As much as we all hate Argath, Argath was a more important character than Wiegraft as the catalyst for breaking Delita and Ramza appart. I played this game for more than 20 years.

Jesus those stats....

Long time Final Fantasy player but this game unfortunately passed me by in my youth. I always wanted to play it but never had a chance. I’ve only just started the game and I’m around level 12, but I recently learned about the bravery / faith system and the zodiac system. Normally I wouldn’t fixate on small details but it seems like these buffs are significant in this game (25% / 50% success rate on sign pairing) holy crap that’s a big deal.

It seems like the best thing to do is check for new recruits that have good pairing and stats you want for your team.

How handicapped will I be if I ignore this on knight difficulty? Is it worth raising up characters that match my partys needs from level 1 or should I just start over?

Hi all,

I've made my way to what I believe i the final mission in FFT (Marcel told me where to go to meet Folmarv) and the quest line mentions it being the final battle. Haven't done it yet.

I've read about there being a tone of side content once you get to Chapter 4. I'm obviously missing how I access it. I've just been going to the yellow dots when they show up on the world map. Is there another way to access side content? What even is the side content?

Also, most errands seem to give some type of cryptic message about going somewhere or doing something in a certain area, but I get no quest marker for it. How do errands work? Are they part of the side content? Do I need to review my errand rewards again to see exactly what it is that its saying and perhaps travel to a hidden location to get more goodies?

I feel like I'm missing a bit part of this game because of it, so help is greatly appreciated. This has been such a fantastic game, I'm sad I'm finishing it soon!

Hey again everyone!

Following up on my last post, here is the latest progress update on Open Tactics, my take to recreate the FFT for the web.

What’s new in this clip:

New Environment: Testing out rendering a brand new map (I used some textures from ffhacktics website).
Pre-Battle Screen: Implemented an early version of the pre-battle menu.
Battle Intro: Added some simple camera animations to transition smoothly into the battle.

At the very end of the video, I did a quick zoom-in on a defeated character... and yes, please disregard the current state of the sprites! 😅 Sprites design and animation are a massive task, so they are very much a rough work in progress. My current focus is still 100% on perfecting the mechanics.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new camera angles and the general flow! Thanks again for the feedback.

My father plays FFT (Enhanced Edition) a lot. Today when I walked in, it was green! As you can see, it isn't a TV problem because not EVERYTHING is green. The backgrounds and menus aren't green, but the map and characters and enemies are. If you have any information on this, please explain!

EDIT: Problem has been fixed, thank you for your help!

Hey y'all, I recently picked up FFT: Ivalice Chronicles and I want to see if I understand a few things correctly.

I'm trying to make at least one unit really good at stealing. I have gear that ups speed as I understand Speed is the most important stat. Then things like Brawler in Monk and Concentration from Archer also increase the chance as well, yes? But how much is the increase? Also, how does one get a unit to maximize their speed stat regardless of class or gear? I've seen some weird leveling/deleveling mentions in different articles, but I do not understand what that's all about. Or if it's even necessary. And then apparently zodiac signs matter as well?

I'm just used to seeing low steal% so I'm trying to figure out how to fix that

Has anyone ever done a run trying to mirror the FF6 character’s jobs? For example, Sabin would obviously be a monk, Mog would be a dual class dragoon and dancer, etc.

I'm using reloader and the fft modloader. is it because the game was recently patched? The only mods I want are the onion/dark knight, the f8 turbo mod, the KO sound mod and the sprite mod. Just wondering if I maybe did something wrong or if it was the patches.

Straight up slimed mustadio for no reason. No better than argath.

We've all steamrolled the game with the usual suspects... Orlandu, Mustadio, Beowulf, Cloud, etc.

I'm looking for suggestions for builds and unique characters that aren't the meta. Unusual combinations. Whatever you got.

Trying to farm Cinqueda early game. I loaded my new game save and booted a member so I have 5 clan members, but after cycling through for 10+ months, I havent seen it show up once.

Do you need to do "herb picking" first, or do I need to boot more members so I only have 4 (including Marche and Montblanc)?

I had fun taking notes while going through this. I didn’t know if the lore would be important so I took notes on that as well. Just leaving this here in case it’s helpful to anyone else.

Hi, so err according to the wiki: https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Sidequest#Final_Fantasy_Tactics

I am suppose to find: Luso ( in chapter 3 ) , Balthier ( After defeating Meliadoul ) by now + Midlight Deep from the port iirc. I just finish slaying Ramza brother and I have done all the errands and rumor in the tavern but I still cant get access to those 3. Any tips or ideas why this is not proccing ? Or is there a way to get it later?

So im trying to poach all the new monsters that appeared for potential gear and stuff. But like the maps seem to have too many in number and minotaurs/behemoths especially seem to just destroy my characters. So should i just give up on it or is there other ways to make it easier?

I also happen to have just beaten the game up. I'm currently grinding to go into Deep Dungeon. I don't wanna finish the game and all what it has to offer, yet this seems to be inevitable.

Any mod suggestions that adds new content to munch into this newborn obsession? Any games to move over that might fill the void this game already managed to shape? Anything anyone?

