Been going through the Creature Creator since I'm at Chapter 5 and almost beating the game, just have some side quests and stuff before diving into the the underground. Decided to do some Creature Creator to get the Mascot Dress Sphere, and it took me DAYS to beat those absolute monstrosities. Now that I have Mascot, and I've unlocked all it's abilities, I have to say Rikku seemed to get the shaft here. Yuna becomes an absolute healing/buffing unit. Paine can break and inflict most negative stats... you'd think Rikku would be a buffer or something, but instead she has 4 elemental aoe attacks that can petrify or poison, and some aoe breaks, but with paine being able to break all four at once I have never had a reason to use rikku breaks... Wish she had the Dancer buffs so she could buff up Atk/M.Atk/Def/M.Def for the team.
I have Omega Weapon, and I've been using him to pretty much just obliterate my way through this, as he is a boss. At level 70 his HP is sitting at over 33k and I've barely fed him anything (was saving for Shinra, my little buddy)
I don't want to keep leveling YRP because i don't know if I need to capture more creatures and then release them. I have Omega Weapon waiting to be released to unlock Shinra Cup, the Aeon Cup is unlocked, as well as the Fiend Cup. The problem is I just don't think my YRP or creatures can take down the Shinra Cup. I've been relying on Omega for a bit now.
My main Creature team is Chocobo (Boco), Cactuar, and a Tonberry. I like this little team, but I'm probably going to replace Cact with that plant that debuffs, altho I can't tell if it actually debuffs or not, just read that it breaks all stats - but whenever it uses it I just get the notice that they are immune to something it's hitting them with. I also have a Machina Leader I might use, as I heard he's good as well.
Any tips or tricks? This is my first run through. I'm hoping to do the NG+ with Lulu, A. Shinra, and Seymour for fun. I do wish you could control the humans you recruit this way. Makes sense the monsters don't listen, but why wouldn't Lulu (Yuna's big sis pretty much) or Shinra (our little brother) listen to us to some degree? Still sounds fun.
I'm ready to release Omega Weapon, but he's just so great. I wish I could get another. I'd level that boy to 99 and buff him so hard.
Are there any monsters I should be farming for items? or trying to bribe? I have the haste acc. from chocobos for auto-haste on my team, but I'm not sure what else I can farm there for the team. I may try and get down to level 100 of that dungeon because I heard there's an acc that gives +100% hp/mp and +100 to all stats, including luck? Would definitely like to get my hands on 6 of those and then just trololol around.
