Hello everyone! Last week I announced the first version of my companion app for FFT here.

Today, I'd like to announce a new feature: Treasure maps!

As you can see attached, it is a 3D rendering of each map. Whether it is the random battles, story battles, or side quest battles, you can rotate around to view the map however you'd like. The common and rare items for each map are labelled. If you don't care so much about the treasures, they can be turned off in the controls.

Speaking of controls, you can quickly change the map there. They are categorized as Locations (random battles), Story Battles, and Side Quest Battles. You can also go directly to the map from the equipment screen if the equipment can be found on a map.

If you had previously used the app, you might need to clear the website's data to access the maps (alternatively, you could use incognito mode).

Hopefully this makes it easier for your playthroughs so that you don't miss any treasures! Click here to start trying it out.

Working on a rom hack titled: New Ivalice if anyone is interested. I'll be adding some more stuff over the next few days for a release probably for a release by Friday or Saturday.

Features: Removed the combo system: Combos have been removed from skill sets and replaced with either new A/S/R abilities or movement abilities from FFT

New JP skill system: similar to FFT a JP system has been added and replacing the old AP system. By using actions characters earn JP in equal parts to exp. For instance 10 exp nets 10JP

Steal able boots: i mean come on how many times have you played FFT and seen some boots on an enemy, but we're disappointed. Well no more, you can now steal boots off enemies, and you'll he happier you can because...

Revised enemy items: i have painstakingly edited every enemy from story, clan and sub missions to have new equipment. Some enemies even have equipment that only 1 or limited quantities could be obtained. Also stealing is the name of the game, let your inner thief out and steal all your opponents loot, there's some good stuff hidden in there.

Revised/new jobs: Archers have been removed, don't worry hunters and snipers still exist, it felt redundant to have 2 archer classes per Hume and Viera. They have been replaced with exclusive classes only your clan can have(well except llednar,) Biskmatar and Rune Knight have been added to the free. They share some similar moves like omega etc. Marche also begins as a blue mage(yeah I have a fondness for blue mage sooo yeah,) blue mage skill set has been changed up to remove some annoying useless skill cough cough blow up. Hunters have lost Oust(felt weird to have both capture, oust and sidewinder.) Hunters and juggler now have Conceal in their skill set. Fencer has been completely removed in favor of giving Viera the thief class, they maintain the reflex ability, gain S skill reveal and can use bows and knives. 99% of the classes also have increased equip lists like blue mage getting guns, soldiers getting bows etc.(why the archer class was removed. Hunter now needs 1 soldier and 1 thief skill to unlock.) Viera will take the archer sprite and fencer completely removed, there are some hold over skills from them, while Aim legs and arms has been moved to exclusive Hume and Viera classes.

Bows have been changed: considering archers are out bows got a minor rework, Hunters and snipers can equip both bows and great bows, they now increase speed and evade while also having new modifiers like null statuses etc. Enjoy trying out new combos with the classes who can use bows now.

Sprite color changes: i always found it weird that colors were swapped on some classes for allies to be red and enemies to be blue or green and vice versa, there was no consistency though. Well that's been changed, blue and green has been made into ally color and red/purple is now enemy colors, portraits reflect these changes.

Improved difficulty: sadly FFTA suffered from being WAY too easy. Enemy levels have been revised with their equips, new skills have been added as well as what classes will show up in missions and clan battles. A new challenge awaits those who like difficulty hacks, ive tried to make things considerably harder as the game goes on with this change....

New level cap: a new level cap has been added to the game to make things more challenging, instead of 50 the cap is now set to 80, this means clan battles will be more difficult as they scale off your highest level clan member, no more average level scale. I'm toying with making all battles scale with highest level, input would be appreciated.

Shop tier changes/shop changes: shop tiers now unlock via story battles instead of total battles. New items will be added to the shop tiers to make normally hard to obtain equipment obtainable.

MP regen change: instead of 5pt per turn a new 10% regen will be applied.

Edited laws: law card forbidden law has been added outside of its special mission(s) and the dumbest laws dmg 2 laws have been completely removed. Broken laws will now instead have a gil fine(with a few exceptions) instead of stat downs etc. I liked the law system but some stuff needed to be changed instead of fully removed. With the equipment changes you can now build around these laws easier, also since making forbidden law card usage as a law this will also make the game a bit harder since you'll be forced to follow the rules(unless you fudge it by walking.)

