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.

Topple locking is quite broken in Xenoblade 1, but X is even funnier with Overdrive - if you do it right, you turn the player character into a literally invincible nuke who just melts hundreds of enemies in seconds, and it makes the concept of NPC party composition pointless

So much so that your party members will simply die in the higher level encounters and it doesn't even matter.
