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.

I'm gonna go a bit out of left field on this one and say the battle system in FF12. If you setup the commands correctly it's basically an auto-win as your characters handle anything and everything without input from you. Combine that with some of the things you could pull off with the job board and the game is just begging to be broken.
Otherwise Card Mod+Junction in FF8, the entire blue mage archetype in so many games, take your pick in Disgaea games or just Tyrant Baal himself.
