Unless you're spending time "raising" nearly all your clan members, doing that many at a time (while you're still doing normal missions) isn't very realistic.

When you get farther in the failure rate really starts increasing, so you just can't use any new clan member.

But yea I agree, when I heard "300 missions" I was expecting them to be of the traditional "fight it out" variety, and not including the dispatch missions.

I have the Anti-laws, you can only hold so many of those, and most don't apply. I have to go trade the weak ones in for the good ones, since you get at least 1-2 after every dispatch mission completion.

I have 24 people in my clan so far, and most of those are jobs that I already have. I could send 12 out on dispatch missions (though you must complete some to get items to do others) and still have twice as many as needed to enter any fight.

Having dispatch missions that almost anyone can do, and then giving you person after person in the clan is silly. There never is a need to send anyone that you would miss on one of them. You can just send one of the new recruits.

I've had one person die one time, and then revived them, and I'm not exactly at the beginning. I've got 12 towns planted and completed and have yet to lose a single fight.

Yep. I just don't have as big a problem with the laws, or atleast they haven't seemed to be that big a deal for me.

The only two (at 16 hours in) that I saw as being a problem were the "don't use a specific weapon type" and the "no fighting" laws...until I realized that neither have an effect on abilities.

I've actually been turning people away 'cause I have so many repeating jobs/characters.

Nearly all my surplus clan members "sit down" (meaning a poor ability dispatch compeletion result) when you check their ability to successfully finish a dispatch mission.

I think I've been using 9 or 10 (with about five being lower levels than the others) characters, so for me, I can only realistically maybe be doing 3 dispatch missions at a time.

Like I say, the easiest way to do it is to accept anyone into the clan, and then send them on the Dispatch missions.

You never miss if you look at them before you send them.

They jump, they will suceed.
They do nothing, it's 50-50.
They slump down, they will fail.

I don't even use any healers anymore, the battles don't last long enough for my 5-6 people to get whittled down.

I do need to pick up some counter attacks, somehow. Not quite sure how to get that ability.

My interest in this game has gone from little to great over the course of this night.

The Moogle design for this game is the best of any Final Fantasy I've ever seen. Of course, I've no idea what the Crystal Chronicles Moogles look like, so this statement might be premature.

actually veg,i was just thinking, if they used these races in ff11, rather than those cheesy elves, teddy bears and 2 furrys i would be there in a heartbeat the only problem i would have would be deciding wether to be a bangaah or a nu mou.

While overall I love the art style this game has (among other things), I have to say I prefer the "classic" FF6 Mog-style Moogle. In my opinion, that's how they should look... the ones in FFTA strike me as odd.

Well, I'd be a Moogle. A Moogle Juggler to be precise.

Me too. Which is exactly why I like them.

Those teddy bears pwn :(

Yeah, the tarutaru look ok, but the nu mou as the dominant casters walk all over the tarus. they have a cool dark crystal vibe. i almost hope something hits a big system with those races, because the art is so much cooler than the gba can show in this format. i want to see fully drawn numous and bangaahs( and lest i be misunderstood, the moogles and viera look cool too, particularly the viera red mage.)

They have more of the original look when they are on the battlefield. It's the potraits that look wonky.

They look good, but like Noface I prefer the "classic" stylings.
