If you KO all but one enemy, possibly put that one to sleep or petrify them if you want, and arrange your characters in a plus sign with an over leveled white mage in the middle and another white mage (or other healer) on the side, and keep hitting the over leveled white mage in the middle 4 times with fight and 2 times with cure/cura/curaga/other heal then you can powerlvl your party.

Useful for catching up some of your other party members that you haven't used much or have been sending on dispatch (which grants AP but not XP) to the average party level so that they're not overmatched when you do use them.

I've just started playing FFT:TIC

I find it so confusing and messy though.

Love the story so far (only just hit Chapter 2) and I enjoy the combat. Reminds me of a mix of Advanced Wars, FFXIV and FFXII

I am looking for some advice on what to play through as. I am just doing a single run through to enjoy the game, I never normally replay any game tbh

It was so confusing I went to the tavern to rename my characters to their Job titles. Ramza was a Squire, then I had Chemist the Chemist, Archer the Archer, White Mage the White Mage etc but it came apparent very fast that the game isn't really meant to be played like that and I need to change shit up to unlock other classes etc

I will try and get Bonus JP on all characters after reading up on it but have you got any advice for what an elite party would be to carry me through pretty easily please?

My brain is struggling to understand how it all correlates between a character level, a job level, JP in other jobs that I need to buy skills with that I don't even have in my party etc

Thanks for any advice :)

I've played remixed in the past and it was a great experience. But now I'm looking for another complete mod with new jobs, preferably one that's not still in beta. Any recommendation is appreciated.

I remember playing The Ivalice Chronicles when it came out last fall. It was a fun game, but I was a bit unsettled by the constant flow of unique characters joining my party. I welcomed a all of them, but at one point it was too much. I remember quite vividly telling myself I should have said no to Agrias, and a couple of others before I completely sidelined them. I felt like I had homegrown "generic" characters I couldn't stop investing in that were much more interesting.

So yeah, Archers aren't the most powerful Job by any means.

Just for fun I was thinking about the methods available to Archers (this includes any set of abilities from a secondary job) to make them as viable, powerful, or if nothing else, cleverly versatile if I wanted to seriously invest in using them, even using multiple Archers in a team from as early onwards throughout a given playthrough, all the way up to high end game builds.

EDIT: To be clear there is no argument to be made that Archers are even good; basically what I’m asking is “gun to head, what’s the best you can do with an Archer?” Yes, a lot of this can be done better by other classes.

First time here and just entered ch2 scared I’ve missed anything to steal in ch1, and just looking to not miss anything,

Any guides or recommendations?

Thanks

Just curious if anyone knows if there’s some kind of game rip, recording or archive of all the voice acted in-battle attacks? Eg. Ramza voicing the attack for Shockwave?

Genuinely curious to hear of all the attacks and all the versions from each special character.

Thanks in advanced!

Tem algum cheat ou mod da versão Fft de psp ou psx em que os inimigos ao morrerem virem cristais/coletaveis instantaneamente sem ter que esperar aqueles 3 turnos?

Just like it probably is for many of you, FFT is one of my favourite games from my childhood. I only recently bought Chronicles of Ivalice so I might be late to this convo, but I am very happy with some of the things I saw. I added the spoiler tag since it talks about things that were not on the original PS1 game.

First of all, although I made some great memories with the original game, it had a very 90s interface that I'm ngl I'm glad was revamped. I was also comically shocked to hear *voices* coming out of Ramza's mouth. Simple things that make this old game a new experience.

Finally, probably the aspect of this game that back in the day was most shocking to me and left a very bitter taste in my mouth was Ovelia's final scene with Delita. Knowing that she actually survived that leaves me very happy. I know some players were disappointed that some things were not added to the game (such as WotL content), but the previously unreleased content and Ovelia's final outcome? It made my day. I'm not sure if we'll get new lore on Ramza's and Delita's story (this remake alone took decades ffs), but this tiny piece of information already made me feel like this game was worth it.

Apologies for the ramblings, I think I wanted to gossip a little bit about this game and I couldn't think of a better place to do this than this subreddit hahah. Peace~

Just finished a story mission where most of the enemies were around level 8–10, but the 'boss' was around level 11. I've been enjoying the job system and grinding a bit to unlock skills that looked cool, but that's put most of my units around level 12–13. I felt like that story mission was on the easier side, but I will say that due to the nature of the mission the AI was more easy to handle or it could be that my levels are just higher. I'm kind of scared now to experiment and grind for JP because I still want the game to be somewhat difficult, but I also still want to experiment. So should I be scared to overlevel?

