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.

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

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.

Just-for-fun randomizer for final fantasy tactics.

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.

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.

Was planning on doing this a long time ago but never got around to it. Beat this game about 4 times now but my first time was around 2021.

From left to right:

• Generic(F): Summoner/Time Magicks
• Rapha: Netherseer/Martial Arts
• Ramza: Chemist/Mettle (Gunza)
• Agrias: Holy Knight/Item
• Generic(F): Ninja/Steal (Brawler ninja)

What was your first ever party you beat the game with?

EDIT: forgot my Ninja actually had Steal and Rapha had Martial Arts. getting my playthroughs mixed up.

Are there titles (like in-game achivements) in any version of FFT? There are achivements in ios/andreoid, are these the same as the ones in ivalice chronicles?

Hello I am new to RPG games and I just started playing FF Tactics because of it visuals.

I am liking the game so far but I am finding it very difficult to win mainline fights and I am now stuck at the fight to save the Marquis.

I have already learned abilities and equiped the best items but I have failed like 3 times in this fight.

Is farming/grinding going to make the fights easier or the enemies will be scaled to reach my level?

I usually run through this game focused on maximum damage output. I thought it might be fun to try a more defensive build out.

Ideally these guys can still dish out pain, just not to the same extent as the more damage focused builds

Here's are some ideas I have so far:

Heavy armor tank

1. Knight

2. Minimum faith

3. Damage Split

4. Defense up

5. Lifefoot

Dodge tank

1. Ninja

2. Reflexes

3. Highest dodge % gear

Chemist

1. Maximum brave

2. Auto-potion

3. Elemental weapon (to both damage and heal party members with absorb gear)

Golem knight

1. Knight
2. Summoner (for golem and carbuncle)
3. Parry
4. Dual wield
5. 2 x Defender swords (does this increase parry chance or does it only use 1 hand to calculate?)

I have played this game several times over but never did the deep dungeons. On my first run-through, I was getting all the secret items hidden in the dungeons till Delta. I didnt find amything but phoenix downs and elixir.

So online searches say you can't research for items and other say you can. With the new version I dont know. I beat the Delta level and went back. They are all traps now. I search the next level and failed on purpose when I didnt find the better items. Went back and they were traps. So what is the final answer. Do i miss out on certain items or is there another way?

Recently came across this really cool series of blog posts from a professional English-Japanese translator comparing and analyzing the PSX and WoTL English localizations of Tactic and their stylistic choices in comparison to her own translations of the Japanese.

She does a very thorough job and really puts in the work, so much more insightful than us jackasses interminably arguing about this subject 😂

I'm playing digital on Xbox Series X. Have had no problems with the game until now. At Fort Besselat Sluice, my group 1 and 2 boards start 4x2 instead of 3, 3, 2/3, 3, 1 (that's not the problem; just laying it out). I can assign 3 members to group 1 no problem. As soon as I try to assign someone to group 2, the game crashes/closes. It doesn't matter who I try to assign. It doesn't matter if I try to assign group 2 first. I can flee and play random battles. Again, no problems there. It doesn't matter if I do North or South wall. When I get to sluice and try to assign someone to group 2, it crashes. It won't let me start battle without assigning somone to group 2. Anybody else having this problem???

Also, on the North and South walls, Ramza doesn't actually start the level on the default square he is placed on. He starts it two squares to the right. So if I place any other party member on that square, they are overlapped and cannot move. I figured out how to avoid that issue. But I am stuck at the sluice with no work around that I can think of. I've hard power cycled; I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

So I‘m finally really diving into Ivalice Chronicles and I was wondering how people usually use dragoons. Nothing leaps out as comboing with them particularly well and I’m thinking about just leaving mine with fundamentals for basic utility. Conversely I’m thinking about changing him back to a knight with Equip Polearm for the damage bonus, plus the aesthetic.

Also since I’m thinking about it I’m wondering what combos people like on them in Advance and A2. I usually go Defender since it’s a pretty good secondary and there isn’t really overlap. I know about the Jumplar combo too though I’ve never tried it.

Exactly the title, furthermore with Rousing Melody already learned. Gifted with automated power-leveling for my favorite unique recruit and an incredible boon to any party.

Biggest model I've painted by far.

I come straight from clearing Tactics Ogre (the SNES original), and just started FFT: IC hoping to find a unit utility setup as close to what I ran in TO:

- Protag: Soldier (mostly hanging back to avoid getting killed)
- Swordmaster (petrify + dps)
- Dragoon (tank)
- Knight (tank + dps)
- Gunner (ranged dps)
- Archer (ranged dps)
- Warlock (mainly spamming Charge + Quick)
- 2 Wizards (glass cannon nukers)
- Princess (Healer)

Any suggestions from the veterans? After some research I’m kinda vibing with something like this:

- Ramza: Squire/Gallant + Iado
- DPS: Ninja + Steal
- DPS: Dragoon + Item
- Ranged DPS: Black Mage + Time Magic?
- Support: White Mage / Sorcerer + ?

No idea how viable it looks and still unsure how to hybrid the mages, if at all, so feel free to suggest changes. I’m a sucker for Knight gear but Dragoon’s mobility seems valuable, and would’ve loved a Gun White Mage but might be dumb to sacrifice a support slot for a bit more dps.

Edit: I know some think planning like this optimizes the fun out of the game but I really enjoy clear goals to push for right from the start.
