In this battle I only used three characters. The gambits were able to keep the three main parties alive till the very end. The only problem was that Yiazmat's level doubled and that made his attacks more powerful. As a result, it took a longer time to take down three bars in this auto battle. I took naps through most of the battle and just had to switch the party leader around if he was not revived quickly.
In the end of the battle video part 2, you will see the gambits I used. Notice I placed Foe status: HP critical...Attack above all the buffs so that the characters will automatically concentrate on attacking, healing and reviving only, instead of wasting time with buffs. That was one of the main problems with the first attempt. I failed miserably at the end because the characters kept concentrating on buffs and wasted mp and time. The battle took 2 hours and 5 minutes total with only dark blades and 3 characters. I made sure at least one person was immune to stop in order to prevent the whole party from being inflicted with stop.
I'm not sure if Balthier in Berserk mode was necessary o.O
The challenge is to setup gambits and make them win battles. Once in battle, menus and any other action are not allowed. Gambits can only be changed in towns and at save crystals.
kinda reminds me of that one mob from ffx in the monsterfarm.....btw why do you use penelo as your "teamcaptain" in the speed runs? is it a preference or is there a reason?i just started playing the game again..just din't like it the first time around ^^

Because I want her to stay alive so she can do most of the curing, healing, buffing. I wanted her to stay out of sight from most of the bosses and let Basch and the other damage dealer work on building hate towards them.Also, since she knows most of the magic abilities, it's easier to control her and manually use any other abilities to heal the party.

random question, while facing yiazmat, do you ever go back to the save point?
