It's Thursdays what day we have a grand old fashioned PS1 Tactics thread instead of remake or that weird remastered at the end of the year

Favorite five man party

>Ramza as Gun toting chemist
>Bard on healing & mana Regen
>Ninja to steal & catch those rare items & enemy poaching
>have to bring along the chocobo for that awesome ride ability let's your slow units ride across the map
>last slot can be summon for their group lockdown with Ifrit & Rama

I've heard good things about mimes & mediator but never used em?

>>716373473 (OP)
I liked having Ramza as a jumping monk. There is something very satisfying about him jumping up thirty feet into the air to divebomb punch things.

I replayed this last year after not touching it for over a decade. didn't really care for the story but gameplay was fun. will replay in another decade or so

ramza: punch ninja. equip archer's concentrate so he doesn't miss, he'll kill enemies even without the monk skill
generic magic user: mainly use summon, sometimes use bolt/haste/demi/whatever, also get teleport and mag atk up
generic magic user: same as previous, also dip into mediator for the skill that lowers faith
generic ninja: attack with ninja swords (don't bother increasing bravery)
agrias: go geomancer for attack up, then back to holy knight
(lategame add cid. don't bother reclassing)

Can I ask a question about a different final fantasy game
Is standard sphere just for babies and I as an experienced gamer should go for expert or do I actually want standard for a first time

>>716374429
Is that X don't remember that from the PS2 version?

>>716375167
X yeah, if it's not in the original I'll take that to mean standard was added for this steam one I got that's got all this
Guess i'll go expert

>>716375167
International version
>>716374429
Do standard. Expert has fewer slots overall, but mainly it gives you more opportunities to fuck up your build (nothing you can't recover from, but you might stuck with shitty characters for a good chunk of the game).

>>716375245
No, expert was added in the "International" version of the game. Standard was original.

>>716375250
>>716375303
Ah I see, I guess i'll go with standard for now, maybe if I replay it one day I'll do an expert run

>>716374429
Standard is unironically better in the endgame.
Expert is more like for special challenge runs

I use the JP glitch these days to save some grinding, get everyone teleport

Ramza - punch ninja

Harem squad. Those girl put out 50-100 damage map wide without even having to move

>don't bother increasing bravery

Huh wait I always thought it had direct impact on your attack rating?

>>716373473 (OP)
Ramza as Mediator/White mage
4 monsters

>>716374429
No, you want standard at all times. Expert is pointless, if you want to challenge yourself do a no sphere grid playthrough.

Bump

>>716375513
>JP glitch

Huh tell me more anon?

>>716376237
depends on weapon. ramza benefits from high bravery because he uses fists (and knight swords at the very end; reclassed to squire and gave him dual wield). but for ninja swords your damage depends on phys attack and speed.
you would do more damage if you increased your other ninja's bravery to max and used punches but imo it's not worth the time and effort.

>>716377970
in the ps1 version (can't remember if PSP) you can scroll the JP page to get abilities for cheap
>>716375513
much worse if you're on PSP and dance animations are slow as shit

>>716378250
Yep played some of the PSP version few years back the slower animations were really jarring

>>716374429
I just washed up on the beach
I'm having fun but how the fuck did they release this on steam with no JP audio in the english version

>>716376293
I never found white mages all that useful in tactics, strangely enough they were great in V & VI

>breaks your game

>>716380423
>implying

anon please we all know the real game changer mid game are ninja & pic-related

>>716380787
You mean the reaction ability from them. Samurai is otherwise cool but ass. Mods that make katanas not break makes them much better. As is they are just melee that can slot black magic well.

>>716380423
What if I'm to retarded to use arithmatic?
Not so broken now huh.

>>716381114
That's where mediators shine literally my enemy's friends become my allies through talking them into their cause!

>>716374048
I never really used the guest characters much after learning that you could make your own units,what made them special?

>>716382078
their primary class usually has special abilities. like agrias has cool sword skills, rafa and malak have RNG spells, etc

>>716373473 (OP)
I love Final Fantasy Tactics but I hate the wotl translation, so I never really get to talk about it much anymore.

>>716373473 (OP)
samurai steal ramza with 0 faith. thats it.

>>716373473 (OP)
I've always been partial to Punch Art Lancers and Draw Out Wizards

>>716382078
Give Mustadio Battle Skill he can break enemy items with high accuracy from far away. In addition to his debilitating Engineer skills it's great

>>716380263
>HD demaster
emulate it

I just saved you from Sephiroth!

>>716375513
Get a mime in there to really increase your output

>>716383505
For all the hate that translation gets I never see anyone fixing the original script to not be a complete mess.
It's really hard recommending that version to someone new.
