Statics - Are - A - Waste - Of - Time.
I failed at making about, what, four statics? Eventually I just gave up, and got into pickup parties for each mission. And ya' know what? I finished before anyone I ever tried to static with. I'm cheerfully about to fight Promathia in a day or two, and all those people who bailed in my statics haven't even gotten to Ultima/Omega. One person even went as far as to put in his search commment, something along the lines of "Bad leadership is a sad thing, even sadder is that people follow".
Hey Remeo, guess what? I'm farming organs for my gorgets/obis, and you won't see Al'Tieu for another month.
Just make pickup parties with a group of people. Hell, you don't even have to know them. Just find five people who are as dedicated to finishing this crap as you are, and you're golden.
Best of luck!
