Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I gotta find a faster way to deal with him. Ridiculous.
Free Lunch+Amped Strike, and having another character Mimic the Amped Strike is just so good. My last setup before gamebreaking jumping Ninjas was
Swordmaster/Pirate - Edea
Dark Knight/Freelancer - Ringabel
Spirit Master/White Mage - Agnes
????/????? - Tiz.
Poor Tiz. I switched him around so much, I just couldn't decide on what to make him. I wanted to make him a Vampire, but none of the genomes are worth casting.
though tbh my Ninja Edea w/ Acrobatics crescent moonx2 everything ever has worked fairly well so far.
Well, it's not so much that they aren't worth it, as that it falls into the trap of jack of all trades. I mean, Hellfire, etc. are really nice for blowing through groups, weaknesses, etc...
I'd say the non-genome skills are stronger though. Blood Thirst is useful, Magic Thirst is amazing, and drain stats is a nice way to start a 4x brave (drain phys atk off a physical boss, then unload).

It has a 1 slot support skill that gives dead characters a 50% chance of reviving at the end of every turn with no limit or cooldown. Which is pretty nice. But the genomes their selves aren't really worth it. The drains in my opinion aren't worth it either, they have a 1 slot ability that buffs them, but even at level 99 with nice Chapter 7 stolen gear, Tiz was just doing around 3k with Blood Thirst. Kind of a waste of a turn when I could do any number of things that would do twice as much damage and just have Agnes cast Cura to heal everyone by 4k or so.
But I suppose Sword Magic offers that anyways.

Well there are
It just made Ringabel fall head over heels in love with Edea
What does that status even mean
What is this thing
I'm scared
At a whopping 99Mp per cast and no way outside of a Gold Hairpin to lower it. The only way to make them effective is to put Vampirism as a secondary on a Black Mage or an Arcanist, maybe a Conjurer with Genome Boost and MP Restore and Absorb MP. I think those jobs could get more for less with other combinations.
Free Lunch, man. In fact I just did that to kill lvl 80 Belphegor. I was just going to write up the method, which is awesome.
And... Uh... a Japanese Nemesis. Level 99. Looks like Beelzebub, the duration was 1/1/2014 - 1/1/2104, and it was sent over by Seabass. I've set it as my send if anyone else wants it.
Be Mine; White Fox, another level 99 Nemesis.
Edit: Uh, that's NOT a Beelzebub. It's some Samurai. I'm guessing it's a boss from later in the game? 1.2 Million HP. Holy christ.
Edit 2:
Name is 「お正月限定：蛸泉」. Limitation at New Year: Octopus Fountain / January Limited Edition: Octopus Spring
Apparently it drops a special stat seed called a "Transcendence giving bun."
BP Recovery even works when re-applying a status effect you already have, so poisoning your whole team 3 times every round is amazingly effective.
So to kill Belphegor, I set up my team as above. My other two characters were:
Vampire/Swordmaster
Support: BP Recovery, Phantom Weapon, M. Attack 10% Up
They both had int-increasing equipment and accessories. Everyone had Iceflame Shields to help prevent some initial damage from Belphegor if possible, and make sure you don't have any null-poison stuff equipped.
Once I got set up, I was able to kill him on auto. It was ridiculous.
First turn:
Squeaky Wheeler uses Prayer
Poisoner braves 3x, poisons allies 3x, esunas allies
Other two default
Every other turn:
Squeaky Wheeler braves 3x, Squeaky Wheel, Mimic self 3x
Poisoner braves 3x, poisons allies 3x, esunas allies
Other two brave 3x, Free Lunch, cast each -ja spell in order of Belphegor's weakness
Badass.
Edit: Figured I should put that in spoilers. Probably a better idea.
Don't ever brave such that your characters will miss one or more turns. That way even if he kills your healer, someone else can use a phoenix down on them. In fact you may want to keep a BP in reserve too so the revived person doesn't miss a turn either. Stay defaulted and he'll only ever kill one person at a time, as long as you keep Enigma up from spiritmaster to block all the dark damage.
Save up some specials. When he gets to the point where he's about to Minus Strike, unleash the fury. You will kill him before he can level it at you if your'e careful.
I don't know, the (Ch. 3 spoilers)
was pretty dark.

And I FORGOT TO TURN EXP BACK ON AGAIN AAAAAARGH
I'll say it again: The game borrows more from FF5 than just the job system and FF5 has one of the highest if not the highest count of supporting characters dying in a FF game.

Something I have done dozens of times in this game: Gone into a boss fight and suddenly realized "AAAAARGH I FORGOT TO _________"
FF2 and 4 (the two separate games) are pretty damn bad too!
FF2 is ridiculous. Are open spoilers about an ancient game alright? Well, whatever.
You play most of the game getting guest characters in your party for brief dungeons and they just about all die. So much so that Square made a spinoff side-game in the GBA release about those characters' adventures in hell.
They all drop at least one type of permanent stat-boosting bun, but every time you obtain the same Nemesis again and kill them, the chance of getting another bun from that particular Nemesis seems to go down.
Some Nemeses can drop 2 different buns, and I'd advise everyone to re-fight them until you get both at once, because it's just going to get tougher to get anything at all from them after that point.
If I had to guess I would say it's something like 80% chance of drop, then 40%, then 20%, then 10%, then no drop. I've re-fought lvl 10 Beelzebub probably 20 times with no drops.
And it also seems like different levels of the same Nemesis have the same chance of a drop as the lower leveled version, as I've fought lvl 99 Beelzebub 3 or 4 times with no drops either, like he inherited the chance of drop from his lvl 10 cousin.
But...I've also killed several lvl 20 Belphegors, and it wasn't too tough to get a drop from the lvl 99 one. So I really don't know.
Like I'm not sure if it's better to have "My brother died saving me and now I'm all alone" or "My brother didn't die saving me and we're going to rebuild Norende together and be happy but then he suddenly abandoned me forever".
Why isn't there a "Go see them one more time and give them words of encouragement and a cryptic goodbye for some goddamn closure at least" option for the party?
I dunno, I've probably fought Beelzebub like 40 times total and this is the pattern I've seen. Dropped all the time when I was first killing him, and now I can't get it to drop at all. Lots of other people online say the same thing too.
I just wish I knew precise data. Like, am I at the point where there's a 1% drop.
I have only level 99 nemesis in my town with super crazy skills, there's no way I can beat them.

Your jobs can't permanently influence your stats, but they modify them based on job level. The same character at the same level will have worse stats with a low level job than a high level job.
That said, don't be afraid to switch jobs often, as experimenting with different jobs and combos and leveling up for new support abilities is what this game is all about, and the jobs will level up relatively quickly at low job levels.
Just don't switch jobs immediately before a boss fight without grinding a little bit.

Fireball's the one that was hitting 9999 for me. You can get it in Chapter 7 too fortunately.
