FF Tactics Max Stats Guide Mime (part 1/5: phase 1)

Having 999 HP, 999 MP, a speed of 50, a physical attack of 99, and a magic attack of 99 seems like you'd have to use a Gameshark or the related in order to have. It turns out that it's entirely possible to have such stats without cheating, rather, exploiting a weakness/design flaw in the game. When the stat-raiser is a mime, used to raise magic attack (the only worthy way to do so), the process for phase 1 is unchanged but phase 2 is significantly different. The nature of the mime is what makes it so bad and annoying but there is a way to work around some of these annoyances and limitations. Despite being the most crippling status effect, frog on the mime works wonders! It is advised that you don't go all the way out to level 99 with 99 exp - this can take a very long time. Level 77 is the best stopping point for a good balance between time spent leveling and stat bonuses. Going further takes longer, but you'll need fewer cycles' worth to max out magic attack. As an extra tip, consider ending phase 1 on level 2 instead of level 1. It'll make the setup go a bit faster.

[MrFAMU7]

I am attempting to delevel today, is there a blog or something where I can share all my characters with other fft gamers?

[ulillillia]

I actually have absolutely no idea on that kind of thing - I don't bother with them because I'm not interested in them.

Mathematicians seem to have the worst stats.

Wouldn't they be better to level down with than bard or dancer or chemist?

[ulillillia]

Base stats are not the same as growth. The calculator's speed may be very low, but it grows fairly well (not as good as the thief or especially the ninja though). The bard and dancer are the best for the downleveling because they have horrible stat growth, even worse than the chemist.

love this game!

[RemiliaVampire]

how old is ramza lol? (in brave story) like 24? :P

[Restarter000]

Haha I can't stop laughing at you voice. No offence. Idk where the lvl down trap is there

[Sora12321Roxas]

It should. It's just a port of the original game.

Don't disable the enemies? Steal every piece of equipment from every enemy before defeating them? I find having disabled enemies (hilarious sleeping frogs) and stat-maxing more entertaining.

Nice.... think most i ever got up to was maybe around 80 hours... im playing it again and i find the battle to be very easy... is there a way enhance to battle to make it more challenging i suppose, a game shark code would be needed? right?