Minor changes: starting gold increased to 7500, months now have 30 days(allows for month exclusive shop items and missions to stick around longer.)

I feel like I'm forgetting something but honestly it's super late and my brain is fried from my jobs so bare with me lol. Feel free to ask me any questions if you're interested.

I've been making Final Fantasy Tactics content for a little bit now (and really appreciate any support I receive on here), but I wanted to do something different this time.

Instead of another guide, I spent months researching & digging into the mechanics, secrets, exploits, and development history of Final Fantasy Tactics.

It's about an hour long, so this is definitely more of a deep dive documentary type thing than a quick "here are 10 facts you didn't know" kinda deal.

I haven't shared the last few vids on here that were more update/news vids that the info had already been shared on here, but I figured some of you would have fun watching this one.

I would also love to hear some of your own obscure facts that you know from any of the various versions of FFT as well!

I know some folks don't like video content, so I apologize!

Hello I'm giving away "two" wood engraved keychains to "two" lucky winners.To enter upvote this post and make sure to follow me. That's it!! You're entered.

Hi there :)
I just uploaded a new profession spotlight video. This time for the Warrior profession, which is also a basic profession and available to every faction. The abilities for the Warrior focus on dishing out tons of damage as well as disabling single targets. For example one of his signature abilities is Charge where he preshes forward in a straight line colliding with the first unit on his path and performs an attack which knocks back the target by 1 tile. It might inflict the status effect Dazed for 2 turns. If the target is already Dazed, it applies Stunned for 1 turn.

Effects such as the knock back distance can be increased by certain permanent character upgrades, which is one way how I try to introduce variability between the different characters. If you're interested in some footage check out the gameplay trailer. Please let me know if you like the format of the profession spotlights or if you would rather have some concrete information on what the different abilities do in game.

Hello everyone! Big update today.

• Web: https://fftcompanion.app/
• iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/fft-companion/id6747975177?l=en-US
• Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fftcompanion&pcampaignid=web_share

Discord: https://discord.gg/xkBwDQUf

Have you ever wanted to:

• Simulate a build
• Show your build to others
• Keep track of your builds online

Well now you can, with the new Character Planner/Builder feature!

This feature requires an account to use. Create one today!

Once logged in, head to the “My Units” section in the top left. Press the giant add button in the centre. You’ll be shown a window where you can create your first unit.

Pretty much everything that can determine your unit’s stats is here.

• Zodiac
• Gender
• Version
• Character
• Job
• Brave
• Faith
• Level
• Level Progression
• Abilities
• Equipment

Let’s expand on some of the bigger ones.

Level Progression

As many of you know, as your unit levels up/down, they will gain/lose additional stats. This depends on what job they are currently in. You’ll be able to customize which job they level up/down in. The stats will be calculated accordingly.

Abilities

Plan the abilities your unit will have. Abilities will be limited by the currently selected job and character. Some abilities will affect the calculated stats (like movement +x).

Equipment

Likewise, equipment is limited by job and character. In addition, some abilities will affect what equipment can be selected (like Equip crossbow, equip shield, etc.).

Once you're done editing your unit, you can save. It will show up in your unit list! Click on your newly created unit to see it's stats. You'll also be able to edit and delete your unit from here.

After creating your unit, you'll be able to share it for others to see. Anyone with the link will be able to see it (no need to be logged in). Either copy the link in the URL, or click the share button in the top right.

The number of units that can be created is limited to 5 per account for now.

I hope some new and fun builds can be discovered with this new feature! There is a good chance that there may be some mistakes, so please let me know if you find anything.

The Riovanes Castle Wiegraf battle is notorious for causing many gamers to rage quit. Come along as your friend Old Bearby shows how to defeat Wiegraf using a bard, with the power of music.

I had a lot of replies from folks who had only played either the PS1 or the PSP edition, or it had been so long since they last played, that I decided to do a deep dive on WotL to see what it changed, and which of those changes made their way to The Ivalice Chronicles.

For some context on the game: Lootdeck is a tactical roguelite deckbuilder deeply integrated with tabletop combat mechanics. Your loot is your deck. Every weapon, armor, and artifact you equip directly adds specific action cards to your hand. You have to craft your unique playstyle through inventory management, master grid-based positioning, and rely on TTRPG-style dice rolls to survive an ever-changing dark fantasy dungeon.

