FF Tactics
It ends just as the plot was starting to get good,what was square smoking feels like they could have had five more chapter's instead of 4?

I was half expecting some NIS thousands of HP bloat but the "hardest" fights were the demons and ninja has Matsuno ever talk about making more in this world?

I know the advance games exist but they may as well be completely different universes with all the fantasy races missing from the 1st game

That's why I always wanted it on PC, hoping for a bigger modding community. There's so much potential.
Even just for the PSX version there are so many mods, someone even showed me a WIP remake of FF6 in the engine which is such a cool idea.

The same way high ranking priests and knights templar can be? At some point in the distant past, Ajora Glabados desired power and made a contract with Lucavi.

>>717541042
The fuck are you even talking about? The Death Corps plotline was wrapped up in Chapter 1 so I assume you're talking about the Demons manipulating the Glabados Church who were in turn orchestrating the Civil War to undermine trust in the current noble leadership so they could administer the realm as a proper theocracy. The Death Corps existed to demonstrate the critical gap between the lower class and the ruling class in the wake of the recently concluded war between Ivalice and... I wanna say Romanda? I can't recall the name. But the Death Corps were all war vets who were conscripted from the peasantry and then cast aside following the war because Ivalice was pretty much bankrupted by it. Hence the massive unrest (which the demons were taking advantage of, they feed on chaos and violence)

Technically the demons had very little to do with the plan to bump off Marquis Elmdor. That was all Duke Dycedarg's idea. The Glabados Church and their demonic puppetmasters didn't start acting directly until after King Denamunda's death, iirc. Their first big move we see is sending Delita to prevent Princess Ovelia's assassination (also a Larg/Dycedarg plan) so as to use her and Prince Goltana to plunge Ivalice into a full-on civil war

You realize back then translations were not given time or access to the original writers to ask if something was supposed to be literally translated or it's an in-universe name, it's why the Knights of the Northern Sky are Hokuten in the first place.
Anonymous No.717547358 >>717547519

But the entire reason demons were able to become involved was because the Church was corrupt to begin with.

It was due to the Glabados' plan of using the legend of the Zodiac Braves to unite the people under their banner that the Holy Stones found themselves in the hands of the very people that became Lucavi Demons. The demonic incursion was purely opportunistic; the real problems that Ivalice faced were caused by political turmoil following the recent 50 years war, and the greed and corruption of its leadership.

That's of course putting aside the fact that the Church was founded upon the false doctrine of Ajora being a Holy Saint. That's not really connected to the current events that unfold in the game aside from the Glabados Sect being kind of a skeezy organization in general.

Nope. It was supposed to be "Stop Breath" as in, an attack that instantly ceases your breathing, killing you. Just one of the several fun quirks in the rather messy OG translation. I'd still take it over the newer one though, that shit is so corny it's more distracting than any number of typos.

Eh. I mean, aside from the sharp learning curve early on (for kids that had never played a tactics rpg) the game really isn't THAT difficult so by the time you can finally make a Dancer or a Bard, you're probably stomping everything anyway.

I remember I specifically pushed to Bard to several characters for access to Move +3 (I think?) and then just ignored the class. I also vaguely recall hearing that Dancer can be overpowered and unkillable with the right build and equipment or something, but again, why bother?

Mehh. I've always believed it made more narrative sense if he didn't somehow survive the massive map destroying nuke in the depths of the underworld from which there was no escape. But if he really did magically get back out and "go into hiding" (by riding past his own grave on the day of his own funeral only to vanish) at least in this scenario he hasn't suddenly given up on fighting for the little guy (thus undoing all of his character development since the end of Chp 1)

Maybe it might explain why he left Olan to be burned at the stake among other things.

I tried that game once as a kid and didn't like the combat, so I let a friend borrow it. He swore that I would love it if I gave it chance after he beat it so I let someone else borrow it and they said the same thing. I still haven't given it a second chance.

I guess. But he was a wanted criminal in Ivalice since the end of Chapter 2 that didn't stop him from trying to do what he believed was right, and fighting the injustice right in front of him. Maybe with the civil war over and the church thwarted there's nothing more to do there, but... I dunno.

