I'm a simple man, I see a thumbnail with Ramza, I click it.
But do you click like for Ramza?
Any FFT character for that matter
Literally same thing happened to me just now
Best game ever made
This is the way
Easily my favorite Final Fantasy that doesnt have a number and always appreciate learning more of it!
Congrats on 250k and thank you for doing what you do!
Thank you so much Cory! ~Darryl
I'd go so far as to say it's my favorite game with "Final Fantasy" in the title, and not by a small margin. ;P
I think the truth about Matsuno being hired is simply that he applied to Squaresoft and when Sakaguchi saw, he invited Matsuno and members of the team who worked on the game Sakaguchi was such a fan of, to work at Square. That would make both stories true. Pure chance that Matsuno put his application in at the right time, signalling that he was interested and opening the door for Sakaguchi to invite him without looking like he was poaching talent from a struggling studio.
My memories of creating characters of all my friends and family for FFT resurface!
Also, great to see Agrias in her first major role before she is cast as Saber for the Fate series =P
And Brianne in GoT
Love Brienne! I think I may picture Agrias as her now. Strong, dutiful, honest...that’s her all the way!
Agrias was straight up my favorite of the characters. I wanted a full game with her as the protagonist.
Innocent/Atheist was a ridiculously powerful status. I didn't realize it when I played while young, but I'd love to explore this more when looking back.
Beowulf... OP bastard lol
@@raizil0513 - SERIOUSLY THOUGH! Second only to TG Dummystrong himself.
Interestingly, Ivalice is the most fleshed-out world out of all of FF’s different worlds.
Here’s hoping we get a true sequel (in HD-2D) or else an HD-2D remake of FF Tactics.
I found Deep Dungeon totally on my own, via thorough gameplay, in my 100% run of the PS1 version as a teen, and it BLEW ME AWAY. Like: “OMG WHAT IS THIS!?! What are these LEVEL NAMES? Why is it all dark and what the HELL could be at the bottom?!” I was shocked at all the cool buried treasures (as another thing I did was to search every tile of every map and steal every unique stealable item.)
When I saw the boss use the summon I didn’t have, it became clear to me that that’s how you learned it, and I reset so I could bring my summoner (who I leaned on heavily in many instances anyway) and learn it. I was very pleased that I also got a Byblos, and I always puzzled at wtf he was doing down there if he was a friendly, and why he chose to go against his master.
Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre are 2 gems that I'll often revisit every few years. They are also the reason I had a Gameshark for the PS1
The class system gives them so much replay value and the deep political story is very engrossing. FFT is my favorite FF spinoff although in reality it is more of a sequel to Tactics Ogre than anything else. My only complaint is that the special characters like Orlandu and Agrias are so overpowered they break the game. Of course you don't have to use them and I've done runs with no story characters to add challenge and have heard of Ramza only runs, but that is beyond my skill level.
psst tactics ogre remastered soon, legit, its on SE
@@acidwizard6528 Agrias isn't overpowered at all. TL:DR People tend to overrate her and Samurais (who need katanas to be unlocked chapter 2 and better ones chapter 3) because they're very flashy with mid-game abilities. Hamedo/First Strike is the most overrated ability to use for 1300 JP as my lance screwed Elmdor just outside his range.
You'd have to work to have Agrias be a geomancer to have higher physical attack, and attack up, as holy knight has low attack and it takes forever to learn lightning stab/holy explosion. Going to state a few more broken things below if you don't mind the wall of text.
It's really easier just to make a brawler ninja, dragoon with ranged attack (8 jump, 2 lance)/steal/concentration, or even chapter 1 monk with equip armor for early equipment (and lifefont/auto potion is an equalizer for Wiegraf/Gaffgarion, and nature's wrath for free geomancy counters to not waste on skills for every land are really good if you don't want direct invincibility from manafont/mana shield to walk off any pain so long as you have 1MP).
The mediator/orator with entice/stall to have enemies not have a turn if not join permanently, with boosted chances by arcane strength (and learning quick from the time mage) is a prep time win button.
Chapter 4 is a gimme game as bosses are too slow to have turns, enemies will heal 30/300 hp with potions or use chapter 1 defend, and Orlandu is only overpowered by common sense with excalibur/thief's hat (Agrias cannot equip this as a holy knight for the speed boost) equipped and much higher attack and abilities. You just play it to solo the midlight deep/deep dungeon with onion equipment, that doesn't even need mastery (I'd just use the shield and armor and mount a chocobo to be nearly invincible). Even Rapha/Marach are OP if you become a chapter 3 dark knight as they join with huge stat boosts at level 60+ (like the black chocobo).
