I remember playing a friends copy of FF7 on ps1 (with all those pesky disks) I had asked my mom for the game for my birthday and being disappointed when it was final fantasy tactics. However come to find out even 20 some odd years later I still love coming back to the game and playing it relentlessly when it was new to me. Thanks mom❤

I was 12 when Final Fantasy Tactics came out. While my brother was obsessed with the storyline and the game play, I was focused on just fighting the same few battles over and over in Mandalia Plains while my party members mastered every single job. When my brother finally convinced me to play through the game, I was pretty overpowered before Tietra/Teta's death.

I was three years old when this game came out, and my Uncle got it. I grew up watching him play it, and played it at an age where the topics covered in the game, and the story, weren't fully appreciated. But I played through it multiple times a year despite that. The game was just so fun to me, even compared to Sonic Shuffle, Mario Party and so many other games they tried to get me to play. Fast forward till now and I own almost all the merch, and still play it on a yearly basis if not more often.

@@briguy459 They could make Ramza's unique class actually change and upgrade over the course of the story, like if he starts off as a "Naive Noble" in the Prologue and only has access to fairly basic abilities during that section of the game, but upon reaching Chapter 1, it could change to something like "Mercenary" where he could gain abilities that blend those of the Squire with those of a Knight, but possibly with the loss of the "Rend" abilities in exchange for abilities that deal increased damage to specific enemy types (from Human, to Undead, to Chocobos, to Dragons, etc.). And then after Ramza is branded a Heretic, his class could change again to the "Heretic" where he could gain access to Dark Knight-esque abilities. And then once you get to the point that the main villains shift from the corrupt church and nobles to the Lucavi themselves, his class could change one last time to something like "Martyr", where he could then gain abilities that allow him to take damage directed at adjacent allies, and in return he gains a temporary damage and defense buff. I feel like that would really fit with Ramza always being a hero at heart, but the events happening around him could take a toll that is shown in how his unique class changes throughout the story. This way, you are encouraged to clear the Prologue early, rather than just staying there and grinding endlessly so that you can access Ramza's better abilities once his class upgrades. They could even change up the "cameo" characters as well, where we might get someone like Clive & Jill from FF 16, and/or Ardbert from FF XIV, or possibly even 2B & 9S from NieR Automata (in much the same way that the duo shows up in FF XIV during the three NieR Raids).

Where do I get the explanations for the numbers on the growth stats?

I like to combine white mages and lancers. For example, having in the party healer with second master lancer (dragoon) job with equip spear ability.

Squire abilities are my favorite secondary skills for monks. Especially rush.

Was always a bit disappointed they didn't include Holy Knight to go along with Dark Knight in War of the Lions. Agrias and Cid were my favorites because of those skills. Plus Cid is Gloriously broken. One of the best moments in the game is when you get him.

Now that I think about it, I would have loved a generic Holy Knight, if only for the sprites! 😍 TGC is amazing, couldn't agree more 💪

Im sure there are much stronger builds if using exploits, or min/max with levels, but ive always found using Ramza as a Monk, with Squire skills, equip armor, and move +2 to be unstoppable. Its what I used for the 1v1 against Weigrif, and just kept it. Can run around increasing your speed, then yoir strength, all while healing as needed if caught up to. Then just go punch a hole through everyone.

Hi GW, thanks for the comment! Iaido and high MA units like Reis and Beowulf are incredible combinations, and totally worth the grind for other casters in your squad. 💪

I've always been curious if it was possible to make a Tactics PVP game, but kind of in the same vein as Warhammer 40k Killteam. So a smaller core group of units but still having the FFT Job flexibility just with different abilities being now scaled on a point buy rating system kind of like they are in in the base game, but more streamlined/normalized for a PVP scenario. This is a close second.

@TacticsLive

I tried my hand at creating a points system as a way to balance vanilla Tactics for pvp, but it's a lot of bookkeeping. I'd say the @tacticsleague pvp mod is the best version of a balance pass for competitive pvp. It's a little bit of a departure from vanilla, but nothing that a round or two of melee won't get you caught up with. Best part is the increase in viable combinations of units; even squires are legit!

The Chemist's Potions healing values should've been % based cuz an X potion is useless when u have like 700 HP

Squire also have accumulate. It is key to have as a second skill when you are training another job. No throwing rocks and have a mime copying three people using accumulate and that thing can one punch ultima.

That's Dark Knights for you, dragging you down to their level. 😈🔥

In the begin I combined white and dark mages, and I realized, not enough MP. They are also slow with low stamina. Then I combined white mages and monks and understood, white mages are so weak to have second job monks, even with 'martial art' ability. I needed good offensive for white mages. And I realized lancers are best choice. Because if you give 'equip spear' to physically weak character, they would still be strong, because lancer themselves are strong more because of spear, rather than bare hands. And what is most important, lancers have strength-charged-from-distance-attacks that will hide you from playground, so enemies cannot hurt you for a while. FENCY, EH! They are too good!

The BEST build is a Thief/Monk build. You steal everything you can and heal like a mother f___er. Your speed is off the charts and you get lots of turns. I've played through FF tactics at least 5 times and that is my favorite character build. In fact all my characters had Monk as a secondary skill by my 5th playthrough.

Steal and Heal is my new favorite moniker! 😍 Steal is definitely strong on a Monk, and benefits from Brawler that comes innately. I can definitely see the benefit from an unarmed Thief with high bravery too! Thanks for sharing your experience, Sidney! 🙏

I disagree that jp boost is the only real necessity for squire, focus is amazing for a replacement for the wait command. Knights are better, in my opinion with rend magick, rend speed, rend power, and rend mp. At least then you have the ability to have a thief steal the gear that a knight would destroy. Also I suggest as mandatory for any character that can't equip an offhand item the perry skill. As mages gain a massive 20% perry chance from their rods. I've only just started replaying the war of the lions version and don't know the perry chance for knight swords. But I would think a shield would be better in that case. For samurai with perry perhaps the 2 handed skill may come in handy. I dunno the party chance for katanas
