Settlers III

Maybe "comfy" is the wrong word but it's a game I have a bit of a history with. Used to play it with my dad and sister, they're not much into video games nowadays so this is pretty much the only thing they'll play.

I'm going to go with FF:Tactics too. I don't think I've ever sunk as much time into a console game as that one. Trying to master every job on every character (including Rad, Lavian and Alicia) then the deleveling/leveling scheme to max out stats.

Hell, I might just go play it again now.

[Anonymous No.2026928]

>>2026771
I just started the game.

Any early-game tips? I heard it's possible to fuck up permanently and having to restart by not being prepared for the solo fight against Wiegraf.

Also Archers and White Mages are fucking shit and do incredibly little damage/healing. Should I change their jobs or stick with them?

[anonymous No.2026953]

why dont ppl undersor modern computingtand 4chan is the cox f

[Anonymous No.2026959]

>>2026928
I'd just say keep a backup save so you won't get stuck in one place.

I'm not the best of tactics, so if you don't find a use for archers don't force it, they are good with range and shoot the further the higher they are.

White mages healing ability is linked a lot to their faith stat and zodiaz compatibility, so if your WM has poor zodiac compatibilty with you main character (or a lot of others) the healing ability will suffer a lot. You can bring up a hand cursor in status screen to check the zodiac compatibilities whenever, so you don't have to memorize them.

Hope this helped even a little bit.

Grind. Fighting is fun in this game, so you shouldn't feel bored.
Get everyone the 'Gained JP UP' skill, it's incredibly useful.
Get Ramza 'Auto Potion'. You will thank me for this once you have to face some bosses.
Look up a Job tree on the net, see what classes you're interested in.
Like >>2026959 said, have a backup save. Hell, I always had 4-5 for this game. You never know what might happen.

[Anonymous No.2027318]

>>2026928
Some tips for you.

Bravery affects a few things in the game. The likelihood of your reaction abilities (might just be Counter-Tackle or Auto-Potion at this point for you) triggering. Also, if you have Move-Find Item, an ability that lets you discover items on the battlefield (sometimes even rare or unique items!) the lower your Bravery, the better the chance. However, at a certain point, NPCs may leave quit your whole team if their permanent Bravery gets too low! So practice raising and lowering it permanently carefully.

Faith operates in a similar manner. The higher your Faith, the more damage / healing your spells do... and the more they do to you. So, if you lower your Faith to a 0 in a fight, you're now immune to magic. But that includes things like Cure or Raise. Playing with that stat is as fun, or even more fun than playing with Bravery, because you can make magic-immune juggernauts, or super mages.

Like Bravery though, taken to extremes, Faith may make your teammates abandon you. Play carefully.

Oh. And if you don't know how to change those numbers, there's a handful of ways, but the mainstay is using the Mediator class (Chemist > White Mage > Oracle > Mediator). They can raise and lower stats with their abilities.

[Anonymous No.2027420]

Who the fuck is Ravness

[Anonymous No.2027424]

>>2027318

A unit with too high of a faith stat will leave your party just like a unit with too low of a Brave stat.

[Anonymous No.2027437]

People have beaten FFT with nothing but magic-less calculators.

The best advice I can give is to just have fun and mess around, and try not to ignore the optional jobs from the bars that you can send allies on from chapter 2 onwards, they're a fun way to grind little chunks of JP without actually having to do very much. Not that you'll particularly miss anything if you don't do them.

[Anonymous No.2027526]

Worker 8 was probably my favorite optional character. Most of the humanoid characters were either too strong (Orlandu, Agrias, etc) or too weak (Rafa, Malak, Cloud [even with Short Charge, meh]). But Worker 8 was just plain fun to use. Especially as a mobile platform to reach higher areas.

[Anonymous No.2027531]

>>2027318
As an addendum to this, Brave is something you probably want to max out on everyone, save one person on item finding duty.
95% chance of R abilities triggering is just too good to pass up.

[Anonymous No.2027532]

>>2027526
>doesn't know how overpowered Malak is

Personally I always liked filling my parties with Generics and Monsters.

[Anonymous No.2027543]

>>2027532
If you got some advice for Malak, I'm all ears.

[Anonymous No.2027580]

>>2027532
>>2027543
Malak isn't overpowered at all.
He can be a decent character if you take the time to lower his faith and buff the shit out of his brave he can be decent, but we're talking about tactics, where you can literally have guys that are basically invincible one shotting multiple people at a time WHILE multi-turning them.

Malak and Rafa's heaven/hell skill has the potential to hit like 8 or 9 times, and if you get lucky you can hit a single title in the cross that many times and kill Altima in a single turn. The liklihood of that happening is basically zero

FFIX, and just IX. The atmosphere just grabs me and exudes comfy.

I get the same thing from Pokemon and Wild Arms.

[Anonymous No.2027634]

>>2026771
Probably final fantasy tactics as well, so many games in my log that I need to play yet I always end up beating it again. Just way too much fun to use a team of generics, name em up as my bros and go on a great journey. So much extra content too, and it's an easy game.

[Anonymous No.2027648]

>>2027580
That's essentially what I figured. Malak's potential to be great is the same as any other generic NPC. It's his Hell Knight abilities that are perpetually meh. Even if you design him to maximize their strength, they'll never be remotely in the same realm of the top tier NPCs.

Hell, they're not even mid-tier with Mustadio or Reis.

It's not if you don't grind.

[Anonymous No.2027727]

>>2027718
I've only used generics, and I don't do unnecessary battles. I usually never get to crazy levels and don't do every side quest in a single go through. I've beaten the game at relatively low levels.

[Anonymous No.2027756]

It's all comfy until you make a stupid, simple, yet critical mistake that flushes the entire hard fought battle down the drain, or buddy crystalizes because you dropped the ball.

Then it is rage and shame.

[Anonymous No.2028639]

In the psp version my favorite is what's her face. Orlandu has all her break skills but now that they work on everyone but people with Item-protection she's a lot better. I have to emulate it though because fuck the forced lag.

Easy mode?

Ramza on his own can clear the game through an oversight that allows the players to indefinitely buff their speed and attack strength. Otherwise, work on getting at least one Ninja and Monk. Ninjas can dual-wield weapons, and Monks have incredibly busted attack strength without weapons. Put the two together, and you have an unbeatable double-attacking buttfuck unit that can kill anything before it blinks, especially if you choose to do this with Ramza.


For fun, I build up units from scratch and give them the names of my OC. You have to diceroll for gender at the pubs, but personalized units are the raddest fucking shit in this game and I'm disappointed that later installments didn't allow this. Mage crosstrained as a Monk, Archer crosstrained as a Red Mage, Dual Wielding Monk, Dragoon.

[Anonymous No.2029220]

>>2029194
There are more interesting combinations.

Like a Ninja with Jump and Equip Spear, a Wizard with Draw Out, a Dancer with Sunken State, an Archer with Battle Skill and Concentrate, having a character with very high HP cast Golem, give a Wizard Summon and Short Charge, equip your entire team with Chameleon Robes and Calculate CT5 Holy.

FFT is a good choice, its one of those games I find myself going through at least once or twice a year. For me my ultimate comfy game is Daggerfall, even with the mandatory Bethesda glitches. I love the ridiculously huge open world and the labyrinth style dungeons. Also it was the first game I played that let you run around as a naked chick, so its got special a special place in my heart (and my pants).

The suikoden games were always insultingly easy to me, even though they had solid stories and recruiting all the characters was enjoyable as fuck, I was disappointed by how easy they were, and any difficulty could be eased by the fact that you could level all too easily.