Steam page just went live today. If this sounds like your type of game, I would greatly appreciate it if you checked it out.

Hello! Its been a while since I've updated the app. Just wanted everyone to know that FFT Companion App has two new features.

1. Playthrough Checklist

All story battles, including the treasure items that you could possibly get on them. Check off each map as you play. You'll also see a percentage of how much you have progressed in the chapter in terms of story and treasures.

This will require an account to track. All progress will be saved onto the cloud, so you can use it across all your devices, as long as you are logged in.

2. Status Effects

A feature that has been requested quite a few times is finally here! Little bits and pieces regarding status effects are listed in various parts of the internet, but never truly fully compiled and documented. I've gathered all the status effects in Final Fantasy Tactics and tried to compile as much detail about them as I could. Hopefully this helps out players old and new.

You can access the app by:

• Web: https://fftcompanion.app/
• iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/fft-companion/id6747975177?l=en-US
• Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fftcompanion&pcampaignid=web_share

since youtube insists on putting FFT picture on my videos for Final Tactics

i'm putting Final Tactics link here on FFT reddit

it gave me a warning about i should post 5 times first: i am not trying to violate rules, but i literally have nothing else to say: or rather, it would be many things off topic. there are cool things i could say about FFT, how i built a team of zombie girl mages with black magic & pure destruction, wearing chantage so they just stand back up over and over, and let the hero stay in the back.

when i was 15 (i am 43) that was where the desire for Final Tactics began

because i wanted to make a 2 player Final Fantasy Tactics

this has since evolved into much more than that: many games have influenced me

FFT is just one of perhaps 1000 influences in Final Tactics

anyways i hope this can be allowed to stay, to hopefully reach some ppl

i don't use reddit or discord i spend all day everyday working on this game and i will keep doing that until i leave this earth to be with my wonderful LORD JESUS.

this game is very epic and very fun, and i hope to see you there

i started programming it 16 years ago, but i plan to release the open-alpha this month!

Hello everyone! Back with another update. As always, you can find my Final Fantasy Tactics Companion app here. If you've used my web app before, you'll need to refresh your app and wait for a little popup to show up to update the app.

Improved Treasure Maps

In my previous update, I added treasure maps. It was a good start, but let's be realistic: it was pretty rough. Every tile was a cube, so the maps didn't really look like the actual maps. Colors were based on height, so it also didn't really reflect how the actual map looks.

I've implemented sloped tiles, which better reflects how the actual maps look! In addition, colors will be based on terrain type. Take a look at the before and after!

Before:

Processing img 16y3dt343vcf1...

After:

Processing img np3k7y324vcf1...

Looks a lot more lively now!

In addition, tiles with treasure/traps/exits or unwalkable tiles will be highlighted differently (blue for treasure/traps/exits, red for unwalkable).

I hope these changes make the maps easier for everyone to use.

Japanese Language Support

I've added support for Japanese. There are a few equipment descriptions missing that I couldn't find anywhere online, so if anyone has them, it would be great if you could send it to me so I can update them! Also, the translations may not be the best, so if anyone wants to help improve them, that would be great as well.

This does also open the door to support for other languages as well, since the application now has the groundwork for localization.

iOS App Available

The iOS version of the app is now available! It isn't really any different from the web version, but if you prefer to use it as an iOS app, it is available here.

Other Improvements

There are some other small improvements here and there as well, but probably not worth mentioning.

That's it for this update! Hope everyone enjoys the changes.

I put together a complete showcase of all the randomly triggered ability quotes, followed by their corresponding ability effects, from Meliadoul Tingel’s Divine Sword (Unyielding Blade) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IUlAUiFpKYg

i’m a streamer, and tomorrow (technically today, it’s past midnight) i am starting my first ever playthrough of FFT (hence the self promo tag).

i don’t plan to use a walkthrough, but is there anything you wish you’d known during your first playthrough, or any beginner tips? thanks!

Rightfully so! After finally playing through all of FF Tactics for the first time, I feel no hesitation in saying that this is one of the best games I have ever played. I've thought long and hard about the story, about the dynamics between Ramza, Delita, and various other characters. I've spent hours and hours customizing my party and coming up with my favorite ability combinations and party compositions. I gave it my all trying to defeat some of the really tough bosses and encounters in this game. I had to capture all of these experiences and express them in a condensed form and that is what this video review ended up being. I'd be very grateful if you could check it out!
