hey there, so this is the first FF ive played where just a little more then halfway through the game i'm dishing out 30,000+ DAMAGE PER HIT!...

is everything just scaled up in this game? including enemys health? because im tossing around big guys in staggered stance like theyre feta cheese, seriously. ok i just got into disc 3 and im in the central expanse, farming CP off this king behamoth.. because i read somewhere thats a good way to farm cp (it is, trust me, 4000 cp every minute or so aint bad)

so im using Snow, Hope, Vinille, as COM-RAV-SAB, i get the jump on em to stagger em quick, and as soon as vinille gets the Deprotect Deshell and magic booster thing off my screen becomes a blur of numbers, well over 30,000 most of the time (highest ive seen was 65000 from hopes lightning:holyshit:)... its not just this guy, it keeps going. anytime i get the jump on a mob, its just a flash of huge numbers and everythings dead in one turn..


so my question is: is this normal?

my second question is: my damage isnt nearly this high without a sab in my team, and ill admit i had been ignoring sab for the longest time untill i read that strat that said use one to kill the king behemuth thingie, now i realize they are compleetly invaluable...

so now i have a problem. my party is: Snow, Hope, Vinille only because vinille is an amazing sab. Ide LIKE to put lightning back in my party, hope is (in my experience) a better healer AND ravager then vinille, and hes got synergist maxed out at the moment aswell... so where does Lightning fit? oh snow is just my favorite char in the game, hes not going anywhere
either.... :oops:

i digress: Does lightning make a decent Sabatur in Vinilles place?


now if someone wants to answer those questions for me thatd be awesome... you can stop reading here if your ready

if youde like more info on why i cant be more versatile keep reading

So snows my favorite, hands down, and he kicks ass, hes not going anywhere because im a stuborn jackass.. And ive gotten so used to using hope, i rely on his synergy and medics on every boss fight more then i care to admit (i just wish buffs lasted longer) and that left me in a pickle with lightning.. i LIKE her, and i WANT her to be the one in my group, but she just isnt cutting it. betoween the 3 roles shes got points in by default, com, rav, medic, ive already got those covered with the other two, and the only thing i use her as on a regular basis is a ravager and well... she sucks at it... ide like to see her in a comando position but then theres the fact that my snow is an amazing comando with a level 26 power circle his attacks are ripping people appart and when you have 2 commandos together they dont work, they attack different targers... so that leaves me with an underpowered ravager and an even worse medic. MY IDEA is to try and transform her up a bit, ill switch her weapon out for on with alot more magic and pump it up, give her some magic boosting accessories, farm some more cp and rock sab when necessary and ravager when going all out... medic in emergencies... that WOULD be nice. but i still feel like thats not lightning...

another thing that got my eye was there is the strike spells... do they benefit from strength? would it be viable to cap her in a str weapon and have her rock ravager that way?

or another idea im open too if not is to cap snows magic (or str if strikes benefit) and have him go rav and light go comando..

bah, sorry its early

WALL OF TEXT STAGGERS YOU AND HITS FOR 99,999 YOU DIE
 
No it does not you liar, stop lying 99,999 that couldnt hurt me you Liar! lol

Anyway Lightning does not have the best magic stat to be a SAB she is more cut out for COM RAV or MED the other roles are rally just for stat building and additional ACCE slots
for your item bonus.

I should really play this again.....

Edit: Yes High damage is very normal for this game its the better part of the Chain gauge vs the worst part it being on every enemy....annoying!
 
tl;dr... Yes, this is completely normal. If you look at some of the enemy's hp later on in the game, it's over a million. 30k damage will be nothing at that point! Except at that point, you'll probably have genji gloves and you'll be breaking 100k damage easily. :D
 
30000? I beat the game several days ago, forgot how many, and am dealing 99999 all the time using Fang's Highwind ability. :P

I've also dealt well over 30000 damage with some normal hits, while the enemy isn't even staggered. :awesome:
