#OfflineGrinding I just realised I have played through 8 out of 11 hours of a GTA: San Andreas playthrough and I wondered "How did I manage to watch that far?"

And then I remembered I was AP Farming in #Dissidia012 and went "Oh right." XD

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 FINALLY!!!!! AN AP DAY!!!!!!

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

Yeah, I could collect Megalixirs and trade them for the materials, but it's just as bad a slog, between waiting post-Special Days to buy one with KP and running Arcade Mode.

Narrowing down how many Megalixirs you need helps. :/

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Well... I did manage to get a copy of everyone's trade materials. Getting everyone's Level 100 Exclusives are almost complete.

But even optimising the runs, 14 passes is very draining, and luck deciding what materials you find is NOT great :/

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding I'm halfway through collecting all the Dragon's Tears I need +1. Only missing Emperor, Golbez, Zidane, and Lightning (she needs 2).

The grind gets to me. I am balancing it with some Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, to set up benefits for Tactics A2

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding What does a man have to do to get an AP Day?! I dont recall it being this being badly sparsed :/

Oh wells. I don't need EXP, GIL, or PP days now, so I'll come back to stream Labyrinth runs.

I also am planning my next game to playthrough now ✌️

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Gottem all!
All the Electrum I ever need from The Forsaken Lands.

Went and gotten as much KP as I could in the last few runs. Maybe I dont need the 50k+ KP run, which would be a great blessing

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Terra "Mastered All Abilities"

Emperor is now Primary. Probably put Cloud in secondary.

Emperor's progression got his attacks mastered, so its the same AP run, though I'm about to run out of AP day.

Welp. I got Terra for the moogle cutscene now :)

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Yuna "Mastered All Abilities"

Terra next. Emperor moved up to secondary, just to see how many skills I can master before moving up to primary AP farm runner.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

383* hours.

Will I ever decide to return to my old save and complete that? Likely not. I should move on now that I have my groove back for streaming.

Gonna focus on my backlog of game titles. No more multiple runs of the same game. Just one run. Late-night streaming, if I must.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 Reflecting on this run of the game and looking back at the 182-hour run, I feel so fulfilled and rewarded for my love of this game.

Compared to my 201-hour save from 15 years ago, I can safely say that this game is, above all else, phenomenal in my eyes.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 Here is my 201-hour save that I have held on for 15 years now. It even had data ported from the original Dissidia, which brought in the levels I grinded on that game.

A combined 283 hours have been sunk into this one title. I love Dissidia and Final Fantasy so much.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 Really happy to mark Gabranth and Gilgamesh completed in the "Mastered All Abilities" part. Only 29 more to go! #StillNoAPDay

Next streams will cover the Labyrinth runs, likely the final Accomplishments to be finished once I'm done with AP and collecting gear.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Also, I still need to dive into The Forsaken Lands and grab 25 more Electrum.

Good thing I need a KP Grind but at the same time, its gonna be a couple of weeks before I could do 50k+ KP Grind. Probably go back to my stream video to watch it.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding I have everyone's level 90 exclusives. I just got started in obtaining (almost) all sword, greatsword, spear, katana, axe, rod, and staff.

There's still the armors, throwing, grappling, instrument, gun, and pole to obtain.

AND IM OUT OF KP AND GIL!

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding Also, everyone has their Lore skills bought. The EXP Grind also served as a Gil Grind, and, while I may need more Gil, I am moving on with getting everyone's exclusive gear.

I played Prishe last cos I took advantage of the Black Chocobo Plan's EXP+.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 #OfflineGrinding First part of "to Finish" is now done.

Everyone is Level 100 now!

The real grind is the AP one, mainly because the calendar will not spawn me an AP Day. /fliptable

Judge Gabranth has yet to be fully mastered, and he's the closest to it.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 The top half of the roster is level 100 now :3

While I'm getting these levels, I'm also buying up everyone's lore skills while also saving up for a massive inventory purchase with everyone's exclusives and all the equipment and gear.

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Changed to the Grind-lover Play Plan for the extra EXP gain while I Lv100 everyone.

This is what I got from an EXPx5 battle :)

[ZaCaptain Faqrullah Arman @IAmZaCaptain]

#Dissidia012 I guess I'm on a mission to collect everyone's level 100 exclusive gear now.

I even got copies for all the level 90s and 100s I need. Just need to gather that Electrum and gil.
(Note: Lightning has two sets. Need to mark them like Gabranth with his second offhand)
