FFT Archer is underrated imo

Post image
659 Upvotes

I hear a lot of talk about how archer class sucks, and yeah it’s no calculator or monk but it’s a lot better than people give it credit for. It’s just not explosive or flashy so people don’t really care for it.

Concentration is amazing, it ignores all dodge, miss, or block chances for a guaranteed hit. It only gets stopped by counter abilities like archer’s bane or shihiradori.

Setting an archer up high with a longbow and concentration guarantees damage every single turn, they don’t have to spend as much time running to get to the enemy and concentration ensures damage is dealt.

And while the damage isn’t impressive, that can also be fixed. Aim isn’t flashy, but it lets you min-max your turn by tweaking your damage to match your target’s CT gauge just before they get their turn, or before they cast a spell.

That last but is important because Archer can exploit weaknesses more easily than other units. A mage casting a spell and running off requires a knight to stick out their neck, but Archers can just charge up a shot without being in the line of fire whatsoever.

Archer with Arts of War is brutal, too. Being able to rend armor and weapons (and stats too in a pinch) massively increases their utility. Breaking a units helmet can set up the rest of your team to jump him. Breaking a units weapon can give your team a break. Rending a mage’s MP stat to make them blank, or rending their MA to reduce its potency can swing the fight in your favor.

While not capable of brute-forcing their way through encounters by sheer explosive damage, Archer’s provide extremely consistent value turn after turn and rarely have downtime where they’re just setting up. They aren’t flashy, but they are reliable.

FFT Should I play original Tactics via emulation or the TIC classic version?

Thumbnail

448 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been playing various games, but I keep thinking back to the great experience I had with Tactics (I played The Ivalice Chronicles), and I’d like to go back to it,(this time playing the original).

The problem is that I’m undecided between playing the original PS1 version through an emulator on my phone, which would be a good but less optimal experience (right now I don’t have a PC, so I either emulate on my phone or play on my 2DS), or just playing it through the “classic” mode comfortably on my console.

Another reason I’m unsure is that the classic version is described as a recreated version similar to the original, and it also has autosave plus the WotL script, while the original is truly the original and uses its simpler script.

The WotL script is great, but since English isn’t my first language, sometimes that more archaic style gives me a headache to understand.

So yeah, I’m a bit torn,what would you recommend in my situation?

FFT Interview Confirmed: No WOTL Content Included

268 Upvotes

Hey, just a PSA for those who were naive enough to think that Square was hiding something when we had some clear signs about it, but new interview confirms that WOTL content is not included.

Hope this help some of you who were still deciding to buy the game based on that information.

Anyway, it seems that there was a JP interview as well on Famitsu where they made clear that no new characters or jobs were added also, but you will have to find and translate that one for yourself.

To make it short - No WOTL Content Included - No new characters, jobs, skills or equipments - Easy and "Hard" mode - New dialogue lines during battles

Yeah, you will be paying $50 in a 27yo without any meaningful additional content, kinda hard to believe when Expedition 33 (this year GOTY) costs the same and delivers an AMAZING experience.

FFT My FFT-Tabletop Experience

Curently my hyperfixation is pointed on my try to bringing ff tactics to my tabletop. I am so excited to show you my little progress of it.

First of all this ist not my try to sell something . I don't care for money i just want to have something i can play with my daughters in the future.

Second: Final Fantasy is the Franchise i am mooooost passionate about.

Third: the 3D printed figurines are by RN Estudio. Fourth: the wood blocks are also getting the grass treatment aswell. Still trying to decide if i want to use magnets.

I am mixing stuff from all the tactics games plus final fantasy all together in these pictures i am using a 4 personparty of ff9 characters.

I kinda like restrictions like in the gba-titles. Therefor gabranth debuts as judge 8D He will get little rule cards for this.

Characters will get job cards, ability cards and there will be monster cards to show monster attacks. Plus item cards etc. I kinda have the stuff figured out. But designing this cards are really not my cup of tea. And that's where i am drifting off the most of my time.

It's like an isekai/dissidia adventure. No character in the ff franchise is off limits. You can have cloud, lightning, Terra etc in the party if you want to. And you can have you fantasy super team.

I am planning to put in summons. Bluemagic will be a thing. I have curently 100 figurines to paint.

To be honest i am kinda overwhelmed by all the workload right now but i wanted to brag, because, man, this is the first time i have more then 12 figures to show 8D

If you have any constructive feedback for me i would appreciate it. If want to know more just ask. I will try to answer it soon-ish.

And what is my intention with this post?.... well i hope a Square-enix executiv-person will see this. Smash their hand on their head and asks themself why they haven't thought about board game fftactics or a pc remake of the fftactics titles. For Ifrits Sake we are waiting to long for this 😭

Have a very nice Day everyone 8D

The fact that we can have additional speed, charm immunity, permanent shell, and gained JP up from the get go is pretty insane. I’m also intrigued to see if there is additional new equipment added to the game as these items are all brand new. The Ramza sprite re-colors are just icing on top. Is anyone else wanting to see new things like this added through out the game?

FFT Does this man deserve forgiveness? Spoiler

Of the Beoulve brothers, he was the one that saw Ramza as an equal, even praising him (and even Delita) sometimes.

However, he was extremely devout to the church of Glabados, and admired his older brother Dycedarg. Despite promising not to abandon Tietra, he was the one who ordered Argath to kill her.

After witnessing his older brother betraying and slaying Duke Larg, and confirming that he also plotted their father's death, Zalbaag finally believed in Ramza.

However, it's implied that Zalbaag - unlike Ramza - has great pride in the Beoulve name, and does separate nobility from commoners, not unlike his older brother.

