I just barely got my Cecil's class change. Damn, I forgot to remove all his equipment before entering that place. T_T

Doesn't really matter. It sets you back a handful of gil, but nothing a quick raid of Eblan when you get the airship won't fix.

Just picked it up earlier, and this is the first real chance for me to play it.
I noticed the spoken dialogue near the beginning, but then it was just manual text when Cecil talked to King Baron. How much of the game is roughly spoken/regular text?
That being said, im really excited to play this game a 2nd time through. Personally it has been the most engaging FF for me ^^

Anyone know if Mystery Egg is added to the bestiary?

Nooooes! The old adult-Rydia (the sprite-version in the original SNES game + the GBA version) looked much sexier than this new one! I'm dissapointed! Her lips are green, her hair is not quite like it's supposed to be and she got a cape! Also, her hair-thingy has a blue gem instead of a red one! The red one was sooo much sexier! And her face in general is just... less sexy. =(

Pretty much everything else about the game kicks ass, though. And Rydia is TEH HAWTNESS in the intro-sequence.


Edit: Oh yeah, and I just beat Dr. Lug-something. Died 3 times before I finally beat him, and when I beat him it was a really close one. Toughest boss by far so far.

My characters have currently the following levels: Cecil: 44, Rydia: 44, Kain: 41, Yang: 40, Rosa: 38.

Did someone actually bother exploring the entire babel Tower? I only think I explored about 60-70% of the entire tower, so I might have missed some cool stuff. I remember getting the Ice Sheild, Killer Bow, Green Beret (though it's not that good) and uh... Ice Armor, I think. Is there any other "cool" stuff in the tower?

Edit 2: Forgot to mention that Cid's suicide-bombing was even more hilarious this time around.

Update:
Just got to the Baigan-Cagnazzo double boss match. I remember baigan being annoying with his Reflect (which kills blizzaga, his weakness, and twincast, most of the time.) that only goes down when you kill the other parts of his body first. So that part wasn't bad, just tedious.
Cagnazzo though, dddaaammmnnnn.....
I heard from people that the game got an upgrade in difficulty, but so far i had handled everything pretty well. Only lost to Scarmiligone once, and that was because i didnt heal up before.
But no, with Cagnazzo, even when fully healed his tsunami just said goodbye to like, everyone of importance (the mages). And i had no phoenix downs ><

So far, im not playing with augments (dont really understand them). Other changes that i think are contributing to the challengingness are counters. It has been years since i played it on the GBA, but i dont remember counters being as numerous as they are now.

Meh, oh well...i expect to be at babel tonight...i hope. Problem is that after the Dark Elf, the game goes out of order for me. Like i remember the dwarves, meetin Edge and the final battle, but they get jumbled up

Huh? It's always gone Elf, Tower of Zot, Dwarvenmidgets, Bab'il Part I, Edge, Bab'il Part II, Sealed Cave, Moon.

[rubah]

man, the tower of zot is owning me pretty hard, but nothing a bunch of running away hasn't fixed.

Encountered the Magus Sisters and owned them pretty easily. Perhaps I should've took mindy down before cindy? I dunno. Not difficult at all though.

I'm really glad about the map % completion thing. I would definitely not spend so much time walking around (and levelling up) if not for trying to get that one last measly percentage point.
