I have seen that Final Fantasy Tactics is really liked. I gave a look at the recently released version present on Steam, but there's people suggesting the War of The Lions one. What's the differences? There's a version playable on Duckstation that is worthy the try?
>>3992949The remake updates the original but it lacks all the added content included on the war of the lions version (which includes not just the fanservice but extra jobs). In short the remake is just a demake as usual.
Play the PSX original. Every other version has varying amounts of stupid shit that makes it worse.
>>3992962>>3992949Pc has hackticks, no further questions allowed.
>>3992964So the original game is more than suffice to have fun. Ok. I will give it a try. Thanks.
>>3992964I disagree. War of the lions has the Dark Knight job which is essential for the optimal experience. If Delita masquerades as the white knight to disguise his nefarious ends it´s only appropriate for Ramsa to shoulder the mark of the dark knight to prove his resolve to oppose him.
>>3992962>remake is based off the good version instead of the soulless one
>>3992983Congratulations, you failed your father, your family, and learned nothing.
>>3992964Also watch HCBAILY'S Let's play....He really smoothes out the edges.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1FF66EEF6DB7BDB6Because the game is going to give you too many units in the beginning.You only need.>two female mage units>one male meelee unit Also like does, sticking to one class is stupid, take what you need and move on. Many classes actually suck in this game like archer.
>>3992949The original is perfectly adequate if you choose to emulate that. The remake adds some QoL features like running from battles and instant retries but you can get shit like that with hacks.The other point is the translation/script of the game between versions but both have points in their favor so whatever.
>>3993274My idea was to emulate through Duckstation, but choose a FFT version that let me apply a translation patch, in order to have it translated in my language. I was just worried about the version of the game, for I wouldn't lose something important, choosing the wrong version. I usually don't run away from battles, so maybe I don't need it, I don't know...
>>3993318>I was just worried about the version of the game, for I wouldn't lose something important, choosing the wrong version. I usually don't run away from battles, so maybe I don't need it, I don't know...Play the original. The other versions are stupid.
>>3993318Well if you find a language patch just go for it. The differences between versions don't alter the core of the game for a new player.
>>3993339>The differences between versions don't alter the core of the game for a new player.if it doesn’t have “tough. Blame yourself, or God.” and “l i t t l e m o n e y” you’re simply missing the iconic FFT experience. This is non-negotiable I’m afraid.
>>3993318> I usually don't run away from battlesrandom encounters in FFT are time-consuming and often unchallenging, so I hope you're committed.
>>3992949Any of the upcoming trpg any good?
>>3993764>Any of the upcoming trpg any good?No. I'm sorry, but it's over.
>>3992983You can just use Lions War mod for the PSX version.
>>3993764NopeHave to dig deep through indies to find borderline gems
>>3993274>The remake adds some QoL features like running from battlesThis is not a "QoL" feature, it's a change to the rules of the game.
>>3993841What's that, Joe? What's over? Over.>>3996019Crpg? All I can find are some obscure arpg made in Korea or China and indies that are like 5 years late.>dig deep for ok trpgStruggle is real
>>3996202Eh sure. In defense of the opposing argument you could easily save/reload to avoid them as well.
>>3993167I'd say HCBaily gives good advice on the starting characters, but you don't have to be THAT autistic about it. I often just aim to get a female caster with 70+ faith and not bad compatibility with Ramza. Everyone else should have at least 68+ faith. If you really want to optimize your chances of stealing from key bosses, definitely follow the zodiac advice but personally I've never bothered to go that far and I've managed to steal every stealable item at one point or another (even Elmdor's gear).>Also like does, sticking to one class is stupid, take what you need and move on.Yep, not doing this is weirdly common. Anyway my favorite OP early game offensive powerhouse is> take what you need and move on. Great early game female glass cannon build:Wizard -> Bolt/Bolt2 -> MagicAttackUpTime Mage -> Summoner -> Moogle, RamuhSwitch back to Wizard, equip a Thunder Staff and MagicAttackUp and you can one-shot entire groups of enemies with Ramuh (with reasonable charge time and MP cost). I say early game but really, it never stops being a powerful setup.
>>3992949Play the original. Then when you get the hankering to play it again, play the War of the Lions. Then when you feel like returning to it again, play the Remaster.
>>3992976I've been playing through it at work since I never finished it on my own as a kid.Its very gud, lots of kino moments. Though I did here there's some JP only VN scenes from the PSX version that did get ported to the ivalice chronicles.
>>3993167Archer and mechanik are actually really neat ranged options when not having to deal with cast times. With enough speed you can even do one turn charge attacks.
>>3993341>Animals have no God!K i n o
Also I highly recommend going into the options and setting "Navigation message" to OFF. It's the pointless message box that pops up when you start or end your turn.
>>3998054>With enough speed you can even do one turn charge attacks.Eh?
>>3992949>download ps1 version>"the hero used to be an anarchist. the church claims that he was a blasphemer, the root of all evil. but is this the tru-"aaan insta-dropped. bored out of my mind with this constant shit.