I can overlook showing up to his own funeral and refusing to speak to Olan and then vanishing into thin air. I can overlook even Orlandu not telling Olan what's going on. I can even headcanon that the Holy Stones that Ramza gathered produced a miracle that saved everyone. What worries me is that Ramza's story felt complete, and was really good for what it already was. I worry that narratively speaking, dragging it out further instead of letting it end on the note it did won't really add anything meaningful to his arc and will just drag down the original plot.

So is this even still being narrated from the perspective of Alazlam, a historian that existed long after Ramza and Delita were dead one way or another?

Probably, the Durai reports were only just released for Alazlam to corroborate the official story with Delita's and the Church's approval. And there's nothing to say that Ramza could have died, literally the narrative focus for Tactics is in regards to the War of the Lions and what was the "secret" that led to its eventual end and the rise of the Hero King.

I would say the entire sequence of events from him chasing Vormav into the underworld and Rofel destroying the only portal out, and then getting hit point blank by the biggest explosion in the entire game might suggest that Ramza didn't really come away from all that unscathed but, whatever.

>the Durai reports were only just released for Alazlam to corroborate the official story with Delita's and the Church's approval
Are you saying that Delita was still alive in Alazlam's time? News to me. I thought he was a historian working from old texts, not to corroborate the official story, but to challenge it in the modern day.

Ramza still had a job to do in chapter 2, especially since his family was involved in the corruption and demonic forced. By the end of the game there is nothing left for him in Ivalice. Him and his whole crew would be hunted down wherever he went. He had no family besides Alma, he had no nobility anymore, as far as everyone in Ivalice is considered he is a disgraced murderer who killed a cardinal in cold blood. Even if the truth was hidden he still accomplished his mission and that was good enough for him.

Read this and imagined Olan choking on his final, frantic breaths as he died from Church sanctioned smoke inhalation. Ivalice may have still had some bad actors in high places. But Ramza and Orlandu had done enough, I suppose. You're on your own, Astrology boy.

But really that's all beside the point. Like I said I can easily rationalize away any problems presented but the real issue is dragging out a good story until it turns into a worse one. Tale as old as tales are.

>has Matsuno ever talk about making more in this world?
there was talk of interest in a sequel at some point, in another continent involving Ramza and his group, the impact that eventually results in Delita's forces from the old continent getting involved

Doubt it'll ever see the light of day, but it'd be nice.
It's somewhat setup in another game:
----
According to the Final Fantasy Tactics collaboration in Lord of Vermilion III, which Matsuno says is canon, a few years after the ending of Final Fantasy Tactics, Ramza is still with his comrades, and in fact the group has grown even larger. The group is in Ordallia and helping out a resistance movement that opposes the country's oppressive regime. In this setting, there are rumors that as king of Ivalice, Delita is considering sending troops to Ordallia to help quash this resistance, and Ramza is prepared to oppose Delita once again in order to protect his friends, both new and old. While it is doubtful that the king himself would come to Ordallia, this nevertheless would put the two former friends on opposite sides once again.

For those who don’t know, Ordallia actually plays a significant role in the events leading up to the war of the lions.

Sorry, I got confused when you said that the Durai Report was released with Delita and the Church's approval so Alazlam could corroborate the official account. Corroborate in this case meaning, to prove it accurate. Whereas in my recollection Alazlam was doing the opposite of corroborating the official story in his quest to uncover "historical truth"

>Delita has a vested interest in keeping Ramza and Alma from being brought to the forefront of HIS ascension to the throne.
Also I still think that by the time Alazlam is researching this and making it public, that Delita's time has long since passed. So he doesn't have vested interests in anything anymore.

I got the impression that the events Alazlam was looking into were NOT recent events, but shit that happened many, many years in the past. Hence the focus on the word history.

I don't recall. In the PSX version, directly following the enormous blast Altima hit everything with upon being defeated, we see Olan and Balmafula attending what appears to be a funeral for Ramza and Alma. They lament that they haven't even a corpse to bury in the plot, and moments later we see what appears to be Ramza and Alma riding chocobos. Olan tries to chase them down but they disappear somewhere and Olan goes on to research and document what really happened during the Lion War. I found this to be ambiguous enough, others disagreed, apparently Matsuno decided at some point that Ramza's adventures continued. And looking at how this setting has been handled since the late 90s you can consider that either a good or a bad thing.

