Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

March 16th, 2010

Hint: Infinite Loot

Want infinite loot but don’t want to take the time to fight a billion quests? If you’re late in the game, you can get all the loot you want in a single battle with the right circumstances. Enter any battle (preferably a random battle, as the laws tend to be a little less constraining), and be sure to have Vaan and any Seeq Ranger in your party. For best results, you’ll want to add a Time Mage, as well as any class that is good at holding enemies in place, such as an Animist with Sheep Count or a Juggler with Ring Toss.

Although it’s not strictly necessary, you may want to fight the battle as usual until you get to one enemy remaining. This is just for simplicity, and to keep battlefield control. Keep the enemy busy but don’t kil him; use Stop, Sleep, and so forth to keep him out of harm’s way. Then, have your Ranger make any kind of trap near Vaan, and have Vaan use the Salvage ability. Salvage, you see, disarms the trap an gives you a random piece of high level loot as a result. The Ranger can make unlimited traps for free, and Vaan can use his Salvage ability for free as many times as he wants too. With a Time Mage giving Haste to both guys, you could sit there and farm loot quickly all day! Just be sure to save afterwards!

Unlockable: Vaan and Penelo

In order to recruit Vaan and Penelo to your party (both from Final Fantasy XII), try the following. Before going on a quest titled The Ritual, head to Flougis. An event bubble should appear. Thereafter, another will pop up. Head to both. If done properly, Vaan and Penelo will thereafter be unlocked for use in your party.

Hint: Experience Boost

Before each battle, you’ll get to choose with advantage you want to give your crew (so long as you don’t break the judge’s rules for that battle). You should always, always choose an experience boost over any other statistical advantage. You’ll rarely (if ever) run into a battle where you should be challenged to the point that you’ll need a mild speed or strength boost, for instance, but experience is always a hot commodity that should be gathered when and where you can. Giving yourself an experience boost during each battle will let your characters level up quicker, and ultimately this will lead to an even stronger party that will never need statistical advantages in battle. Continue to repeat this process and you’ll be working with a really strong crew before long.