Lucavi can be easily beaten with the oracle/mystic's invigoration/life drain doing 25% (like how time mage's graviga does 50% without any resistant enemy, which I even did a vid on math skill and a mime mimicking it). Whole gamebreaking playlist if it interests you (I did drain with beowulf for 700 damage on the last boss, which follows the mystic but is instant) ruclips.net/p/PLWCvWRFNRIG6dfbTbH-nnswYpXb2-qCHs
Congrats if you read all this to the end. I was trying to expect the vid to talk about stuff I overlooked (the ff fandom is great and I edited quite a bit for FFT and some FF2 with tomes as I feel I mastered those games).
@@Reyalamor it seems like Reborn is going to become the definitive edition of TO
@@MrVariant way too much arrogance in this comment.
I think the OG called atheist innocent. I liked the worker 8 robot character because he permanently had the effect and was immune to all magic.
The NTSC version of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions on PSP actually DOES have a soundtest option.
When you have to name Ramza if you change his name to "PolkaPolka" (no quotation marks) you'll be taken to the soundtest menu. I don't think it includes the commentary, but you can listen to the music.
He does mention that at the end, just after 16:00 .
Tactics is a gift from heaven. My first tactic game and that had led me to enjoy many other tactical RPG like Tactic Ogre, Front Mission, etc. Had so much fond memories about FFT.
I've been looking for an excuse to replay FF Tactics and Vagrant Story and this might be it, the lore, the world building for these game is just outstanding, same for FFXII
Another lesser known fact is that the game Vagrant Story is also set in the same world as Tactics and XXII
Vagrant Story is the best Final Fantasy game! 😂😂😂
This and ff6 are my two favorite final fantasy games.
What amazes me is how well these developers know their own history. Some of these references are absolutely insane
All the stuff surrounding Elidibus and the other Zodiac signs/stones is something that comes up in discussions in a couple groups that I am in, and I'm always fascinated and mostly lost, haha - this was an interesting look into the lore that my friends are referencing! Great video as always!
technically both versions of the story could be in fact true. Matsuno could have easily applied for a job at Square, Sakaguchi saw his name on a list of potential new hires and opts to interview them himself, and instead of interviewing him, straight up just offers Matsuno a job at the company with his Tactics idea in mind.
ultima using horcruxes before it was cool
Im surprised you didnt include the duplicate weapons glitch. Having multiple excaliburs and defender swords was so freaking cool
Thank you guys for this video, FFUnion!
I just never seem to get sick of FF Tactics or Ivalice content.
I’m so excited for this video. I want more tactics!
I know 0 Final Fantasy Tactics facts, so this one wasn't a hard bar to pass
see, this is why i thought when Ramza came to dissidia his EX skill was gonna be "on brave break, turn enemy into a chicken." cause low brave in tactics did chicken just like low faith did athesis. and on that note, what other FF game had chicken as a status??
War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has Chicken status. Though FWIW its entire gameplay is practically lifted from Tactics, just with a new story & gacha characters instead of the change job system.
The sound test having notes is SO cool. I'd love if Nobuo had that hidden somewhere.
I actually saw this mistake in another video recently: Vanish in FF6 doesn't cancel status immunity in general, just anything relating to KO. You still can't Silence a monster immune to Silence, but you CAN use Life spells on characters who are still standing.
Did I play FF Tactics? I spent endless hours in the secret dungeon leveling up to get over level 80. Having a remark with modern graphic would be a dream come true. Rumor is it is in the works along with Tactics Ogre.
i don't know about that.. "traitor" as you say, its just like chrm, it just last longer and can't be "cured" , and allow you to recruit after the fight, but in fight wise, is the same effect.
Its like if you have poison, that stop at 10% hp , or a poison that can kill , its the same poison, just different effect, so i wouldn't call it "unique"
Faith and brave tho are unique to tactics like vampire too ^^
My favorite Final Fantasy of all the games I've played, Love the story and the soundtrack, hope this game gets more visibility and diffusion so more people get to know this amazing jewel
Great video! I deeply hope we we a proper FFT2 in the future.
They were all super interesting! I just recently got the wotl edition on my phone and am loving it!
What about chicken? Was that not a FFT exclusive status effect? If you used the Orator skill, Threaten/Intimidate, to diminish an enemy's Bravery, they become cowardly, and if diminished even further, they turn into a cute little defenseless chicken sprite and cannot act.
