Oh my god FUCK off
Every old RPG has some crappy balancing issues, it's still a great game at the end of the day that's filled with interesting mechanics and secrets, just fuck off
If you noticed, this thread was talking about Vampires, but it wasn't an invitation for your faggotry

Given we haven't gotten a Tactics game, Ogre or FF since FFTA2 I will take anything at this point. I want them to bring the style back from the dead already. I will settle for another Advance style game.

Okay, now explain to us your reasoning for why FFA executed puzzles, exploration, dungeon design, and combat better than, say, Link's Awakening.

Since you have such a strongly held opinion you would surely be able to explain your viewpoint to us.

It could actually be funny as well, I remember fighting a clan and wondering why they were only moving and taking no actions
I then realised one of the laws was against ranged attacks and that was their entire theme

Play the PSP version first. Its a complete remaster with redone art, music, cutscenes, translation etc. The translation is also excellent unlike FFT WotL and far better than the original on PS1/SNES.

The first three or four battles are pretty slow (half of those are tutorial), but it gets really good after that.

Some additional advice: For rescue missions use canopus and strip all his equipment as that effects recovery time and when your turn is.

One of the frustrating things early on is that there will be missions where you can optionally save characters, generally allowing you to recruit them at some future point... but saving those characters before they are killed by the enemy is really difficult. Use the naked canopus strat to make it a bit easier.
