Maybe I was too hard on Ranger. I think the Fire crystal is generally much weaker than the first two, and I'm definitely glad to not get Beastmaster.
I did some accidental grinding on Crescent as I tried to get a Death Sickle, which will make my Berserkers much more useful. I also beat Shiva, which was very easy at this point, especially with Black Mages casting Fira.
Anyway, the plot. Ifrit and Byblos have easily-exploitable weaknesses, no problems there. The Sandworm was fine, my Berserker only hit a hole once. Cray Claw actually died to the Instant Death from the Death Sickle which I didn't expect. Adamantoise was completely fine, and I just threw Thundara at the Ronka machines plenty of times. The Soul Cannon got Old on two of my characters and killed them, but that didn't delay me much. I think this might be the first time I didn't use Level 5 Death on the Launchers, I figured out that trick very early on my first playthrough. (This will probably also come up when I fight Atomos later.)
I was worried about Archeoavis but my bigger problem was getting to it. Those Ghidra and Hydra are tough! Animals actually came in slightly useful because I forgot that the second form of the boss was immune to all of my Black Magic. Oops. Anyway, time for my last job. What will it be?