I hadn't heard about the Dev Notes in the Sound Menu, that's pretty great! ;P
I love this game, and this video. Well done.
I love that this game went from a little bit fringe (some ppl just didn’t play strategy back then) to showing what a game with real depth and lore Can really do in the game world today. I’m glad to see it, and I may break my no-touch-screen for old games rule for this, because It’s Tactics.
Final Fantasy Tactics and Azure Dreams are two reasons I’ll always have a PS1 emulator on my PC. Two games that flew under the radar but truly captured my interest and imagination growing up.
I'm hoping they give my guy, Ramza the recognition he deserve.
Would love to see you guys do a video on Tactics Advance. The first Final Fantasy I ever finished!
Yay for new FFT content, thank you!!😍😍😍
oooyess... tactics was my intro to FF (at the time, it was the only game that does not require multiple cds for a full game). it may not be an 'actual' FF per se, it was the game that hook me with the depths/layers of strategy turn based game.
the sound test would have made me love ff tactics even more.
How does this channel not have more views and subs? Where are the FFT players at?
I think you know this is my favorite ff game, that's why you keep making these videos, isn't it.
I’ve been playing FFXII and I want to play Tactics, but I can’t because it’s not on anything I own… unless it’s on Steam. It’s probably on Steam now that I think of it.
Edit: It’s not, but it is on Mobile!
I'm very much hoping this is rectified for the 25th anniversary
Playing FFT as a child long ago it froze on and off, this was unfortunately common idk if due to the ps or a bad cd. However one time it didn’t quite freeze but instead glitched when I was changing jobs, and this caused all hidden jobs to be seen and their prerequisite job lvls to be unlocked. In there were Holy Knight, and also one or two more jobs that I now don’t remember. Unfortunately even though I gained the necessary job-lvls to unlock them they never became available so I guess the weren’t implemented for whatever reasons.
Not exactly a status effect, but I think this was the only Final Fantasy game that also allowed you to permanently turn any of your generic units, including generic humans, into a Malboro. You just need a unti with Beastmaster and a
Malboro Spores: Coat the target in malboro spores, turning it into a malboro. The effect is permanent even after battle and cannot be reverted by any means.
Wow this was deep. Love it
I will always invision in my mind Gafgarion as the Dark Souls 2 cover knight
Hah, I was listening to TPR's Memoria album earlier this day, so when I started this video I thought the other one was looping in the background.
I just found Tactics in IOS. Seeing this thumbnail just sealed the deal. Buying it now.
7 Facts You MIGHT NOT Have Known would have been a better headline. Dont think i knew about the JP glitch though?
I always quickly get the Orator, inviting decent units was part of the fun.
I'm always curious why tactics advance is rarely mentioned when talking about ff spin offs just war of the lions
People tend to prefer Tactics and dislike the more kid oriented Advance. Personally enjoyed Advance more but it definitely has a weaker story.
Yeeeesssssss! Super good vid. Thank you so much!
'FFT is my favorite game, I'm sure I know all of these'
Famous last words.
FFT is one of my favorite FF series
Tactics war of lions is my second favorite game next to front mission 3
What music do you got playing in the background?
i love watchin these fft videos to find out if i dont know something, i feel like i know all about the game but you never know. Today I learned the secret zodiac boss name was Elidibus which is also in FFXIV. I kinda knew the name but never made the connection.
I've always thought Loffrey (Rofel) from the Knight Templars was the cut Lucavi Rofocale, as only he and Cletienne know all about the Lucavi, yet are not seen as normal demons in game when they are defeated, unlike Celia and Lettie for example (Ramza does mention he feels demonic energies from them, but they never turn into Ultima Demons). All Templars seem to possess auracite (Volmarv, Isilud, Meliadoul, Wiegraf) so it wouldn't surprise me he also possesed one (he's the one to give Capricorn to Dycedarg too). He uses the same Crush abilities in FF14 , is found technically where you fight Rofel in Tactics and even talks like him. Another candidate would be Barich , as he is fought right after , and was actually brought back to life by an auracite AND he's a Sagitarius, his scenario is an awful lot like Elmdor, who dies, sells his soul to come back and become Lucavi. (he doesn't use crush abilities tho). I'd say both are good candidates and I always felt like something was cut from those fights, like you know, a Lucavi phase, as Rofel's and especially Cletiennes's fights are extremely underwhelming.
Tactics is my favorite of the FF franchise.
Never get tired if hearing more about the best FF game ever, if not best game ever period.
