where Dragoons were ever good ( well good at acutally being a combat class).

Well, mime and freelancer are basically the same. But yes, the turn order is set.

​@@BacklogBusterAt least Mime will be able to spam items without wasting them.

I played a Dragoon in FF11 and FF14. I know the pain.

he uses it only for Exdeath, so no he shouldn't skip it.

1) He only uses Magic Lamp against Neo Exdeath up to Odin (Zantetsuken) to instantly defeat one part of him, which there are FOUR of them. 2) Magic Lamp is still susceptible to user's Magic stat, most of the jobs have low Magic to make Magic Lamp more relevant. 3) You need to recharge it.

I imagine he's just shaking things up for a bit, doing all the wind crystal jobs, then the water, etc, could get a little dull. Jumping around makes things more interesting.

It's just gonna be a another rod smashing job except you can heal.

@@DisplayThisOkay welllll, yes and no. 'Yes,' in that, yes he will absolutely do that from Karnak on, and 'no' in that he has to beat Garula first...
