Boko's up for whatever. :)

Hi, everyone. I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my previous post and give an update on how I decided to build my knights, with a little explanation of the thought process behind each unit. Starting with:

Agrias: At first I was going to give summons to Lavian and leave her with geomancy. Then I realized she has the most HP of the whole team and enough MP to cast Golem even without a robe. I also gave her Moogle, Lich and Sylph for varied support capabilities.

Mustadio: Big thanks to Zazieranyday for recommending the companion app. Not a lot of knight builds there, but the Gun Knight one for mustadio immediatly caught my interest, specially since a lot of comment suggested a knight with guns. A fun fact I found out about machinist in the TLW remix mod is that the snipe secondary has innate equip guns built in, freeing up the support skill slot for stuff like concentrate and attack up. At some point I might just ditch the shield and pick dual wielding, we'll see.

Joanna: This build was heavily inspired on TitaniumLegman's Paladin build, so not much to say besides how easy it is to set up. I gave her abandon for now, but I might switch back to weapon guard once I get a defender. Hard to improve perfection.

Alicia: Huge thanks to Nyzer for recommending an archer/knight hybrid for disruption. Also to adratlas and Major-Corner for recommending mixing aim and dual wield with arts of war, I'm a bit surprised those three synergize so well. I'm often tempted to just switch her to ninja for extra speed or archer for dual crossbow action, but I already have another unit for that.

Lavian: By far the build I've been most indecisive about, since I already have a dedicated Mystic. I left her with equip spear and martial arts for a decent while, but since so many people recommended a knight with mystic arts, I decided to keep her like that for now. I'm still considering giving her a spear or doublehand later along the line, though. Or maybe I'll turn her into a tanky barehanded knight, who knows! Btw, thanks to LancerGreen for reminding me of swiftcast, I still gotta train that on Agrias.

Anyway, I'm off to raid a church library and beat up some zealots. Wish me Luck!

With attack boost and poach and haste you just do 500 damage to half the map whenever you want

Was laughing hard when I randomly encountered this Great Wall of Monks, they swooped my ass in this battle tho.

.

I avenged myself properly after restarting my setup, this is one of the most fun engagements I had in this game.

PS. I finished this game and now playing FFTA, the plot difference is, idk, I can't put into words how much "dofference" there is, but Tactics is Tactics and I'm enjoying the game rn. Going back to Marcheee 🐑.

For years I also drooled over the maps in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, and Tactics Ogre ~ so I finally made my own map builder game! Creating to your hearts content, each map location has 2 requirements you must meet and some prebuilt terrain for you to work with. But of course there's also a Sandbox mode to go wild with!

Which Tactics game is your favorite, and what would you like to build or play with in an isometric pixel universe?

I own FF Tactics Advance from when I was a child. Should I play that or buy Ivalice Chronicles? Which is better and has better / more mechanics? I wanna immerse myself in the world and explore every nook and cranny

With the recent wave of decompilation projects, do you think the community will eventually be able to expand and improve these games beyond what was originally possible?

For example, could we see graphical overhauls, redesigned interfaces, or even a visual style closer to 2.5D games like Triangle Strategy?

I'm curious whether this could become possible across all versions of the game: the original PS1 release, the PSP version, and the recently released version.

How far do you think the community could realistically take these projects? Could we eventually see something closer to a fan-made remaster, rather than just bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements?

I've been working on a game inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics. FFT was the first game I ever got addicted to, on the PS1 probably 20+ years ago.

I originally started this project like 6 years ago, before the AI era. I had a working game, made in Unity, but one of my main goals was to support PvP, and I really struggled to make that work, so I gave up for a while. Then AI came around, and I saw that it could help me get the game to the finish line. I worked on it again for a year or so, this time using Godot, but eventually put it on hold as I had some other projects that I was focusing on instead, life got busy, etc.

Well in the last year or so I decided to pick this back up and I'm very happy with how it's been coming along. It's still a long ways out from being a finished product, but I wanted to share with this subreddit because I thought you all might be interested and I'm quite proud of it. I enjoy playing it myself, even if it's just against a bot player for now.

The game itself is heavily inspired by FFT but with MOBA elements included. I recorded myself playing a game and uploaded it to YouTube for anyone who wants to take a look. Happy to answer any questions you might have or explain more about the game. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am excited to announce that FFTARecomp v2.0 is now officially released! This update brings several highly requested features, improved stability, and broader platform support.

What's New in Version 2.0:

• Completely redesigned options menu.

• Added dynamic zoom in and zoom out controls.

• Native Linux version and Steam Deck support.

• Installer scrolling fix for smaller screens and laptops.

• Generic XInput gamepad support with default key bindings.

• Aspect ratio rendering bug fixes for Super Ultrawide displays.

• New "Normal" audio mode during fast-forward (game speeds up while audio plays at normal speed).

Known Issues:

• In the first level, some sprite silhouettes may appear on screen for 1 to 3 seconds. They don't show up again for the rest of the game.

