Things Final Fantasy III does not tell you about Final Fantasy III.

When it comes to RPGs, information that the player has is far from a guarantee. Some games will tell players practically everything about their systems and leave it to the player to use that information. Others will leave some mechanics in the background, quietly applying them without the player's knowledge. The Final Fantasy III remake falls into the latter category, as there are some mechanics that the player may not realize even exist unless they look outside of the game. Here are seven of them.

This is based on the French Press Official Strategy Guide. As far as SGs go, it seems pretty close to the Japanese SE guide (baring at least one case).

Party Member Levels (Life of the Party)

While temporary party aren't directly controllable, they seem to have their own levels and stats. Interestingly the French Press strategy guide states that they also have stats. Though I should clarify: At this time, I have yet to find these in the Japanese strategy guide, so I am not entirely sure that these are accurate. However, the FP guide in general is close to the Japanese guide in terms of technical information, so I am willing to accept that risk.

These are:

Sara: Lv 5 (Str/Vit/Agi/Min: 6, Int: 7)

Cid: Lv 3 (Str/Agi: 5, Vit/Int/Min: 8)

Desch: Lv 10 (Str: 15, Vit: 10, Agi: 14, Int: 7, Min: 6

Aria: Lv 25 (All: 25)

Alus: Lv 30 (All: 35)

Doga/Unei: Lv 50 (All: 45)

Some observations:

The guide notes that the characters stats are usually significantly higher than the main characters' at the same levels. This is especially noticeable with Alus (The party's base stats, by compare, will be: Str/Agi: 24, Vit/Min/Int: 20)

Cid is the only party member to be weaker than the character before him (Sara), presumably due to how little time the party spends with him. He does have an impressively strong hammer, though.

Despite being portrayed as a White Mage, Sara's Int (7) is slightly higher than her Min (6).

It seems that after Desch, the devs kinda gave up with making varied stats, so Aria, Alus, Doga and Unei have the same number for all their stats.

Coincidence or otherwise, Aria's stat number also matches her level.

Doga and Unei share the same levels and stats as each other, a distinction no other party member has. For extra fun, Xande is also level 50, although his actual stats are unfortunately but understandably different.

Alus, a 10 year old boy is somehow twice as strong as Desch, a grown man.

Mognet Details (Stampin' N Stompin')

Most of Mognet's discussion usually begins and ends with it being connected to the sidequests. Because of this, there are a few features of Mognet that go undernoticed.

One particular aspect is the cards: For meeting the Legendary Smith with a mastered job and defeating the Iron Giant, the party can get cards signifying their mastery.

(I have yet to defeat the Iron Giant. I apologize for being a fraud).

In the PSP and Steam versions, these cards are mostly just rewards. In the DS version, however, they can be used as stamps for Mognet. And while the Iron Giant is purely to flaunt your superiority over the beast, the job mastery cards actually allow players to help out other players: If a player holding a signed letter runs into the Legendary Smith, she will give the player the respective job mastery item without having a level 99 job. While it doesn't break the game, due to how late it is before you can encounter the Smith, it does cut down on the grind you'd need if you wanted those items.

Encounter Frequency (Fights in the A.M. P.M. F.M.)

In Octopath Traveler, a later game by Team Asano, entering a new location will usually show you a danger level, giving you a general idea of how strong the enemies in that area are. While the mechanic is visible in OT, it was actually deployed discreetly in Final Fantasy III: Each area has a level that the guides recommend the player be at. However, the game itself uses a more subtle method: If your party is below the recommended level, the encounter rate will be higher than usual. By contrast, the further above the recommended level that the party is (up to six levels), the lower the encounter rate will be.

For example: The Nepto Shrine has a Danger Level of 10. If the party made it to the Shrine at level 7, then they will likely encounter more enemies than they would at level 10. By contrast, at level 16, they will have a chance at encountering the least amount of enemies.

Attack Types (SMASH! SLASH! STAB!)

In Final Fantasy III, elemental weaknesses are clear and easily implied by the fact that Mages have themed spells. However, the game also has a second, subtle weakness system: Attack Types, the physical counterpart.

The four attack types are

Unhanded: Despite the name, Claws are also included

Blow: Weapons that focus on slamming or bludgeoning the foe

Cut: Weapons that actually cut the foe, like Swords

Stab: Weapons that stab or have a stab-like effect, like Arrows

Interestingly, some weapons aren't mutually exclusive: Axes count for both blows and cuts, Knives count for both stabs and cuts and Unarmed counts for both Unhanded and Blow.

Hands (The Hands of Fate)

The Hand stat is a secret stat that the game silently keeps track of for each character. The hand stat represents how many times a physical attack has been made with a particular hand, the hand getting 3 XP for each use. Much like job levels only one hand level can be gained per battle, regardless of how many points are racked up. Theoretically, if you can have hands of different levels, although given how much III encourages dual-wielding, it's unlikely.

The FP guide recommends using the Ranger's barrage if you want to build up the hand stat, as that is a multi-hit attack that nonetheless counts each hit for the hand.

Weight (The Weight of the World)

Weight is not a new mechanic to Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy V, in particular has the stat help to determine who quickly a character acts (i.e. how fast the ATB bar fills up). However, V is the rare game where the game will actively inform the player of its existence. Other games in the series have it, including III (at least, in the remake).

Weight, along with Agility, determines how soon a character will act during the turn, as well as how many hits a character does (alongside the aforementioned Hand stat). This is why a Warrior with an axe will generally hit less than a Warrior with a sword, despite having higher attack. Interestingly magic also has weight to it with spells having a specific weight/cast time to it.

