Thanks!
Thanks so much for the super Steven!
thanks STEVEN I needed this
I've always wanted to try a "limited" playthrough without grinding to create more of a challenge, but I never actually go through with it lol
Thanks so much again for the super! And lol it can be hard at times just because the amount of actions and so on. Unless you use save states and save scum on an emulator hard
Same here, never happens
@@J7Jase I can confirm the "limited" playthrough is hard and you are mostly tempted to grind a bit just to overcome an obstacle in the story. I was stuck in a loop of the first Lucavi battle with no extra save file and had to play the same battle over and over again until I got out of that horrible loop. It was my first playthrough and learned the game the hard way.
I have done it, it is amazing. Some chapter 1 & 2 battles can be challenging. But eventually it is also easy. By now I do a “nuzlocke” run where Item is completely banned and reviving is completely banned, meaning that if someone dies, I lose that character. Also no random battles are allowed, straight to red dots. Haven’t been able to beat the game in this way yet my latest run I lost at the final battle against gafgarion.
Limited playthroughs can be fun. I usually pick up skills like Equip shield and use mantles allot though. Dodge is pretty great with this set up.p
My starting party in my recent playthrough is knights/monks, a black mage, and a thief. A knight and a thief is focused on stealing good equipment and gils, my black mage used for quick KOs to enemies with good jobs to get their skills to lessen my grind, killing units that have no value in stealing equipment/skill crystals and secondary skills for debuffs to enemies for easy grinding or buffs for my team. While the rest are focused on healing/reviving and tanking during my grinds. So my party is focused on hard grinding xD
Gotta get those abilities. I tend to grind when I'm in the mood to get dark knight and certain abilities
I'm about to start my first play through of FFT The Lion War mod after not playing vanilla FFT/WotL for nearly a decade. So thank you for this video, it should be a big help getting back into the swing of things! ^u^
Thanks and hope you subscribe
Mystics have pulled me out of some harry situations when fighting early game mages. Silence and blind can help out quite a bit. I also love equiping early game knights with a crossbow. Thay can make the first fight with Wiegraph easier if you break his sword. Crossbows gives you a good two or three tries before he gets close, if you are careful
MP Break on early game mages is helpful too. I tried using Black Mages early game, but their high faith meant they were getting wiped out by mages early on, for me at least. For me, there isn't many things early game that is more satisfying than when an Enemy mage's spell is canceled, after a charge, because they have No MP, or are silenced.
I can understand and see your play style. I like it 👍
I never liked to use mages in this game, with exception of the summoner
Great video! I cannot wait for them to do a terrible port on to steam that is loaded with bugs and crashes.
I always pick up rend speed and rend power on 1-2 characters for grinding. The Knight class is basically required in the first few battles, so you aren’t going out of your way to get them.
Simply reduce the battle down to 1 enemy, use rend speed to get his speed down to 1 or 2, then grind out whatever else you need. Rend power is a little less important, but you can use it in your own characters, if you have them beating on each other. I use the same concept for stealing. The rend abilities are Low percentage, but using them along with dual wield gives you 2 chances at it.
Good times I remember doing this when grinding for dark knight and doing some insane grinding early on lol. I just remember having such bad luck getting the rend speeds and etc. to actually land though lol
I remember grinding with "toad" skill, using it on all enemies and allies, then waste all my mana somwhere and then use toad on blackmage himself
I proceed with auto battle and go to sleep while toads fights to death for several hours 🤣
Yes the famous and well used toad trick @@miorioff
A Chapter 1 Ninja Ramza with Brawler is just OP, and also super easy to unlock if you just protect Ramza in a few random battles to Tailwind himself to a high enough job level 4 Archer, 5 Thief and 2 Geomancer :D
I've done that a few times its super good you somewhat spoiled a future video lol
@@J7Jase NOOOOOO lol oops :D
But still yeah its arguably the best setup for generics + Ramza / Luso :D
Oh btw, forgot of course to mention bring a Mediator/Orator to lower Faith to 3, that's the secret easy mode in this game
I never used monks outside the point i needed them to learn more jobs. Ramza i tend to move into the thief and knight jobs to start and its always worked really well for me. I also usually run 2 mage units and a physical and support unit as well
I mean whatever floats your boat. But Monks are so devastating with High Bravery I think you are missing out
My best starting and kinda was having a female with the best zodiac compatible with mine (I normally rock Pisces) and have her as my main support for Ramza. I normally use Two magic units, two physical and Ramza for most of my starting comps.