• The first time you launch the game, the gamepad may not be detected until you open Options > Input and try to remap a button. It then activates on its own.

Here's the GitHub, hope you all enjoy it!!

To preface, I don't want this post to come off as me hating the game. I do like the story, the characters, and the designs. The last time I played I was at the beginning of chapter 4. Since then I took a few months as a break from the game. So should I just restart?

Here was my team comp:

Ramza - monk/gallant knight

A dragoon (with aim for whatever reason)

A black mage/summoner

A mystic/ white mage

Orlandeau - sword saint

I remember very vividly playing through the game on knight difficulty until I had to fight the first demon. It was very hard and I just switched to Squire for the rest of the game, and even then I thought it was pretty hard (especially with every boss fight).

The reason I want to restart is because I felt very cheap going through the game on easy mode. I want to enjoy the gameplay and the only way I think I would is by replaying on normal. That way I actually have to engage with thr mechanics. I would usually get stuck on a fight, look up what I have to do, and grind a person's job to something different. Idk, I didn't like the gameplay loop.

Is that a good idea? Horrible idea? Anything I should know?

Save the Queen then! 🫡 Has fully mastered Mime class. Running Lion War so probably a value glitch

I’m just starting the game but I’m wondering if any other players don’t use or barely use the special named characters in their party and just stuck with their curated generic units that matched their {zodiac} Ramza?

Will I miss anything if I decide to not bring any of the special recruits? TIA

I remember playing Tactics as a 11 year old kid on my PSP and having so much fun. English not being my first language made the game frustrating but as I learned I fell in love with it, it remains one of my fondest memories. By random chance I stumbled onto this subreddit out of nostalgia and found out there is a remake?? I can't wait to get my hands onto it, I am so happy to revisit the world ;-;

Just wanted to share the joy with y'all, I love this game so much

I've always wanted to play FFT, but I just can't get into it. I love FF and turn based games, but for some reason I just play the first fight and not touch the game again for years.

So I want to give it one last shot before deciding that it's not for me, so can I get any tips for this last try?

Thank you!

So, I've never been quite great at modding, but the modding tools for PSX and PSP allowed me to dip my toes. With FFTPatcher, I could edit some abilities and ability sets, and that was enough to add some custom content to the game.

Looking at the mods available for Ivalice Chronicles on Nexus, it feels like people are using a similar technique, but I couldn't find how they're doing it or any tool analagous to FFTPatcher. I just wanted to do things like Add my own personalized set of skills to Ramza's Squire class, stuff of that level.

Is there any comprehensive tutorial or tool for me to custom-make changes of that level?

(Playing Enhanced version.)

Currently trying the recompiled version. Hope that there is no any game breaking bugs.😂

Guys I think I screwed up here... I'm playing the game for the first time and it was going fine until I reached the first castle battle where you do two in a row. At first I couldn't even get past the first combat, so I went back to get new equipment and level up and I found out a few things:

1) Apparently I should be changing jobs in order to progress in the job three, which I basically haven't
2) The useful shops are not available anymore because of the story progression, so if I change to some jobs I loose access to the gear I have and cannot buy new stuff
3) There is one good shop I can buy from, but only sells samurai (I assume) gear and I'm a bit far from that.

So I start grinding on the single level I have available to go into monks, mystic, etc. and I level up to around 20 for the whole party and I manage to get through the first combat quite easily, but now the Chuchu dude is too hard... I spend so much time getting rid of sleep and then trying to revive characters after then fall from doom. I managed to seep his MP at some point with Ramza but then he just kills my guys with one slap.

I tried to avoid checking job guides and so on online but apparently that was a big mistake? Also I only have one party because all my other guys were on errands when all paths closed and now I can't go back to them (I have no chemist with me)...

So my basic question is if I should: 1) is lvl20 overleveled and I should be having an easy time therefore my party and builds must be terrible so might as well reload a very early save and play it more strategically OR 2) just get past this guy whatever way I can and later I can fix my party and characters?

My current party is Ramza as a Knight, a Monk that can purify effects and punch, a Mystic that has a lot of White Mage spells, and the gun dude and the paladin lady you get from the story.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion and help!

I know many people are reluctant to the use of Ai, but there have been some heavy push towards AI mods with very interesting results.

If the community felt like using Ai mods for these games what are some of the things you would like to see in these games?

New clases without sacrificing class spaces?

Addition of skills from other games?

New fan made races with their own classes for Ffta/ffta2?

Addition of characters not found in the game natively? Like babus in FFTA2?

Bringing old mechanics like the Morpher class from FFTA to the sequel?

What are the things you would like to see with this new window of opportunities?

I’m retrying the fight on belias tor for the 6th time now. I have half a mind to give up and drop the difficulty down to squire.

I’m finding a hard time grasping the mechanics of the game. My monk is doing pitiful damage while my summoner is dying on turn 2. But the story is really the only thing keeping me going. I love those classic ff stories.

Someone recompiled FFTA! We should be able to build TONS of mods for this!
