Here is the FULL version of my retrospective / playthrough. Next video I'm working on is: SECRETS OF EVERMORE. And then maybe SUPER MARIO RPG or FRONT MISSION 3. Please look forward to it. : ) Chapter TIME TAGS are in the DESCRIPTION.
@@ratioretrospectives HAH Same! I've got Kotor 1 and 2, FFT, XCom and Castlevania Symphony of the Night on my phone ALWAYS. It's literally become a yearly itch, every. Single. Year. I get a vampiric craving to play FFT, and after I beat FFT, I run through these specific games almost ritualistically. I am pretty sure I can make each and every sound effect from FFT and Castlevania SOTN with my mouth and no one could tell the difference. I'm subbing to you, it's fun to chat every once and a while, especially during these Dark Times, about the things we love. The things that helped build character in us. So.... Why do you think Delita Killed who he killed at the VERY END of FFT? I Always wondered what others thought about that. Edit:OH I DIDNT REALIZE IT WAS YOU DUDE!!! Hahah I swear I thought I was talking to another just random person hahah
Jesus, your numbers analagy at the beginning is spot on. My friends and I have been playing this game for like 15 years. We have a saying "If it ain't 100%, it's 50/50"
That description of percentages is 100% accurate. A steal chance of over 20% may as well be a 100% chance. An attack with an 80% chance of hitting will miss about 3/4 of the time.
This game has one of the darkest endings ever. No one survives (even the people we should like and sympathies with). The hero is branded an enemy at the end. The person that tries to tell the truth is burned at the stake.
Thats not what happens. Even Matsuno clarified that Ramza and his party survived the end of the game and went off to live peaceful lives. There is even a canon appearance of Ramza and Agrias in another of his games that takes place after the events of ff tactics.
FFT is my favorite game of all time. I replay it every year and 100% the game doing all the deep dungeon. Truly one of the greatest games of all time. Shame it never got a full fledged console sequel.
If rumors are to be believed, its may be getting a remaster / remake. But, yeah, I'd prefer a sequel -- though, to be honest, I *would* take a remaster / remake just as readily !
I’d be very excited for either. But as good as tactics advanced was it certainly was not a sequel that even came close to FFT in terms of storytelling and character writing.
You're a trooper. I absolutely love the game, but the mental effort makes it more of an every other year game for me. Tactics Ogre on the other hand...
I'm fairly certain the final scene with Delita and Ovelia was in the PS1 version. I never played the PSP version, but I did play it on PS1, and I definitely remember that scene.
@@ratioretrospectives Yeah but Delita is ultimately a POS, showing how he abandoned his friends and honor for power and influence EVEN IF it ended up being for the greater good. Ovelia finally had her fill and mostly likely would've taken him out, told the truth of the entire plot, and took as ruler by herself (If you were wondering about why she did it then and there its because she was just made queen and had power to stop him finally and rule on her own once hes dead). She probably thought herself a more fit ruler than one who climbed his way to power in such unsavory ways. If he really did love her and only did the extremely brutal and cruel things he did over the course of the game for justice and for the common man then he wouldn't have immediately stabbed her back or tried a little harder to reason with her (Because honestly I don't care what his sprite looks like, there's no way she could've hurt him THAT badly. He was just quick to return violence with more violence). If he really accomplished his goals and sought to make her queen (which he did) then he would've died satisfied with his actions and how he tore down a corrupt system almost on his own.........BUT HE DIDN'T AND I THINK HE KNEW THAT. He maneuvered in the shadows and taking orders from those in power while slowly working his way up the chain of influence while Ramza (The real hero) didn't bend the knee once to anyone, fighting the entire time with a target on his back. His honor and his friends were beside him the entire time while Delita had no one but his vengeance . He didnt kill his right hand woman (church spy but he effing cut her tongue out) so that tells me that he still has a heart but I think it ends up being "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". Thats why I think that the scene is probably my favorite in the game because it shows how THIS is how he got his way here and THIS is how he'll stay there. Everyone was disposable to him and he learns very quickly that "Heavy is the head that wears the crown" while musing to his himself and his dying wife "Did you get what you wanted Ramza....this...this is what I got". And honestly its pretty effing bleak and he seems genuinely distraught that Ovelia thought him such a cold and ruthless person that he would eventually turn on her someday so she felt forced with her weak arms to end him now. Wouldnt you know it? She was right, he had a knife and immediately gutted her, just another obstacle in his way. He'll be forced to live with that for the rest of his days that he's not the hero he thought himself as and that he is no better than everyone he cut down on his climb to the top. It was later stated in an interview that Ovelia did in fact NOT die from getting shanked by her husband (www.frontlinejp.net/2020/08/26/final-fantasy-tactics-ending-explained-ramzas-fate-and-the-return-to-ivalice/) but she survived and they ruled together for a time until she died later on of unrelated causes but I still hold fast and true that while Delita isnt totally heartless he is still a cold and ruthless person Sorry for the long comment, FFT is my fav of all time and I wanted to share my views on the final scene.
@@2la84me Well said. I didn't watch the entire video yet (an almost 4 hour video will take a while to finish) but what you wrote there was exactly what I thought of back when I played this on PS1.
Thought that scene was her over hearing in a hall, and then getting stabbed, but could be mashing up 2 different scenes. I have a PSX copy somewhere that I should try to break out.
