That changes everything. Now I want to look up the mechanics of how that works. Does Haste take one's speed over 99? Is Speed over 99 factored into the combo count?

I gotta tell my wife this stuff. Maybe I'll replay FFXII soon.

Yes, it brings you over 99 speed, but there's a cap, I think it was 150 or less, don't know for sure since I don't have access to the guide now. You can easily see the cap by comparing ATB speed between a non hasted 99 speed character and a hasted 99 speed character. The ATB difference is almost 1.5x faster. 

So in theory, if you couple a 99 Hasted + Masamune + Genji Gloves + Low HP = Insane ownage at the expense of always being around the death zone, especially against def capped Yiazmat (I really hate the def caps for superbosses, they didn't had enough HP already, nooooo, they had to cut down your damage too :P) 

I think the combo caps out at 12, so if you're that fast it may be pointless....

But if you're tthat fast, then your Strength is probably also pretty insane.

Then put BERSERK on them

Yessss

Yeah, 12 is the highest combo count, which if you're able to deal 9999 per hit, is pretty awesome by itself, ~120K damage XD 

There are tons of possibilities to maximize your damage output. Actually Yiazmat was a sort of proving ground for many strategies. I think the fastest anyone has ever defeated Yiazmat was on 53 minutes, which is 1M hp damage per minute xD
My fastest time was 2 hours and 5 minutes, and even that was pretty fast for me, first time around it took me 5 hours >_>
