Man, Delita is one of the best written video game characters ever. Discuss this great game and everything about it.

ALSO: to people who really know the game's mechanics; I'm looking through a saved game editor and wondering what is the absolute best set for evasion? Is it a Ninja with Equip Shield and Abandon?

[Anonymous No.2727904]

Great game.

Too bad magic classes are useless until you get Calculators

Nigger just get Bladegrasp on anyone with an estucheon 2 and you basically cannot be hit by physicals.

[Anonymous No.2727916]

Yeah, blade grasp is really OP. We're talking enemies having single percentage chances of hitting your character--works on guns, works if they try to hit you from behind, ect. Abandon is good if you wanna negate magic damage, but say you lower a unit's faith enough, magic isn't going to be doing a lot of damage to them in the first place.

[Anonymous No.2727925]

>>2727904
If you're playing the PSX version, Summoners sweep the first 3 chapters easily even without Short Charge. Much much easier than the annoying slog using Thief to Ninja anyway because all the intermediate classes are solid.

[Anonymous No.2727962]

>>2727904
Mage classes rock, you just have to put a little more thought into them beyond "equip strongest sword and highest HP armor."

Magic Attack-Up, Wizard Robe / Rod, Magic Gauntlet, Flash Hat and spend a few fights raising your Faith to something resembling reasonable.

>>2727635
Abandon doesn't need to be on a Ninja. Having Escutcheon II and Abandon on any character gives them 100% Evade and 100% Magic Evade. It should be noted though that shields only block what's straight ahead of you, so being flanked reduces that number.

If you're looking for all-around evasion regardless of facing, then only c-ev (class evasion) and a-ev (accessory evasion) matter.

The highest generic evasions belong to Ninjas (30%) and Thieves (25%). Equipping a Feather Mantle (40% Physical / 30% Magic) is the best option. Note that Abandon, while making the Feather Mantle 80%p and 60%m, putting it on a Ninja (which abandon enhances his base c-ev to 60%) doesn't add up to 140%-p and 120%-m respectively. Rather, it would be you have 80% evasion from the Mantle and your class now covers 60% of that remaining 20% for another 12%, putting you at 92%-p evasion and 84%-m.

(Pretty sure my math checks out, but it's late as fuck here.)

>>2727908
Blade Grasp can give you 100% physical evasion, why would you even bother with a shield?

[Anonymous No.2727965]

>>2727962
Because if you get a high magic blocking shield you can essentially be invincible.

[Anonymous No.2727976]

>>2727962
Wait, I double-checked. C-Ev is usable only from the front, S-EV (shields) from front or side, and A-Ev from any direction. Still, the math was right.

>>2727965
His example said "cannot be hit by physicals." And combining the Escutcheon 2 with Blade Grasp won't make you immune to magic attacks, whereas combining it with Abandon would. The Escutcheon 2 is made for Abandon builds, it's wasted on Blade Grasp ones.

Besides, a Blade Grasp build would get just as much mileage out of the Aegis Shield, since it has an identical magic evasion stat. Though honestly, since a Blade Grasp build requires a 97 Bravery to cheese properly, you might as well just twink the Faith down to 3.

try running geomancer / white mage or geo/timemage in endgame with dual +magic swords and ring

[Anonymous No.2727982]

>>2727980
Why Geomancer as the primary class? They only have a 105% MA stat. Mimes, Bards, Oracles, Summoners, Time Mages, Priests and especially Wizards all have higher. (Wizards have 150% MA).

I can see the appeal of a double Rune Blade build (MA+2), but Wizards can just as easily dual wield Wizard Rods (MA+2) to even greater effect. Though I'm pretty sure Magic Attack-Up provides a greater effect than a second MA+2 item and thus is a better option than dual wielding entirely.

Also, which Ring? The only one that gives a MA boost is the shitty Cursed one where any Chemist or Priest instagibs you.

[Anonymous No.2727990]

>>2727982
Magic Attack-Up is a flat 33% buff to all magical healing and damage, including Geomancers and Samurai abilities. There's never a time where Two Swords is better for a caster build. Short Charge sometimes, but never Two Swords.

[Anonymous No.2728006]

You might not want to actually achieve 100% evasion in certain scenarios, because the AI will proceed to do something else such as Draw Out... though that's really kind of rare anyway.

If you leave it at 1% hit rate, the chances of them hitting you are minuscule but the AI will stupidly try it anyway and waste their turn

>>2727982
Geomancer's advantages are +1 Mov and innate Shield-Holding so they're a bit tankier as a carrier class.

Elemental is actually pretty good too as a no-cost long range chip attack that sometimes have pretty lethal Status procs like Petrify.

Black Mages are definitely the class to go if you want pure power though

[Anonymous No.2728014]

>>2728006
Eh, still not worth it in my mind. A Wizard with Elemental does pretty much all of that and better (though Iaido is probably still a better secondary). And between Move +2, Move +3 and Teleport, the innate Move 4 of a Geomancer becomes pretty negligible.