Hey all, I'm new to FFT and picked up the steam version recently and am loving it!

However ever since middle-end of chapter 2, I've noticed that the enemies are (on average) 7-10 levels higher than me which sometimes makes some fights really difficult for me because half my party gets 1 shot before i even get to take a turn (even with best gear, for example the Cu Chulain and Wiegraf fights).

Is this intended? Am i supposed to be grinding wild encounters to compensate for lack of EXP, or stall fights to spam as many actions? At the moment I'm at the start of chapter 4 having done literally 0 random battles but I'm starting to feel the exp difference.

FYI i'm playing on normal difficulty and I usually always do something with my turn as to not just press 'wait' and lose exp and jp(throw stone on teammates or focus).

Appreciate any advice!

Hello all,
I know there’s been topics on this before and I know I’ve commented what I thought to be the most accurate timeline (ignoring sidequests and propositions); but I have an update to this. I just completed another playthrough of FFT mostly to acquire the ages of all characters during each of the chapters throughout the game.

My current findings dispute some old timey gamefaqs and the Fandom wiki page for FFT. (I believe Fandom wiki is using WoTL version for ages, which arguably should no longer be correct, but ultimately I will have to cross-examine for true dispute)

Anyways, enough of that, here is my current timeline, from the 1997 version, that is story battles only and fastest path to each destination, no stopping at other cities for gear or anything.

In the game, it’s stated that in the year of the end of the Fifty Years’ War, the people began to revolt due to coming home with no pay. When we pick up in Chapter 1, six months of revolts / rebellion have already taken place.

Chapter 1 picks up on January 1st. The final battle is at Fort Zeakden, which happens on January 22. Then, time advances by 1 year into Chapter 2. Therefore, 387 days happen before we pick up in chapter 2.

Chapter 2 picks up one year after the end of Chapter 1. You start on the same day when starting Chapter 2, so January 22. The final battle of Chapter 2 takes place at Lionel Castle, occurring on February 5th. Therefore, Chapter 2 = 15 days long.

Chapter 3 begins exactly three months after the death of Cardinal Draclau and the Nanten’s surprise attack on Lesalia. It starts May 5th, but Chapter 3 gets tricky.

Those 3 months are the rest of February (Feb 6 - Feb 28, 23 days), all of March (31 days) all of April (30 days) and the first 5 days of May. In total, that three month span = 89 days.

From May 5th to May 18th, those 14 days take place in the same year. BUT. After completing the scenes at Yardrow, time advances by 1 year.

You can verify this by checking Ovelia’s record in the Brave story, along with Marach’s. See, Ovelia’s birthday is May 11th, so on May 5 she’s 16. May 11 she turns 17. And then after the events at Yardrow, before even going into Yuguo Woods, Ovelia turns 18. Everyone else also gets 1 year older, so it’s not just a few months.

You meet Malak in Dorter May 13th after the battle at Orbonne, and if you check his age from May 13-May 17, he’s 17. But once May 18 passes, he’s 18.

SO. That being said:
89 day time skip at the start
Chapter 3 part 1: May 5th to May 18th = 14 days
Time advances 365 days.
Chapter 3 part 2: May 18th to May 20th = 3 days
Therefore, in total, Chapter 3 is 471 days long, concluding at the battle of Riovanes.

Chapter 4 does not time skip and picks up the same day, with the final battles taking place June 24th.

So, May 20 - June 24 = 36 days.

This brings our total time to: 387 + 15 + 471 + 36 = 909 total days, or 2 years and 4 months and 28 days. So just shy of 2 years 5 months

Now, to find the length of the actual “Lions’ War,” we need to go back to the invasion of Lesalia by Goltanna, which takes place February 5th. Now, given that we don’t have an official end to the war, but we can assume that it ends shortly after Ramza’s intervention at Orbonne due to all other players being killed, we can simplify it to roughly 1 year and 4 months. A relatively short but very bloody war

TL; DR:
Total Game timeline: 909 days, about 2 years 5 months
Total length of Lions’ War, about 1 year 4 months

Fun fact: Elmdore dies on Fusse Plains at the age of 36 on May 12, but due to his birthday plus the time skip he will be killed (again) by you at Age 38, according to the Brave Story Person records
