So, let the grinding begin! By mapping out everything in the game, I now have the Treasure Hunter augment. This will double the probability of all drops, so I now have a .8% chance of getting the tails I need. Woohoo?
Anyway, I've discovered the correct way of grinding for these items is to use Alarms, of course. You're guaranteed to encounter the enemy you need to fight, which was nice of Squeenix. The problem I foresee is simply running out of money, as Alarms cost 3000 gil apiece and very few encounters offer that much money. What I've taken to doing is this: I fight 20 or so battles, and if I haven't gotten my tail, I reset. This way, I don't have to worry about blowing all my money on Alarms, at the expense of probably gaining quite a few levels. Also, this will deflate my actual play time, as I imagine each item will necessitate me resetting four or five times to obtain it(unless I get absurdly lucky).