Thank you for this
FFT is my favorite one and holds a special place in my heart as the first FF I've beaten! Thanks for all these facts!
Tactics Ogre Reborn HYPE! Still love FFT more though...
Queklan looks an awful lot like Ogie Boogie and that was a popular movie in the Japans I hear. I've heard praytell that they added elements to the game to make popular content available such as Cloud (and later Beltheir) Queklan/Oogie Boogie, and the 13 signs thing. I wonder if there is more to be posited this way in this very complex game?
What song is playing around 5:00?
Isn't the chicken status that happens when your bravery gets too low also exclusive to FFT?
you can get chicken status in XIV during an A Realm Reborn trial unlocked as part of the Hildebrand sidequests.
@@kawaxiv I’m there right now😆
Well, it's in WotV.
Getting a Calculator in the first couple of missions trivializes the game.
love this
Ah FFT, Ogre Battle's estranged cousin...
I've been playing this game for the last week. I've never finished it but I'm getting close this time. (I think?)
I keep thinking while playing it, "they should remake it". I'd really like to see a tactics game with modern visuals.
Such a top tear game. I’d love to see not only more FF games in this style but more games in general.
War of the Visions is bringing back the tactics Collab after 2 years.
This is the way!
Okay... I like your delve into Final Fantasy, and Tactics... but you know this is a little clickbait-y?
I'm sure you do. But just keep rolling on your great delving into these games. You'll get followers.
Subscribed.
Best FF, numbered or not, if you breath you agree
Tactics was the first Final Fantasy game, other than Mystic Quest, that I ever finished.
I'll never forget doing the level down trick to max my stats and completely ruining the game with math skill holy.
8:56 WTH, Is this Sephiroth?
I have done this game multiple ways.
One of the only tactical games I actually finished lol
my favorite turn baced game and one of my fav games ever.
I find it frustrating that FFT's PSP port was so borked with the awful slowdown but also the sounds are borked badly and even the music has issues, instruments will not fade as they sometimes should, some midis sound a bit off.
I, love, FFT so all those problems drove me up the wall. Thankfully the PSOne Classics version worked perfectly on PSP
Ahh you guys are the best
I still think the most interesting fact is that we are still waiting for it to be on Steam, Switch, calculator... anything. I'm desperate, Squeenix! Lemme play the game on a newer gen system. We got the Pixel Remaster, which admittedly wasn't stellar or anything but it was something. Or how about the VIII Remaster on the Switch? I just wanna play FFT again, preferably War of the Lions, on a newer-gen console, dangit! And I don't wanna hafta resort to mods and emulators to do it! Do you HATE MONEY or something?!
"WAH!" - The sound all men make when they die.
"WHEE!" The sound all women make when they die.
best among the best
I wonder if a FF tactics open world would be good
Only in the ps1 version, can you steal the full genji armor. 😢
Holy s#¡t; FFT content. Subbed 👌🏼
I still need to play Tactics. It's just SRPGs were never my favorites
It still seems ridiculous to me SE hasn't revived this with a new title for current platforms.
#freefinalfantasytactics
25th anniversary has to have some news coming tomorrow
Knew a guy in highschool all he did is talk about war of the lions he could probably help y'all for the next video haha
ivalice my favorite region
Been seriously dying for a new FF Tactics game for years. I enjoyed the GBA and DS iterations but both failed to capture the same feeling as the original (I played the Original last, and its by far the best of the three). I actually enjoy these spinoffs more than the main series FF games, and Fire Emblem has been without a proper competitor for far too long. Come on Square, I know FF14 is your cash cow but can we get a new Tactics game?
I enjoy content about fft more than I enjoyed playing it lol
Wait an "atheist" status? That is fairly interesting, I've never even knew that was implied in the game
It was called "Innocent" in the original PSX version.
@@the_BattleGoose really, wow, but I feel like that word "innocent" is off for what the status applies, for some reason I feel like the word "atheist" applies better to what the status does, especially with lowering the damage of magic moves towards yourself as well as dealing the damage, especially cause you have a lesser belief in magic itself and or the gods who bestow magic itself.
This is the game I've started playing more times proportional to how many times I've finished it.
I remember no less than 7 different playthroughs, Haven finished one. The furthest I've made it was to the recruitment of Orlandeu before my completionist brain tells me "mist do all the sidequests" and "walking back and forth between two towns is so tedious, abandon now"
I need a Steam release for Tactics so bad. I hope that Nvidia leak ends up being true.
FFT the 🐐 game