In case you're curious, in the Speedrun (with Math strats), you can immediately blow up Wiegraf with CT --> 3 --> Holy. If you didn't grind *that* up, then just have Ramza run out of range of his attacks as best as you can, and keep stacking Speed until you're getting 5-6 turns to every 1 of his, so you can slap him around a few times and still get away. Or you can have a Wizard with a Samurai's "Draw Out", walk up and bust a Heaven's Cloud sword on him -- equip Magic AttackUP, Wizard Rod, Green Beret, Wizard Robe, Magic Gauntlet. You'll have +16 Magic (plus the extra damage from Magic AttackUP), and he dies super-fast too. Draw Sword ignores evasion and his shield (and won't allow him to counter you), so....it's a primo strat. Heck, the Japanese Glitchless World Record uses a Duel-Wielding Monk with +15 attack, and just...walks right up and socks him twice, outright ending the fight. Heck, if you get your hands on a Chameleon Robe, Wiegraf's AI goes all weird and thinks "Oh, I can't use Holy Sword on you!" Which is....incorrect? But still, it removes that attack from the table entirely, so you have that goin' for ya. (Holy Sword actually uses the weapons' properties, so if you had someone wearing a Black Robe and Duel-Wielding Icebrands ? Hooooo boy, that's a lot of damage goin' out.) There are a few ways to cheese Riovannes Castle. Lancers (again, with Chameleon Robe) will have the range advantage, Mages can blast him from across the map....y'know, good fun. Now, the bloody ROOFTOP, now that one sucks 'cause you can just....lose to RNG, and have no options available to you.
breaking the game is more of an, pardon the pun, *advanced* way of playing and more for the vets, but once you've gone through the game a few times, you wanna crack it open and see what gooey goodness lies inside -- like all the broken and busted combos of items and jobs.
The opening to this aged beautifulling because of BG3. He's literally saying "just because they arent marketing it, doesnt mean there isnt a market for it". I see you and hear you.
Riovannes Castle. That horrid place always haunts my mind when I think of hardest boss fights of all time. It's just that engrained. Absolute banger of a review. Best FF game ever
This is not a video. This is a multimodal analytical paper of why a game is a masterpiece. In regards to Wiegraf, I always reloaded until I succeeded at stealing his sword.
Act 4's sound editing is quite jarring when compared to the rest of the video. however, this was extremely well done, and well thought out. glad i spent my day at work listening. you definitely helped me get through it. i remember being 9 years old and saving just before the Isilude fight. i spent like a week there after school, unable to beat him. my big brother worked at it for a while and he finally was able to beat him for me.
Man, despite all your insane description of the combat and probabilities and strategies...I just remember by the end of the game I turned almost everyone in my party into a monk because their attacks stats were almost broken, had someone to take care of all the healing and I was literally an army of death, good times
What a fantastic watch. Look forward to more videos from your channel. If it gives you any comfort 10yo me also had to restart my entire file due to the wiegraf and I have PTSD with 30 save files a game 25 years later because of it.
BRAVO 👏 Standing ovation even. Appreciate the love for one of my favorite games of all time, and while i could write a novel about my thoughts and experiences with it, you've done a fantastic job here, of covering, and conveying, all of the thoughts/ emotions/ frustrations/ and love I have for Tactics. We'll watch your career with great interest 👍
This was one of those games that even as a child I knew was something special. Unironically I grew up with this game (WoTL) and got stuck at the infamous castle siege gauntlet and as a child, I just gave up there LMAO. Fast forward to highschool and I give it another go and was immediately enthralled by the narrative that I could now comprehend, it also helped that I met one of my close friends through this where we would constantly recite lines from the animated cutscenes in the game in daily life "We must away!" "You speak in nothings!". I also finished the game at that time. Another flash forward and I learn that the game has SO MUCH more to offer because I learn freaking Cloud Strife was in it for some reason, only to be disappointed at how much of a time sink he was being stuck at lvl 1. In that playthrough I learned that levelling multiple jobs unlocked new better and stronger ones with skills that completely broke the game and I think it was there that my brain started expanding. Its like every playthrough I had I would learn something new. Only on my 4th revisit to the game did I actually start engaging with the bravery and faith system and I honestly could not tell if it made me enjoy the game more or not. What I do know now though is that numbers are both lie and the only absolute truth in this world
This game was pretty much my childhood. Watching this whole video really took me back to those times I now wish I could experience again, playing this game for the first time. Thanks for taking me on this trip dude. Great video, Thunder God Cid/10!
1:04 Oops, Ramza's father wasn't the late king. Ovelia was adopted by King Omdoria. Also, at 3:36 you say that the stabbing scene wasn't in the original PSX version, but it was. You seem to have a much more sympathetic reading of Delita than I ever did. That's obviously entirely valid given how morally grey the whole game is. As long as we can all agree that Algus is a little twat. I've only played the PSX version, and there were several scenes in that video that were apparently new. Delita didn't have any of those solo battle scenes in the original, and I wonder how much, as you mention at the end, the new content recontextualized him. Anyway, I probably shouldn't've started with nit-picking junk. The way you put each character into their political context to explain their behavior was really good. You ALMOST made Algus understandable as a representative member of a larger, loyalist-conservative faction.
1) Yes, Algus *is* the definition of a Cunt -- seriously look it up, you'll see his smarmy picture right there in the dictionary. He just also happens to be "right" on his moral musings about Delita and Ramza at the time. Always a hard pill to swallow when shit like that happens. 2) Delita is not a good guy -- like at all -- and I find far less sympathy with him but far more empathy: I get where he's coming from, I get his motivations, and I understand his actions. That's why I "like" him -- as a character, as a literary modality, and as a foil to Ramza, to the more "obvious" hero archetype. It's the same reason I like KOTOR 2 and Kreia so much as well: not that I wish to emulate their ideals or laud them, but that they are written well and well enough for me to gain a further understanding of their motivations or philosophy or the world at large, and maybe more importantly, a better understanding of myself and my own ideals. 3) It's been about 15 years since I last played the PSX version and the years of beer and bong hits have taken their toll. I fear I may be suffering from an acute case of "dogwater brains" -- so I may, and will, get things wrong like adoption details and whatnot. ;)
@@ratioretrospectives Heh, I know something about that party-induced memory loss. It’s totally worth it. You have inspired me to finally play through WotL version, which I’ve tried to do before. This time I’m playing with the “Tweak” mod, which I enthusiastically recommend. It aims to keep very true to vanilla while making just dozens of fixes to bugs and balance.
