  • Combat, Weapons & Items

    Once again, the Final Fantasy Wiki is awesome! When it comes to fighting monsters it’s important to keep in mind what the monster’s abilities are. It’s not nessasary but it can make post more exciting if you create a hyperlink of the monster’s wikia page entry, along with it’s attacks, specifically those that have status effects. When using Itemsdo the same, and refer to this handy Wiki List of Items.

    Consider what weapon your character has equipped and how effective it would be in battle against the specific monster they're fighting. Having your character switch to a different weapon is totally an option during battle, but keep in mind that it’s helpful to write scenes in which your character goes to a bazaar when there is one in their location can help future battle scenes flow better. It's good to make sure your character is prepared for all of the adventure that awaits them and their future party members. In a long running campaign bringing a new weapon out of the blue without having previously mentioning it on your character’s profile or in RP with party members can seem a bit like godmodding, so when you're character is in a location with a bazaar, item shop etc. take advantage of that and write a shopping scene, or at least mention what they purchased and keep track of how much gil they have if you'd like. And if your character is fresh out of gil there's always a chance that there's a quest that you could reference from the wiki or completely create your own quest for the party with a reward. The options really are limitless, which is why texted based forum RP can be so much fun! Also, if you're character's job class has a thievery ability (or if it just fits their morality/psychological state) writing a stealing scene is always an option, but remember there may be consequences if you steal from either a NPC or another member's character, it's all in good fun of course.

    Here’s a sample of a battle scene from this thread “Eruyt Village (Ivalice,Old Valendian 710,The Age of Technology)":
    "When the two found the monster on the edge of the Spiritwood it’s multitude of eyes were pulsating as it gnawed at the pillars of the residence of the Wood Warders. Lilis immediately lunged forward with precise fury, unleashing her annoyance at the beast that was not far from where she laid her head at night. Her Cyprus pole slammed into the side of the sizable beast, knocking it on it’s side. Lilis kept stabbing into the creature, as it’s tentacles and eyes flailed stupidly as it tried to regain it’s balance.

    Suddenly, noxious smelling gas emitted from the Malboro’s gaping, sharp toothed mouth as it used Counter to increase it’s own speed of attack. Immediately, the beast lunched toward Lilis, biting down into the Viera’s left arm, inflicting sever damage. Dris, doused Lilis with white light using her Cura ability to restore her health a bit. Lilis’s breath became ragged as the beast did not let go of her left arm, she hit it even harder with a combination of blows from her Cyprus Pole, hoping to free her arm from it’s toothy grasp. The repulsive beast opened it’s mouth finally releasing Lilis’s arm with a chilling roar, which quickly became a belch of it’s cloying breath right into Lilis’s face. Quickly trying to cover her nose and mouth in repulsion, Lilis was too late to action and unable to evade being suddenly put to sleep by the monster. As Lilis’s body dropped to the ground the monster didn’t seem to content to just keep attack her, it turned hastily to Dris throttling it’s body toward the White Mage.

    Keeping her distance from the beast was difficult but Dris tried her best to do it. She quickly reached into her pack and aimed an Alarm Clock at Lilis’s bloody, sleeping form. Lilis shook off the sleep spell with difficulty, but stood up none the less. Trying her best to recover her balance, Lilis lunged between Dris and the Malboro, slashing at it with all of her strength. Surely this monster was almost dead, Lilis thought, surprised at how badly the creature had damaged her left arm, which bled green blood onto the forest floor. Dris casted Cura again upon the party leader, trying to keep a level headed as she couldn’t help but stare horrified at Lilis’s damaged arm. ‘We should have brought Krim with us!’ She thought feeling a bit helpless, wishing for Krim’s Black fire magic.”

    Although, there is no set in stone rule about combat as of yet, keep in mind no character or monster in invincible and concoct exciting and interesting ways for your character to defeat their foes, even if they leave the battle with physical injuries they might have to nurse or mental hurdles they need to overcome. But, most important of all have fun! :)
