Step back into the story of ambition, betrayal, and honor that defined a generation in this iconic RPG. Featuring fully voiced dialogue, enhanced graphics, and multiple gameplay improvements, players can lead their party in exhilarating encounters where strategic positioning and forward planning determine the outcome. Use the varied terrain of 3D battlefields to your advantage, skillfully manipulate the turn order, and victory will be yours for the taking! For those just beginning FFT, here are some essential tips and tricks to get you started Early Game 1. After the battle that includes Delita, recruit 3 Fighters that are Zodiac compatible with Ramza, with high Bravery for Physical Attack(PA) fighters and high Faith for Magical Attack(MA) fighters, and make EVERYBODY a Squire. 2. Set the top 2 abilities as Fundaments and Item, for EACH member. (Fundaments is Mettle for Ramza and Delita.) make sure everybody at least knows Potion, and it would be nice if at least 2 members knew Pheonix Down. 3. Grind until everybody has these skills: Stone, Focus, JP Boost, Move +1, and Counter Tackle. When i say grind, that means walk back and forth over Mandalia Plains and DO NOT GO FURTHER JUST YET. 4. As you grind, make sure to keep your potions stocked to at least 20 before each battle. 5. After everyone as a Squire has the above mentioned skills, switch your member with the highest Faith to Chemist. Grind until this Chemist learns Auto-Potion. Eventually you want everyone to learn this. 6. for the most part, you will be ready to branch out however you want. So here's the reasoning behind this.. once any member learns Focus and or Stone, then you gain the ability to farm JP for each action even if you don't swing at a monster, which synergizes with JP boost. Also, when Item is assigned as a Squire, then each member can heal themselves (and each other) while you are grinding without a Chemist. Zodiac Signs & Compatibility Each character has a fixed Zodiac sign. Each sign has "good" or "bad" compatibility with certain other signs (in some cases, the compatibility depends on the characters' genders). In short, having "good" compatibility with another character increases the damage you do, the HP restored by healing abilities, and the success rate of status magicks. Having "bad" compatibility does the reverse. Here is the Zodiac compatibility chart Fire signs: Aries ♈, Leo ♌, Sagittarius ♐ Earth signs: Taurus ♉, Virgo ♍, Capricorn ♑ Air signs: Gemini ♊, Libra ♎, Aquarius ♒ Water signs: Cancer ♋, Scorpio ♏, Pisces ♓ Signs in the same trinity = Good compatibility (×1.25). Signs in opposing trinities = Bad compatibility (×0.75). Same sign = Best/Worst depending on sex (×1.5 or ×0.5). Everything else = Neutral (×1.0). To make it simpler just keep Ramza as his default Capricorn and know that Taurus and Virgo are the two compatible signs with him. Recruiting Fighters Don't bother recruiting more than three Fighters. Due to how character progression works (which i will get into in a minute) i don't advise using a large number of characters in this game. There are a few story battles that allow you to fill up to five slots but most battles lock you off at four, so if you fill out the roster most of those characters will be sitting on the sidelines anyway and will lag behind on experience and job points. As a beginner it's best to just run with a team of four including Ramza, just let those four be your workhorses. You'll often be joined by guest characters who are controlled by the computer but you can also recruit special characters some of whom make cameos from other Final Fantasy games. Bravery and Faith Bravery and Faith are two really important statistics that each character has. A high Bravery increases a chance of a character using his or her Reaction Abilities and raises your attack power with certain kinds of weapons. A high Bravery is almost always a good thing to have! The only benefit to a low Bravery is that is improves your odds of finding good items with the Treasure Hunter ability, but even the "good" items are rarely worth picking up. Faith affects a character's affinity for magick. Having a high Faith stat makes your offensive magicks do more damage, your healing magicks restore more HP, and your status change magicks more likely to succeed. It also makes your allies' healing magicks more effective when used on you. BUT, it also makes enemy magicks more effective against you! You'll want your magick-users to have high Faith (so their magick is most effective), but you may want your other characters to have low Faith so they are less susceptible to enemy magicks. Genders Human characters in FF Tactics can be either male or female. Overall, the differences between genders are fairly small. However, men and women do differ in a few ways: Males have better Physical Attack growth and HP, making them better physical attackers, while females have better Magic Attack growth and MP, making them better mages. Additionally, females unlock the Dancer class, males unlock the Bard class, and certain unique equipment like the Ribbon is female-exclusive. Some Zodiac compatibility calculations depend on the gender of the characters involved with opposite genders of the same sign having extremely poor compatibility, while opposite genders of opposite signs have excellent compatibility. In addition, the Thief's Steal Heart and Balthier's Plunder Heart only work on characters of the opposite gender from the user. About Jobs FF Tactics is one of several Final Fantasy games that uses the Job System. Jobs are basically like character classes, except you can frequently switch them and combine their abilities. Abilities Each job has a category of Action Abilities (e.g. "Black Magicks" or "Steal"). This category of abilities is always available for use by the job. In addition, each job can equip one other job's Action Ability category. So, you can have a Knight who casts White Magicks, or a Monk who uses her own Martial Arts abilities plus the Thief's ability to steal Items. ======== In any case i hope this gives you more confidence as a new player. If you found this helpful, please like, share, and award. -peace

To me, it's the best game ever made and nothing has surpassed it still.

I'm not good at reviews, so I'll put it bluntly: Final Fantasy Tactics is a perfect game, it's perfect in the same way that card games and board games can be perfect. It needs no additions, though the additions in the Enhanced Edition are welcome, it needs no new coat of paint, though the new paint may open it up to younger gamers, it lacks for nothing, and I'm glad to be able to play it again! I do have opinions on the new trappings, the changes are a little difficult to get used to, I'm working with muscle memory I developed in my teens and twenties, now I'm forty and still trying to rotate the camera with the RB and LB buttons, but I'll get used to that with time, and the new menus, and the new graphics. Underneath the new is the old, and the old is still as pristine and perfect as I remember it. If you enjoy tactics, or build crafting, or forming an army, or great stories, or min/maxing, or auto battlers, or turn based RPGs, or any combination thereof, you'll probably love Final Fantasy Tactics. It's a game with near unlimited replay value, near unlimited customization, and I truly have and do love it. This is the only game I've bought four times, and every time I've gotten my money's worth, I see no reason why this time should be any different. Highly recommended, it holds up.

so ive played both the Ps1 version of FFT and the PSP version. while im disappointed that we dont have alot of the added things from WOFL, such as the dark knight class, this is a beautiful recreation of an already beautiful game. the voice acting while sometimes a little wonky, is a welcome addition. i do miss some of the old visual effects, like the old rotating class screen, but all in all this is a damn good rework worth checking out. your just as beautiful as the day i lost you. (which i didnt cus the OG version is siting in my ps3)