When you described the length of time considering the need to restart at riovanes castle.... I met that wall as well as a 13 year old. I refused to believe i was stuck for days. But then i relented and restarted. I didn't know about power leveling in certain maps (fovoham windflats) and had never considered attacking my own characters for xp and jp.... so what i did was this: I was alloted 2 hours a day to play games..... so i mapped out how i would farm in mandalia plains over and over 2 hours a day for 2.5 months to get to level 60. And then play through the game again and attempt riovanes. I succeeded and getting orlandu was the best reward ever especially because i didnt know anything about what came next in the game. I'm 34 now watching my son hit that same wall and he's doing the same thing haha. He'll figure out his own strats and it's a blast watching it and hearing about others who had a similar experience.
teaching the next generation the ins and outs of old videogames sounds like what it's all about. i don't have kids (even tho i'm in my mid 30s), but damn it if that doesn't swell the old cold iron heart a bit : )
Really enjoyed this video! Your writing, editing, and cadence are superb. I love long-form video game content, and you nailed it. Hope to see more from you!
If you have the squire ability yell learned (+1 to speed), you can win pretty much any fight with Ramza. I spent weeks trying to get out of the chapter 3 save lock and eventually found the strategy of just buffing Ramza's speed every turn while running away, healing as necessary. It has a snowball effect as the more you buff your speed, the more often you can buff your speed. Eventually you are taking 10 turns for every one enemy turn, at which point you can start buffing your attack power. I was able to beat that fight as archer Ramza with no bow.
This was pretty amazing but the 2x speed is really jarring, tactics is definitely a slow game bur seeing a video in2x speed is weird in if itself. Amazing stuff regardless, your script writing for such a huge undertaking is top notch. Can't wait to see what you cook up nexy
Lol, yeah it is. But I tried to match the script with the content without as many cuts, hence the speed-up. may or may not do that in the future. figuring out as i go along! thanks a bunch for watching!
One of my favorite jokes about Rafa (Rapha) on the roof is that if you spell her name backwards, it's "afar", which is exactly the opposite of what she does with the enemies there
You don't need potions to grind, just set the squires basic skill as your secondary and use accumulate over and over 😊 Loved the video BTW! This is my favorite game of all time.
Balthier is my favorite final fantasy character. He oozes confidence and competence. The guy is smooth, and dastardly witty. Just a heck of a fun character to be around in both games. Despite what the game wants you to believe, he is the main character of his main game too.
GIDEON EMERY, the voice actor, always does a good job. he's got a buttery smooth, psoh swashbuckler kinda voice. balthier was my fav besides basch. nobody likes vaan. lol
Here’s a tip. Ramza as a wizard will obliterate everything and carry you all the way till end game. Not even Wiegraf can survive it. For the “save Rafa” scenario. You literally have to have a ninja or 2 to damage one of the dancers enough. Rafa will die immediately if your “speed” is less than the dancers. I always make sure all my characters learn accumulate and gain JP up as a squire. It’s the best way to power level your characters. Get in any regular fight with monsters. Make them into the weakened state. Goblins are best due to low walk range. Kite them all around the map and Just accumulate for however long you want to learn all the strongest moves for the class you want.
So the last scene with Delita IS in the PSX version. Ovelia stabbed Delita because she knew what he was, someone who would use anyone and everyone to get what he wanted. He stabbed her back, but we knkw from the opening that Delita survived the assassination attempt because he lived to an old age. Anyway, her use was done and she probably thought he would killl her too, or she straight up didnt love him at all and wanted some control over her life at long last.
Superb retrospective of one of my all time favourites! Great commentary all around, both on the insight end and in terms of humour. This one deserves a lot more eyes on it. Look forward to seeing what you do in the future!
Even from someone who didn't love tactics as much as others I must say this has to be the best video about ff tactics on the internet by far. This deserves so many more views and you got yourself a well earned sub. Keep it up man 👏
THANKS so much ! I'm glad i could entertain : ) tell your friends haha i'm slowly working on the next video but it may be a couple months (work and life, you know).
@@ratioretrospectives From someone who does love tactics as much as others, I have to agree that this is the best video about tactics on the internet. You’re making good stuff lad, keep at it.
Riovanes instilled a lifelong reaffirmation of the belief that I always need to max out my starting basic class. That fight seemed like a brick wall. Then...after staring at the skills for ages... I thought I could grind by just accumulating. Which...I could....but I could also speed boost. So ultimately just powering up into an 8x turn one shot became the comical go-to.
i always like to imagine Ramza just sitting in the corner of the room reeeeeeeeeally thinking hard, fingers pressed against his temples, little "+1s" flying above his head every few seconds and Weigraf just staring blankly at him, then, BAM, thundercrack and Ramza just obliterates Weigraf in an anime ninja blur fashion lol
@@ratioretrospectives It's a wonderful feeling. We had this community SRPG playthrough round robin thing a few years back for FFT, that fight gets passed around, team's scuffed, felt so good to break out that trick like "what are y'all struggling with, this dude can fart at infinite speed and power!" As a comedian I can't remember the name of once said "after the first part, someone said he was half dead, half dead....and the cops asked if we had any proof....so we stabbed him again....and sure enough, he was exactly dead."
without a guide to know exactly where to go, doing deep dungeon is like guessing a four digit combination -- using consecutive numbers: 0001. 0002. 0003. etc. "Feel the Weight of it" Chris Wilson whispers to himself lol
Well done, you get your engagement from this guy. Nicely done your cadence and voice are easy to zone to and you subject matter is relatable. Thumbs up
This retrospective is amazing. Brings back so many memories of a game that beat me down repeatedly. So many of us had to start over from scratch after using one save point before an impossible battle
Easily one of the greatest games of all time and definitely one of the greatest of its generation. It was so far ahead of it's time, and I am still holding it out for a remake or a remaster!
