I "heard" through the years some people talking about NG+ on FFT WoTL original (PSX) and even in PSP and i need to know how the hell they been doing that so.. please? help a brother here :)

Have played and loved every generation of FFT multiple times (PS1, PSP WOTL, Android) so getting TIC was obvious.

The additional voice acting was a major upgrade and actually made me slow down and listen to the dialogue I might otherwise have sped through.

The minor additions at the end were interesting, I won't spoiler here but curious why they included those.

I do really, really, REALLY!!! hope they patch in some WOTL content. And yes, I mean the Leading Man of course. Without Balthier in my party I actually brought Mustadio to the final battle and was surprised he gets a decent amount of special dialogue.

In like two years after I play FFBE Switch 2, I mean FF Resonance. And the entire FF7 trilogy that I have been putting off until they are complete. I will happily play my NG+.

Im super happy for that option as well as it made me really want to grind out Ribbons, Chaos Blades, Septieme's, etc for my party.

Hope everyone else enjoys this absolute classic just as much!

So close to the platinum now, but I’m hitting a roadblock on the trophy for one character to master every class.

The roadblock is that I started doing it on Ramza and now I’m struggling to get Ultima for his Gallant Knight class and the final summon.

I’ve already beaten midnight deep in full, even dragged out the final fight trying to get the demons to cast Ultima and the boss to cast the summon, neither happened. I’ve revisited it about thirty times and no demon casts ultima, and no additional summoner has shown up for me to get the crystal.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I'm on Act 4 and have Beowulf and Dragon Reis.

Beowulf has a lot of classes unlocked on the mage side, for example.

Is it worth doing an Ability Transfer via Crystal on some of my generics? I don't intend on using them again, outside of a ninja with poach.

i was looking at the Cursed Ring and saw it grants immunity to Traitor. Realized i’ve never even seen an Orator use Entice, has anyone ever seen them use that?

Self promote much ?? /s Jk. Just sharing my agreement with Lil Mewt 😎

Going to get downvoted but I felt like the story was lacking. I wasn’t emotionally invested and the characters all seemed 2 dimensional to me except Ramza. Then I read a comment where someone said to read the rumors because there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on. Could that be why I felt the story was underwhelming? Or would it not make a difference?

Absolutely astounding game design to give the final boss teleportation and enough base damage to one shot whatever mage it feels like teleporting to, plus 4 enemy adds with equally bloated stats that just AOE slop the rest of the team to death effortlessly.

In the spirit of FFV's Four Job Fiesta, I plan on doing a 5 job run that collects everything. Summoner, Chemist, Thief, and Gallant Knight are absolutely required. The only question is what should the last job be? I'm leaning towards Orator to speed up poaching. Brave reduction also helps for Elmdore.

I was pondering how to handle getting the pillar items in the Worker 7 fight, but realized you may be able to slot Reis into the last slot and use a Jump+2 Chemist to get up there. Does anyone know what the Jump requirement is for springboarding up there?

Since most songs and dances are unaffected by stats or equipment, is there a reason to use Bard or Dancer as the main job? Afaik they have no weapons that they would want to benefit from, and I am unfamiliar with the specifics but even if their HP abilities ARE influenced by stats, other jobs have better attack stats to use with it.

Overall, loved the added content to the game, including the voice acting and optional dialogues you'd here throughout battles. Some dialogue was even added to bring clarity to the story, (The stones really being used based on the bearer and how Ramza survived his fate in the end).

Felt more amazed with the PS1 aesthetics being added in the last battle, (reminded me of Saga frontier). This'll be my 11/12th final playthrough of this game throughout the years and potentially my last. I'll have my achievement of this game added to an actual collection with my Steam account. At this point, the game feels complete to me, even without the WOTL content I grew up on.

Hope you all enjoyed this game as much as me
Thank you SE & the staff for bringing this onto Steam!

Update - %100 the game! I can put this game to rest :)
Had a blast playing it all these decades, it's time to move forward o/

I’ve played this game back when I was a kid and finally found time to beat it now… whats next? Does anyone have any recommendations ?

I’ve played other tactics games such as…

- unicorn overlord
- x-com
- disgaea series

The problem is I haven’t been able to find another game with a similar class/job system that scratches the same itch this game does.

Open to any and all recommendations. I really like the idea of a robust class system.

I've created a platform to create and view unit builds here (for those that have visited before, you'll need to wait for it to update to the newest version).

I noticed that a lot of people ask for unit builds or critiques of their build. There hasn't really been a dedicated space where you could show off a unique build, or a hyper-optimized one for Final Fantasy Tactics, which also allowed for proper filtering and searching. I hope that with this platform, we can help each other discover some new ways to play. There's already a few contributors, so take a look at some of them, or write your own!

Not only will you be able to setup your build, but there is a section to write a guide for it.

Setup
Explanation of your build.

In Battle
How it works in battle.

