Training!

There is only one way to get better and that is to practice! With a super duper fun fight coming up, I wanted to be sure to at least give Kallo a challange. Cyprias was nice enough to kick my butt for a bit to show me what works and what doesn't work in Brenner. I still have more ideas I need to practice and see how they work. It is very interesting to see what counters what and how even the useless moves come into play. Can't wait! Oh yeah, and Cyprias beat me 2-1 ~.~;

After recieving a tell from the amazing kitty known as Hye that Biast was up, me and Hye ran out and decided to give the mob a try. With the super buffs and enfeebles from Hye, and the speed of my little daggers, the dragon gave us almost no troubles at all. It did petrify me a few times, but a kind whm watching the fight cured it. Probrably just really wanted the ToD XD. We didn't get the drop but it was nice to chat with Hye and get a little gil in our pockets. Next time Hye! For sure ^^b.

Decided to do a little more campaign to also practice for the fight. The way I see it, equipment can only take your character so far. Sure, having 2X as much +dex is gonna be noticeable, but if you miss your SA, TA, or can't control hate in a party, well, your stats are not gonna be able to help you out all that much. What I have always loved about thief is the movement and importance of positioning of yourself in the party. Unlike some DD that just stand there and press a button now and then, thieves actions have to be fluid throughout the whole fight. Standing behind for SA and your accuracy boosts. Getting behind a tank or DD to ensure hate stays on a specific person. Or side stepping to grab hate off a mage. Although the numbers are not super duper wow amazing, thief is still in my opinion the most amazing blueberry pancake job there is. Alone they're not the greatest thing for breakfast, but when ya mix em together they're sure darn tasty.

Anyhoo, back to campaign! I decided to help the Bastok front since it appears they are the most heavily hit. Fighting them for the first time, I understand why Bastok is having trouble pushing back the quadavs. Unlike the yagudos who are super squishy, quadavs tank incredibly well. Most of my hits from a dagger barely hit them for anything and I can almost never get enough TP off the darn things. Luckily the beasts the quadavs bring are squishy enough and I was actually able to solo a wyvern with just the help of my bolts. A very challanging yet fun experience. That and its always fun shooting mobs through those little slits. Yay for walls that protect you for two seconds! XD

My most difficult training so far is solo farming in sea. Sharks are quite random on their difficulty ranging from not even landing a hit on me to killing me. Depending on what moves they use and how often their hits land, I can solo them with little to a crud ton of trouble. I literally fought a shark that didn't hit me once, and the next one then had 10 straight hits in which I couldn't even get utsu back up. Great mob to practice thief on though. You have to count your shadows, have your fingers ready to steal it's shock spikes if they get em up, and you have to be decent with your crossbow. I'm actually trying to farm me up a breeze gorget. Cyprias helped quite a bit but I'm still three shark and one UFO organ short. I'll probrably need help killing the UFO but it shouldn't be too hard finding peeps to kill one ^^.

Welp, thats my little update for today. I changed the music again and this time put on a whole album! I saw these peeps in concert and they were really really good. Who knew connecting electric guitars to gameboys and super nintendos would make good music. Anyhoo, their music probrably isn't for everyone, but their little beeps and boops have been cheering me up lately and I hope they work for you as well. ^^
