Hmm, it seems critical rate is not list here too...

Maybe someone has to hack the rom to see those values. lol

Oh, it's at the bottom of that page.

[Chocobo_Fan]

Yes, I imagine that's the case.

Edit: Nevermind. >.<

Edit 2: Gah, I can't read Japanese! D: I'll try Babelfish... (Even though I know Babelfish is terrible at translating stuff)

Edit 3: Okay, translated it. Dragon Earring and the Valor Crest do indeed raise critical ratio by a mere 20%. :( Also, Apocalypse Arm seems to only have a 10% critical rate. :( Even with the Dragon Earring, that's still only 30%... Oh well, instant 9999-age one third of the time isn't that bad! :)

I know I'm no math genius, but 30% is less than 1/3...>_>

I wonder what it would be two have two accesory slot. Dragon Tear plus the item taht raises the damage calculation... WOW! :'( EPIC!
Anyways, I might think of starting New Game + after I beat all three Vortexes... Or after I get everyone's ultimate Equipment.

On average. One third is, mathematically speaking, exactly 33.333333333... (times infinity) 30% is a pretty close average.

(Oh, and it seems that the Crisis Arm + Rapid-fire Fist combo is still better than the Apocalypse Arm + Dragon Earring combo... On average, you'd deal 9999 every three turns or so with a 30% critical rate for the AA. However, in three turns, you could deal ~18000 damage with three Rapid-fire Fists with the Crisis Arm equipped)

And yeah, double accessory slots would be pretty cool. :) Alas, it is not so.

That was one change into CC that I thought was strange.

[utunnels]

Hmm, well, why can't you wear pair of bracelets, pair of earings, a necklace, and 10 rings(sounds ironic though) at the same time.

Because the magics would get in your body and rot you from the inside out! Magic's like radiation, man.

[KebreI]

DnD advance basics: no more then one protective magical bonus per character regardless of what the item is, This does not include Potions, Spells, Curses, Blessing, Racial bonuses/penalties, Magic weapons, or anything otherwise excused by the DM. Jeez people this is the BASICS.

Interesting explanation. From Kato himself, I presume?

It's still a question of whether or not the upkeep of the Crisis Arm is worth it. Robo, being your main healer, would be the one devoting himself his own healing, which slaughters his damage output against either multiple or counter-attacking enemies, and even if you start draining your items, or bring along another healer, then your just slowing down someone else. Plus, Armageddon Arm is all purpose, it works through defenses, barriers, everything, there is no enemy (aside from Spekkio, Shadow, etc.) that it is not a viable tactic for. If only for it's low maintenance and versatility, I still give my vote for the Armageddon Arm.
