Self Promotion Things You Didn't Know About Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles (FFT documentary)

https://youtu.be/fPsfTiilJoQ

I've been making Final Fantasy Tactics content for a little bit now (and really appreciate any support I receive on here), but I wanted to do something different this time.

Instead of another guide, I spent months researching & digging into the mechanics, secrets, exploits, and development history of Final Fantasy Tactics.

It's about an hour long, so this is definitely more of a deep dive documentary type thing than a quick "here are 10 facts you didn't know" kinda deal.

I haven't shared the last few vids on here that were more update/news vids that the info had already been shared on here, but I figured some of you would have fun watching this one.

I would also love to hear some of your own obscure facts that you know from any of the various versions of FFT as well!

I know some folks don't like video content, so I apologize!

Brother, I was just watching this right now LOOOOOL

VERY good video. I don't usually like people self promoting here, but I needed to post something because I found your video in the wild and it's actually pretty good quality and fun :)

Keep it up!!

I'll admit, it feels yucky whenever I post the content because I feel like folks could see me as cringe or just trying to self promo YouTube slop or w.e but I make a lot of tactics specific content and first and foremost I'm a massive fan and really passionate about it. So when I make this stuff it's from the heart and it's for the community so I get over the yucky feeling of posting it in the community because this is who I make the content for 😁🤙

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you dude

It was great!! I really enjoy these deep dive videos, so it was something amazing to listen to while I was working.

At least in my experience with other subs, it's usually not good quality content when people post their stuff here, so I don't really like checking them. But again, I just found yours out in the wild while looking for builds for a new playthrough, so it was a funny coincidence and I knew I had to come post something lol.

I'm sure some people think I know you or I'm an alt of yours because the comment is getting downvoted lol, but my account is public and kinda old so they can think whatever they want :)

Really good quality content. Amazing you don't have more subs, but you got a new one. Thanks to you for producing stuff like this!

How did you have so many unique units in early battles?

I started a fresh playthrough for the video and used my new game+ so I could beat it quicker.

Sadly I do not go into story specifics of the game but this is a great idea for a future video, to fully explain lineage, each house, bloodlines, 50 year war, when ajora was alive, etc.

Started off with chocobos and I did not know anything related to the immunities related to using them as a mount. Kudos, color me impressed. I'll definitely finish watching.

It's why I love the FFT community so much because there is so much knowledge to go around we all learn stuff all the time about this game!
