  • najo kuckt auf mich bin n hamster

  • Time Mages are so cute :)

  • where's Orator Job?

  • @iqbalralan and calculator and meditator

  • Ahh, school being cancelled due to snow and myself sitting in front of my tv watching this cutscene eating a bowl of cereal. Great memories. :')

  • if you feel good and u remember your best times with this perfect tactical game gimme a thumbs up

    notice: the excitement to play it from the start every time is endless

  • the best game of ps1

  • I actually like the PSP version, though I miss letting the title screen sit and watching the intros like I used to on the PSX.

  • @TheFinalActongaia Agreed.

  • One of the most underrated games of all time! I spent more hours on this game than any other FF game!

  • How can I change jobs? I'm playing this game on an Iphone :p

  • I loved the time mage. Too bad the stop spell rarely worked.

  • Come for the music, stay for the (poorly translated yet still awesome) plot. Can't speak for PSP version... only original PSX.

  • @gaspump The plot hasn't changed other than a few new npc additions and cutscenese. They did redo the translations and I've only seen one issue so far and I'm in chapter IV now. The game is a lot harder, however, as the handicap that they gave the american psx version is gone with the psp ver. One really bad irritation is with spells. They don't go quickly (like they're bogged down by the proc speed) and the sound doesn't match at all (the sound is delayed by a good sec or more). Sad.

  • @xycadium Nice. I've seen that Balthier is in, which seems a bit lame but I get it (MARKETING).

    I'll stick with the original and all its translation issues. Reis will always have the best bracelets in my games!

  • @gaspump Balthier and the main character from final fantasy tactics advance, off the top of my non-working (at the moment) mind.

  • @gaspump I finally got Balthier into my lineup and he's basically a copy of Mustadio mixed with the skills of a thief. He's got the gun abilities of don't move/don't act and an extra of turning one to stone and then a bunch of thieving skills so he's useful. But, you have to build up his exp/skills while typically by now you have several characters already at a much higher level. I've decided to dedicate time to him just so I can play him through the game. Cloud is the hard one to build up!

  • mos complex rpg of all time!

  • why do I keep seeing the blue character models (look at the enemies in the vid) only in training?

  • tactics ogre is much better than this piece of shit

  • i was wondering, since i cant be a Paladin or sword saint ( im a paladin class player)

    what should i choose in its place as a class ?

  • @moa373 Only class I can think of for you is to be just a Knight and have White Magic as your back up skill. There are specially unique characters that can join your team and one of them is a Holy Knight, which is basically a Paladin. I hope this helps.

  • any advice to training a calculator? they're slow a i've learn today.

  • @deathjoker666 Jp up on everything helps, just grind with that

  • fuck me for breaking my ps1

    fuck my ps2 for not playing any ps1 games anymore

  • WHAT ABOUT THE CALCULATOR?! D:

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song!

  • Of all the games labeled as Final Fantasy, I did not play anything except those with Tactics. I find FFTactics Series more worthwhile rather than simply doing puzzles and the same old FF RPGs.

  • I always watch this for some reason, and it's so freaking awesome.

  • only thing this game needed was steal: ability

  • black chocobo's fly and red ones make meteors fall from the sky! They should add those two to other final fantasy games.

  • i love the art in this game. fantastic

  • SE PUEDE ELEGIR SER UN DRAGON ?

  • @MASAKUFREEDOM Rei, uno de los personajes tenia la profesión de dragon.

  • @Chebwacca jem aclaremos lanzer no , dragon

  • @MASAKUFREEDOM no, la profesion inicial de ella es dragon, revisa cualquier video en youtube, busca por Reis, ese es su nombre.

  • I love how almost all of the Class specific gear in FFXI online comes from the sprites in this game

  • This game was so satisfying it makes me quiver with joy. Thiefs and Ninjas were so much fun to play around with. This game is so large and the random battles never go out of style.

  • @mopbrothers LOL made me remember when i accidentally threw Excalibur haaahahahahhahahah

  • @seahfb wait why didnt you have it equipped?

  • dammit this bring me the good old days

  • is there job skills in this like advanced 1 and 2? i want this game and its on the psn store now. like lets say i have the ninja skill to hold 2 swords from the ninja job then decided to go to another job learn some skills there and then decided to change to another job can i use the other skills as the secondary like if i was a mage then became a chemist could i still use black magick? i know chemist and mages don't need dual wield ability but its only an example?

  • Anybody else notice that the writing for Ninja changes from the normal writing they used for every other job (besides the monsters)?

  • Best Final Fantasy game hands down!!!!

  • I fuckin loved the Ice 4 spell.

