My Twincasted Rosa and Cecil will only do Pyroblast What am I doing wrong?
I think that any time you use Twincast its supposed to randomly do Pyroblast, Comet, or a special spell depending on who is doing it. (special attacks in spoilers for to much damned text)

...but it seems to be a bit buggy... I always seem to get the special spell, and not comet/pyroblast.
Bahamut casts reflect on himself and then bounces the Megaflare. :P
diabolical.
Yeah I figured he'd do something different though, the book in the summoned monster town that used to hint to use reflect now says something different (Basically have Kain jump to avoid it I think)
Best character in the universe, Rydia, has come back from hiatus to save my sorry ass, packing a thousand Eidolons and new spells!
And she's older and is packing a whip! :winky:
See, I felt this particular moment was key for FF4, because....
You have to resurrect 3/5 of your party, while getting bombarded by spells, having a boss that changes his elemental alignment, and casts really strong spells. It's not tough, but if you don't act and use the assets available to you, then you're dead. Pretty much signifies rising up to meet the challenge if I've ever seen it.
Take that Leviathan! God, I must have died 6 times. I can't imagine having done it without Dual Cast Rosa. Pretty much Cecil/Rosa healed and made sure Rydia lived to cast Ramuh a bunch. That seem to be everyone else's strategy?

By the time I got to him Rosa could to full party heals anyways... Especially if Edge died. :P

I had to kill him before he got to the second casting of Tidal Wave or whatever it's called. I didn't have dualcast but went all out damage as soon as I got everyone up.
so im in the sealed cave and im about level 53-4ish, am i doing good? i haven't got this far on a version of ff4 before, not since the original way back when. i also haven't done any "grinding" yet i see people going to the moon with less levels.. how.. unless all that exploring getting 100% on each dungeon map paid off..
Sealed cave is actually not so bad this time around, especially not at those levels. If you don't feel ready you can do one of the two sidequest dungeons in the underground to level.

i didnt know there were sidequest dungeons..
i hate those fuckers with blaze, i get two of them and its a race against time and chance because if they both cast blaze one after the other im fucked.
Tella, the Twins, and now Yang. Everybody is dying all over the place! Is this game from before they invented the party-switching RPG mechanic?!?!?
Am I forgetting somebody? I probably am. But since the Twins and Yang died, it seems I can't go by the character list in the manual. This is like ep.1 of The Tower of Druaga anime.
Hay guys, when this is over I'm getting married--OH SHI
So many of you missed out on such a quality game in your childhood, and the fact that there are so many surprises to you- why... I can almost see a sparkle in your eyes.
To answer your question. Yes, there were no party-switching mechanics in FFIV. It is VERY story based, so the characters are very set. In the GBA version, you could switch your party at the end. It was stupid.

Specially because it's very much hinted at that
Yang, Cid and Gilbert or whatever were all permanently crippled
Odd that they would take up their tools/instruments and join the fight later on.
Also, somehow I'm DOMINATING in this game. I ran all the way to Feymarch and got Asura and then ran all the way down Sylph Cave hoarding equipment before getting to the Sealed Cave. The only thing I had to worry about was getting two Chimerae. Anything else, including those stupid doors, couldn't touch me.
The doors are hella easy in this game if you have provoke.
Cecil is extremely resistant or immune to insta death by the time you get there. Hell if your levels are right he should die before it even becomes a problem.

That's what happened to me. All the doors would lock on and Ninth Dimension Cecil, but there'd be no effect.
Could've been a combination of Aegis Shield, Defender, or Cecil just rollin' like that.

Giving bad augments to good characters can yield very good results.

I'm hitting the Tower of Babil 2 and so far I don't think Cecil's been hit by anything like that since becoming a pally. It's either "No Effect" or "Miss" and I sure as hell don't have any special gear on him. I think he's been maybe insta-deathed once or twice the entire game so far and that's including time as a dark knight. I think he has a lot of inharent resistence to status effects.
Also, note that the ninth dimension is reflectable. So Cecil with provoke and then cast reflect on him instantly eases up all door battles.
No shit? I could've used that information the first time I played FF4 hardtype. Jesus Christ were those doors a bitch. Fighting them was a combination of "ohshitohshitattackjumpquakeberserk shit shit shit SHITTTTTT"" then I'd run out of Phoenix Downs because it killed Rosa AGAIN.
i never checked the older versions to see about 9th dimension/reflect. I just found it out randomly after fucking around with the doors in this ds version
Aegis shield makes you immune to death, stone, and other sorts of instant death attacks. So all you have to do is give it to Cecil along with draw attack, and then do whatever you want before the door transforms into something else.

If you kill it with a strong enough attack (by letting it get down to 1-2k health left then killing it) it won't even transform. They only transform if they fall to near death HP.
.. trip to the moon. God the flans are incredibly annoying in this version. I believe they double attack, or atleast get 2 attacks in by the time one of your party members gets one. I can't wait for the descent to the core. woop woop!
That's why you use counter, and kick if you have it. I usually have Cecil just brace to reduce the damage he takes, and then let the counter attacks do the damage.

You're doing it wrong.
In all fairness, giving Item Lore to Porom/Palom IS a waste, seeing how an Item Lore'd Rydia using Stardust Rod can hit for 9999 on all enemies.
That's 9999, no MP, all enemies, split-second casting.

When we say provoke, do we mean "draw attacks" because I'm using that right now on Cecil, and I can't seem to find any listing for a provoke augment.

The idea of switching up how boss fights work is cool, though.