Boss Scripts (Script Write)

Bosses changing strategy mid-fight has been a Final Fantasy staple since at least Final Fantasy IV (Zeromus, for example, only starts to spam Meteo when he's close to dying), so the FF3 remake isn't particularly new or original for using this. Still, it's something to be aware of in case you make a particular fight harder than it needs to be.

A likely candidate for this is actually the final boss: While the Cloud of Darkness uses Particle Beam (and spams it during the last phase), it actually doesn't use the move until it's down to 80% of its HP, using the less threatening standard attack instead. This means that a player willing to take some turns to lower the danger can focus on the tentacles, which are the more immediate threat.

New pic (March 23, 2023), Malibu.

" Que le beau gosse de 62 ans soit désormais un chanteur rock folk et un écrivain à succès nous avait complètement échappé. Pourtant, il a déjà sorti trois albums. En tapant ces lignes, on écoute le classique et efficace Hell or Highwater, qui nous plonge dans une sorte d’Amérique masculine éternelle"

" Surtout, il est devenu écrivain, avec cinq romans en huit ans qui figurent sur la liste des best-sellers du New York Times."

"Tandis que la pluie tape sur nos fenêtres parisiennes, David Duchovny nous accueille par écrans interposés dans ce qui semble être sa cabane au fond du jardin. Il porte un hoodie vert, la barbe du matin, et boit un liquide non spécifié dans un mug. Il est 9 heures à Malibu, en Californie, la maison s’éveille . "

"On entend une sonnette, puis quelques rires, il s’excuse un instant, il doit aller ouvrir à la photographe. Après notre discussion, il pose sur son patio, devant sa maison moderne aux grandes baies vitrées et aux matériaux naturels foncés, entre des coquelicots orange et un wagon de train remis à neuf et peint en noir."

"On lui demande si ses enfants le traitent de boomer, ça le fait rire. «Ma fille a 24 ans, mon fils 20 et ils ont été éduqués et ont grandi en plein dans ce changement culturel majeur des dernières années. On a des discussions très intéressantes et parfois on a des points de vue différents, mais c’est sain.»"

". Il paraît apaisé. Il s’intéresse toujours au cinéma, adapte un de ses livres, Bucky F*cking Dent où il tient le rôle principal. Et il persiste dans l’écriture. Avec modestie : il sait qu’il ne publiera pas Ulysse de Joyce ou le grand roman américain de demain, mais il aime ses histoires, s’isoler entouré de sa documentation, griffonner à l’aube dès 5 heures du matin, quand tout le monde dort. On y devine une forme de soulagement, une manière de tromper la mélancolie qui semble pointer parfois derrière son regard "

Moka Pot Coffee Vs. French Press Coffee: Which One is Better for You?

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you know that the brewing method you use can make all the difference in the taste and quality of your coffee. Two popular brewing methods are the Moka pot and the French press. While both methods produce delicious coffee, they have their unique characteristics that make them suited to different preferences.

In this blog, we'll explore the differences between Moka pot coffee and French press coffee, and help you decide which one is right for you.

Moka Pot Coffee

The Moka pot, also known as a stovetop espresso maker, is a traditional and popular brewing method in and around Europe. It's a small and portable pot that brews coffee by passing boiling water through ground coffee beans. The resulting brew is a strong and concentrated espresso, perfect for those who love their coffee with a kick.

One of the significant advantages of using a Moka pot is that it produces a strong and full-bodied coffee with a rich aroma. It's also an affordable option compared to investing in an expensive espresso machine. However, the brewing process requires a bit of skill to get the right consistency and flavour. It also has a limited capacity, usually only 2 – 3 cups, which may not be suitable for larger groups or families at one go. Additionally, the brew can be too strong for some people's taste.

French Press Coffee

The French press, also known as a press pot, plunger pot, or cafetiere, is a classic and popular brewing method that produces a full-bodied and flavourful coffee. It consists of a glass carafe/ cylindrical pot, a plunger with a filter, and a lid. The coffee is brewed by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in hot water for a few minutes and then pressing the plunger down to separate the coffee from the grounds.

One of the significant advantages of using a French press is that it produces a rich and full-bodied coffee without the strength of an espresso. It's also an easy-to-use brewing method that requires no paper filters and has a large capacity suitable for brewing coffee for a group. It's also an affordable option compared to drip coffee makers. It's also not as portable as the Moka pot, making it less convenient for outdoor activities or travel.

Which One is Better for you?

When it comes down to it, the choice between Moka pot coffee and French press coffee depends on personal preference. If you prefer a strong espresso, the Moka pot is the way to go. It's also a more portable option than the French press, making it great for camping or traveling. However, it can be challenging to master the brewing process, and it has a limited brewing capacity.

On the other hand, if you prefer a rich and full-bodied coffee without the strength of an espresso, the French press is the better option. It's easy to use and has a larger capacity, making it ideal for brewing coffee for a crowd. It's also an affordable option compared to drip coffee makers. However, it can sometimes produce coffee with sediment or sludge, and it's not as portable as the Moka pot.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the Moka pot and French press are excellent options for coffee lovers who want a rich and flavourful cup of coffee. It ultimately comes down to what you like and what works best for you. Whichever brewing method you choose, make sure to use high-quality coffee beans and experiment with different ratios and brew times to find your perfect cup.

An assemblage of coffee things, because I like coffee a normal amount. I wanted to focus on some of the ingenious methods of making good coffee at home. Lately I’m enjoying a cozy little pour over - I like the way it requires you to take a few meditative minutes to prepare, but that cleanup is the work of moments, and it produces such a lovely coffee - assuming the beans are good, of course. (I’m enjoying a nice washed Colombian gesha at home right now - it’s so lovely and bright!) What’s your favourite coffee making method?