I’ll tell you right now, keep doing JRPG retrospectives and your channel will grow. I know it takes time and effort (being a grad with voice acting and whatnot I can relate), and you will be rewarded eventually. This video is amazing. Keep it up!
Neat detail I noticed is Balthier directly references the treasure obtained at the start of Revenant Wings, The Cache of Glabados. Meaning that he took this little excursion through time in between 12 and 12:RW.
What an incredible video! Not only is FFT my favorite FF of all time, it has to one of my top 5 games of all time. I love this game so much, that I have a tattoo of Ramza on my forearm.
The Delita ending is in the ps1 version. I only played that one and I remember that scene. He says "Ramza, what did you get?" Edit: im like 99.9% sure he says that. Or maybe I dreamt it i dunno Edit: yep just looked it up. It is that lol
How the **** did this video not earn you a ton of new subs? Whatever "flaws" you think it has, not even noticeable, for me at least. Thank you for this. FFT has been one of my favorite games ever since it's original release, and you did a great job taking me back in this video. Earned a sub from me and I'll be checking out your other content.
it's one of the few seminal gaming moments. toad telling you peach is in another castle; realizing Samus is a bad-ass chick; "Finishing the Fight"; Micah v. Arthur; "FRESH MEAT!"; whatever it is, it's a core memory for all gamers
It's funny you mentioned living at Walnut Creek and Genova's lol. Always found your videos interesting and entertaining. Would be happy to buy you lunch if you're still in WC! 🤙
@19:30 Yup.....Happened to me too. Wiegraf completely humbled me into starting over. It was also at that point that I felt it was a good idea to have more than one save file....as this happened to me again at the end game.
Hey man, just wanted to say that your content is fan-fucking-tastic. Well-reseaeched, well-spoken, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious. I love it! Liked and subscribed. Do FF7! Also, I wouldn't hate it if you did some non jRPG classics like Ocarina or Metal Gear Solid 1 or something, or maybe something really obscure like Terranigma (although you already did Secret of Evermore, which is kinda obscure, which I appreciated). Keep it up man, you're doing great work!
My jp farming trick was all 5 members in a cross formation, one in the middle one at each orthogonal position. Spam Chakra while the enemies wail on me.
I woke up to this haphazardly as a woodpecker was pounding its face into the wall next to me and heard the comparison to meatloaf. Now all I want is meatloaf. I hunger for it. I hunger for it to contain woodpecker.
oh man, i had a blue jay or something park right next to my bedroom in my apt. and every day for like a year it would chirp louder than a goddamn jackhammer, so i feel you pain. also, meatloaf is love, meatloaf is life.
Ovelia stabbing Delita was in the base game, and to me at least reads as a response to her being completely disillusioned by Delita after eavesdropping the scene where he cut out Valmafra's tongue.
i mean, i get the impulse and the emotion of it, still the scene rang a bit sudden for me at the end. didn't ruin anything for me, just felt odd is all.
@ratioretrospectives Didn't delita become the thing he loathed and, as a false lady, the queen felt the need to end his line before it conjured another age of aristocratic ill upon the land? I think it's brilliant to see how she tries to prevent another such story to be told.
Bravo! Excellent retrospective (but I am a bit biased as FFT is one of my favorite games!) You did an excellent job analyzing the game beat by beat and I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
Here is the FULL version of my retrospective / playthrough. Next video I'm working on is: SECRETS OF EVERMORE. And then maybe SUPER MARIO RPG or FRONT MISSION 3. Please look forward to it. : )

Jesus, your numbers analagy at the beginning is spot on. My friends and I have been playing this game for like 15 years. We have a saying "If it ain't 100%, it's 50/50"
THE MATH CHECK OUT!
This is the most accurate description of how this in-game mechanic works LOL!!!!
“If it’s not 100% accurate, it’s 50% accurate”
This video is everything I've always wanted from a Final Fantasy Tactics retrospective. You have brought tremendous honor to this timeless classic.
THANK YOU, SIR LOYNE. MAY YOUR BEEF BE EVER SEARED AND DELCIOUS.
That description of percentages is 100% accurate.
A steal chance of over 20% may as well be a 100% chance.
An attack with an 80% chance of hitting will miss about 3/4 of the time.
it's the math of RNG and the maths of FFT. it's cosmically hilarious
His point is that every swing is either a swing or a miss, no matter what
This game has one of the darkest endings ever. No one survives (even the people we should like and sympathies with). The hero is branded an enemy at the end. The person that tries to tell the truth is burned at the stake.
love me a dark story -- it's why this game resonated with me so much!
You think that is bleak then you haven't played literally anything by Yoko Toro. The worst endings you can get for each game is the CANON ending.
Thats not what happens. Even Matsuno clarified that Ramza and his party survived the end of the game and went off to live peaceful lives. There is even a canon appearance of Ramza and Agrias in another of his games that takes place after the events of ff tactics.

In case you're curious, in the Speedrun (with Math strats), you can immediately blow up Wiegraf with CT --> 3 --> Holy. If you didn't grind *that* up, then just have Ramza run out of range of his attacks as best as you can, and keep stacking Speed until you're getting 5-6 turns to every 1 of his, so you can slap him around a few times and still get away.
Or you can have a Wizard with a Samurai's "Draw Out", walk up and bust a Heaven's Cloud sword on him -- equip Magic AttackUP, Wizard Rod, Green Beret, Wizard Robe, Magic Gauntlet. You'll have +16 Magic (plus the extra damage from Magic AttackUP), and he dies super-fast too. Draw Sword ignores evasion and his shield (and won't allow him to counter you), so....it's a primo strat.
