The secret to enjoying any Final Fantasy is knowing which parts to ignore.

It's completely moot anyway; like I said, you were essentially forced to swap characters, so you're pretty much going to get that bonus XP anyway. I hardly see the difference between rotating through the entire party each battle so they all get XP and rotating through the entire party each battle so they all get XP and a little BONUS XP.

I don't think FFX has any super serious forced party member segments anyway(Rihkimaru being the tuffest and even then really easy) so it honestly doesn't matter past hitting the big four I already mentioned and leveling your chosen cheesenators.

Anyone ever Summon Cheesed?

There was a bit where you were forced to use Tidus/Wakka/Rikku because they were the only FREAKISH GILL-MEN in the party.

See, and that makes the Blitzball shit in X-2 even more WTF, because suddenly, the Gullwings + Biggs and Wedge who are all like "Wait, what?" can play.  Now, granted, this works about as well as you'd imagine: A bunch of people who have never played blitzball (exception: Brother) get their asses stomped unless you train them up.

It's not like they grew gills on the spot, or something.  It just came down to learning to not breathe.

Which leads me to the theory that everyone in Spira is already dead.

Some are just more dead that others.

Oh, no, I cut that part out. I remember now--decided it was too far off topic. But I had it sketched out.

I still consider your Sephiroth posts to be your best posts, Yyler.

EDIT: though the Ultimate Showdown comes a close second

Speaking of FFX, did anyone actually use kimahari?

I have. Many times. He can learn steal long before you get Rikku. Then, you can take him all through Auron and Wakkawakka and Tidus' grids.

In FFX the idea is constantly reinforced by the bonus XP you get for rotating characters.  Everybody goes for the extra XP except for those who are actually pulling out a stopwatch during battles to see if finishing more quickly actually lets you level up faster.

Wait.  By "bonus XP", are you referring to the fact that XP awarded at the end of battle only goes to characters who participated in that battle?  Is it divided up among the characters, or is the listed amount awarded to each character?

As I remember it the normal XP of the enemy is divided evenly among your characters and then everyone who actually participated in the battle (even if it was just to switch in and cast cure on themselves) gets like a 10% bonus on top.

So one way to look at it if I'm jiggling the math right is you can get as little as ~65% of the total potential XP for the battle if you only use one character, ~75% if you use three, and 100% if you figure out how to rotate them all in.

Fucking around and switching people isn't really hard; the real tricky part is the fact that the battle system is set up such that you can usually do it without taking any damage.  I really did set up a lot of the challenge in that game for myself.

Ah, excellent.  Thanks.

I think my philosophy must have been that, while I can get more XP per fight if I take the time to swap everybody out, I can do more fights in the same amount of time if I just fight as efficiently as possible.  Now I kind of want to start playing X again just to see if that was actually the case.