I ussually work the Magic characters into Summoner to learn the Half MP skill (God Bless JP glitch), them normally keep them both Summoners as I use the female one with Time Magic for Haste and stuff, and the male one with probably Black Magic just to have some cheap damaging spells.
The physical DPSs vary from run to run, but I normally gravitate in the jobs to make them as a Dragoon and Samurai.
I like that very nice 👍
Monk with equip heavy armor is an absolute murder machine early on and can be gotten pretty quickly without much grinding.
@@michaelathens953 it makes you a bit more tanky and it's nice but idk about murder machine
A Curryman reference! That is a pretty deep cut even for pro-wrestling. His early run in Michinoku got me to go to the King of Indies show back in 2000 which Daniels won. I was the only one with a Curryman sign calling for the Spicy Drop.
Also Monk and Black Mage is the ultimate glass cannon team. I use the Monks as support to the mages. Two Monks and three black mages can take you to end game.
Daniels to me is the most underrated wrestler in history I feel that he was amazing and could do it all. Moves, Mic skills, and could make anyone look good with him, and any gimmick was just awesome. Curry Man, Fallen Angel etc being the example lol. Awesome you got to see him live and went to a show to see him since I believe he is sadly retired now.
Monk and Black Mage are just so solid easy to unlock and just so good
I love that your thumbnail has Miche FFTWoTV.
I really like his character design and backstory
I just figure I had to pick something that matched the FFT style of art lol and thought he would look best. Much thanks!
That Age of Mythology music caught me off guard - but great advice
I'm really surprised like two people so far actually maybe a bit more really noticed and know about age of mythology and thank you
Listening to age of mythology music. Excellent choice.
Glad to see some more AOM fans !
Back then, I always ran this party in the Ps1 version:
Ramza as a Monk...but then later becomes a broken dual wielding Monk.
1 Ninja that also had Chemist skills and throwing ability of a Chemist.
1 Female Black Mage who also used either Math skills or Samurai skills depending on how I was feeling.
1 Knight that usually acts like a Standalone tank for my mages. This Knight also has dual wield so if the first rend ability misses...there will be another chance. Sometimes I make this Knight a Bulky Samurai with Knight abilities.
1 Female White Mage who pretty much acts like support....giving the team Buffs and heals when necessary. This also includes Time Magic.
1 Samurai that would often use Geomancy in late game but in early game be just a Dodge tank.
1 Extra Duel wielding Monk in case I needed more firepower but most of the time Ramza just carries on his own. This Monk also acts as my thief too for late game items.
Nice party setup I dig it 💯
Always keep in mind of the Ramza solo fight against Wiegraf. If you make Ramza a squishy mage, like me, this battle can and will brick wall your progress. I was able to nuke Wiegraf with, if I remember correctly, two Titans, while Ramza desparately auto-potions himself to stay alive. This took me what I could only describe as "too many times".
Yes good point however, I made a video on how to defeat Wiegraf and it depends on how you build your mage too. A Chameleon robe and Arithmeticks/Math Skill Secondary can handle the battle quite well.
That battle is VERY cheese-able if you come prepared.
Ninja Ramza (mace dual wield) with Mettle (tailwind, focus), First Strike, Concentration and Teleport.
Use teleport to run from Wiegraf while using Tailwind to increase your speed every turn until you hit 50, thus giving you 5 turns to Weigraf’s 1. Then use Focus to increase ATK to 99 (also doesn’t hurt to get 100 bravery via Steel). Now you can go in and one-shot the bastard along with Belias and all three minions before they can even move.
Yeah I hate this battle so much.
Or just one shot him with flare
I tend to do monks, black mages and white mages. White mages learn Holy, one of the best spells in the game. They also learn raise and make a great starting point for Samurai imo. Also a thief is fairly easy to train in chapter one. You need stealing early.
White mage can be good just early on the MP for holy can be an issue.
I always give my white mage teleport movement just for the flavor 😂
Really waited on this, thanks a lot for this!
Thanks so much for being patient and waiting! I really wanted it to be good with specific clips and so on. Thank you for the extra support and being here!
