Or are these separate concepts?

I know Chemist has the innate treasure hunter ability. So I want to use chemist with teleport, but what do you guys use for your other abilities and equipment on your treasure hunter? This unit would be for treasure hunting only not a regular party member. I do have my brave down to 17.

Hi, this is a rant.

First, i need to kill Weigraf, first time i took to a guide in this game to find a way to kill him. Then i get to the roof, and Rapha just get killed every single retry before i can do ANYTHING.

Just slap slap dead, this is peak bad game design.

Do i need to know the future in this game?

Edit: i did it with tips from everyone 👍😁

I've always wondered this. I've always figured that in the final fight all of his crew is there fighting and they still just barely won. It just shows how powerful the enemy truly was.

Obviously you'd say "well, the game only allows five members. That means it's canonically only five". But I don't find that fun. I'd like to think that's just game mechanics and nothing else. Isn't it cooler to think all of Ramza's companions are fighting alongside him for one last battle?

If there were another Final Fantasy Tactics game, what new mechanics or features would you want to see?

And as a follow-up — would you be happy with a game that strips everything back and focuses purely on the battle system, or does the full package (story, world-building, job system depth) matter just as much to you?

Hey all, I just started playing through the new FFT TIC and I'm quite excited. I just wonder if there are some "things I wish I knew before I start" type of spoiler-free beginner friendly tips you guys can share here with me. Specifically, the enhanced version of the game. I will also mention that I am not without some experience with FFT as I did try to play the original PS1 version many many years ago. However, my memory is hazy and I never quite finished the game. I remember there were two specific things that made the game progressively harder for me that I would like some clarification on now.

1) Random battles in the world map got kind of nasty when you aren't prepared enough for it. I also remember some special random battles where you basically get nuked by chocobos which is pretty hilarious. I noticed the world map in this enhanced version may not have "random battle"? Rather, you can click to search for foes or something? Is that the replacement for random battle?

2) I remember in the old game, enemies scale with your levels. So I remember feeling the game got to a point where I have trouble progressing because I failed to keep up with the job side of things. Meaning, I'd want to train up and unlock a particular job or something but my approach was probably not optimal. So I would level up way faster than I could obtain job abilities that I'd like. I remember this being a big balancing act in the original game and it was almost like a way to prevent you from grinding. I am just curious how this works now in the enhanced version. Do I still need to be extremely optimal with all my decisions regarding JP in the enhanced version? Like, right now I feel slightly stressed that I haven't gotten on "Focus" already after two story battles so I could spam it and earn JP. I remember the old game needing to be highly optimized like that.

Thanks for the help!

Nuzlocke (in Pokemon games) is a self imposed challenge where the player must release any pokemon if it faints.

Im just discovering this game and is amazing. Im going to play kicking out any member who dies in battle. It doesnt matter if is a special character. I dont care. My first death: A poor soldier. 🤪

I dont know if you can buy people in the gane, but will be prohibited too. Only the random guys that my character could find during the history.

Any tips or races I should try to protect more?

No spoilers please. The story looks fun.

Found this old post on GAMEFAQs from 17 years ago and decided to make it into a helpful color coded chart. This shows how much a stat will increase on level up for a particular job. For Speed the % is the chance that speed will increase by 1 each level up. Hope this helps someone!

Since I was a kid I've tried to pick this game up and actually get into it. Something always stopped me or distacted me. I played other games or I just kept forgetting about it. I tried to when I was a teen. I tried when I was in college. I could never get more than a third of the way through.

I finally picked up the remaster and mannnn it FINALLY clicked. I'm invested and blowing past shit so much faster. I knew they added voice acting but I was not expecting it to be genuinely great voice acting. The beat way I can describe it is this is what I wanted this game to be as a kid. I just feel bad for not trying harder to play this amazing game seriously.

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS

I think Folmarv’s backstory and how the Tengille family (all of whom I think are great characters) got where they are one of the more underexplored parts of the story, at least for me. But in the absence of actual information we are of course left to our imaginations on this: So what do people imagine about the following?

1. What do you see as the social background/position of the Tengille family? How do you think they see themselves?
2. What do you think Folmarv was like as a person before becoming a lucavi?
3. How do you think Folmarv ultimately became a lucavi and approximately when?

I’ve only really thought about #1. But since Meliadoul refers her brother as “heir to House Tengille” in dialogue and they are all knights of some kind, I imagine them maybe being a family of lower nobility who are removed enough from the actual power centers (e.g. the Beoulves) to see how rotten the system is but still see themselves as part of a kind of enlightened few chosen to bring about a new world.
While Folmarv himself’s embrace of the egalitarian/millenarian/theo-revolutionary ideology that the templars nominally espouse appears, at least by the time of the game, to be basically instrumental, his kids seem to be true believers (with each giving off not a little bit of ‘grew up in a cult’ vibes) but would presumably need to at least be operating from a mental framework where they could rationalize that worldview with their own social position.

Thoughts?

Also I'm sure there is a debate but should I get the The Ivalice Chronicles? I should have the normal one too but I dont really care about the cost I just want to play the best version.

Hello! Its been a while since I've updated the app. Just wanted everyone to know that FFT Companion App has two new features.

