There are actually a ton of these. How are there no eye witnesses of Orlandeau walking around and about, noses, how Ramza's entourage aren't being constantly tracked or hunted, using the stone to bring back March and Elmdore but not Tietra lol
There no eye witnesses because Ramza and co. eliminates everybody they encounter. xD ...On a sad note, pretty sure Teta dead body work as a meat shield and was what saved Delita's life once fort Zeikden explode and burn to a crisp. He did say Teta saved him; so can only think that was the case.
@@Fugazity Teta TRIED to be a human shield. Delita probably got cooked, too. He's like fuckin' Auron from Final Fantasy X, itself taking tons of cues from FFT's story.
Chuck Norris irl blade grasp. And yeah good points makes me wonder why Argath would be in command of a military group. Never did stop to think about that
@DenamMorne They did, but now that Ramza had saved him, having Argath (a man close to Elmdore) with an extreme degree of loyalty towards the Beoulves would help Dycedarg organize future schemes. So he was just trying to bounce back from Gustav's failure, in my opinion. Either that or they wanted someone to take the fall, should the operation go sideways.
they was too afraid of him, i mean, non of the people who had try to grab him, Zalmo included, could do anything against his power, less a merchant who only want to sell his products to a good clients with lots of money.
Considering Ramza's father was a legendary War Hero from what may have been one of the oldest, prestigious Noble families in All of Ivalice History both for his skill as a Knight and more importantly his integrity when it came to doing the right thing... it could be a combination of both out of respect for who his father was for those that recognized him as well as the fact that his mother was a courtesan. In Barbeneth's eyes it didn't matter that you were lowborn or not so Ramza and Alma were still accepted into the family as Highborn. That said I'm sure there were many who did not agree that These two were true nobles and in doing so they essentially fell under the radar in the realm of politics. I honestly believe that many of the nobility didn't even know they existed and thought Barbeneth only had two sons in Dycedarg and Zaalbag. The only reason the church knew Ramza's identity was largely because he was constantly being a thorn in their side and straight up taking the tools for their greater plan in the Zodiac stones. He was becoming a significant problem they couldn't ignore and threatening to expose their plan to the world! Plus I'm pretty sure just like in real world history the church was largely responsible for keeping birth records of nobility so someone could have pieced it together sooner or later even if he was still going by his mother's maiden name.
None of them believed the charges. Also, if you're a heretic of the church, you get excommunicated. The church doesn't actively stalk you for your head. Actual executions over witchcraft were rare. The people who understand the Beoulve clan's reputation would give him a miss. Finally, there was a civil war over regal succession. Nobody was in the mood to go after a notably talented soldier.
@@Fugazity I mean I cant blame them. ramza got rid of the blood goddess the strongest living being in the world so no way they could fight ramza especially he recruits so many talent fighters like the green robe swordswoman which by the way she is strong enough to get rid of that one mage magic barrier.
Awww.... I was hoping you would include my favorite one Knight: Rend Shield! Agrais: Block! 🛡 Me: ..... 😂 And growing up with martial art films, I have accepted Blade Grasp's logic with the melee weapons and arrows, but I still call bs on bullets. You'd need to be Barry Allen to be able to do that
Incoming part 2 lol. I had a blast so some of the other comments and or things I see may make me want to make another video. I was debating on doing something with the monk in regards to martial arts but it didn't make this video. I may have to return with this in some top 50 or something lol
The Orran papers and Germonik Scriptures surviving the church's custody is curious...I can only imagine that the priest charged with destroying them was a secret supporter of Orran, and so hid the papers instead...Or that a clever man like Orran had stashed the original papers somewhere, and carried copies with him in case the "meeting" with his church contacts went sour.
Yeah that is a very good possibility or he hid them away, they forgot, a lot of endless possibilities for sure lol. That would be a cool and detailed back story though to be honest. If he had multiple copies that would be something lol. Especially back in the old days
I believe Ramza at the end game collected all the stones as the one missing till that point was Leo and Virgo, so most likely Leo create a miracle for Ramza so he could recover his sister intact, you know they react to the strong emotions the holder of the stones has, so i guess this can explain this crazy outcome. But i do wish this was better explained in a cut scene, leo shining and Alma's body returning... BTW Alma's zodiac sign is Leo and so i maybe Ramza sign "should" be Virgo?
Algus knew they were common folk by their clothes and hair. The tavern or shop owner call him Lord bcuz Ramza is from a high class family, the way he carries himself and his clothes he looks wealthy so the merchants are simply showing respect to get the sale.