I like the AoM theme in the background 💪🏻
Thanks 👍
I had no idea what bravery and faith so I just used a team of knights with battle boots and move+1. Thought monks were bad then I realized I had low bravery and a female monk lol
Happens during our first playthrough and yeah knights can definitely do well here
Avoid using the legendary NPCs makes this game such a challenge. Having Agrias was fun and the rest of their over powered abilities was great. Having a well wounded party was so much more rewarding.
Yes. I've done challenge runs myself and you have a point. However, this video was for the strongest staring party you can get with generics.
Which are more than enough to beat the game and do some challenge runs.
Monk Chakra skill is a exp./jp grind dream
Thanks for the comment. I show it on quite a few other videos.
At first I usually cop out with the Archer, Thief, Lancer tree. Makes the game much easier in money and items. If you can Charm one or two enemies early on in battle it is usually an autowin.
I see what you mean and that Move+2 from Thief is just so great too
I'm new to your channel so maybe you already discussed this before, but dispise the HP/MP differences of male and female, if they have the same values of faith/bravery they will do the same damage?
Thanks!
In most cases no just because males have more PA than females and females have more MA than males. (In most situations) While Bravery is also a factor for Katana, Knight Sword, and Unarmed damage, PA also is.
Also MA for Magic too.
Now if the males and females had the same exact PA, MA Bravery and Faith they will do the same damage. As long as the zodiac signs of enemy/targets are neutral so no damage decrease, increase and also no elemental bonus. Hope that helps
Nice video. I'll be focus on these jobs for a speedrun
Thanks so much!
I would say for a small bit of extra grinding, then I would go with a Time Mage over Black Mage. You could always have Black Magic as secondary, because having early game access to haste, slow, and stop will make the early game very easy.
Time Magic isn't bad really good but I still think base or primary as black mage is better. Will end up with more MA
Great ideas! I just over leveled as a knight!
That can work lol
Ramza class abilities are actually OP for him. He can increase SP and Att on his way in to a fight. Every +1 attack is huge on a Monk
I showed this on several other videos. TY
Great guide!
Thanks so much! Hope it helps for breezing right through the game
Ive been replaying FFT WoL on my psp for the 10000th time and, Ive always one the same thing: Get a mediator/Orator and a thief so I can get items that may not be available to buy just yet, especially from those random encounters.
Before going to Ziekden I got a little carried away and ended up as Lv40ish so Im getting random encounters with endgame items (Black robe, golden hairpin, etc) so I am way too overpowered and I''ve just reached chapter 2.
I've mentioned this strategy in other videos. However human encounters are a bit more rare in Chapter 1 unless you constantly search for them in a few places
This guy dropping the Age of Mythology ost on FFT? That's my childhood, bro.
Glad several people notice Age of Mythology on some of my videos 👍
The best starting party is the friends you made along the way... specifically, the friends with Hamedo.
@@Shin_Lona sadly Hamedo isn't that great. As it doesn't work on Monster abilities.
Only regular attack, charge, Knight abilities. Of course I used it to break bosses with a level 1 Ramza but it has its major weaknesses
Starting Chemist always becomes my best character.
sounds good they branch into the mages quickly too
Those black mages and knights wreck folks in early game. I've always felt monks a tad overrated, but possibly because I'm not using them enough.
They just need a good bravery stat for their unarmed damage
I never paid attetion to bravery or faith in all my playthroughs and exploited ps1's skill glutch for all the jobs i could
Sounds like I love cheating
The best starting party for sure
Thank you
Do Monks and Black Mages have the best stat growths in PA and MA? I know it's a bit impractical, but If you could 1-99 a character, what classes would you stick with?
So for overall best stat growths and what I recommend most are Mimes for HP, PA and MA
Ninjas for SP (their PA is quite solid too)
Mastered Onions Knight are the best but at the same time you can only level them up with the Wild Boar's Bequeath Bacon so not worth it to me
Leveling a mime sounds so very tedious, but I appreciate the swift response as always. Even in Tactics Ogre, Ninjas are easily top tier.
@@Dash-oPepper yes it is they are solid if you have Dancers and Bards in the party though or if you Focus from Squire.
OFC, I always try to give at least a reply, it is hard to keep track of chain replies like this though.