Heck, the Japanese Glitchless World Record uses a Duel-Wielding Monk with +15 attack, and just...walks right up and socks him twice, outright ending the fight. Heck, if you get your hands on a Chameleon Robe, Wiegraf's AI goes all weird and thinks "Oh, I can't use Holy Sword on you!" Which is....incorrect? But still, it removes that attack from the table entirely, so you have that goin' for ya. (Holy Sword actually uses the weapons' properties, so if you had someone wearing a Black Robe and Duel-Wielding Icebrands ? Hooooo boy, that's a lot of damage goin' out.)
There are a few ways to cheese Riovannes Castle. Lancers (again, with Chameleon Robe) will have the range advantage, Mages can blast him from across the map....y'know, good fun. Now, the bloody ROOFTOP, now that one sucks 'cause you can just....lose to RNG, and have no options available to you.
breaking the game is more of an, pardon the pun, *advanced* way of playing and more for the vets, but once you've gone through the game a few times, you wanna crack it open and see what gooey goodness lies inside -- like all the broken and busted combos of items and jobs.
The opening to this aged beautifulling because of BG3. He's literally saying "just because they arent marketing it, doesnt mean there isnt a market for it". I see you and hear you.
367 hours later, BG3 still remains stellar. now the mods!
This is absurdly good. Really, really well done! Professional-grade.
i hope to get better at the audio quality and video editing, but I appreciate the kind words! thanks for watching : )
@@ratioretrospectives Of course. Your writing is especially good. Author, by any chance?
I write some, yessir. : )@@augustuslxiii
Underrated channel. Listening to your narration was zen. Subbed.
thanks a lot man! glad you liked it : )
As soon as you went into your roast beef story, I knew what battle you were talking about. I too felt the same pain back in the day.
Riovannes Castle.
That horrid place always haunts my mind when I think of hardest boss fights of all time. It's just that engrained.
Absolute banger of a review. Best FF game ever
That opening description of mandelia plains. Spot on haha. Cheer and yell your way to level 99. Then play the game hahaha
degeneracy knows no bounds : P
This is not a video. This is a multimodal analytical paper of why a game is a masterpiece. In regards to Wiegraf, I always reloaded until I succeeded at stealing his sword.
that's like robbing someone and taking their shoes too, so they'd have to walk home barefooted. lol. i like it
The pencil drawing style of those cinematics is absolutely beautiful.
Amazing video! I love FF Tactics and this is by far the best retrospective on YT. Can’t wait to see more from you
thanks man! i appreciate the watch and kind words. I am working on making a video once every 1-2 months, so check back soon !
Act 4's sound editing is quite jarring when compared to the rest of the video. however, this was extremely well done, and well thought out. glad i spent my day at work listening. you definitely helped me get through it.
i remember being 9 years old and saving just before the Isilude fight. i spent like a week there after school, unable to beat him. my big brother worked at it for a while and he finally was able to beat him for me.
this game was my heart and soul just as high school ended. it was already like 10 years old then but i still rocked it lol.
no matter the age, it's always a good time for FFT : )
How this game has not been re-released on modern consoles/PC is a tragedy.
I AGREE, GOOD SIR
It’s on iOS
@@joeypiccoli gross lmao
Be the change you want to see in the world
@@WhizPill ....by porting a licensed game?
How does one go about doing that?
Man, despite all your insane description of the combat and probabilities and strategies...I just remember by the end of the game I turned almost everyone in my party into a monk because their attacks stats were almost broken, had someone to take care of all the healing and I was literally an army of death, good times
Accumulate x 10 + a simple punch and /or throw rock. The true Meta.
What a fantastic watch. Look forward to more videos from your channel.
If it gives you any comfort 10yo me also had to restart my entire file due to the wiegraf and I have PTSD with 30 save files a game 25 years later because of it.
thanks! (you and me both, man. i learned from that moment and do exactly what you do -- have multiple files all the time now lol)
BRAVO 👏 Standing ovation even.
Appreciate the love for one of my favorite games of all time, and while i could write a novel about my thoughts and experiences with it, you've done a fantastic job here, of covering, and conveying, all of the thoughts/ emotions/ frustrations/ and love I have for Tactics.
We'll watch your career with great interest 👍
tactics holds a special place in my gamer heart. thanks for watching, my dude!
This was one of those games that even as a child I knew was something special. Unironically I grew up with this game (WoTL) and got stuck at the infamous castle siege gauntlet and as a child, I just gave up there LMAO.
Fast forward to highschool and I give it another go and was immediately enthralled by the narrative that I could now comprehend, it also helped that I met one of my close friends through this where we would constantly recite lines from the animated cutscenes in the game in daily life "We must away!" "You speak in nothings!". I also finished the game at that time.
Another flash forward and I learn that the game has SO MUCH more to offer because I learn freaking Cloud Strife was in it for some reason, only to be disappointed at how much of a time sink he was being stuck at lvl 1. In that playthrough I learned that levelling multiple jobs unlocked new better and stronger ones with skills that completely broke the game and I think it was there that my brain started expanding.
Its like every playthrough I had I would learn something new. Only on my 4th revisit to the game did I actually start engaging with the bravery and faith system and I honestly could not tell if it made me enjoy the game more or not.
What I do know now though is that numbers are both lie and the only absolute truth in this world
big true to all of it.
Ahh, the "throw stones at your allies and enemies at every turn you have" game. I so miss this.
