That's sort of what I thought, but the confusing part is the last chunk of the second paragraph.

Why can't my black chocobo benefit from my regular? What is the indicator on my screen to show me this explicitly? And on some boards, I've noticed a transfig spot and a mirage board slot. What's the difference there?

Ok so you're in the menu and you hit Mirage Boards and then pick a Mirage. You go to a screen with one-four mirages displayed inside these cubes that reflect their sizes. All of those boards are active at once. I think you can hit triangle on that cube screen to see the ability list? Anything that shows up on the ability list crosses between transfigs (except form-specific green abilities).

But then if you go to the Mirage Case and transig a Mirage, sometimes you'll have options that aren't on that cubes page. If you transfig to one of those and then check the Mirage Board screen, you'll see a different set of cubes and forms.

Can anyone tell me how much longer I have to go?

Chapter 21 I believe, doing the intervetion story quests to kill the cogna the twins let in. Getting a little bored as I've had all the fights on auto using basic attacks for almost the entire game and I didn't even spend any time leveling. =

That's not really post game yet.

Try different interventions, the princesses, whatever the hardest dungeon is currently available.

You'll get it back in the actual post game. Postscript has a confusing name, it's really another chapter l. Just find an intervention you can consistently beat.

I'm level 55 and I chipped away tediously for 20 minutes until it decided to stun and knock down my stacks and attracked and killed everyone before I could do anything. The difficulty curve on this game is garbage. No challenge whatsoever in the main quest, and then after the bad ending the extra stuff is way too hard. I gave up.

I think I found an easy one, I'm going to keep clearing the rest of the quests to see if something even easier comes up. Thanks

 

[ZeroX03]

I'm so confused as to what people are thinking is hard? None of the bosses are hard, even the final boss is only tough due to inflicting statuses. If you protect against them beforehand it's just as easy. I think I beat all the interventions around 60?

If an enemy has an elemental weakness, use some items if you're struggling for a quick kill.

ZeroX03 has the right idea. I religiously use spellstones and their lesser forms against enemies. For the Pleaid Intervention quests just make sure you set your stacks up to at least be immune/resistant (resist of at least 100) to their element. Even better if you absorb their element most will be a cake walk.

I had the same issue my first fight with

Leviathan

, he flat out destroyed me almost instantly, but mainly because I was rocking a Flame Dragon. Changed my stacks around to be resistant to water and he never stood a chance.

All interventions, catch the unique summons. You could probably do it if you're high enough level.

Oh yeah you should be able to do it in a couple of hours then.

If you don't want to have to retry the final boss:

bring dark/confuse/sleep resist on both teams.

That should be the only challenge for you really.

Are you playing the Japanese version?

I'm playing the JP version, and when you set the cutscene voices to English, the voice option for in-game banter automatically switches to off, and you can't change it.
I guess they didn't put the English in-game banter in the JP version for some reason.

Hey I felt overwhelmed towards the end as well because the serious tone of the story began to feel like a drag. After stopping for the night at Chapter 21 I came back the next evening and powered through every intervention left and it didn't take that much time. After that it's a straight shot to the final battle. I honesty considered stopping too but it wasn't so bad in the end.

 

[FantasticMrSnake]

You get the mementos from the coliseum

How? I fought a lot,

I have Ramuh's granddaughter, I fought Shiva and Ifrit

Chapter 19

Crystal Tower

is a bore. I'm finally at the end of it but have to do the

I've been consistent with my main party which is Fenrir and Black Nakk for Reynn and Behemoth and Tama for Lann. Every fight has been pretty easy with them.

I dunno what the trigger is but they're Level 55 battles. I did it right before walking through the open the Gate in the Crystal Tower but I dunno when they actually showed up on the list, I'd mostly ignored Colliseum until then.

The early parts of the game for me weren't tough they just required me to pay attention more

After I did the princess goblin intervention and tried to get Zapt and Fritt at "that area" and gain boat loads of EXP. I think I am over leveled.

My only problem is building stacks that are good to average and dealing with messing with my stack builds with Transfigurations.

I experimented with some and man did I mess with my defense and damage output on a few

OK, I think I get it.

So as long as I can see the other mirages when I select Mirage Board, any passive stat increase nodes or skill nodes (that aren't green) will be available to each transfiguration. What are the various Mirage Board nodes for? Like on the Zapt (M) board, there are transfigure nodes and at least one Mirage Board node. Not sure what that is?

E: Also got my Marlboro up and running last night. Is Bad Breath as OP as it is in other games, or is it kind of a bummer? Also is Cactuar any good? I've been leveling the base form Cactott or whatever, and he just seems bad. Like, super week and ineffective.

No, it's pretty garbage. Only targets one enemy and only seems to ever hit for a single status. Not worth leveling the Marlboro for imo.

[Valonquar]

Beat postscript, still gotta catch about 65 more mirages to have em all. Really disappointed they included multiple characters from some FFs and ignored 12/14/Tactics entirely. I guess they plan on more DLC, or WoFF-2 eventually if it did well enough.

Can't even have all the FF characters and the only DLC I've heard about is ... Sora -_-*

Played through with JP audio & NA subs. There are a LOT of places where they are clearly not saying what the subs say.

 

[Dawg]

Are there any Mirage recommendations for mid/late game or should I just go with whatever I like?

Using both Jiant twins atm. Reynn with Babyhemoth + Black chocochick and Lann with Affrite + Tama. Chapter 10 right now.

Beat the game yesterday, around 35 hours on the clock (game was running for a few hours though).
I liked it, but I really wish that if there's ever a sequel, they focus more on the Final Fantasy characters. Didn't really get the "catch them all" feeling, so I was rolling with my starting team for most of the game and switched a few mirages near the end.

Because of the tediousness of some dungeons, together with the small variety of enemies in each of them, I got really burned out on it near the end, so I'm not going to touch

Spoiler

three post game dungeons

.
It's interesting, that while the game had some good ideas, some parts of its design felt archaic even by JRPG standards. But maybe that's just because the last big JRPG I played was Persona 5, who knows.

I legit don't understand why they made the mini games in the story parts so fucking hard/unfun and then when you play them in your room they're like 10 times easier

thank god there is a true ending cause that shit was too sad... however I have no idea what to do now. The bar at the top says to get more mirages and get stronger but I'm level 62 already and Sera told me to meet her on the airship for gossip when I'm read but when I go there she isn't there...

I thought they were stupid but did people actually find them hard? I finished them all on my first try, the only one I had a close call with was the stupid desert thing where you had 3 people to move around to his invisible enemies.. got lucky and won with 1 hot remaining.

If you added her to one of your stacks she won't show up on the airship, thats what happened to me too.

Yep it's the same thing. Her missions are treated the same way. If you go back into the interventions menu after completing the mission, there should be a star next to the one you did, selecting the mission again claims your rewards
