Can you do this for Final Fantasy V Advance too?

Basically, master all the jobs in FFV advance and you'll be set.

I'm kinda doing a "perfect" game. I didn't stress over the stuff early on, but now that I have the best bonuses I can get, I'm trying to get the best stats.

THE JACKAL

Apologies from hijacking your thread Necronopticous, but I've got a problem I thought you'd like to know about (and help me out on ;) ).

According to Leviathan Mist in his Perfect Stats Guide, at the Imperial Banquet it's possible to flee from the three soldiers except the Mega Armour and still get the Charm Bangle (which is a one-off item and a big help for the Floating Continent) if I answer the questions right and defeat the Imperial Elite soldiers. The thing is I did that part last-night as was stated, but only got a Tintinabar. I did it again defeating three of the four soldiers, answering the questions right and fighting the Imperial Elite, but still only got a Tintinabar.

The only way it's possible to get the Charm Bangle is to do everything possible, which I can't do without the party I've got gaining levels.

Any Advice?

P.S. I know it might seem like I'm going over the top with this, but I'm hardcore when it comes to a ("perfect playthrough") I need everything possible to be perfect.

[Necronopticous]

No problem about the questions, please ask away, that's what the thread is for.

Leviathan Mist's guide is totally wrong about the banquet, I'll explain...

The only way you can possibly get the Ward Bangle is by fighting--and killing--every single enemy in this graded area. This includes the SP Forces during the banquet break, and all 4 battles while talking to soldiers. (You get one point for talking to them, and five points for actually killing them)

Someone's going to gain a level if you want the Ward Bangle. Sucks, right?

Actually, no. The good thing is that Leviathan Mist also made a mistake thinking that you need a level average of less than 6.50 to have your character's levels round to 6. In actuality, it is decimal truncation rather than rounding. What does this mean for you? You can safely have a level average of up to 6.99 and it will still average incoming characters to level 6.

Yes I'm sure, yes I've tried it. Equip a +2 esper on someone and let one person in your party take a level. I don't remember how exactly I did that right at the moment, but I think I had Edgar kill one battle by himself with everyone dead, and then everyone distribute the rest of the exp between the four characters evenly with them all alive. Can't be sure, but just do a little math with some enemy stats guides and your current exp and you should be able to easily figure it out.

Good luck!

The problem with that is I had to level Locke up to level 7 during the Mine Cart ride, before the banquet I've got a party of;

Terra - lv 6
Locke - lv 7
Sabin - lv 6
Edgar - lv 6
Cyan - lv 7
Gau - lv 7
Setzer - lv 6

I take Terra, Edgar, Sabin, and Setzer who all have about 384 exp to play with before next lv up. I'm not great with maths, but if one of them gains a level wouldn't that then be above 6.99, meaning Shadow joins at 7 instead of 6.

I'll try it out, but I think I'm screwed, was Locke only mean't to gain one level during the Mine Cart ride?

Edit: I'm about to leave the WoB now, and need to level Gau up for the fight with Air Force, but with the GBA version having a bonus Esper with HP +100 (Diablos), does this completely change how I can level up Gau and the rest?

[Necronopticous]

No, it's the same. Everyone should be level 25, with the exception of Gau who should be less than 68 I believe. Also, you might want to consider making every 24 instead of 25 so LV 5 Death won't kill your party.

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I plan on leveling everyone except Gau up to around lv 20, I think there's some enemies in the Pheonix Cave I can't escape from and one in Owzer's Mansion I'm forced to take EXP from, so I'll leave them with a few levels to play with.

Also, you were right about being able to gain an extra level at the banquet and still keep the average below 7, I let Edgar gain the extra level, got the Charm Bangle and Shadow was still only lv 6 when I picked him up on the Floating Continent. The rest should be a breeze now.

Thanks!

Did you remember to let Shadow and Celes get their +1 stat when they were still level 5->6?

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I did for Celes, I let her gain a level with Cait Sith before she left the group in the MagiTek Factory, but not for Shadow, I thought his level was averaged to 6 after you get the first espers in Zozo, was there a way to level Shadow up before going to Vector?