I would say it's a life lesson , but i don't really know what that lesson would be lol
This game was pretty much my childhood. Watching this whole video really took me back to those times I now wish I could experience again, playing this game for the first time. Thanks for taking me on this trip dude. Great video, Thunder God Cid/10!
i feel like that's how all scoring metrics / systems should be based on: how many TCG Cids out of ten. lol. thanks man! glad i could entertain
The Delita scene where delita kills Ovelia IS in the psx version also. Its incorrect that it was not in the original game.
1:04 Oops, Ramza's father wasn't the late king. Ovelia was adopted by King Omdoria. Also, at 3:36 you say that the stabbing scene wasn't in the original PSX version, but it was. You seem to have a much more sympathetic reading of Delita than I ever did. That's obviously entirely valid given how morally grey the whole game is. As long as we can all agree that Algus is a little twat. I've only played the PSX version, and there were several scenes in that video that were apparently new. Delita didn't have any of those solo battle scenes in the original, and I wonder how much, as you mention at the end, the new content recontextualized him. Anyway, I probably shouldn't've started with nit-picking junk. The way you put each character into their political context to explain their behavior was really good. You ALMOST made Algus understandable as a representative member of a larger, loyalist-conservative faction.
1) Yes, Algus *is* the definition of a Cunt -- seriously look it up, you'll see his smarmy picture right there in the dictionary. He just also happens to be "right" on his moral musings about Delita and Ramza at the time. Always a hard pill to swallow when shit like that happens. 2) Delita is not a good guy -- like at all -- and I find far less sympathy with him but far more empathy: I get where he's coming from, I get his motivations, and I understand his actions. That's why I "like" him -- as a character, as a literary modality, and as a foil to Ramza, to the more "obvious" hero archetype. It's the same reason I like KOTOR 2 and Kreia so much as well: not that I wish to emulate their ideals or laud them, but that they are written well and well enough for me to gain a further understanding of their motivations or philosophy or the world at large, and maybe more importantly, a better understanding of myself and my own ideals. 3) It's been about 15 years since I last played the PSX version and the years of beer and bong hits have taken their toll. I fear I may be suffering from an acute case of "dogwater brains" -- so I may, and will, get things wrong like adoption details and whatnot. ;)
@@ratioretrospectives Heh, I know something about that party-induced memory loss. It’s totally worth it. You have inspired me to finally play through WotL version, which I’ve tried to do before. This time I’m playing with the “Tweak” mod, which I enthusiastically recommend. It aims to keep very true to vanilla while making just dozens of fixes to bugs and balance.
I’ve fallen asleep to this 3 times before I realized how many cutscenes he left in this full story breakdown
let the dulcet tones of improperly mixed 3d anime lull you to sleep...
When you described the length of time considering the need to restart at riovanes castle....
I met that wall as well as a 13 year old. I refused to believe i was stuck for days. But then i relented and restarted.
I didn't know about power leveling in certain maps (fovoham windflats) and had never considered attacking my own characters for xp and jp.... so what i did was this:
I was alloted 2 hours a day to play games..... so i mapped out how i would farm in mandalia plains over and over 2 hours a day for 2.5 months to get to level 60. And then play through the game again and attempt riovanes.
I succeeded and getting orlandu was the best reward ever especially because i didnt know anything about what came next in the game.
I'm 34 now watching my son hit that same wall and he's doing the same thing haha. He'll figure out his own strats and it's a blast watching it and hearing about others who had a similar experience.
teaching the next generation the ins and outs of old videogames sounds like what it's all about. i don't have kids (even tho i'm in my mid 30s), but damn it if that doesn't swell the old cold iron heart a bit : )
Really enjoyed this video! Your writing, editing, and cadence are superb. I love long-form video game content, and you nailed it. Hope to see more from you!
thanks very muchly! hope to have a video out every 1-2 months (or thereabouts).
Thank you for your good hard work. You made a 52 years old man very happy. Greetings from Corfu island, Greece dear sir.
no matter the age, we all love these games! thanks for watching, mate. greetings!
If you have the squire ability yell learned (+1 to speed), you can win pretty much any fight with Ramza. I spent weeks trying to get out of the chapter 3 save lock and eventually found the strategy of just buffing Ramza's speed every turn while running away, healing as necessary. It has a snowball effect as the more you buff your speed, the more often you can buff your speed. Eventually you are taking 10 turns for every one enemy turn, at which point you can start buffing your attack power. I was able to beat that fight as archer Ramza with no bow.
cant hit what you cant catch. a bold but often successful strategy.
This is the way out of the cooker
This was pretty amazing but the 2x speed is really jarring, tactics is definitely a slow game bur seeing a video in2x speed is weird in if itself.
Amazing stuff regardless, your script writing for such a huge undertaking is top notch. Can't wait to see what you cook up nexy
Lol, yeah it is. But I tried to match the script with the content without as many cuts, hence the speed-up. may or may not do that in the future. figuring out as i go along!
thanks a bunch for watching!
1:23:22 i love it lol i love that you kept that in hahaha
usually i catch it, but sometimes i don't. in those instances, it deserves recognition lol
One of my favorite jokes about Rafa (Rapha) on the roof is that if you spell her name backwards, it's "afar", which is exactly the opposite of what she does with the enemies there
ha! truetrue
You don't need potions to grind, just set the squires basic skill as your secondary and use accumulate over and over 😊 Loved the video BTW! This is my favorite game of all time.
true, but if i take damage, then i gotta heal! to chug or not to chug, that is the question. lol
Big true!
Awesome vid. Watched the whole darn thing. Plan to keep my eye on this channel dude!
thanks for watching!
was surprised only seeing 900 subs on your channel. pretty fucking good video mate
thanks, man!
Thank you for making such a long video about one of my favorite games!
you're welcome! thanks for watching
You're channel is an amazing hidden gem. Such fantastic quality and writing. Keep up the fantastic work!
thanks so much man!
Balthier is my favorite final fantasy character. He oozes confidence and competence. The guy is smooth, and dastardly witty. Just a heck of a fun character to be around in both games. Despite what the game wants you to believe, he is the main character of his main game too.
