It was the first niggas on a chessboard game I ever played. The music is incredibly good. Good sound design. The class system is cool. Some of the demonic boss fights spooked me as a kid. It felt like a much more mature game than the other FF games at the time, even with the botched translation.
>>
>>738569860
That's because it is boring and glacially slow. While also being pure dogshit from a design standpoint. Unsurprisingly it had the same director as Vagrant Story, another game with abhorrent and utterly nonsensical mechanics.

TO came before it(and most of the team that made that game, made FFT), so it was hardly ahead of its time though, even if it was somewhat superior a production.
Even then, TO was also just another iteration of things already being done with the genre. FFT was just exactly in its own time, or even a little behind depending on what you think about its implimentation of things.

Depends by whom, in the public eye they are both heroes and Dycedarg died at the hands of a ruffian/terrorist.
If you mean in the wider sense of the story Dycedarg wanted to amass power for the sake of having power itself, while Delita wielded that power to make Ivalice a better place.

Delita had nothing but his legacy. He had no friends or loved ones by his side when he was king.
But the prologue implies he won't even have that anymore. Historians were uncovering more books that'll show the true history.
>>
>>738570479

TO was more focused on giving the player choices. With FFT you're there for the narrative ride.
>>
>>738573289
You mean the history where Delita is a just and noble king?
The fact that a literal chosen one was going around killing demons at the same time doesn't erase all the good Delita accomplished.

I guess that's the point of the overarching story.
Ramzan was true to himself and despite being branded a heretic by (((((them))))) he died surrounded by friends, while Delita despite being becoming king employed the same subterfuge as corrupt politician did and lived the rest of his life in fear of getting a dagger in his back.
>>
>>738573483
nta and the answer is no. there's nothing special about convallaria's mechanics and the story is barely passable. infact, convallaria's mechanics are somehow less interesting. they removed the ability to turn your characters for example

The Tweak mod basically fixes all problems I have with it.
Maybe some flavor stuff to make generics more important like you getting an extra amount of money/unique-items per battle based on the level of human units were on the bench, justified as "doing other deeds" so there's an incentive to train them too or add a few more in your party during map or story battles.

The secondary skillet gives you a passive based on the class.
For example a Black Mage who has Knight as subclass gets access to swords and armor, a Dragoon with a thief subclass gets +1 to speed and +5% phis/magic evasion, etc.

Yes, it's worth playing, however you'll need keys to progress the story. At first you'll have experience several narrative branches, your choices will determine the ending, then the story follows a linear path.

>>738574431
Too meta for this series, it would be good for a stand-alone game if they really balanced it somehow but that stuff tends to be broken by people and then you need do patches and then people complain you nerfed or buffed the shit they didn't want changed, etc. They would need to go all in on making a hardcore tactics game and try to aim for that particular demographic, while Tactics is already pushing it when FF has a large portion of the fanbase who do not want that much difficulty or learning shit. I think even the story is too complicated for most people.

He did write it like that in Japanese, a lot of lines are ambiguous or interpretable so you need the context of the story to guide you to what they are saying, in English there isn't exactly a way to do that without going for long spiels, WotL tried but caught flak by everyone for making the text a few letters longer than the l I t t l e m o n e y translation.

That's not what happened. That doesn't even work as a metaphor for what happened. Ramza's reticence only exists for what? Chapter 1? And that's because the narrative of what he was taught by his brothers and at the Academy began to shatter as he started to encounter actual people with actual problems. By the end of Chapter 2, he's already accepted that every major political installation is corrupt and he has no allies and by Chapter 4 he's made it his life's mission to grind them all to dirt. And that was before they kidnapped his sister. By the time he kills Dycedarg, he feels zero remorse at the death of his house because his house had become corrupt and therefore deserved to die. Because, surprise, despite his brothers shitting in him for being half commoner, Ramza upheld Barbaneth's qualities of knighthood more than either.

You know what's doubly funny? The game straight out tells you that the Crown was forced to pay out reparations for the war but that those reparations didn't come from the noble houses. The nobility just taxed the fuck out of the commoners. During a famine. And then called the commoners uppity rebels when they said "fuck this, we're not doing it." Like Weigraf said, the common people fought just as hard during the war but unlike the nobility, they didn't have a castle to go back to.
>>

>>738576449
NTA but I don't think Ramza had no remorse, up until the end he tried to talk his brothers back to the right path but was only partly successful with Zalbag.
Killing Dycedarg was a spur of the moment decision because he turned into a Lucavi before him and he knew he needed to be put down to not endanger any more lives.
It also has possibly my favourite quote from the game "we are the sum of our deeds not of our names" never once did Ramza go "nobility bad" if anything he was more pissed of because he thinks nobles should enjoy their position of nobility BECAUSE they are of noble heart and a paragon to people and for people to rally behind.

To tell Zalbaag that their lord brother and Duke Larg were in collusion to force war at the hands of some unknown party. An indictment Zalbaag disowns him for

>Ramza: I was there, Zalbaag, and I know all that followed. Princess Ovelia was ultimately to be slain, but someone intervened. She lives, and is now in Goltanna's care. Had the assassination succeeded, the Crown would surely have named Duke Goltanna a traitor and rallied its banners against him.

>Zalbaag: And who would go to such lengths?

>Ramza: (sighs) The one responsible is... Our lord brother, Dycedarg.

>Zalbaag: Do you stand here accusing our brother of having some hand in this business with the princess?

>Zalbaag: Enough! Who have you become, that you do not trust your own brother? Your own flesh and blood!?

>Ramza: Zalbaag! You speak of trust, yet am I not your brother too? Why will you not trust me?

It's not. Your reply missed the point of optimization being a chore. There was never an argument about optimization being needed or the benefits being negligible.
>>
>>738577485
Fair but also Zalbaag is basically what Ramza was in Chapter 1. He believes fully in what the Beoulve name stands for. The only reason he started to question Dycedarg was because he overheard his conversation with the Knights Templar where Dycedarg basically admits to poisoning their father and he launches his own investigation. Which, to Zalbaag's credit, he's not so brainwashed as to ignore evidence of corruption when he sees it but it was only by luck that he overheard that conversation. He did not take Ramza at his word even though Ramza believes in what he's doing so much that he willingly threw away his prestigious name and made himself the most hated man in the country. Which, yet again to Zalbaag's credit it, he did at least invite him in after he was branded a heretic even though he's a devout of Glabados
