My Yojimbo is too powerful... - Page 4

Yes but for additional boost you need to increase the attributes of your Aeons.

Valefor is built for speed and magic but with the attribute system he/she can just as easily be a tank or a defender, it depends on where you want to prioritise.

I only ever really used Yojimbo when I first got him, then again at the end on my way through the Monster Arena. In the end when I faced really hard bosses like Ultima Buster and Nemesis, I just used him as a sacrifice after I'd get in one hit of 99,999 with him on the enemy. Yojimbo probably hated me in FFX.

My Yojimbo takes away 99,999 hp from an enemy even if I pay him 4 gil!

Yojimbo's character is excellent. Not only does he look great, and play great, but the fact its all a gamble does not exactly make him unstopabble. Besides, I guess he does come in handy too often and thats not a bad thing for when you really need Zanmato.

At the end of the day, he's very, very useful.

Actually that isn't the case. The more you pay him the higher his motivation will be (think of that as his "base" motivtion). That is then put into a formula with several other factors (Enemies Zanmato resistence, the amount you pay him and compatability). There is only 1 random factor, and that is the game picks a number between 0 and 63 and adds that to the motivation.

If, at the end of the formula, the motivation is 80 or higher, he will use Zanmato.

This should explain it better than me: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/197344/24392

The topic is over a year old.
Anyway, Zanmato increases your compatibility rate with Yojimbo, as does Wakazashi. ^
However, compatibility accounts for a low increase in chance anyway - motivation and resistance level are the two most important factors.

i personally never liked yojimbo. not only do you have to pay like 200k gil to get him, one time i payed him around 1.5 million gil(after a lot of training) expecting him to use zanmatto (due to the extremely high amount) and he just used the dog attack! that was all the gil i had and i was fighting that ass of a boss seymore ominous and this was going to decide who won!!! from then on i never used him. by the looks of things that stoped the game from being boring for me so yay

Yojimbos power is a hassel if you want a proper fight but it can be used correctly.

Also you have to build up massive exp for Yojimbo for him to use Zanmato and such on powerful enemeis. Everytime Yojimbo uses a move you either get plus or minus special exp and the more of this hidden exp you have the more likely Yojimbo is to use Zanmato on weak enemeis.

Uh, here's a solution...Just don't use him?

On my first save I always used him for bosses so I made a second save and didn't get him until I wanted to get Anima and the Magnus Sisters. >.>