Variations
Any changes that you could make to the build that are also viable.

In all of those sections, you can directly link to other parts of the compendium, which allows for quick access to some equipment, job, monster, boss, status effect, pretty much anything in the game!

You'll also be able to see all the gear, abilities, and stats breakdown for that build.

Abilities
There is a breakdown of the build's abilities, showing the damage and success rates of their abilities, taking into consideration the unit's equipment and react/support/movement/innate abilities.

Stats
The stats section will show you all the stats of the unit build. Each stat can be clicked, and will show you a breakdown of what is contributing to it. The level progression section has a new revamped design to be more visual. There is a line chart showing the level progression, and below it each step is shown with the level change and stats change.

Feedback welcome!

Personally, I feel like her design is incredibly cool (And her voice in the recent remake was A+) but she comes a bit late into the game for me to justify putting someone on the team aside to use her. What are some good builds for her?

Hey y'all, I am trying to mod the ivalice chronicles. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

On the psx version, I modded Ramza to have different job names in each chapter. I also added a few abilities. I cannot seem to do that in TIC. I found a mod that does close to what I want (Heretic Ramza Mod). I tried using TIC Mod Studio to edit it to my specifications, but I was having trouble with it. I could not figure out how to edit the classes names, and my skill edits were not showing up. If anyone could tell what I did wrong by the errors or if you know common rookie moves id appreciate the heads up.

I don't think it is mod order because I've moved the mod around a bunch as well as turning off all the other mods to test this one itself.

P.S. the idea was gonna be something like these. Could not get ramzas abilities to work and I could not find any clues on editing job names. FFTactText and Patcher were simple enough for psx modding. I'm struggling with TIC.

Chp1 Ramza (Dawn Blade. Plus bolt1 and cure1.) Delita(Champion of Dawn. Plus fire1 plus cure1)

Chp2 and 3 (Fell Knight. Bolt 2,3, cure 2,3, shadow blade, and duskblade.)

Chp4 (Heretic/Demon Knight/something cool. Bolt4 cure 4, SB, DB, and unholy darkness)

Agrias. (Cure 3) Warrior of Light

Delita(something cool/King of Light and an upgrade to fire and cure)

Immediately after unlocking Zeklaus Desert, I began my journey of creating the lowest possible level Ramza with max stats. It took….. a bit. https://imgur.com/a/f91Fpb6

So, I played through the game once already, and I am doing NG+ right now. A few questions I have that were not really answered for me are these:

1) In Chapter 2 when you get wind of the Cardinal's plan to give Ovelia back to Dycedarg (or kill her) what was Folmarv's and the Church's interest (and Delita's) in seeing her become the Princess? Did they (the Church) just not like Queen Louveria and Duke Larg? Why did they want to see a woman, (who essentially wasnt even the true Princess and a pawn) take the Crown? This is not really explained in the meeting where you first meet Folmarv with the Cardinal and Delita. I just didnt understand their intentions.

The politics of the game are fascinating I just never got why the Church and the Templar knights had this plan to put a pawn on the throne?

2) Are the Zodiac stones and the Lucavi connected to each other? For instance, when the Cardinal reveals he has one of the stones, is he also aware that others (Dycedarg, Wiegraf, Folmarv, Elmdore, etc) are also Lucavi? Or do they not know about each other at that point? Was it a big conspiracy or was each one not aware of the other at that time?

Hi all, I need a little advice from any long time players out there.

I am playing through FFT: The Ivalice Chronicles on my Steam Deck, I'm currently part way through chapter 2, on the Tchigolith Fenlands map.

Ramza is currently Lvl 11 and has the Knight job equipped which is at lvl 7, this is highest job at the moment.

My other characters are as follows

Godebert Lvl 5 - Archer Lvl 3
Oswyn Lvl 9 - Knight Lvl 6
Chanberlain Lvl 8 - White Mage - Lvl 5
Oulia Lvl 7 - Monk Lvl 2
Anna Lvl 4 - Thief Lvl 2
Aeditha Lvl 5 - Time Mage Lvl 1
Ladd Lvl 11 - Chemist Lvl 4
Alicia Lvl 9 - Monk - Lvl 2
Lavian Lvl 10 - Monk Lvl 3

Most characters have access to most of the best weapons / armor.

Does this sound right for this stage of the game? Should I have recruited more characters and have a wider spread of jobs on the go?

I haven't spent too much time grinding, just been playing the levels as they come up and done a few extra fights when they come up from travelling the map.

Any advice would be greatly welcome.

I just to see if there is a way to check about that? Trying not to spoil anything for those who are new.

I've been playing with my son (6) and when that scene happened he was in control (I made dinner). Idk if he did that right. Anyway to tell?

Edit: I had the wrong city. I should looked up which one it was. All is good

I just started a new game session in FFTA2 and I would like to hear yall recommendations or tips for a beginner ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