But I'm the most active person who replies to comments on RUclips. I don't just reply to negatives ones like most of these youtubers lol
Going to use black mages ever thought about making an underrated or overlooked video?
I have a lot of ideas 💡 not going to spoil but thank you lol
I consider the entirety of Chapter 1 to be a giant tutorial, with the game actually starting at Chapter 2.
With that said I like to dismiss the first 3 male units and change the first 3 female units into Black Mages and just speed through Chapter 1 with them and whatever you want Ramza to be.
Then when Chapter 2 comes, Ladd, Lavian, and Alicia take the spot of the 3 male units that were dismissed, then I dismiss the 3 female units and start using Ladd, Lavian, and Alicia along with Ramza and whatever unique unit I want as the 5th.
My head canon for dismissing the generics you get at the beginning is to not involve them in the game's story as they are just generics.
But every character you get after that (including Boco) is now one way or another involved in the story and Ramza's shenanigans.
Also, the unit ordering is just nicer and their zodiac sign doesn't really make anything difficult. But my Ramza has always been Aries.
Nice ideas and fun way to play the game and feels very relevant to story and etc.
I'm doing the "5 job fiesta" challenge. I rolled Knight, Squire, Summoner, Mediator, and Dancer. I'm thinking having a male and 3 females, (Ramza - Bartz/Squire, Male - Galuf/Knight, Female 1 - Reina/Summoner?, female 2 - Faris/Mediator?, female 3 - Krille/Dancer?) (The ? is because I'm not sure which one should be those jobs for the females.) With this in mind, what would be the best zodiac signs for my team? I'm assuming Ramza should be Capricorn for the compatibility with the bosses. Also, for the generic units, (since I'll have to create 4 units so I can rename them), what would be the best Brave and Faith starting stats each of them should have?
For the Generic units I would go with for the male Taurus/Virgo and for the females, Taurus, Virgo or Cancer.
Just not a male Cancer since that will be worst compatibility.
But very nice playthrough! I dig it completely.
For Starting Bravery and Faith its luck of the draw but higher Bravery is almost always better besides move find item/treasure hunter.
I would say if you can get both like high to mid 60s of Bravery, high to mid 60s for Faith (If you want them to be a mage.)
That would be awesome starting.
@J7Jase I decided the male (Knight) would be Taurus, and the female (Summoner) would be Virgo. I think I'll have the other 2 females (Mediator and Dancer) will be Taurus as well, so the Summoner will be able to heal them better.
So would you start the game with 2 monks and 2 black mages? Been a while since I played but about to do another playthrough.
Yeah if possible. Ideally if they have good Bravery stats for Monks and good Faith for Black Mages.
You can increase this later though with abilities but if you want to just pick up and go then high Bravery and Faith is ideal like high 60s+
Not as good but definitely knights and chemists. They can get the job done too and you aren't at the mercy of bravery and faith
Agreed completely.
I need a real begineers guide. I dont know how to level up or what guts does
One of these days I should do a full on walkthrough of the game
Monk is the best at the early stage
yeah its really good
i know this song! The best game song ever :D
Good ears nice stuff and agreed 👍
Not popular but archer with concentration or attack boost lol
It isn't bad but I'm not sure if I'd call it the best but definitely viable
Step 1 - Unlock & Spam Accumutale
Step 2 - Unlock Samurai & Blade Grasp
Step 3 - Win
Not necessarily true. While Blade Grasp/Shirahadori is strong vs basic physical attacks it won't protect you vs the unique knight skills and of course magic.
@@J7Jase yeah, but it does help a lot xD
dual wield monks with counter are insane
It depends on the enemy type or battle. As vs ranged they are quite vulnerable
😆 Promo_SM!
what? Don't understand this comment
5 female archers because if u can win with this team there is nothing can give u any challenge anymore.
lol that would be a fun run
archers are fun until you face a random knight with a shield and cloak and 8% chance to land a hit on him 🥲
Thank you for the tips mate if you have anymore tips lemme know :)
I have a few videos in mind for the future so thank you 👍👍
I would say for a small bit of extra grinding, then I would go with a Time Mage over Black Mage. You could always have Black Magic as secondary, because having early game access to haste, slow, and stop will make the early game very easy.