GIDEON EMERY, the voice actor, always does a good job. he's got a buttery smooth, psoh swashbuckler kinda voice. balthier was my fav besides basch. nobody likes vaan. lol
@@ratioretrospectives Vaan has to be one of my least favorite FF characters and his white washed Aladdin self ruined so many important moments.
of course he does. After all: he's the leading man!
@charless1145 that's right!
Thanks for covering my favorite game on earth 😎
Your work here is based as hell
Here’s a tip. Ramza as a wizard will obliterate everything and carry you all the way till end game. Not even Wiegraf can survive it. For the “save Rafa” scenario. You literally have to have a ninja or 2 to damage one of the dancers enough. Rafa will die immediately if your “speed” is less than the dancers. I always make sure all my characters learn accumulate and gain JP up as a squire. It’s the best way to power level your characters. Get in any regular fight with monsters. Make them into the weakened state. Goblins are best due to low walk range. Kite them all around the map and Just accumulate for however long you want to learn all the strongest moves for the class you want.
love that roast beef sandwich story. had to restart my game then too 😅
it was a great sandwich, my friend~
This video is a grand accomplishment. Good work! I loved this trip down memory lane.
thanks so much for watching!
So the last scene with Delita IS in the PSX version. Ovelia stabbed Delita because she knew what he was, someone who would use anyone and everyone to get what he wanted. He stabbed her back, but we knkw from the opening that Delita survived the assassination attempt because he lived to an old age. Anyway, her use was done and she probably thought he would killl her too, or she straight up didnt love him at all and wanted some control over her life at long last.
Superb retrospective of one of my all time favourites! Great commentary all around, both on the insight end and in terms of humour. This one deserves a lot more eyes on it. Look forward to seeing what you do in the future!
thanks so much! I am glad yall are enjoying it. (next video is gonna be SUPER MARIO RPG).
Even from someone who didn't love tactics as much as others I must say this has to be the best video about ff tactics on the internet by far. This deserves so many more views and you got yourself a well earned sub. Keep it up man 👏
THANKS so much ! I'm glad i could entertain : ) tell your friends haha
i'm slowly working on the next video but it may be a couple months (work and life, you know).
@@ratioretrospectives
From someone who does love tactics as much as others, I have to agree that this is the best video about tactics on the internet.
You’re making good stuff lad, keep at it.
thanks man! : )@@thomasshuck3923
Best review of Final Fantasy Tactics Ever and a bit comical too I 💕 Love it 💪🏾😎👍🏾🔥💯
thanks, brother!
Riovanes instilled a lifelong reaffirmation of the belief that I always need to max out my starting basic class. That fight seemed like a brick wall. Then...after staring at the skills for ages... I thought I could grind by just accumulating. Which...I could....but I could also speed boost. So ultimately just powering up into an 8x turn one shot became the comical go-to.
i always like to imagine Ramza just sitting in the corner of the room reeeeeeeeeally thinking hard, fingers pressed against his temples, little "+1s" flying above his head every few seconds and Weigraf just staring blankly at him, then, BAM, thundercrack and Ramza just obliterates Weigraf in an anime ninja blur fashion lol
@@ratioretrospectives It's a wonderful feeling. We had this community SRPG playthrough round robin thing a few years back for FFT, that fight gets passed around, team's scuffed, felt so good to break out that trick like "what are y'all struggling with, this dude can fart at infinite speed and power!"
As a comedian I can't remember the name of once said "after the first part, someone said he was half dead, half dead....and the cops asked if we had any proof....so we stabbed him again....and sure enough, he was exactly dead."
Lol, the POE and Chris Wilson reference was just great, nicely played.
without a guide to know exactly where to go, doing deep dungeon is like guessing a four digit combination -- using consecutive numbers: 0001. 0002. 0003. etc. "Feel the Weight of it" Chris Wilson whispers to himself lol
thank you for covering the story, can't recall how many reviews I've watched it that calls it complex and doesn't expound upon that
thanks for watching! : )
Well done, you get your engagement from this guy. Nicely done your cadence and voice are easy to zone to and you subject matter is relatable. Thumbs up
Thanks muchly, my good sir.
This retrospective is amazing. Brings back so many memories of a game that beat me down repeatedly. So many of us had to start over from scratch after using one save point before an impossible battle
Easily one of the greatest games of all time and definitely one of the greatest of its generation. It was so far ahead of it's time, and I am still holding it out for a remake or a remaster!
rumors suggest a remake / remaster is coming...
I really hope so. FFTA and A2 hold a special place in my heart but its not even close to how good FFT is, and I played FFT last of the 3 ;p
The director made a statement that there is no plan to remaster the game =/
@@hansgulbranson9506 Good.
I'd LOVE a full blown remaster with voice overs and updated graphics
I’ll tell you right now, keep doing JRPG retrospectives and your channel will grow. I know it takes time and effort (being a grad with voice acting and whatnot I can relate), and you will be rewarded eventually. This video is amazing. Keep it up!
thanks a lot, man. will do! (and i am getting better at recording my voice -- little by little anyway). next up is chrono cross! in a month or so!
Just started watching this video and I can already tell I’m gonna love it, like many here in this comment section. FFT is my favorite game ever lol
thanks, man! it's one of my favs too
Thank you, excellent retrospective!
thanks for watching!
Neat detail I noticed is Balthier directly references the treasure obtained at the start of Revenant Wings, The Cache of Glabados. Meaning that he took this little excursion through time in between 12 and 12:RW.
What an incredible video! Not only is FFT my favorite FF of all time, it has to one of my top 5 games of all time. I love this game so much, that I have a tattoo of Ramza on my forearm.
Great video, dude, thoroughly enjoyed it ;)
thanks a lot, man!