That said, the Geomancer is probably the go-to for a gish class. Outside Mimes and bullshittery special NPC classes, they're the only class to have both a physical and magic attack multiplier of over 100%. Plus Swords, Shields and Robes are the best options for either build out there.

[Anonymous No.2728154]

>>2728014
I think they're competitive with Oracle as a 2nd tier Carrier class if you want to carry a Magical secondary.

Also I think once you put Equipment bonuses in play, Wizards really have around 25% more MA over Geomancers rather than 150% but I haven't done the calculations in a while

I always hated using Blade Grasp. It seems like too obvious an easy-mode win. Same with Calculators or Orlandu. Not that I mind invincible characters, but I prefer them to use less heavily traveled avenues.

Defender + Weapon Guard for Knights, for example. I mean, who uses Weapon Guard, right? What a shitty reaction ability. But with just a generic Crystal Shield and Feather Mantle that's what? An 87% evasion rate?

Obviously it doesn't beat out the 97% auto evasion of Blade Grasp, but because it took a far less obvious route to get there, I end up enjoying it all the more.

A party wide +1 PA or speed sounds insanely good, the issue is that when it fires it may hit 1 or 2 people, and if he was just something more powerful like a Ninja or Summoner that turn could've been put to better use, like killing someone on the other team.

Except odds are all the turns they wasted singing to raise their speed didn't actually hit either of them. And they have the lowest physical attack in the game. Priests hit for more. The only effective thing about that build is you giving them Knight abilities which would be better on any other character.

I don't think FFT hacking/modding has advanced that far yet.

1.3's new content characters was basically done by making Onion Knight/Dark Knight as "Special" one-off characters and data wise, it's done by using one of the redundant special character slots that are only used in cutscenes etc

>>2731245
Hahaha, no.

They left things mostly unchanged balance-wise and things got grindier but that's because it was based off the Japanese version of PSX's FFT (the NA version of PSX FFT reduced a lot of job requirements and buffed Summon Magic which was a good move IMO.)

Even the new content, they try to make it as non-balance affecting as possible - out of the two new classes, one is shit (Onion) and the other requires so many requirements that you might as well grind for Calculator instead. Multiplayer has some EQ rewards that are pretty OP but good luck finding an actual friend to play it with (it's pretty fun if you can though!)

Another fun alternative to Blade Grasp is giving your Knight Two Swords with Abandon.

With a Feather Mantle, that puts you over a 90% evade. High enough that nothing's going to hit you, but not so low that enemies won't make the attempt. Plus Defenders have really solid damage output, and the Two Swords support ability ensures massive damage output.

Just another alternative to the insta-win that is Blade Grasp.

[Anonymous No.2740698]

Not related to Blade Grasp at all, but some reaction abilities I've had fun with are Counter Flood, Critical Quick, and Hamedo.

I've gotten good use out of those three with the right setups. Counter Flood for magic-geared units, Critical Quick specifically for Summoners or whatever has Math Skill (if I use it), and Hamedo for primarily physical attackers. Though Speed Save on a reraising unit has it's own kind of charm. Especially someone with Jump.

[Anonymous No.2740706]

I haven't played the rendezvous missions on psp yet(sadly lack friends with a playset, or a second of my own), but how come so many of you are suggesting blade grasp(shirahadori)?

For me, auto-potion carried me through the entire game. I can see how broken blade grasp could be with low faith, but if your character ever does take damage, your auto-potion will heal it all up and then some nearly all of the time(or usually on a weak attack by another npc).

>>2732342
Honestly, I think ffta would've been *much* better if it wouldn't have had that ridiculous "judge" system; nearly every battle you get carded for doing what is almost always the obviously, logical choice, while the NPCs get to get carded all day, because who the fuck cares! Nameless NPC #19933 sure as hell doesn't! It just felt like a blatant mechanic to let the computer punch you in the gut for doing what should be the obvious choice while suffering no real consequence itself.

It gave +3 to both attacks, plus perma-protect, shell, and haste. It can be equipped by anyone that's a girl, which means it's fair game for Melly to use it, even if it was Agrias' birthday present.

The event is triggered when you enter a town or city on Agrias' birthday (June 22nd/ 1st of Cancer) with 500,000 gil (the event deucts 50,000 gil from your account) and by keeping Mustadio and the two knights she came with up until that point.

Also, I'm surprised that >>2731863 didn't mention the two special units. Luso is placed into your lap automatically in Chapter 3, with an early Icebrand and early Behemoths. He's basically a copy of Chapter 4 Ramza, with added poach. Balthier can be missed if you don't look at the tavern often, but he's pretty broken. He's got a wide selection of equips, Mustadio's abilities, a better version of Steal, and Rapid Fire too.

I think she should have just joined right after the Bernevia Free City fight, if not immediately then at least as a Guest for the next few battles.

You can equip the Tynar Rogue on any female though.

It's really just that there isn't any more hard Human-based battles after Mel joins to use her in any more, though at least the PSP version allows her moves to hit Monsters for pretty good damage. Still inferior to Orlandu but who isn't?