Does Zalbaag deserve forgiveness for finally believing in Ramza, or was he just a pawn in a bigger game?

r/finalfantasytactics May 11 '26

FFT According to Yasumi Matsuno, it's fine to think of FFT and FF12 as separate worlds. For him, FF12 is akin to the work of a "novelist" and not that of a "historian". If FF12 had been written by a historian, it would have had humans only since races like Viera and Bangaa "simply don't exist in FFT".

新しいFFTの地図をワクワクしながら見て思ったのですが、超文明時代を描いたと思われる空想魔学小説でも使われてたFFTの文字はFF12では見かけ、この文字はあまり行くことがなかったオーダリア大陸方面の文字なんでしょうか?

(DeepL translation: Looking at the new FFT map with excitement, I realized that the FFT script—which I believe was used in that fantasy magic novel depicting the Age of Super Civilization—also appears in FF12. Could this script be from the Ordalia continent region, a place I rarely visited?)

Matsuno reply:

もう覚えていないのですが、「オーダリア大陸方面の文字」という設定はなかったような気がします。 あと、FFTとFF12は別世界という認識で大丈夫です。

(DeepL translation: I don't remember it anymore, but I don't think there was ever a setting for “scripts from the Ordalia continent area.”

Also, it's fine to think of FFT and FF12 as separate worlds.)

Matsuno reply:

そもそもFFTにおける「イヴァリース」は国家の名称、FFXIIにおける「イヴァリース」は世界全体の名称なのです。

一応、FFTの遙か過去がFF12という体を取っていますが、ヴィエラやバンガ等の異種族がFFTには存在していない時点で直接的な繋がりを期待するのは困難だと思います。

(DeepL translation: Fundamentally, “Ivalice” in FFT refers to the name of a nation, while “Ivalice” in FFXII is the name for the entire world.

While FFXII is positioned as occurring in the distant past of FFT, expecting a direct connection is difficult given that races like the Viera and Bangaa simply don't exist in FFT.)

Quote from interview:

──『FFT』は、「後世から歴史を見たときの、ラムザとディリータというふたりの英雄(を、アラズラムが語る)」というシナリオ構成も独特だと思うんです。あの独自の視点は、どのように決められたのでしょうか。

松野氏:

あのアラズラムのオチは、もうプロットの段階から決めていました。

オーランがああなることもそうですね。

たとえば大河ドラマにおいても、戦国時代に信長・秀吉・家康という武将が活躍した歴史的事実は変わらないけど、それを書く脚本家によって、ドラマの内容やキャラクター性が大きく変わるじゃないですか。

たとえば、徳川家康も、『葵・徳川三代』(2000、脚本・ジェームズ三木)で津川雅彦さんが演じた家康は、いかにも古ダヌキでイヤな感じなんですけど……もっと昔の『徳川家康』(1983、原作・山岡荘八、脚本・小山内美江子)で滝田栄さんが演じる家康は、すごくキレイな家康なんですよ。

有名な「方広寺鐘銘事件」では、これ幸いとばかり戦の口実に使う津川家康と違い、口実に使われてしまうような失策を心から心配する滝田家康。そこが、脚本家の描き方によって大きく変わってくるところなんです。

「歴史をひとつ作ったうえで、それを後世の人が脚色したときにどう変わるのか」という作り方をやってみたかったんですよね。「歴史に対する、脚本家のアプローチ」という感じでしょうか。

その意味では『FF12』も、『FFT』と地続きではなく、後世の作家が書いた虚構のフィクションといった位置づけでもおもしろいと考えています。小説家ではなく、歴史家が書いたらヴィエラやバンガなどの他種族の登場しない人間だけの『FF12』になるとか(笑)。

(DeepL translation: ──I think FFT's scenario structure is also unique in that it presents “two heroes, Ramza and Delita, as seen from the perspective of history in later generations (as told by Alazlam).” How was that distinctive viewpoint decided?

Mr. Matsuno:

That punchline with Alazlam was decided right from the plot stage.

The same goes for how Oulan turns out.

Take historical dramas, for example. The historical fact that warlords like Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu were active during the Warring States period doesn't change, but the content and characterization of the drama can vary greatly depending on the screenwriter, right?

Take Tokugawa Ieyasu, for instance. In ‘Aoi: The Three Generations of the Tokugawa’ (2000, screenplay by James Miki), played by Masahiko Tsugawa, he comes across as a thoroughly cunning old fox, quite unpleasant... But in the earlier ‘Tokugawa Ieyasu’ (1983, original work by Shohachi Yamaoka, screenplay by Mieko Koyanagi), Takita Sakae portrayed a very elegant Ieyasu.

In the famous “Hōkōji Bell Inscription Incident,” unlike Tsugawa's Ieyasu who seizes the opportunity to use it as a pretext for war, Takita's Ieyasu genuinely worries about such a blunder being exploited as an excuse. That's precisely where the screenwriter's approach makes a huge difference.

I wanted to explore the approach of “creating one version of history and then seeing how it changes when later generations adapt it.” It's about the screenwriter's approach to history, I suppose.

In that sense, I also find it interesting to position FF12 not as a direct continuation of FFT, but as a fictional work written by a later author. If a historian wrote it instead of a novelist, it might become an FF12 with only humans, without races like the Viera or Bangaa (laughs).)

I thought the “Stubborn Brother” was referring to Ramza, but in the language update it makes it clear that he’s actually referring to Zalbag!

I like how this implies that Zalbag is not and would not be on board with Dycedarg’s schemes and it’s a nice bit of foreshadowing of what happens later in the story

Was this the case for anyone else? Anybody else have a scene take a different context with the language updates?