Kinda insane the amount of things I didnt know about this game vs the time I spent in it.
Great vid, good job!
thanks for watching!
I’ve never played this game but the narration of this video is absolutely hilarious!!!
thanks for watching!
The Delita ending is in the ps1 version. I only played that one and I remember that scene. He says
"Ramza, what did you get?"
Edit: im like 99.9% sure he says that. Or maybe I dreamt it i dunno
Edit: yep just looked it up. It is that lol
This video took me back to my childhood thank you so much!!
thanks for watching!
8:59 to quote a different game in the same genre: That's XCOM baby!
i know all too well...
How the **** did this video not earn you a ton of new subs? Whatever "flaws" you think it has, not even noticeable, for me at least. Thank you for this. FFT has been one of my favorite games ever since it's original release, and you did a great job taking me back in this video. Earned a sub from me and I'll be checking out your other content.
I'm 15 min in, and dude! I love your humor
thanks, man! : )
Hey! Can I get a TLDR version of how to get the optional members for cloud? You got me interested!!
Really enjoyed this. Gonna go binge thebrest of your channel now, brb.
MY MAN!
RUclips really likes me watching this video i think its the 10 time its brought me back in 5 months
Why this game hasn’t been ported to modern consoles blows my mind, same for CHRONO trigger
as in a remake / remaster? i agree.
I love how being hard locked in Riovanes castle is a trauma we all share 🙏
it's one of the few seminal gaming moments. toad telling you peach is in another castle; realizing Samus is a bad-ass chick; "Finishing the Fight"; Micah v. Arthur; "FRESH MEAT!"; whatever it is, it's a core memory for all gamers
Fun fact: PS1 version allows you to steal all genji armor from the Vampire, you can’t in the psp.
yep. i spent many an hour trying to just that lol
Oh man this video brought back so many memories! Hours and hours of grinding mixed in with possibly the best plot ever in a video game.
i was 11? i think when i first played this back in the day. ahhh 90s... a different age lol
Hours and hours of beating on your own party while an enemy cowers with 1 hp in the corner 😂
@@udalix lol yep.
this is the way@@udalix
It's funny you mentioned living at Walnut Creek and Genova's lol. Always found your videos interesting and entertaining. Would be happy to buy you lunch if you're still in WC! 🤙
haha thanks for the offer! genovas is BiS sandwhich shop.
@19:30 Yup.....Happened to me too. Wiegraf completely humbled me into starting over. It was also at that point that I felt it was a good idea to have more than one save file....as this happened to me again at the end game.
Hey man, just wanted to say that your content is fan-fucking-tastic. Well-reseaeched, well-spoken, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious. I love it! Liked and subscribed.
Do FF7! Also, I wouldn't hate it if you did some non jRPG classics like Ocarina or Metal Gear Solid 1 or something, or maybe something really obscure like Terranigma (although you already did Secret of Evermore, which is kinda obscure, which I appreciated).
Keep it up man, you're doing great work!
I really enjoyed this retrospective and i like your humor pal. Got my sub
Solid vid, thanks.
NP. thanks, bud
Outstanding long form dig into this classic. I look forward to more content from you!
thanks a lot man! it might be a slow going, but i will endeavor to make more ; )
Fantastic video
thanks!
I’ve listened several times at bed… not kidding.. maybe 20-30 times
Fun fact aboutvthe chocabo in aruguay woods, its weingarfs old mount from thw flashback.
oh really? that's cool!
@ratioretrospectives look at the names and note of you ko'ed the chocobo in the fight, its merely Ko'ed not KIA.
Great vid. Had to sub when I saw you were at 999.
mr. one thousand! thanks, man !
Great vid. Subbed. Looking forward to your future projects 👌👌
The part about the percentages is too relatable, and it extends to my experience with Baldur's Gate 3 as well
no karmic dice in FFT unfortunately...
This was so beautiful. A game i’ve played so dearly for over a decade now.
and for a decade longer still, i hope!
19:31 I bet that certain fight happened on a certain rooftop. *grabs popcorn*
it may or may not be. 😉
My jp farming trick was all 5 members in a cross formation, one in the middle one at each orthogonal position. Spam Chakra while the enemies wail on me.
we all have our own cheese strat but we can all agree: cheese is delicious ;P
I woke up to this haphazardly as a woodpecker was pounding its face into the wall next to me and heard the comparison to meatloaf. Now all I want is meatloaf. I hunger for it. I hunger for it to contain woodpecker.
oh man, i had a blue jay or something park right next to my bedroom in my apt. and every day for like a year it would chirp louder than a goddamn jackhammer, so i feel you pain. also, meatloaf is love, meatloaf is life.
This game is such a polished gem ❤
indeed, good sir! i agree
I have to rewatch this again. I fell a sleep watching it.
it happens. let the not-so-dulcet tones of my poorly recorded voice lull you to dreamland
Great video!
THANKS!
Ovelia stabbing Delita was in the base game, and to me at least reads as a response to her being completely disillusioned by Delita after eavesdropping the scene where he cut out Valmafra's tongue.
i mean, i get the impulse and the emotion of it, still the scene rang a bit sudden for me at the end. didn't ruin anything for me, just felt odd is all.
@ratioretrospectives Didn't delita become the thing he loathed and, as a false lady, the queen felt the need to end his line before it conjured another age of aristocratic ill upon the land? I think it's brilliant to see how she tries to prevent another such story to be told.
This was an extremely excellent video to put on while I game
hell yeah, man! that's why i made it : ) glad you enjoyed it as you gamed.
Bravo! Excellent retrospective (but I am a bit biased as FFT is one of my favorite games!) You did an excellent job analyzing the game beat by beat and I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
thanks, man! I am glad you enjoyed it! (FFT is one of the best games, I agree).