Okay so FFT takes place on the same world as FFXII but an unknown amount of time in the future, after the Occuria relinquish their grip on history and let Humes do whatever they like.
Naturally, they fuck everything up and get manipulated by the Lucavi, which were actually just the Scions of Darkness that each originally had an assigned purpose in the cosmology of the world, but did a Luciferian rebellion against their creators. They were sealed away across the face of the world, but in XII you release them for power boosts and thus inevitably doom the world in the long run because their opposites have all fucked off and without the Occuria there is nothing to counterbalance them. They can keep trying over and over again to break the wheel and there's not really anything anybody can do to solve the problem in any sort of permanent fashion, since the methods with which they were sealed went with the Occuria when they left.

Gerun was RIGHT.

More like expose them for the sake of the people of Ivalice sooo the same shit they were doing before getting trapped in the underworld. Ramza's goal wasn't just to save his sister but also expose the truth behind the plot and confront the ones orchestrating it. If the people were still laboring under corrupt leadership, there's no reason to think that Ramza would run away (again) after swearing during Chapter 2 that he'd never turn a blind eye.

It's character regression if he did what he said he wouldn't do anymore, and ran. Unless I'm given a more compelling reason than, "people don't like him"

Expose them with what evidence? The Germonique Scriptures are gone. Everyone involved in the Lucavi plot is dead so they can't corroborate anything. It's irrefutable that Ramza murdered the Cardinal, the second in command of the church, why would anyone believe his word when there is no evidence?

For me, LUCT felt like it got lost in the weeds. More convoluted =/= better. FFT was more focused and streamlined in its storytelling, which allowed its cast and events to be more memorable. The framing device of the story being told from the perspective of a historian putting together what really happened back then is also very good. It all paints a very clear and compelling picture.

As a complete package, LUCT feels extremely rough compared to FFT and its multiple routes and inconsistent characterizations are distractions. Looking back it feels all over the place, and most of its cast was very flat.

I recall Zalbag sounding unhappy about having to give that order. Something along the lines of telling Algus to, "Go on! Do it!" But maybe it's different in the PSP "War of the Yon Large Feline that verily doth Roar forsooth"

This along with the way he reacts to Dycedarg's killing of Prince Larg among other things leads me to the conclusion that Zalbag was a beta who typically followed his brother's orders, and finding out about the poisoning plot was the last straw that lead him to finally grow a fuckin' spine.

And that rebellion was far from irrelevant, considering how it was being twisted to Larg's (and Dycedarg's) ends. It's also no accident that the Church took in the leader of that irrelevant rebellion and made him party to their plot to undermine the noble's influence.

Would you prefer the word "pursue" then? Glad we've arrived at the pure semantics phase of this discussion, that's always my favorite part of pointless internet debates. I sadly have to leave so this'll be my last post for a while, so I'll get to the point and leave it at that:

If Olan didn't feel the need to turn his back on this and put his life on the line, I can't see Ramza turning his back at that point as anything more than character regression. Given his declaration in Chapter 2 that he wouldn't run away anymore, when offered to return to Igros and stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. But him refusing to speak with Olan and bailing at the end of the game is supposed to make sense to me? Retarded.

You see, beyond quibbling over small details, my real concern is themes and character consistency. This inane back and forth has no value because instead of talking about how any of this fits the overarching plot we're beating off some dumb hypothetical that dances around the real issue, which is that Ramza's story deserves to end on a less wishy washy note and dragging it out into a sequel would only muddy it further

That's a new one. So rather than burying Ramza's significance and erasing his role in history, what we experience at the end of the game is the lie that... Ramza went to hell and fought a demonic incarnation of St. Ajora and a Bloody Angel and died in a massive fuckoff explosion? THAT'S the manipulation of information about Ramza's death?

Basically you remember that scene where you fight on a graveyard of airships in FF Tactics? That's the remains of the period of Ivalice FF Tactics took place in, I believe.

Revenant Wings takes place after XII.

I've been told Vagrant Story takes place in the Ivalice setting but I'm not sure where it's supposed to land in the timeline.

Anything else?

Pretty sure FFTA is only set in Ivalice for the marketing but its existence basically would break the timeline so I think it's more like "made up Ivalice as seen through the eyes of a child" whereas as FFTA2 is just bad and no one wants to even think of where it should fit in.

