Something about Edgar and Sabin no one has mentioned yet

Discussion

sure, Bioblaster is hella cool, and Rising Phoenix looks sweet, but have you seen their default Soul Breaks? They look pretty sweet if you ask me. I was pretty awed by the detail they put into the Auto Crossbow and Raging Fist, especially compared to FF6 on the GBA. Those particles look better than Cloud's default!

Autocrossbow also seems quite a bit more powerful than most default soul breaks, although I might have just been using it against really weak enemies.

It feels stronger than Oblivion, that's for sure.

1.3x and multi-target. Pretty good when compared to other damaging default SBs. Most single target SBs max out at 1.5x.

It did a solid 2.3k to all of the tentacles in the boss rush. It's one of the stronger default SBs imo.

Agree with you here. I am a very happy nostalgic player here because I spammed Auto-crossbow.

Shame that Sabin's wasn't Suplex as many had hoped... would ensue some major hilarity. :)

However, if they are smart, that will be his SSB. I will pull many gotcha's if I have to, for that one haha.

Even if they can't do it to the enemy sprites, just have a train come on to the screen, and have Sabin suplex that into the enemy :D

would have loved to see aura blast, it was one of my favorite sabin skill

Sabin's to me seems like a modernized combination of pummel and aura blast. I love it visually. I'll use it just to see it sometimes, unlike a lot of default SBs that I just ignore.

i wish they would remake FF6 advance to have those kind of animation(and keep it 2d, not that weird looking 3d shit they did with ff4).

FF4DS has many problems, but being 3D is not one of them.

MarinthaYou're not alone!•

I was actually leery of buying FF4 DS, but it was amazing. The voice acting was actually really good, the 3D looked stellar, and it included a lot of 'cut' story that wasn't in the original iterations.

I would definitely recommend it. =3

I've played it, loved the story, but cmt stand this kind of 3d for some reason

You already do see "Aura Blast" as we know it from FF6 - that last hit during Raging Fists, where he winds up, if you watch closely he finishes the combo with a ki blast reminiscent of Aura Blast.

We will be getting Aura Blast as a Monk Ability in a future update. :)

Still not aura blast :P, but it's nice to know it's comming soon as a monk skill.

Multiplier wise, they are the same as Cloud: Clouds 3x 0.5 multiplier, sabin is 1.5 and Edgar is 1.3.

Probably having RS or having a weapon with RS is tricking you, but those 2 SB are as strong as average default SB.

sheenaqotjHow am I not myself?•

Yes, but Edgar's is AOE.

I was thinking exactly the same and wanted to post about it. The details surely increased with time, which make me look forward to the coming ones ;)

Yeah, they look great. Hoping the visual improvement is a trend that continues with future characters.

Agreed, I was thinking that the other day. Pretty cool for defaults.

I think Sabin and Edgar might possibly have the strongest default physical SBs. Auto Crossbow and Raging Fist do A LOT more damage as compared to any other default physical SB, with and without Record Synergy.

They look fantastic, but sadly, the damage multipliers are made intentionally weak... Really is unfortunate that they make default offensive SBs so pitiful on purpose. Sure, the AoE Crossbow, like Oblivion, can be useful in crowds... but otherwise, you're more often better off using Double Cut, or some 3/4* Offensive Ability.

Edit: Look at the multipliers for the majority of default SBs. Typically, they're around 1.2/3 for AoE, and at best 1.6 for Single-Target. SBs also have a longer cast time. Compare that to 2*.9 or 1.8 on Double Cut, or the 1.7 on the 3* Break/Busters. See this if you don't believe it.

Sabin's default SB is crazy cool, it's not like Tifa's running and hitting, it's a real combo, like if I watched Hokuto no Ken.