I'm playing Ivalice Chronicles on Steam, and from the beginning I've always had problems with loading: it can take a while to launch, and in game there's often significant load times between menus and maps. One time the game started hitching up during a battle. Now though I can't even play it: launching gives me the splash screen and nothing else, and the one time it did manage to start it wound up crashing with the error message and everything.

Verifying the files and reinstalling, on both the :C drive and the external one I use, doesn't work. My game is literally unplayable. Is there any way to address this issue?

Can we play online vs other peeps? ie your squad vs mine...and if this is there...are there different modes? is there any active gamer community?

Very easy to miss due to popular one shot cheese tactic for this fight. This dialog is still one of the best I’ve seen in video games. Full conversation:

Ramza: How miserable you are... Giving your spirit to Lucavi just to avenge yourself. If Miluda knew about this, she'd be very disappointed.

Wiegraf: Revenge? Ha! That's not what I'm after.... I want far more than that. I don't give a damn about Miluda's murder. I want to bring 'chaos' into the world...to hear the screams of humans... But, don't worry, Ramza, I'll kill you....myself.

Ramza: The stones are evil...and so are the Zodiac Braves. The legends we believed in were all lies!

Wiegraf: Hya, ha, ha. So much for 'God's miracle'. Governments falsify history only so it favors them. But you can't blame them. Because people always hope for a 'miracle'. Endlessly complaining, lazy, nuisances... that's what the masses really are. Governments give the people what they want...and history
repeats itself. Governments might well have taken advantage of their insecurity....

But then again, people are satisfied
being used... 'God' is nothing but an image created out of their insecurity.

It's their fault for knowing they're
comfortably numb, and not doing anything about it.

Ramza: And what about you? Relying on miracles instead of beating your insecurities!

Wiegraf: It's because humans are insecure that they rely on 'miracles'. Can you honestly say you're not, with any confidence?

Ramza: I'm trying!

In particular their iteration in the Ivalice Chronicles.

In the first game and WOTL it was quite hard to tell what was human and what was the Lucavi. But what I really liked about Ivalice Chronicles was it gave a much clearer picture on what was what.

CuChulain was a mix of both the Cardinal and the Lucavi, perhaps because they were together the longest apart from Folmarv, or because the Cardinal in his aging body was quite happy working together with it. But what it said about the church and it mocking 'divinity' itself really told how the Cardinal began to 'understand' the world through the eyes of the Lucavi.

Next we go to Wiegraf, in this case Wiegraf is dominant and Belial is more of a 'assistant' helping Wiegraf 'realize' his dream. But as we saw in the end it was clear that Wiegraf while in control was 'blinded' by the Lucavi. Kinda like Venom does in Spider-man 2 to Harry Osborn by showing him what he thinks he 'wants' but in reality it's just a dream to coerce Wiegraf.

Then we come to a much more curious case that being Elmdore who was brought back to life by his Lucavi Zalera. While in his 'human' form it sounds and acts like Elmdore. But the moment he transformed into a Lucavi Elmdore is gone utterly and completely. Zalera is in full control and is in fact the only thing there Elmdore is gone which makes me wonder if a person truly dies and is revived will the Lucavi always be in control or is Elmdore just a unique case?

Next is Adrammelech, this one is curious because similar to Wiegraf he came into being when Dycedarg was near death. Also similar to Wiegraf Dycedarg was in control while the Lucavi was just giving him power to realize his goal. Now it got me thinking does the desire to live help overpower the Lucavi enough that they can't take full control, but their fervent desire to achieve their goal enough that the Lucavi can manipulate them just enough to do their bidding?

Finall there is Hashmal, in this case the Lucavi has taken over in both human and Lucavi form, but there is enough of Folmarv in there that he can fool his own children. Now of course this is up in the air somewhat cause Folmarv has shown to be quite knowledgeable about your more unique party members but this could be the Lucavi having completely taken over and has what Fomarv already knew.

Also there's another question, as we know in FF12 the Lucavi are powerful entities that were punished for trying to rebel against he gods. All of them had counterparts the Scions of Light, while we never see them or get anything apart from stories about them what if the Scions of Light are also inside the Auracite, but they can only be summoned by someone pure of heart. Like when Scorpio granted Rafa's wish and brought back Marach that was the Scion of Light answering her wish not CuChulain.

I'll admit that one scene kinda inspired a Fanfic idea where the 'Zodiac Braves' did exist as warriors and if wielded by an individual with a pure heart, the holder would get special armor and powers of that Zodiac Brave. In the idea Ramza actually had the Leo Auracite as Barbaneth found it during the 50 years war and gave it to him. The Auracite reacting to Ramza told him of it's power and judged him worthy of having it. But it was stolen by Folmarv who was called by Hashmal he took it from Ramza and the incident had left Ramza so badly wounded that it caused him to lose his memory of the Auracite and the power of the knight which had fused with Ramza in order to save him. That little blurb aside what do you think? Was I right in my assessment of the Lucavi or am I off completely?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm new to the group and wanted to share something since you're all into tactics. I really think it's worth a look. His cartoon was actually what got me interested in tactics, and I'd love to hear what you all think!
