FF Tactics Max Stats Guide Mime (part 4/5: notes and tips)

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.

where can i find a move-find item guide?

[ulillillia]

GameFAQs is the only place. I almost never use move-find item because I always get junk (potions, weak equipment, softs, etc.). It's extremely rare that I ever get hit by enemies in this game - I disable the enemies before they can even come (and as shown in the "rocket speed method" videos, defeated before they even get a turn because of my auto-hasted 50-speed Ramza with 4 maxed stats (magic attack is the only non-maxed one).

I used to have the strategy guide and I know there was some items in there that could ONLY be found that way -- such as the materia blade for cloud (that's an easy one though) but also some other ones...

I do love your guides though, pretty cool! Have you posted your 50 levels in 10 mins vids yet???

[ulillillia]

I've had the 50 levels in 10 minutes video up for quite a long time now and it's the featured video on my channel too. I've superceded this though - 70 in 10 minutes is possible (though 68 is my current record). I have yet to record this video - Disgaea took over, of which, after 300 hours of play, I got bored of.

Or just petrify...

Well, it'll be another 97 or so hours before I get to know whether or not I have Disgaea 2. The rocket speed method video is the last video of FFT. Having a pair of stat raisers would be the last video series I can think of for FFT, perhaps using one of my basics and a specialty like Agrias. Phase 1 is different in this case, but phase 2 is essentially the same.

I'm sure he could get some videos up before 2011, It took me almost 200 hours, but I was able to get Laharl reincarnated from 9999 twice in that time. Not max stats, but the base stats were through the roof.  I'm sure another 100 hours could bring about max stats.

[PirateInSpace]

But then we wouldn't see any new ulillillia videos until 2011...

You should try maxing out in Disgaea!
