I always thought it was cute to have her decked out in diamonds since she comes with the Diamond Bracelet, but also I thought it was cute to have this baddie lady knight sparkling while being like: "I WILL LAY YOU LOW!" 😅🫡 Thoughts?
Ok, so maybe I’m thinking about this too much but I’m haven’t a weird issue and trying to figure out how to fix it.
So first, the problem: I’m trying to level knight for Mustadio so he can do the breaking stuff from far away deal, but for some reason I can’t figure out (yes he’s alive and actively participating in battle) he’s just not earning JP in any measurable way. Like everyone else is making like 60-100 jp per battle and he’s making between 0-5. Wtf. But this isn’t the question and the question might answer this too.
The question: Do you only get JP if you use abilities from that job? Like if I’m a knight and just use attack does that still generate JP? Also, do you only get JP for your primary job, or do you also get JP for your secondary job? If I have Knight as my main job and monk as my secondary and I use a monk ability do I get just knight JP? Just Monk? Both?
I’m sure this is a silly question and everyone has intuited the answer without having to ask because I can’t for the life of me find this anywhere.
Tldr: how is jp awarded?
1.Never saw an enemy unit with SO MUCH THINGS TO LEARN :0
2.I was planning on farming my own Behemoths and I spawned in the middle of the behemoth wat 👀 (I'm on the spawn in the bottom side,all of those are guest/enemy units)
3.Didnt know enemy units can spawn petrified :O
I currently play FFTA as my first Tactics game.
I got a new Recruit who is an animist and no matter how much I have level him before (Level 9 or 10) - he won’t learn any „Calls“. I would really like to use him as I’ve read online that this class is pretty good.
What do I do wrong?
I got the original for PS1 when I was a kid. I loved the game, but I could never beat it. I picked up the WotL on my phone later, and while I made it farther than I had as a kid, I still never beat it.
About a month ago I got the Ivalice Chronicles for my Switch 2, and had an absolute blast playing it. What an incredible and expressive game!
I love how you have so much freedom to explore and try different strategies. I know this won’t be the last time I beat it! I already have some ideas to try out next playthrough.
I'm in chapter 2, Warjilis, I haven't been using that Squire for a while now, everyone else is on JP Boost.
For my current play through I decided to use every job by giving each generic two jobs. My pairings are:
Monk/ninja dragoon/knight archer/thief samurai/orator Mystic/arithmetician Black mage/summoner White mage/time mage Geomancer/chemist Bard/mime Dancer/mime
I’m pretty happy with this set up. I wanted characters that felt thematic like the archer/thief is Robin Hood and the Geomancer/chemist is a nature witch with potions. The Samurai/Orator is a poet warrior.
Anyway what are some thematic combos you like to use?
I just beat Zalbaag and when I finished him (I used a dragoon’s jump ability with Ramza) there was something shown on screen just as a trophy was popping. I didn’t see what it said and just saved over the file. I know I’m about to go into the final battle since the place in the map says as much, but am still looking to find out what it said, in case it’s important to the story. I know that Zalbaag wanted Orlaneau to kill him, but he didn’t land the killing blow.
Thanks for your help.
Does anyone like the Tinkerer/Gadgeteer?
This job sucks so bad. Has a 50% chance to hit either every ally or enemy with a buff/debuff, and even then it only lands like 30-45% of the time.
I'm using one to get the Juggler job in FFTA2, and I thought, eh, I'm ahead a decent margin, why not?
Hit my own party with debuffs 3x in a row.
Try to switch it up and use a buff; hit the enemy party and almost all of em got it. 😐
I hope whoever made this job got a stern talking to, b/c this job is trash.
I tried other strategies but they all just seem to pale in comparison..
the enemies always seem to have the height and terrain advantage..
Movement and getting around is extremely annoying.. Teleport is unreliable and the enemies always feel like they are just out of reach no matter how much + movement I have...
it also feels impossible to get behind them and their parry rate is through the roof..
physical attacks also seem to do very little damage, and enemies seem to do all my health in a hit to the point where auto potion doesn't even matter anymore...
I think nuking them all from across the map with holy or flare spells before they apporach is the only viable strategy without battles taking ten years to complete..
So I am very new to FFT, how do I upgrade the class of a chemist to a wizard? I tried upgrading my job points, but I don’t know what I’m doing.
There's lots of advice here about how to make builds, combining various abilities from all over the tree to make a good character.
But I dont see much about how to actually get there. With my generic characters in particular, is the idea to just go from job to job as fast as possible, grabbing one or two key abilities from each?
Should I be worried about getting to a hard battle and not having any of the more expensive abilities in the main job?
For example there are lots of tips about, for example, putting guns or some other ability from the physical side of the tree on casters.
Are people really leveling their randoms on both sides of the tree?
Man, I forgot how much fun this game is.
I played and beat FFT WotL not very long ago; I felt pretty confident in my tactical experience so I tried Tactics Ogre again. Big mistake. I was getting through decently, but I was having such a miserable time and it felt like I was trying to force myself to enjoy the difficulty.
I decided to go back to A2 since I still have my DS copy handy. And the level of enjoyment is night and day.
I really liked FFT, even after beating the game I found myself really diving into the lore and characters a lot. But even after beating it I had no desire to keep playing. (I think my longest session for that game was like 4 hours.) I had to keep taking breaks from burnout.
With FFTA2 I just did a 7 hour session, and I'm addicted 😅 I had to force myself to stop playing it.
Some differences I noticed is that the battles take longer, but I don't mind it because we're not doing glass canon battles.
The job abilities being tied to items also was hard to get back accustomed to since you can't bring JP like FFT. In a way I'm kinda glad it's like this because I'm not forced to grind.
I really love all the map variations, and how you don't need to do random encounters because there are so many missions to do that feel much more rewarding.
At times WotL felt so oppressive, but this game feels like such a breath of fresh air. It's like going from Elden Ring to Breath of the Wild; similar games, but executed very differently.
This game is not very challenging at all, but yknow what, fuck it, it's way more fun imo.
I think after playing games for so long I'm kinda understanding what games I would willingly torture myself for, and I think tactics games are just not one of them.
Still loved WoTL, but the Advance Series just feels like home to me.
Is there any video walkthrough that I can follow to obtain the Platinum trophy?
They missed an opportunity IMO. If you want to make a game inclusive, make it all the way
It would have been nice if there was a hidden stat to determine on whom a unit's Steal Heart can work on
so I'm pretty lost on how to focus on characters! you can hire soooo many, but it also seems too hard to level up multiple outside of a core 5? what do i do?
Hi folks! I played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA) as a kid and am recently enjoying it again now as an adult. Thing is, I just discovered there's way more of these tile turn-based games and that there was a remake of sorts in 2025 (Ivalice Chronicles)?
I hear the games are different so I'm curious if I really like FFTA would I find TIC enjoyable! Thanks!
I've heard that there is a 'Perfect Ivalice' map layout, that gives me some stuff you can't get any other way and feels sensical to the world. I was just wondering if this was it? I know the map system is very much a 'fuck around and get free shit' system, but first run I want to do 'Perfect Ivalice'.