Loosely, Ramza was branded a heretic, so the idea that he would be working around or with the enemies of the kingdom is entirely believable from historical text.
Ramza's family was incredibly powerful after all and one of the only families that could credibly make claim to land or possibly even the throne if he rallied the people to him.

So
>Ramza was sent to hell where he could never escape EVER and died lol
Isn't out of character for theological persecuting types to push as a narrative.

What we know though is that the report itself states that Ramza clearly survived and that they could not talk to him because at his own funeral to acknowledge him would be to put a death sentence to him.
He came to his own funeral, to see his lands, and his friends once last time, and he left now "nameless".
The argument that Ramza died is only half truth, because historically he did die and he was buried.

We are only given a small document which is the entire story of FF Tactics that says otherwise
>A blond haired warrior and a small woman showed up to the funeral, they were nameless, they did not stay long and rode off shortly after
This is all the report says because this is what WE see and infer from the ending of the game.

As far as we are aware, Ramza and his sister talked to all their friends and stayed for a long time, but the report says otherwise. Because it's the safety of all people that Ramza not be named less they all be named traitors.

and to continue, please remember that the one dude Orran(?) was literally named a traitor heretic for these very documents.
So no he would not just name a bunch of co-conspirators who would be meeting Ramza at his own funeral.
Because the church if they found those documents would hunt all of those people also to silence them.
Everyone who is directly named left with Ramza and his sister on their journey, because they were all traitor heretics to the crown.

just because you want to write the correct history doesn't mean you also accidentally throw everyone under the bus also when these people still live in Ivalice.

ive played through this game roughly 5 times, but somehow i encountered a fight in the main story that i had only needed to do once.
the fight was way harder than any other, and i cant seem to find it again.

it has a big gap in the middle, so getting from one side to the other was difficult.
it has a bunch of fast acting 3 headed dragons.
each dragon hits you 3 times. each hit was nearly 90-99% of my max hp, dealing nearly 3 times my max hp in dmg per turn.
only cid with auto haste, ramzas speed increase to him and many re-attempts, was i finally able to get lucky and win, to progress to the final battle.

but in every playthrough since, ive never encountered this fight again. anyone know what triggers it?

I can tell you're sheltered or young or sheltered and young.

You see a lot of dudes not get stuff like this when they see some girl they like stay with a dude that fucked up and hit her once (not repeatedly over many years, just one). Sometimes shit just happens. Sometimes you just react. You can see it in the guys having a fight in highschool and a girl tries to break it up and gets hit by a backswing. Delita got stabbed. He stabbed her back. It was an in the moment reaction. It's not something you think about. It's not something you plan for. If he really loved her he probably regretted it the moment his normal common sense came back after the adrenaline rush of being stabbed that resulted in him stabbing her back.

People are animals. They have reflexes both physical and mental. Sometimes you lash out unintentionally, and that can happen to anyone, even those with discipline, because no one is on top of it 100% of the time all day every day for every single year of their life.

Sometimes you have a bad day. Sometimes you have a bad moment. Sometimes the situation is bad.

You wouldn't be entirely wrong as combat design makes some things like guarding and attack magic pretty useless. And enemy type affinity is a mechanic largely ignored by most players, I think.

Why not? "Forcing" and "manipulating" are not as big of deal as you make it out.
Like I've said "being forced" is a life of princess. She knew from the childhood that eventually she would have to marry a man she doesn't love for the sake of the country. It's not fair yes, but realistically Delita is the best she could've hoped for.
As for "being manipulated" it's pretty much a moot point because it's not like she was tricked into doing something nasty or anything. Delita was mostly honest and respectful towards Ovelia.

And considering you can only bring 5, maybe 4 because of Byblos, people with you to fight him there's a hard limit to how many people can master Summoner.

The addition of fantasy races to the world of Ivalice was stupid and added nothing to the world building or stories.
Except for the Viera, who are just sexy humens wearing stilletos and bunny ears.

Sounds like the 2nd fight you have with Barich, the magic-gun wielder of the Templars.
But that's mandatory.

A buffed Charge command fixed Archer's issue for me. They act like Lancers now where you can sneak in your best Charge before the enemy moves and those +1 to +5 are deadly.
Maybe buff Longbows a bit as well as an indirect buff since they are exclusive to this job iirc.

Archers were pretty terrifying in dorter when they had gear you didn't have access to and were fast enough to ohko your mages with charge. They fall off quickly afterwards
