How do you really feel about the zodiac signs?They came be useful some times, but at others...really piss you off... Like when I fought Mr.Wiegraf and They could only do half damage to each other. Ugh! Also, attacks like Stop Bracelet, and Glaxy stop are based on cutting off power from the zodiac....

I didn't even notice that they did anything. I know they are supposed to, but it never made a difference for me.

Zodiac signs effect the amount of damage you do when attacking or being attacked by an enemy. I'm not going to print the chart here, I'm sure you can find compatibility charts online on your own. But they most assuredly do work, if you have a copy where they don't it's quite bugged.

I dunno.... I've owned three copies of it through the years. One when it came out, and two Greatest Hits releases of it... and the Zodiac signs have never affected it that much at all. I'm too busy checking the AT list and trying to position my attackers behind the targets and checking the targets equipment to bother matching up our zodiac signs to see if I'm "ok" to attack them.

Well...I've got what I wanted, now I know that pretty much nobody cares about zodiac signs...no wonder they took it out of FFTA

gosh...you never even wonder go do tutorials if you're up bright interested...

I thought the zodiac signs were for decorations the first time I played it...
I know what they are for but, I think they're for back up in case you're losing...
and anyway the game does have bosses of ugly Zodiac monsters what do you expect!?

I'm shocked at what I was hearing! My first play through I was largely under-leveled, and the Zodiac signs definately fit into my strategy. I never would have beaten Weigraf/Velius without them. But I suppose if you are of sufficient power and are not doing a challenge or anything, they won't make too big a difference...after all not every battle has them even making an effect. But when they do the difference is large...if I recall it can be up to 50% damage increase or reduction.

I just never paid attention to them. happy.gif Aside from the Zodiac Braves and the Holy Stones referencing the zodiac, there is nothing that affects my game as far as the signs go.

They were integral to the plot, though, Whitestripedfox. And the plot, I might add, was a damn good one. FFTE might have been cheesy if it had followed the zodiac theme again.... b0t it didn't, and it was cheesy anyway. (augh.gif