Algus/Argath isn't from the area and Delita and Tietra literally wear the same clothes as nobles. (Ramza's father took them in and cared for them.) In Chapter 1 I agree but later on into the game, he is a wanted man and gave up his status and put his house name behind him.
Seriously, hook me up with that face lotion or whatever blood you all bathe in; TG Cid is HOW OLD?! I gotta admit, knowing Ramza is as old as he is in Chapter 4 has earned him so much more respect with me. He isn't the boy who grew up too quickly and dared to be bold in the face of defeat; he actually has lived a grizzled and hardy life, searching for his sister for, well, I'm not sure how long anymore! It's these details that emerge after playing for decades that reveal how well-thought-out and intentional the decisions the story designers made when crafting these characters, the events they endure, and the repercussions of their efforts. The other weird logic notes were great, too, I should mention! This one in particular got me good, though! Awesome video, J7Jase, and I hope there are more of these to come in the future!
Looking back at the age of my characters, I realized I have way too much time put on my main save file lol. Ramza is honestly a g. Looking back and slowly thinking about it. Although I'm still upset that he lets Marach into the party although I'm sure he just cared about Rapha lol. Thanks Mikey! I think a part 2 or part 3 might come in the future lol there are so many of these moments in the game where we just have to laugh or scratch our heads for sure!
Maybe they're simply calling him "lord" in the same way every adult is called "sir" or "ma'am" IRL. People used to say "my lord" (or m'lord/m'lady) more often, after all.
@@J7Jase That's true. That's just how I rationalize the game's usage: as the owners of a business trying to be agreeable to all customers. It's the only thing that keeps it making sense. Like you said, it's nonsensical how the game does it - if it's to keep referring to Ramza by his lost title. Perhaps we're seeing Ivalice change its social norms a bit. IRL, "sir" used to be reserved for knights and certain peerage positions, but now I get called "sir" at McDonald's.
Even if he has left, he is still of noble blood. This is in an age where this is the belief system. For example, prince harry is still recognized as a prince despite not keeping his royal title.
Monsters laying eggs without a partner doesn't sound too strange. There are some species of lizards in real life capable of laying eggs without a mate. Monsters could use the same logic, after all, they are not really animals.
He definitely could have agreed. However, his actions or joining up with the Church full time would just be weird. (Even though he was a devout follower.) While he is a high ranking leader and has his own Castle, he still served under Goltanna. Goltanna also threw Orlandeau into prison with little to no evidence, it makes me think he would want Elmdore throw in jail too.
The stuff regarding Argath explains why Zalbag ordered Tetra killed. I found this video trying to find the answer to this question. So basically, the answer was simply, mistranslation, but it provides important clues. In Japanese, when Zalbag gave the order, it says "構わん、やれ" which when translated means "I won't be bothered, do it!" and that's even a rough translation. The implication here is that Zalbag feels he cannot allow Delita and his sister's connection to the family get in the way of a decision he'd otherwise make if it was, say, a soldier held hostage, which is made obvious by the threat of the base exploding or otherwise letting him get away (possibly with the hostage to use again). Algus' response to this order was a strangely shortened version of the formal word for "yes" in japanese, which i believe meant that Algus was a bit taken aback by this but didn't hesitate. So, how does this explain the stuff with Algus? Well, keep in mind that kind of like how every navy sailor knows the aircraft carriers,, even if they don't serve on them, and everyone knows who Taylor Swift is, everyone kinda knows at least about the royalty and nobles. Surely the BS drama about Ramza and his non-noble friend was all over the place. And when push came to shove, everyone knew the order of things: lowborns will die in service to highborns. This also means that since he's also a noble, he's automatically outranking those much lesser soldiers who don't even ahve unique sprites, which is why he's trusted with all that. EDIT: And this explains 1 as well: it's not their place in society to execute judgement on a noble, even fi they are criminals to be executed.
Actually there is a lot wrong here. Idk what video you watched but there are still many plot holes and errors here. Argath was never part of the order and isn't a man from Gallione. So why he would suddenly have command of a bunch of knights here makes zero sense. As for this situation, I'm not sure how the scene was at Eagrose with Argath and Delita was but Argath simply didn't care about commoners, more evidence with Millueda and Delita otuside of Eagrose before he gets removed from the party. The thing is he never was party of the Northern Sky or is a man of the region so despite being a noble this does make no sense. That is like a foreigner or an enemy of your nation all of a sudden becoming an officer in so little time with proving yourself. If there was a middle scene that clarifies how Argath all of a sudden became cool with Dycedarg and Zalbaag, be my guest. But this part of the story remains unclear period.
