Does your characters have these quickenings:

Vaan - Red Spiral, White Whorl and Pyroclasm
Balthier - Fires of War, Tides of Fate and Element of Treachery
Fran - Feral Strike, Whip Kick and Shatterheart
Basch - Fulminating Darkness, Ruin Impendent and Flame Purge
Ashe - Northswain's Glow, Heaven's Wrath and Maelstrom's Bolt
Penelo - Intercession, Evanensce and Rasplendence

Just wondering if they have.
 
Yes all my characters have those exact quickenings they all have unique quickenings but when you get one off the license board the square is no oonger available to other characters and therefore you have to find the other quickenings if im wrong please correct me anyone
 
yes i have them because that is what they are designated to learn
and yeah your right^
 
I got them pretty early in the game actually. but one thing that bothers me is, I've used quickenings on every single boss I've fought. And they die right away. thing is, I would like to enjoy the battles more, but the bosses kill me unless I use quickenings. does this happen to y'all as well?
 
That's the beauty of FFXII. Every boss pushes you to your absolute limit, and chances are, you'll be killed many times. The only way that doesn't happen is through having insanely long chains of Quickenings

i usually try to put down half of the bosses' hp and then if im getting a bad beating, only then I use quickenings.

Same, although my limit is probably two thirds of their HP remaining. The Garuda gave me more trouble than any of them though, solely because my physical attacks kept missing. Gutted.
 
I NEVER use quickenings anymore. i used them early on when my magic was weak (fire thunder etc) but now i save my MP given i can do more damage in the long term by casting stronger magic. Plus this means a longer more tactical (and therfore more enjoyable) battle.
 
When I started playing the game, I made a direct path towards them in order to boost up my MP like crazy, doubling and tripling it essentially. I've beaten teh game almost 3 months ago so yeah, I've got all those Quickenings.
 
later on my quickenings only do like 30k or something like that lol
waste of mp against harder enemies which you couldve used for hasteagaand protectaga and renew
 
Well if you get enough practice and a bit of luck you can pull off ark blast pretty easily and whiteout with a bit of extra luck, Black Hole is next to impossible for me though...I think I got it once, they aren't very mist-efficient but on the plus side they do have great burst damage. For example if a boss is at very low HP and you think he's about to use a paling or something you can try to chain together a huge quickening and with luck finish it off, they're also useful in later fights when you have MP sap on (ultima for example) or if the boss drains your magic often with fear.
 
quickening are only used to kill bosses in the end when they go crazy at hp critical status otherwise they are a waste of mp