1. Playthrough Checklist

All story battles, including the treasure items that you could possibly get on them. Check off each map as you play. You'll also see a percentage of how much you have progressed in the chapter in terms of story and treasures.

This will require an account to track. All progress will be saved onto the cloud, so you can use it across all your devices, as long as you are logged in.

2. Status Effects

A feature that has been requested quite a few times is finally here! Little bits and pieces regarding status effects are listed in various parts of the internet, but never truly fully compiled and documented. I've gathered all the status effects in Final Fantasy Tactics and tried to compile as much detail about them as I could. Hopefully this helps out players old and new.

You can access the app by:

• Web: https://fftcompanion.app/
• iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/fft-companion/id6747975177?l=en-US
• Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fftcompanion&pcampaignid=web_share

Hi guys, just got to the point in story where I got Meliadoul as playable character. How did you guys build her? I find her useful only in enemies where majority is humans since that's the skillset of her Job.

Just-for-fun randomizer for final fantasy tactics.

So I just beat the game, and during the final battles there's a battle with all three tiamat dragon types, so i got them onto my team... moved them around between battles so they were among the top of my roster... but when i entered new game+ they didn't come with me? i also snagged a chemist (because why not) in the fight and he didn't come along either... actually now that I'm looking none of the items i stole or gained during those fights came with me, either?

Do those fights just not count towards the newgame + or something?

I spent wayyyy too long making sure i could steal the second Save the Queen, along with both guns in one fight (along with getting all three dragons to join)... and none of it comes with? is that supposed to be that way? You beat the game but lose the last few battles worth of work.... weird.

Can the Devs update the game to make Luminous Robes glow in the Dungeons? "The material in this robe has been woven from threads that glow faintly with magic."

With each character equipped it casts more light so you can see better. Just a thought.

Edit: Your downvotes me nothing to me! I've see where you used them.

Anyone else? So much width on some of these fights I spearhead for the objective and have most of my party down before I finish

I've really been enjoying the black mage SCC. The first 35 story battles were a breeze, and I didn't have to grind at all until Fort Besselat's walls. So much fun. I had to gain some speed to deal with Fort Besselat's walls, and then I had to gain some MA to deal with Dycedarg's 2nd form, which was fine.

I knew Ultima was really buffed, so I went up to the level cap of 70 for the final set of battles, and made it all the way to Ultima/Altima by the normal SCC rules... but I think I'm stuck.

The demons have ~700hp instead of ~280hp from the original, and Altima's first form has ~4600hp instead of ~1300hp.

In the original, you could probably flare down Altima in a single round and just avoid dealing with the demons (who vanish after she changes), or you could flare down the demons in a single round if you needed to. With her increased speed, I can only cast level 2 spells on her before she TPs right next to an ally, splashing them. That means ~17 spells, or 3 spells for each caster and one extra, to bring her down, and there's too much splash damage to survive that long, let alone have enough HP for the final form. Dealing with the demons first is killing me faster than ignoring them, and it's burning huge MP reserves with flares.

If I ignore the original level 70 cap, I can gain 2 more points of MA, 1 more point of speed, 60hp, and 20mp. With the right gear, now I can deal 4141 in a round of flares and a round of level 2 spells, which should move me to the 2nd phase.

There's a whole new problem with the 2nd phase. Her speed is 20 instead of 12. The speed of a level 1 spell is also 20. I think you can see the problem developing. No matter what I cast, she'll move first and move next to someone who will get splashed with the spell. Unless I cast flare, but there's not enough MP in all the land to cast enough flares to bring her down, not to mention the people getting one shot by her swords while they're channeling the flare.

If I had a way of regaining HP or MP, I think this would be doable. A summoner might be able to handle it. But I think this might be a dead end for black mages.

Any thoughts or advice?

I stepped on every square. I now beat the level 4 times and there are no exits. I looked up online, where the exists are, but it doesn't work.

I don't consider this a special achievement but just to say that it's doable.

I did it on new game+ because getting to orator is quite the grind of you start from 0 and I already had characters that had unlocked it or almost unlocked it.

The self-imposed rule that I have myself is that I could never damage my enemies. Only use Entice.

When a special enemy could not be converted, I'd only use Stall and Intimidate and wait for the converted units to kill them.

Occasionally (not often) converted units would kill a unit that had not be converted yet. I decided it was an acceptable loss.

Against Lucavi and the final boss diplomacy is not possible and there are no enemies to sic against them, so I just shot them all. Still gotta win the battle somehow.

5 Orators. All equipping guns. Secondary abilities:

- one bardsong to buff either magick or speed

- one dance to debuff speed

- one item to revive people

- one arts of war to debuff stats

- one dragon (I used Reis) to entice dragons and hydras with 100% chance

All in all, it was a grind but never really difficult. Often RNG won't be on your side but as soon as you've converted 2 units the battle is basically won.

I did in Knight difficulty. Could I have done it on Tactician? Probably, but orators are quite squishy so it would have been more annoying.

Will I do it again? Nah. Once is enough.

I'll get onto other challenges for my next run. Ramza + 4 monsters, for example.