>>4003765>anon raging and sperging about a near 40 year old gameKek and ngmi. Is this a psychological issue that you project your contrarian views onto everything you come across?
>>3997906Indeed, I also had dual wield on every physical unit I had available and buffed everyone's brave with Orator (also decreased it for the time being, during the deep dungeon so I could pick up the items.I haven't watched the let's play in years, but Monk is a godsend early on. >Chakra/Revive, who needs items anymore?>BrawlerCombine that with dual wield, and you got deadly combo.
>>3992949ps hack that adds all psp content is the only appropriate answer.
>>4003787Does it add undead Algus?
>>3998054>archer and mechanikNah, b....By the time you have the speed, you could have put that into a calculator. Archers really do suck bro.
while i'm here and thinking about it, is there any mod that allows you to pick fights in town? there should be a mod that allows you to pick fights in town.
>>4004668none sadly.FFT hacking scene is just not as vast as Fire Emblem and Pokemon, despite the potential it has
>>4004675Tactics ogre has much more potential and barely any hacks
>>4004704PSP version is a nightmare to hack outside of manipulating tables and from what I have seen Reborn did away with mechanics like random encounters so who knows if some maps are even there anymore. The scene just doesn't have very advanced tools.
>>3992949>but there's people suggesting the War of The Lions oneThose people are drooling retards. For the remake they basically paid some jeets to take the original game and run all the dialogue through a "hollywood shakespeare" filter. By far some of the worst shit you'll ever read.
>>4004704TO already has lots of content already, I don't see how it can be expanded anymoreFFT is very focused on its plot while the world is pretty much neglected, there is barely any sidestories there
>>4004668>>4004675It's a Tactics RPG not a gay blowjob similator. Social roleplaying elements are deliberately minimal.
>>4004721Fft has plenty of story mods, to has none. Imagine a jew game in the to engine. Seeing the new pixel ff, I have 0 faith in decent se trpg.
>>3993167Just use 3 female black mages with black mage ramza and never grind at all. Their mutual spillover JP lets you buy MAttack Up and the good spells really fast even if you're beating every stage as fast as possible. Speeds only get high enough to make casting time a crippling problem in the last chapter when you can either phase them all out for uniques or recruited generics or make them magic gunners.
>>4004734You lack imagination, and I don't think "social" is the right word.
>>4004734>gay blowjob>social roleplayingHow did you even think of that, no correlation at all to wanting more content
>>4004747>>4004770Because there's nothing* tactically interesting about random drunkard opponents or a barroom battlefield. So the only reason to want something like that is for "roleplay" reasons. *maybe one bar encounter could have been interesting at some point for an extra cramped setting, populated with opponents suitable for a story battle. IIRC There's a debug mode in FFT you can unlock with a memory editor, and access a variety of maps not normally available to have combat on if you want to experience playing on a tiny map
>>3992949>what version to play>>>/vr/12629852not the GBA one
>>4004820Fft pc > fft remakeThe hacks are just fun and you can get the remake content on pc for free, too.
>>4004714Random encounters could be easily implementedMaps might be in the source. I doubt that making new maps is problematic. Haven't played the story mods for fft, they seem to be good.A brand new campaign might be just the thing. Ideally with new gear and fixed bugs like offhand.
>>4004745Monk ninja was my first build as teen and i like it best still. Paladin ninja in ffta is fun, too. 1hk everything that moves.>beware of red cards
>>4005286>I doubt that making new maps is problematicWhy? There is no easy tool and haven't seen anyone script something like a new event in TO.Good catch about the slew of Reborn's weird bugs. There should be like an unofficial patch at this point.
>>4005295Isn't there a patch on nexus for the major bugs?>The game uses a highly restrictive, encrypted engine that prevents the creation or importation of new 3D terrain geometries, grid structures, or environmental assetsOh, OK. They likely wanted to prevent hacks, these hacks.
>>4005298>Isn't there a patch on nexus for the major bugs?Maybe. I never bothered to even finish Reborn desu. I just went back to LUCT to mess around with the data tables.
>>4005309Archers are more fun in luct. They are deadly in real life, too.
>>4004808well you said it yourself in the spoiler text. people want novelty.
>>4005311It's longbows that are stupid powerful in Luct, not archers necessarily. You can simply nerf their damage a bit. Also been messing around doing a playthrough with no finisher attacks on the weapons. I think I enjoy it more this way.
>>4005314Finishers speed the fight up. No need to drag it imo. Good for you that you have more fun that way.
>>4005317I mean the units built for damage still one or two hit enemies. I just don't need my rogue to be able to nuke an area after a few turns with a crossbow. I wonder if raising the global jump stat by 1 will make the fights a bit faster. I find that the part that drags out the most often is getting to meet the enemies if the terrain is not completely flat. A lot of units clump together and I suspect this wouldn't happen if casters could get over some tiny ledge and melee units climb a bit better.
>>4005322>global jump stat by 1 will make the fights a bit faster.Self explanatory. Are there any good trpg coming up? Had some expectations for tactics Returners, that seems to be a lost cause.
