    How bad can I mess it up?

    I was about to come in here and ask for the recommended party... Then I thought maybe it'll be more fun just to play around with stuff and see what works and what not.

    So I guess Ng question really is, How badly can I mess things up if I spend too much time down the wrong rabbit hole/job for my characters?

    (The Lion War Remixed Mod if that makes a difference) *edited - to list correct mod! 😂

    WotL: Does enemy AI always assume a spell attack is going to be a 3x3 cross?

    I'm grinding levels right now and I've noticed when I cast 'aja' (fire 4) spells, they will sometimes move into it's aoe. I've never seen them move into any 3x3 cross of a lower tier offensive spell, they usually take a hesitant move and wait when I pre-emptively cast a spells to protect my units. This may be different with summon spells, I haven't tested that class yet. Does anyone have any insight?

    FFTA player approaching FFT: suggestions?

    Hi all,

    Been playing FFTA for years, exploring game dynamics, focusing on character combinations and growth, etc


    Willing now to begin FFT, since everyone’s always spoke wonders about it, but I’m afraid that being used to a certain level of “in game character build up”, I won’t be able to enjoy the game as much as I should.

    Any suggestions? Anything I should focus on? Any specific hints on character classes (ie. From FFTA: don’t waste time building a moguri, they are crap)?

    Thank you!

    I need some help leveling up my characters in WOTL IOS

    So I know about de-leveling as a chemist or bard, but how does leveling up as a mime contribute to HP and attack? When I switched my character from leveling up as a mime back to dark knight, I didn’t notice any difference to attack. I noticed that the HP did change some, but it wasn’t a whole lot. Could someone elaborate on this whole process? Thanks in advance!

    Just started playing (again)

    So I just got a PS2 and final fantasy tactics. I started a game, but unfortunately was unable to save because my memory card was defective. Since then I've gotten a new one and restarted, but I noticed something. My main character under the command "Guts" had "Throw rock" available as an option. But the second time I started, instead of throw rock, there was "Wish". In both cases, I put in the same birthday, and started as gemini. Are the Guts abilities randomized?

    Imagine there is a new Dissidia game coming and Tactics gets an antagonist rep to appear alongside Ramza, which one would you prefer?

    Saw an ancient youtube comment discussing this and it made me curious to see what people think these days

    Subjob for a Blue Mage (not spamming Night)?

    Heyo! So I've been trying to decide on a subjob to give my dedicated Blue Mage (still my fastest unit so far since I recruited him as a really fast Ninja, but probably gonna level him entirely as a Blue Mage).

    What are some good subjobs to give him? And this is assuming I'm not just going for Night-based strats in every fight lol

    So far I've just kept him as a Thief sub, since I have him set up with Steal Ability/Weapon/etc. And I like the utility of stealing gear to weaken enemies, but obviously the Blue Mage itself has tons of utility behind it already. I was thinking White Mage just to have some healing/revives in reserve just in case, but that's probably not too necessary with White Wind and eventually Angel Whisper. I also thought of Ninja, just for something different, but why use that when you can just Bad Breath? :P

    Anyway, if anyone has any ideas for what to run here, I'd appreciate it!

    Ramza Beoulve

    Final fantasy tactics is my favorite game of all time but I do acknowledge the games flaws but I want to hear others opinions. Do anyone want a remake of fft?? If so is there anything you would add or change to the game? Or keep it the same with a major graphics upgrade. Me personally I would make a couple of changes like actually giving Ramza a secret unique class which would based off Barbaneth Heavenly Knight class making it similar like Cid holy swordsman class but like a combination of Dycedarg Rune knight & Zalbaag Ark Knight and with a couple of new unique abilities never seen on the game. Adding more side quests to unlocking the class basically adding more lore to Barbaneth Beoulve story making players understand more about why everyone loved and trusted him so much and even more more understanding why did the 50 year war ended in a truce when clearly they was losing battles where Barbaneth or CID wasn't present in.

    Am I shooting myself in the foot by only using four characters?

    I'm still very early in the game, only level 5 or so, and so far I've been clearing maps with Ramza, three hires, and the guest NPCs (when they're available). My thought process was even if I'm allowed to bring a fifth character for optional fights they're just going to end up lagging behind in levels, but if I restrict my team to only four then they'll be getting more exp and jp.

    Am I good sticking with my team of four or should I start adding a fifth fighter during optional fights?

    Edit: I went ahead and started leveling another Chemist to tag along with my party and dispense potions. Thank you for all the helpful responses!

    Favorite Story Battle or Special Map?

    Personally, I like any time I get to put Gaffgarion in his place and Dorter. I wish the Dorter Slums were a repeatable location.

