[LuigiMario]

How did they get the record time of 8-9mins on an S run? What did they do? What did they not do?

I couldn't tell you any specific strategies, but I'd suggest that the key is to skip all unnecessary objectives. Remember that you're not going for S-rank, so the number of enemies you defeat is irrelevant. Skip the hidden room in Forest. Disregard the extra room in Caves that requires a minimum of 2 party members to get to. Don't go after the extra Weapons badges in Mines. Go straight for the switch to end the mission in that last room, without any hesitation.

There may be some other things you can do, but I suppose that beyond this, it all comes down to eliminating enemies with as much haste as possible.

Don't forget you can skip the 3 boomas in front of the gate where Ash is.

From what meira just said....it actaully does take big time off it.

When i was on my 130 Beast FF. on average we beat it in 25 mins but that includes gettin all the badges n killing everything that moves....

Like for example.... the hidden part in forest can take bout 2-4 mins.....so if you that out....thats 21 mins left....caves....if you dont do the where the badges.....another 3-5 minutes...... so we are done to 15 minutes mines....yea thats a few seconds but still counts....and you just ruin through mines you can actaully make within 9-10 mins....if you actaully strategize........


i would think possible X2 Fortefighters 1 Protranser and a 1 Fortetecher.....there can be others but thats sort of a basic one.....

I'm on the 360 so idk where the fastest time we have....so idk but it wouldnt mattr wat server tho

If you're surprised by that OP, you wouldn't believe your eyes if you saw that the JP players got it down to a bit over 5 minutes. Now that's baffling.

It's been said many times already. The JP times were including Paradi Cataract, lv 125 enemies, and an unnerfed Chikki.

I think cause they had a lower level cap when they had their MAG.

Maxed shotgun skills. Even a Protranser can wreck small enemies in one shot, and do ridiculous damage to Carriguines since they're not bullet resistant. By standing back a bit they can rack up the same damage across a crowd while holding monsters still for Fighters to stomp.

On the fighting side, I think rank 20 FF's should be strong enough to kill mobs within a single PA...
skip start-up JA's if the extra damage isn't enough to shorten the combo you're using.
look at moves that don't have short wind-ups or pauses just to squeak out kills a little faster. It probably makes a difference in the long run.
pack a good sword and tornado break, it might wipe out a whole pack of mobs if your team was hitting them with some AOE before you got there.

FF's spam Majarra without using the final PA swing. Keep the enemies packed together with traps.

that is true.....my tornado break is fairly low but i use spinning break lvl 37 on my FF so you know i use that alot ^_^..... If i do Mus Majarra on a mob of 6 most of the time(depending if i do critical)3-4 will be dead b4 the 2nd part is done. then the remaining die from the last part


I'm referring to MAG. I havent been any other mission on my FF except MAG...i should go 2 true darkness and try that out....

I'm working on my Fortegunner now tho

[Dragwind]

CAST and Beast fF's with chikki and majarra.

[X--Hero--X]

At first i thought a party of TECHER's with 31+ techs just killing everything from the distance... they look so cool!

MONSTER: hey what are you looking at!?
TECHER: SPLASH ATTACK!!!
MONSTER: ... ... ... (he's dead!)

[chaostroop3]
