We'll have only one Sigmascape (the tier in 4.2). The first raid tier was called Deltascape. We don't know yet what the next one will be called.
I also remember the talk about 4.6 and 4.7. If it happens we may get more than just three tiers. In that scenario we could have Sephiroth as the final boss of the third tier and Omega Prime as the final boss in the next and final tier. It may even be a stand-alone battle (like the Ultimate Coil) instead of a whole raid tier.

Looks like Sigmascape will be FFVI-themed. I guess the last one will be VII or VIII-themed, whichever one has Omega Weapon (both I think?). I expect Omega Prime to be the final boss. I also expect to see Sephiroth as a boss at some point, but it wouldn't make sense for Kefka to be the final boss of this tier and Sephiroth not to be the final boss in the VII tier. Who knows, maybe they even deviate a bit from the pattern we had so far.

Yep, saw it. Will probably use it near the end of the month.

Yup. I expect a trailer today during the live letter. I also expect the release date to be October 10th. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the time to play this patch. 
Did you manage to buy a plot in Shirogane?

Final Fantasy XII / Re: New Guide - Cerobi Steppe Chest RNG Manipulation Guide
« on: July 31, 2017, 06:31:22 PM »Ashe's Cure Values start WAY in front of the ones I get on my PS4. For those who are also having problems look at the following post from me on GameFAQS for full details on this:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/191202-final-fantasy-xii-the-zodiac-age/75619849?page=1#79
The only probable solution is for me to write a new section and determine everything again for those whose list starts well in front of mine
That's one of the issues with using Cure values and not the numbers provided by the RNG. However, if their list starts before yours, they could simply cast Cure until they get a match.

To be honest, it doesn't appear that Bluesang has an effect on the RNG so I can't be sure if it's necessary to remove him;
One random number is used to determine whether or not he spawns.
Do you happen to have a list of the spawn order of the chests for us who know how the RNG works?

« on: July 25, 2017, 12:07:12 AM »I have to chime in with LMAO at Square Enix for deciding they had to change the RNG a teensy weensy little bit because gamers on FFT figured out the chest coding.
It's not like that, though. The game most likely uses an external library (code written by a third party) for the RNG. When they re-released this, they didn't change any of their own code, they simply used a newer version of said library. If they really wanted us to stop manipulating the RNG, all they'd have to do is change the seed (a number used to initialize the RNG). Instead of having a fixed seed, they could simply make it time-based. My guess as for the reason why they didn't do this is that they simply wanted a predictable RNG for testing and debugging purposes.

All the explanations are in the first post. Open the second tab (RNG list) in the spreadsheet once you've entered your stats. Though I suggest you actually use Egli's website (he updated it for TZA) since you can't change anything in the spreadsheet without copying it first.

The NPCs use random numbers for their movement which makes RNG manipulation pretty inconvenient.

What about the ones with neutral NPCs lurking around?

« on: July 09, 2017, 09:58:54 PM »I'll look into switching them, though I have Vaan hitting 99 strength for damage purposes, and he has one more speed than Penelo (allowing him to deal more damage with Orochi N, albeit only just). Penelo also provides decent white magic for my sub-party as she has access to curaja, which neither Balthier or Fran will. Her curaja will be used with 99 magic in the end-game, so will provide great healing for the sub-party.
My first party is usually Vaan, Ashe and Penelo. The other three are the reserve. Sometimes I split them up into male and female parties. I didn't bother optimizing my setup too much. I want decent job combinations and I want them to fit the characters (how they fit is extremely subjective). I'd like Vaan to be a Monk, but Penelo to be a Black Mage. Compromises will probably have to be made.