    Desertion Warning

    I'm stuck in this game and things just got weird. So there's this sketchy Cardinal who just pulled some seriously messed up move - he killed his own buddy and now the princess is totally in trouble. I try to head to Balias Swale, and BAM, instant game over screen. Like, what? I didn't even get to do anything.

    So I'm thinking, "Okay, something's not right here," and I reload my save to figure out what the heck is going on. There's some warning message that I think might explain why the game keeps killing me before I can even make a move.

    I don't demand but I hope for an answer..

    I have a PS5, Steamdeck, NintendoDS, and an Alienware now; but I cannot find this (my childhood's favorite) 😭 please help!

    I've got it on my phone, but the feeling is just not as golden (and there is no cloud save, I change my phone recently and the save is gone).

    What's your preference? PSX or PSP?

    I've played the PSP version twice so far and love the immersion factor of the Ivalician speech, though can be sometimes hard to read out loud. Also the extra content and cutscenes are great.

    I never got to play PSX version when it first came out. I've watched a couple of skits and playthroughs of the PSX version and it seems rather raw and makes some characters sound a lot more harsh and rough around the edges, though seems much easier to read. I also like how the characters will sometimes say things as they cast a spell and didn't realize it wasn't in the PSP version. Lot's of charm I've seen.

    What's your preference and why?

    [FFTA] Quick Blue Mage & Morpher Questions

    Heyo! I had a couple quick questions about Blue Mages and Morphers!

    1. So I know you can learn Blue Magic from enemy Blue Mages that happen to have them, like Goblin Punch. Can your own Blue Mages do that too? Like, if a monster hits Marche with an ability and he learns it, but for whatever reason it refuses to attack my actual Blue Mage (and assuming I can't control it). Can Marche use the ability on him to learn it? Or does it have to be an enemy monster/Blue Mage?
    2. Does anyone have a list that shows what abilities Morphers actually get access to from each monster? Trying to figure out which Souls I want to prioritize mastering first as I go.
    3. Bonus question: Any Souls you feel are more useful to have in the early game? So far I've mastered Bug and Flan. Working on Bomb atm, but I also have... Goblin, Panther, and Eye, iirc?

    Quests with "Special" Capture-able Monsters?

    Heyo! So, I had a quick question that I was hoping somebody could help me with. I'm eventually trying to get every monster in the Monster Bank at Lvl.50, as well as Capturing all of the special "named" monsters, where applicable, such as Mombomb and Mamaflan.

    This is a list I found on GameFAQs from a while back:

    • Cream (Mamaflan)
    • Bomb (Mombomb)
    • Icedrake (Archaeodemon)
    • Lilith (Sandy, Cindy, Mindy)
    • Malboro (Ochu)
    • Big Malboro (Neochu)
    • Ahriman (Apanda)

    I know Mamaflan is from "Flan Breakout!" and both Archaeodemon and Apanda seem to be from "Free Bervenia." Does anyone happen to have information on where exactly the other named monsters are, quest-wise? Also, if there are any others that I haven't listed here, but this seems to be all of them, I think.

    Thank you!!

    Replacing Monsters in the Bank?

    Heyo! I had a quick question for FFTA.

    So I'm raising a Morpher, and eventually I'll be training up Lvl.50 monsters and raising their stats once I can buy Curealls and such, but how does replacing a monster in the Monster Bank work?

    Say I find a higher leveled Ice Flan than the one I have, and haven't started raising their stats and stuff yet. Can I Capture a new one and be given the option to replace the old one? Or do I have to actively go and release the old one FIRST, and THEN go and Capture the new one?

    Wanted to figure this out, since it'll be a while before I can just buy tons of Curealls to start raising their stats, or getting them all to Lvl.50. Figure I might want to get some higher leveled ones in the meantime, but we'll see.

    Thanks!

    Rol tactico pvp estilo ff tactics

    Existe algĂșn juego estilo final fantasy tactics exclusivamente pvp con sistema de emparejamiento con rankeds? El estilo de koliseo del dofus se me viene a la mente pero busco algo en lo que no haya que farmear o que sea p2win, solo planificar estrategias y usar razonamiento.

    Lion War hack. Does it level scale story battles?

    Trying the Lion War 2.0 hack. I did a little grinding before Sweegy Woods up to 4, and all the enemies are also lvl 4. I don’t remember them being that high in vanilla. So my question is, does this Lion War hack scale up enemy level for story battles?

    Clan League not showing up

    I can't access the mission, I've finished Llednar fight and read the rumor. Has anyone had this problem? I've even tried to do some missions and also taking all missions and cancelling them to see if it wasn't on queue.