Regarding Argath's knowledge of Delita's status: he's a noble. There are books of peerage that list entire family lineages. Delita and Teta not being listed in such books would indicate they're not peers, i.e. not of noble blood. Argath being a noble is what allowed him to take command of a unit as well. As for the bartenders and storekeepers referring to Ramza as "my lord" in the shop dialogues, that's just how they address all nobles. They're not referring to any actual title, as Ramza never advances beyond "knight" (his elder brother inheriting the title of Lord from their father upon his death) before he was expelled from the family.
But he isn't from that region. And he isn't a high ranking noble at that. As for the story of him commanding a military unit, he hasn't proven himself in battle yet and Zalbaag and Dycedarg even gave him the cold shoulder earlier. It makes zero sense why he would command an order from them lol. Unless they do a deep down into that part of the story. Later on he leaves and is even a wanted man. So the Lord title should get thrown away at that point
@J7Jase Thank you for doing so, seems a bit weird they just come out of nowhere... Would like to know more about them and prior to the lucavi possession
Monster Eggs are not terribly amusing for another reason besides overcrowding your roster: you can destroy them. That makes me uneasy. So, what I did for my peace of mind was mentally expand upon the series' general lore pertaining to summoned creatures or recurring monster types like Chocobos or Bombs. They're all Genjuu, or Phantom Beasts. Genjuu operate under very different rules, not the least of which include conception and mortality. Slaying them is doing Ivalice a perceived service as they are super-dangerous. The underground market offers items at a discount for your service in this regard. Genjuu do not lay eggs--perhaps it's something that Orlan's account failed to grasp the nuances of when painting his tarot cards--but instead (and this might be a minor graphical and textual mod), the presence of an Invited Genjuu has the power to attract those of like kind toward your location from the N-Zone or Limbo, whichever you prefer. However, the allied Genjuu allow you to "Dismiss" the Portal that's drawing them to you. That's better than turning the prospect into an omelet. As for dispatching only 5 heads at a time, this is to circumvent a hard sprite limit. There can be nine unique sprite setups, like a Chocobo, Ahriman, Coeurl, Drake, Male Squire, Female Squire, Monk, Knight, and Black Mage. You could not get away with an additional figure, say a Dancer, without graphical glitches and other nonsense. The occasional pitched cinematic battle may include more than four distinct figure flavors on the enemy side, meaning you have to cut into the units allowed on your side. This explains the waterfall battle with nothing but knights, plus Gafgarion, Agrias, Delita, and Ovelia--five AI-controlled figures--where the player gets three optional units alongside Ramza, who's pretty much required. We do think about what the others are doing, but the designers also thought, "What if Ramza didn't have 'others' to begin with?" I've always suspected that Ovelia had to survive if it meant she had descendants, just like Orlan getting lucky with Val so Alazlam shows up. Oh, and that thing about knowing Ramza's history up and down? I've always contended that Alazlam's account, while often factual, is also still a biased account that often suspends Delita in a pale or even adversarial light compared to Ramza, who's practically idealized in comparison to the savagely selfish and paranoid common-blooded king. Take it like the feud between Don Dokken and George Lynch, or even Chris Holmes and Blackie Lawless. There is shit-flinging, but one naively extends an olive branch, another is vehement and unwilling to compromise, and yet another is mum and reticent about the matter, like it's not really worth talking about. Another way of looking at this is that Final Fantasy Tactics came out in the latter 1990s where conspiracy and true crime fiction that scrutinizes governments and institutions really took off (e.g. The X-Files), so the manuscript describing the game's events paints the medieval world with a postmodernist or relativist pen (that alone justifies the butchered in-house text translation). The church either didn't have that much of an issue or was nowhere near as horrible (after all, it was mostly just the corrupted Templars acting alone), but they may have suppressed the dissemination of the book despite it hitting the best-seller lists with the advent of the printing press. They couldn't stop their own people from reading it and it's ironically widespread if not well understood. Alazlam of the modern age probably just synthesized its contents with a postmodern lens. After all, academia accounts for 100% of the bumbling falsehoods we suffer through today.
Whoa what a long comment. This must have taken some time to type out and think about. Good stuff all around 👍 Thanks again for watching and commenting.
