Thread 2174434

Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, and any derivatives in this thread!

The Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is out, as well as the Tactics Ogre remaster. Also shilling the excellent One Vision mod for the PSP version of Tactics Ogre, which rivals and even exceeds the Reborn remaster, depending on taste.

This bastard of a battle that was the first serious challenge Ive faced. Normally assassination battles are super easy, but the choke point on this map combined with the two golems using upgraded rampart aura to keep me from getting by them was brutal. Pulled out all the stops on mobility, equipping water wading and jumping skills, levitation items, and just shoved all my units to one side until the golems finally screwed up their positioning and the target wandered into range of my fighters.

I've also found these necromancers in the woods dungeon that drop special daggers that let you swap bodies with an enemy while keeping your Intelligence and Mind stats. So I spent all of yesterday capturing faeries and ghosts with high base mental stats and bodysnatching enemies with good physical stats to make great hybrid units. Currently training up my newly created warlock, terror knight, and ninja I got this way. You can also steal necromancer class marks from them, but I don't really have the spells to use necromancers effectively. I just had my warlock swap to one to snag the undead recruitment skill before switching back.

I have been playing FFTA2 for the first time.
Is it just me or is a Red Mage with Summoner A abilities and Blood Price support abillity super broken? You can oneshot a group of enemies on turn 1 by double casting Maduin summons.

>>2174609
Yes, double casting summoner abilities is very broken. Classic combo. Good times. I remember I used an assassin/summoner in my first FFTA playthrough. So nostalgic.

>>2174434 (OP)
I love Tactics Ogre Reborn. I considered getting FFT but one time long ago I tried it on an emulator and it was slow as shit. Is that fixed in the PC remaster or is does it feel like a drag to play the game?

>>2175182
Its still pretty slow paced, yeah. I usually play these games with one of my controller triggers assigned to fast forward. I love Tactics Ogre too. Honestly not sure if I could go back to FFT after this.

>>2174434 (OP)
First off, FUCK LUCT for corrupting my fucking save when I'm 80% of the way through
Second, KoL is the best in the series and it's not even close
Third, fuck your asshole "best friend" for being a nigger whichever side you choose
>You will kill those people?
>You evil piece of shit!
>You won't kill those people?
>You naive piece of shit!

>>2175279
Vyce is an asshole, yeah. His only real use to me is giving me a a Ranger class mark for Denam.

Proper siege time. This time I'm prepared.

>>2175187
This series easily has my favourite portraits of any game
The perfect blend of weeb and realistic

They're really good. This is the female dragoon portrait. She's a dexterity dragoon. With a crossbow and a heavy shield, armor, dex gloves and dex ring. She uses dragoon's innate magic to instill frost into her weapon. MAXIMUM damage. But also decent defense because of Dragoon and stats and their access to all types of armor. This particular variant of heavy shield is also meant for shield bashing, so it gives a bonus to attack as well as defense. Attack also applies to her crossbow because video gaem.

Really not a fan of this guy. Using a hawkman healer on this map should be a crime. I had to kill every single one of his cronies and slowly track him and his pocket healer across the entire mountain to finally corner them. Good lord. All his mages were spamming Abyss to delay my turns too. It was agonizing.

>>2183225
I don't remember this level. Is it removed in Reborn or what chapter is it?

>>2184629
Moutn Hedon just before you face save Mreuva from Sherri in the Law route.

Casual undead slaying in the swamps with the boys.

A really cool bridge battle. My support warlock really shined this battle with his group resonance instilling weapons.

>>2184719
I wish all of the maps were small like this

>>2174609
That's like, the most well-know OP combo.
If you like bunnygirls, Sniper/Spellblade with TurboMP is also fun.

is fire emblem allowed here

>>2188521
Sure why not. It'll save this from being my personal tactics ogre blog.

Weeb/Ogre anon, did you happen to try any games of the mercenaries series from rideon? The art intrigues but I only played some weird shit on j2me and knight of lodis

I got to the Weigraff fight in tactics and he's 10 levels higher than me and kicking my ass
Am I supposed to back out and train in random battles for a few hours before trying again or is there something Im missing about this fight?

>>2192970
>Am I supposed to back out and train in random battles
You can't. That's why the battle became a meme.

>>2192970
There's a few ways to make that fight easier. I would suggest putting some accessories on your units that prevent confusion/petrification at the very least. Using skills like auto potion or a combo of mana shield and manafont will save your ass. This next one sounds like bullshit but it works and trivializes the fight equip Ramza with a chamelon robe and Wiegraf won't use his Holy sword skills

I a mistake early on in this battle, deciding to split my forces and sending the majority to the North. This was a very bad idea and I almost immediately realized it, but decided to try muscling through the battle anyway. I had to use five lifeline gems, and it is a minor miracle none of my units lost any lives.

>>2192970
It's the game breaker that literally destroys your entire save
If you have enough points, there's a cheap haste ability that you can spam to eventually get 2 turns for each of his so you can skirt him to death, otherwise, like me, it's game over bro.

>>2191968
I have not. The art does look good though, maybe I'll try it if I ever burn myself out on TO.

99% of the difficulty in knight of lodis is trying to prevent the enemy from stealing your fucking loot

Didn't they make a remake of a remake of LUCT that doesn't have that fucking awful class system?

>>2195175
Yeah, in One Vision I use a cheat that makes it so enemies that pick up items just give them to be instead. There are some unique drops so I sorta consider it a necessity.

>>2195676
If you mean where classes level up instead of individual units? Yes, the Reborn remake makes it individual units instead of classes that level up. If you're talking about class marks, the items you have to use to change classes, then no. Those are still there. If you play the PSP version or One Vision then you can just use cheats to give yourself infinite amounts of them though. There's actually a cheat that lets any unit become any class too which I intend to try sometime.

>>2195928
It makes perfect sense for code efficiency but I'm laughing that Mirdyn and Guildus are the two genders of their class.

>>2195676
>remake of a remake
Jeff vogel works are square now?

>>2195928
>Yes, the Reborn remake makes it individual units instead of classes that level up
Awesome
Did they end up nerfing archers or can you still one turn half the maps? Not that I'd do that ofcourse
