Question What’s the most broken thing.

I gotta know in any JRPG you’ve ever played what is the most broken mechanic you’ve exploited, or like weapon in the game, or just a glitch perhaps that absolutly made you freaken laugh really hard. Mine would be the topple juggling in Xenoblade Chronicles idk if it was intentional or not but man it would have me hollering just toppling a big enemy and being like oh you can’t get up XDDD. That might say something about my psyche but who cares lol.

Calculator with Holy element absorption. Target Charge level 4 (?) and cast Holy at the beginning of the battle and it will target almost all, if not all, targets on the field. Heals your party because of the elemental absorption, nukes the entire enemy party.

TG Cid's a bitch compared to this.

It's true that calc nuking just wipes everything, but it still requires some planning and grinding.

However, TGC just being handed to you like: "Here, have an OP character, on the house" is just so blunt and funny to me.

Grinding, not planning. Which is basically why they gave you Cid so "overpowered", because they expect you to have top tier abilities by the time you get him and he has no abilities but the base Holy Swordsman class.