I think for point 9 about the name, I think the logic behind it is there's at least ONE person in the potential recruits pool, someone WOULD have the name. Similar logic is behind the Disgaea games. It's been touched upon in the game lore that in the millions of available recruitment demons, there's gonna be at least one that has the name you chose for it. Of course weird names are an kind of a grey oversight.
3:46 think of this logic? like in pokemon u only allow 6 and yet I seen one diglett trainer dude can have like 10-20 pokemon lol. but yea I guess in game logic wise they do so u dont be so overpower lol.
but the oddest one I think should be algus number 1 why? how some random noble gets to be a commander? I am going to guess he paid zalbag or something lol
The most illogical thing about FFT is Ramza staying a Squire throughout the entire game while everyone else has a unique class. Yeah, he has unique abilities, but him not being given a "Mercenary", "Vagrant", or "Heretic" class, has always been my number 1 issue with this game.
@@leviboom0932 I did the same thing with my mod. He is a Squire in Chapter one and evolves throughout the story to have a class that fits his position in the storyline.
There are actually a ton of these. How are there no eye witnesses of Orlandeau walking around and about, noses, how Ramza's entourage aren't being constantly tracked or hunted, using the stone to bring back March and Elmdore but not Tietra lol
Let's not think too hard or critically about this lol. Perhaps Tietra was dead for too long but who honestly knows the stones are mysterious
There no eye witnesses because Ramza and co. eliminates everybody they encounter. xD
...On a sad note, pretty sure Teta dead body work as a meat shield and was what saved Delita's life once fort Zeikden explode and burn to a crisp. He did say Teta saved him; so can only think that was the case.
@@Fugazity Teta TRIED to be a human shield. Delita probably got cooked, too. He's like fuckin' Auron from Final Fantasy X, itself taking tons of cues from FFT's story.
Tietra revived made me nervous as an oppurtunity.
Like she might come back as a vampire. 🦇 🩸
Chuck Norris irl blade grasp. And yeah good points makes me wonder why Argath would be in command of a military group. Never did stop to think about that
Who knows. possibly something behind the scenes? But yeah I'm still in question as well
I think Argath was granted the task due to his connections with Elmdore and his extremely zealous adherence to the noble supremacist way of thinking.
@DenamMorne They did, but now that Ramza had saved him, having Argath (a man close to Elmdore) with an extreme degree of loyalty towards the Beoulves would help Dycedarg organize future schemes. So he was just trying to bounce back from Gustav's failure, in my opinion.
Either that or they wanted someone to take the fall, should the operation go sideways.
I never thought about the merchant thing. NONE of them try to turn Ramza in?
I really wonder too lol. Maybe they were so intimidated or were being respectful. The world may never know!
they was too afraid of him, i mean, non of the people who had try to grab him, Zalmo included, could do anything against his power, less a merchant who only want to sell his products to a good clients with lots of money.
Considering Ramza's father was a legendary War Hero from what may have been one of the oldest, prestigious Noble families in All of Ivalice History both for his skill as a Knight and more importantly his integrity when it came to doing the right thing... it could be a combination of both out of respect for who his father was for those that recognized him as well as the fact that his mother was a courtesan.
In Barbeneth's eyes it didn't matter that you were lowborn or not so Ramza and Alma were still accepted into the family as Highborn.

I honestly believe that many of the nobility didn't even know they existed and thought Barbeneth only had two sons in Dycedarg and Zaalbag.
The only reason the church knew Ramza's identity was largely because he was constantly being a thorn in their side and straight up taking the tools for their greater plan in the Zodiac stones. He was becoming a significant problem they couldn't ignore and threatening to expose their plan to the world! Plus I'm pretty sure just like in real world history the church was largely responsible for keeping birth records of nobility so someone could have pieced it together sooner or later even if he was still going by his mother's maiden name.
None of them believed the charges. Also, if you're a heretic of the church, you get excommunicated. The church doesn't actively stalk you for your head. Actual executions over witchcraft were rare.

Ramza is not naming the mercenaries, when we enter the name its the Guildmaster remembering their name.
At fist he starts to remember the name but then doesn't he ask Ramza to confirm the name? lol
Another strange moment for me was Alma and Ajora being physically present at the same time. Did Alma just generate a new body out of the blue?
