I actually think that discovering strong/op party setups is one of the strengths of the game, it's the same kinda system that can break FF: Tactics, Disgaea or even the original Guild Wars as it actually involves some planning/experimentation and setup. On the flipside, if you have a single player RPG that's too balanced/strict, you can end up with a boring system (See: The Banner Saga).

My Party:
Tiz: Ninja w/ Pirate - Has Turn Tables, Transience, Comeback kid can usually nab an extra BP from evades to squeeze in a Piracy skill. Just have him Kairai to control aggro and the Usutsemi if it's not up. Kairai + Utsusemi + Transience + Turn Tables works very well against those that can counterattack.

Agnes: Singer w/ Spiritmaster - Straight up Support and BP control. Stacks up enough BP and distributes them (usually to Edea or Tiz). If needed can use Stillness for a breather or a damage rush as Agnes will always act after Tiz and Ringabel or have x4 Adaptation and have Ringabel below spam Dark Nebula for Heals/Damage.

Ringabel: Dark Knight w/ Monk - Phoenix Flight/Rage and Minus Strike if you need fast Damage, but can also Tank by setting him on default and having Tiz forcing enemies to attack him. Utilize him to wipe groups with Dark Nebula, which also heals everyone to full if Agnes uses Adaptation. When using Dark Nebula, make sure Tiz isnt set to Utsusemi so Tiz can absorb the damage.

Edea: White Mage /w Black Magic. Everyone in my Party has BP Recovery (gives +2BP upon getting a status on them, it costs 1 skill point). I basically have Edea casting Status effects myself (that arent to impactful on a character eg. Silence on Tiz) then clearing them on the same turn with Esunaga. Other than that, basically a general healer and Debuffer.

I've been doing the Norende bosses and beat a Level 70 Lucifer the other day with this setup with everyone at level 71.

There's only 2 endings i think. You can break the crystal. You can do so after chapter 6. But on Chapter 7 the Side missions seem worthwhile and challenging as you get to fight 3 of them at once and get some good gear from beating them (and stealing from them), theres some charming dialogue too that mixes things up.

i dont have all the jobs maxed. Only maxed the ones I wanted or used. My setup is kinda strong and fun to use. But if you want to use the troll Dark Nebula skill I sent over spotpass, then be my guest.

Wow, nice setup. Utsusemi isn't a passive move though is it?

Also how do you break the crystal? I tried for ages and gave up 2 minutes after Ariy's last "warning"

Been playing PLants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare quite a bit. Certainly hammered home the Xbox ONe's uselessness when trying to record screenshots or video content and upload anywhere other than their own system :S PS4 certainly makes it easier.

Guess my Elgato Capture Card will be updated soons o I won't have to worry about using either of their proprietary systems :)

Anyway it's a cracker of a game. Loads of fun, balanced and fairly unique. Pretty limited though with only three game mdoes so really only great for those who are a fan of MP or PvZ. Review here if interested

http://stevivor.com/review/plants-vs-zombies-garden-warfare/

This was my first time getting a game pre launch so I could review it for launch day. Speaking with EA staff, being told about embargo, getting into the EA press extranet and dealing directly with the team there when server issues ensued was all quite exciting I must say. Downside is now my account's been given a clean slate so I have to level evreything up again but hey, it's a fair price to pay :D

I prolly should have mentioned that in the review. No bots. That was part of my problem with the lobby system. No customisation really, just pick a mode and find match

just keep going. Airy will eventually say stop in a really cold manner. Then events happen thereafter.

Utsusemi is a Ninjitsu skill. Costs 0MP and 0BP (hence why it's stronk).

Haha, I loved that challenge. I got up to that at about ten o'clock one night and didn't realise how difficult it would be. I played it til about three am and still couldn't pass it. Ended up passing it as soon as I woke up. Great game.