[Anonymous No.2751135]

>>2727904
I use magic users for party balance, but yeah, it's much easier to break a physical class with high movement and attack damage than it is to make a magic class that's a greater overall threat. Charge times are probably the biggest issue with casters, although being heavily reliant on MP when the spells that bring them up to physical damage levels cost over half your MP pool and being a squishy character in general don't help matters.

If I was going to try and fix the problem, I'd start by limiting movement bonuses and rebalancing stats around that. Things like two handing Knights or duel wielding Ninjas having a movement range of 8 or 9 where they can cover half the map in one turn means there's nowhere to run and nothing to hide behind as ranged and magic using classes. After that, I'd give magic classes a base of low MP cost spells with instant cast times (Things with lower impact like Cure 1, <element> 1, that sort of thing), create strong spells with high MP costs and short charge times, and then perhaps create spells more akin to how dancers and bards work: rituals that have long charge times but wide, powerful effects. Now, you'd have a white mage that can drop light heals on the group at a longer distance, cure status effects or revive for a good chunk of MP, or grant defensive buffs to the entire party with long cast time spells.

[Anonymous No.2751625]

>>2751135
I think if you just drop the concept of Speed growth and keep them static even as you gain levels, Magic will probably be more viable for more portions of the game.

Currently, Charge Time is static while Speed grows meaning that as you level, there's a higher chance of being interrupted before your spell goes off.

[Anonymous No.2751883]

Heyyy, I actually made a patch a couple years ago for FFT that neutralized all playable classes' job stat growths to the values the game typically treated as 'standard'. Job stat multipliers are still in and basically serve the same purpose in class variance without pointlessly screwing you for spending too long in the wrong job. A second version even gave adjustments to the multipliers based on what was lost (because even more stupidly, the growths weren't themselves proportionate to the multipliers).

Might have to dig it up.

If Miluda knew about this, she'd be very disappointed.

I am strongly considering a hard mode patch where all the accessible jobs have their stat growth numbers set to the lowest possible rate, with the majority of stats coming from equipment and job choice and only monsters and bosses having actual growth

Scream sort of falls off as a useful Ramza asset when the rest of the party will either finish before he gets noticable benefit or die while he looks after numero uno. Great for solo Ramza, kinda dumb in a decent team.

I want to hack in a Scream2 or something that can kickstart him into high gear sooner but becomes more time-inefficient than regular Scream before he hits crazy values. I was thinking, +2 to pa/ma/sp, but give it a charge time such that Ramza will just miss his following turn if used at 20 speed or above... Does that make any kind of sense? Then I bump down Scream's chapter availability. I'm very sick so I really don't know if that makes sense.

Scream is fine, I only ever use it once or twice in a battle anyone while I wait for my opponents to get closer.

All depends on builds. My new favorite Ramza build has a great deal of range, so using a turn for Scream is no skin off of me in 99% of battles. Then again, if you're going primarily physical, it could cost you a degree of time with multiple uses.

Are there any decent FFT hacks out there?

[Anonymous No.2752341]

>>2752270
FFHacktics has a ton. I know there's a patch that replaces the original dialogue with the WotL dialogue, if that's something you'd be into. Past that, most hacks I've seen are a little wanky and add in characters from other series/games, or mess with the balance in either odd or masochistic ways.
Still, you may find something you like.

The first time I did that battle I got my ass kicked over and over again. I saved at that point just for the fight too, so I ended up just starting the game over just to level up and prepare Ramza for that one part. I killed him quick that time lol

FFT 1.3 if you want beyond nightmare level difficult mode. Classes are revamped/balanced/new abilities/spells, Calculator is now Sage and uses Boss only spells (Frog 2, etc). All random fights are different, the list goes on and on. Just google and follow the instructions.

However if you don't want the difficulty, there's also a content patch they offer, without the "enjoy every fight taking 30 minutes+ and being brutally raped"

To add onto this, some other changes include a "unique" Dark Knight, Onion Knight event, where they join you, and Marche from FFTA joining as well. Dark Knight/Onion Knight jobs are unlockable, but the Holy Knight etc classes are rebalanced (their sword attacks now cost MP), new monsters such as Tonberry and Cactuars, new ??? Bosses you can randomly encounter over and over and basically each fight requires actual thinking/planning. Story fights scale to your level now and you aren't going to just breeze through with whatever jobs you like. Knight and Lancer are now godly, as is Thief. Just google for the site and read, if you're interested. If nothing more, it's a very well made hack and will give you the ultimate experience, difficulty or content patch wise.

Content is not that different from FFT 1.3 in practice. It's still ridiculously hard compared to every other game in the genre.

Blade Grasp provides a much more comprehensive range of protection.

[Anonymous No.2753615]

>>2753078
Levels don't mean that much in FFT, abilities do.

I dunno, just go to Sweegy Woods a couple of times and use Auto-battle and multi-task or something if you don't want to manually fight.

>>2753113
Hamedo only works on the "Attack" command and only if you're in range - it's still pretty good in certain circumstances but Blade Grasp is definitely the superior defensive move