I'm not trying to think too hard but if I recall her MA stat and growth is really good. So I blame that
I believe Ramza at the end game collected all the stones as the one missing till that point was Leo and Virgo, so most likely Leo create a miracle for Ramza so he could recover his sister intact, you know they react to the strong emotions the holder of the stones has, so i guess this can explain this crazy outcome.

The occasional pitched cinematic battle may include more than four distinct figure flavors on the enemy side, meaning you have to cut into the units allowed on your side. This explains the waterfall battle with nothing but knights, plus Gafgarion, Agrias, Delita, and Ovelia--five AI-controlled figures--where the player gets three optional units alongside Ramza, who's pretty much required. We do think about what the others are doing, but the designers also thought, "What if Ramza didn't have 'others' to begin with?"
I've always suspected that Ovelia had to survive if it meant she had descendants, just like Orlan getting lucky with Val so Alazlam shows up. Oh, and that thing about knowing Ramza's history up and down? I've always contended that Alazlam's account, while often factual, is also still a biased account that often suspends Delita in a pale or even adversarial light compared to Ramza, who's practically idealized in comparison to the savagely selfish and paranoid common-blooded king. Take it like the feud between Don Dokken and George Lynch, or even Chris Holmes and Blackie Lawless. There is shit-flinging, but one naively extends an olive branch, another is vehement and unwilling to compromise, and yet another is mum and reticent about the matter, like it's not really worth talking about.
Another way of looking at this is that Final Fantasy Tactics came out in the latter 1990s where conspiracy and true crime fiction that scrutinizes governments and institutions really took off (e.g. The X-Files), so the manuscript describing the game's events paints the medieval world with a postmodernist or relativist pen (that alone justifies the butchered in-house text translation). The church either didn't have that much of an issue or was nowhere near as horrible (after all, it was mostly just the corrupted Templars acting alone), but they may have suppressed the dissemination of the book despite it hitting the best-seller lists with the advent of the printing press. They couldn't stop their own people from reading it and it's ironically widespread if not well understood. Alazlam of the modern age probably just synthesized its contents with a postmodern lens. After all, academia accounts for 100% of the bumbling falsehoods we suffer through today.
Whoa what a long comment. This must have taken some time to type out and think about.
Good stuff all around 👍
Thanks again for watching and commenting.
I just imagined monster eggs as giant omelets for breakfast.
Your approach is nicer.😂
I think for point 9 about the name, I think the logic behind it is there's at least ONE person in the potential recruits pool, someone WOULD have the name.
Similar logic is behind the Disgaea games. It's been touched upon in the game lore that in the millions of available recruitment demons, there's gonna be at least one that has the name you chose for it.
Of course weird names are an kind of a grey oversight.
I can see your point. Hopefully my male squire IMdumb has a great time in my roster!
3:46 think of this logic? like in pokemon u only allow 6 and yet I seen one diglett trainer dude can have like 10-20 pokemon lol. but yea I guess in game logic wise they do so u dont be so overpower lol.
lol lol yeah there is that to consider for sure
I appreciate this video a lot. It's unfortunate that there's a stigma against simply stating criticism or examining all aspects of the games we love.
Thank you and yeah I love this game a lot. But we sometimes gotta sit back, laugh and chill lol
when we met these characters in fft they were older than us, now we are older than them! haha
We getting old. #oldboyz
but the oddest one I think should be algus number 1 why? how some random noble gets to be a commander? I am going to guess he paid zalbag or something lol
yeah he isn't even from the area. In fact he is an enemy like Elmdore fights for Goltanna and Argath/Algus serves Elmdore. It is just weird
The most illogical thing about FFT is Ramza staying a Squire throughout the entire game while everyone else has a unique class. Yeah, he has unique abilities, but him not being given a "Mercenary", "Vagrant", or "Heretic" class, has always been my number 1 issue with this game.
Agreed, that's why I modded the chapter 2/3-4 Ramza classes in my games lol
There's a whole lot of illogical things lol. What you are saying is just about gameplay.
Character noses for me 😄
Another great point all great points here to be honest 👍
@@leviboom0932 I did the same thing with my mod. He is a Squire in Chapter one and evolves throughout the story to have a class that fits his position in the storyline.
Lol we need part 2
That would be another fun video lol
Ramza will always at his 16 no matter what lol
Not sure who is doctor or what kind of lotion/cream he is using but I'm looking for it!
Okay, hear me out. Argath's 'classist' attitude is most likely a veil for racism. I've thought about it for a while
It could be possibly FFT was heavily influenced by Tactics Ogre
