Nothing but Bands this update, but there sure are a lot of them. Let's get started. A Namingway, or, er, Challengingway hologram is just outside where we parked the ship, but the only things he sells are consumables and a few types of Shuriken.
Let's start with Edge using Attack and Kain using Jump. This results in Mirage Dive. Edge creates several copies of himself which surround a target while Kain Jumps, and they all hit at the same time. Pretty strong, and gives Edge Blink.
Next up, Rosa and Porom, both using White Magic. This gets Holy Ray. Basically, Twin Holy. With lasers.
Next is Luca and Cid, both using Attack. We get Double Tomahawk. Cid catapults Luca into the air and they both throw their weapons. Luca lands on Cid, who's starting to get a bit too old for this crap.
Our next Band has Rydia, Harley and Izayoi all Attack with whips. This gets Wild Whip, which basically just has them attack several times. Not very impressive.
Next Band uses Palom's Bluff, Luca's Big Throw, Leonora's Black Magic and Porom's White Magic, getting Palom in the Sky. Palom starts to show off, and the girls come up with a plan. Luca picks up Palom, throws him, and he proceeds to bounce around while Leonora spams thunder spells on him. Porom heals him up afterwards. Decent damage, good healing for Palom.
The next Band uses Rydia, Harley, Izayoi and Leonora, once again using Attack, all with whips. In particular, one of them must have the Queen's Whip. This gets Call Me Queen. It starts the same as Wild Whip, but then Leonora jumps up...
Leonora: T-to the pigsty with you!
And knocks the enemy back. Damage is still underwhelming, but can inflict Pig.
For our next Band, Yang will Attack while Rydia uses Summon. We get Sylph Protection. A bunch of Sylphs surround Yang, giving him a huge heal, Haste, Protect and Shell.
Next, Rydia Summons and Edward uses Bardsong. The result is Mirage Song. Rydia summons the Mist Dragon while Edward sings, giving the whole party Blink.
We then have Yang Attack as Edward uses Bardsong. This gets us Fist Dance. Edward sings as Yang slides into an enemy, causing an explosion. Pretty strong damage.
Next up, Tsukinowa uses Ninjitsu and Porom uses White Magic. This results in Healing Wind, a strong heal and Esuna on the whole party.
Our next Band involves Porom and Leonora both using White Magic. The result is Sprite Bred. More Twin Holy, less lasers, more importantly, it can't multi target, so it will deal a ton of damage guaranteed, but only to one foe, unlike Holy Ray, which seems to get pretty weak when multi-targeting.
Next Band has Yang Kick and Gekkou use Shuriken. We learn Explosive Kick from this, which is pretty self explanatory.
Continuing on, Leonora uses Black Magic and Izayoi uses Ninjitsu. We get Frost Wave from this. The two unleash a tidal wave which then freezes over, hitting all enemies.
The next Band is learnt from Luca using Analyze and Zangetsu using Human Kite. We get Mecha-kite. Luca does... something to the kite, and Zangetsu flies around, slashing all enemies.
Up next, Rosa, Porom and Leonora, all using White Magic. We get Pure White Magic from this, which is every healing and buffing White Magic spell. Very useful, also very expensive at 99 MP.
For our next Band, Rydia, Palom and Leonora all use Black Magic. This gets us Tri-Disaster. The three main elements get blasted onto all enemies. This Band has the ability to break the damage limit, so when our Black Mages get stronger, we'll see 5 digit damage from this.
Next, Tsukinowa and Ceodore Attack, while Palom uses Black Magic. This results in Rapid Fire. Tsukinowa and Ceodore smash the enemy around while Palom launches lots and lots of fireballs.
The next Band has Edward use Bardsong, Calca use Jive and Brina use Dance. This gives us Mysic Waltz. The dolls transform into Calcabrina, while Edward plays their theme, resulting in really random effects.
Next up, Ursula Kicks, Porom uses White Magic, Leonora uses Black Magic and Luca uses Analyze. We get Petal Whirlwind. Luca targets an enemy which then gets hit with the strongest the other three have got. This can also break the damage limit, which is very nice.
To wrap this up, let's get some five character Bands going. These are all ridiculously powerful and can all inherently break the damage limit. That includes the one five character Band we have already, Ultimate Art: Advent of Phoenix.
The first of two five character Bands we can learn right now has Palom and Rydia use Black Magic, while Porom, Leonora and Rosa use White Magic. We learn Infinity. A ball of magic appears in the middle of the screen, gathering power, until it starts shooting lightning bolts at all enemies. Even at the levels we have now, the party is dealing 9000 damage on all enemies.
The other five charcter Band we can learn right now has Ursula use Tenketsu, Ceodore Attack, Luca use Big Throw, Palom using Black Magic and Porom using White Magic. This gets us Makeshift Cannon. Palom and Porom cast a spell on Luca, who then picks up Ceodore and Ursula and throws them, attacking all enemies. Once again, we're doing 9000 damage to all targets already with this.
That is by no means all the Bands we will learn this Tale. There are many, many more to come. We'll start gaining those as we proceed with the story next time.
I have set up everyone's equipment during this update, however there is no way I'm typing all of that out again.