    Something about it...was just so badass to me.

  • titants are the best monsters in the game:)

  • Ultimate FFT party in my eyes? (Without Arithmatician, of course, since that class is OP in my opinion) female Dark Knight with Mystic Arts subskill, the reflexes reaction ability and the Escutcheon, Tynar Rouge, and Chaos Blade equipped. Dancer with White Mage Subskills and Shiriahadori reaction ability with a Chantage and a ribbon, Male bard with Reflexes and a Kaiser Shield equipped. You have the Dark Knight make enemies undead with the Corruption spell, then pick the enemies off one by one.

  • I destroy everything with my legion of dark knights

  • @WhiteFoxProd

    Meh. Strong Man dont need overpower things

  • No one can beat up my squadron of Knights.

  • No mime, dancer, bard, oracle, mediator, or calculator!?

    Calculators pwn, man. They pwn hard. Making magic hit only people whose height/exp/etc. is a certain number/even/odd/prime/etc.

  • Comment removed

  • ONION KNIGHT

    can call forth the sacred onion to make his foes cry to death

    MEDIATOR

    talks to the enemy before being cleaved in half

    ARITHMETICIAN

    does some sums before bragging to the enemy about his intellect

  • What about arithmetican, union knight and dark knight? Dark knight is the sickest shiet everr dude

  • LANCERS and MONK!!!!! They are the best classes....

    Also the ninjas and summoners!!!! W FFT!!!!!

  • worst class is calculators. You have to actually equip their ability on a different class to take advantage of it. Bards and dancers are also notoriously unreliable, slow, and pitifully weak. I would probably take Thieves and some of their class abilities over a calc, bard, or dancer.

  • Don't know what anyone elses opinion is on this,but in my opinion the weakest class in this game is thief. They are simply the most pathetic fucking class I've encountered and yes i have beaten the game and unlocked ALL job classes.

    I fucking hate theif. If not for their steal ability they would be COMPLETELY useless. I mean jeez. What were the developers thinking? Give them a little fucking power. Just a LITTLE! Seriously. Fuck! What a useless class after you've gotten sick of stealing.

  • @Lance241151 give the thief the throw command and stock up.... they become ranged damage at its best.

  • @ScottRichardStoller I hear ya bro. It's a good suggestion,but i don't think its practical to waste a 2nd job slot simply to turn an already shit class into an "Ok" class. You know what i mean?

    It would be much better to just put throw command on an already good job class and make that job kick even more ass then it did before.

    Still,It's a good suggestion. If someone doesn't have the thief class maxed out then giving them throw command is a good idea. You're right. It makes them more useful.

  • @Lance241151 Steal heart is by far one of the most powerful abilities there is. They also have high speed, only being out ran by Ninja's... I guess it's all in how you use them.

  • question for anyone else here who is a jack of all trades guy/girl:

    i am going to go master ALL the jobs on here , what class should i go with, though i am a paladin guy :P

  • I love support jobs like Bard, Dancer and White Mage !

    When they are available, you don't notice them but once they're not, you only look for them !

  • samurais blade grasp was very useful

  • I have a character that fully mastered all classes and id say my favorite class was the calculator. Being able to calculate and cast on all enemies with death, flare or holy without needing MP or Range is just godlike. I prefer blade grasp over hamedo, plus throw on any shield and most melee/range attacks will be capped at 7% or less. I was hoping the archer class would be more fun but they are the biggest dissapointment for me. Was charge +20 really necessary lolol

  • xyntech06 i only say hamedo is good because i saw a youtube video on final fantasy tactics final boss vs ramza level 1 with that ability! u can check ramza vs altima

  • a character with blade grasp, auto potion, and hamedo the best skill! Best monster i think is a tiamat and greater hydra!

  • @DeBOMBs88

    is it just me or hamedo has like the worse proc rate for me. It almost always never activate unless if a knight is attacking me

  • Comment removed

  • Geomancer/Monk is my key jobs in this game. BAHAHAHA!!!

  • but yea the ninja class in general..is not that good for me lol but the double sword skill is a must for at least Ramza lol.

    Once you get Chaos Blade and Ragnarok.

    oh and one last question

    which one is bettter double hand or double sword? and why?

  • do knights and squires have the same damage output if we were to say they both have the same weps? cuz im wondering whether I should just keep Ramza as a knight w/ double swords and punch art since chakra, revive, stigma, earth slash and wave fist are too godly. I mean the fact that they dont even use up mp is crazy

  • @Xyntech06 Knights do more damage than squires using the same weapon.

  • @henryaudubon Also, Knights can equip Knightswords like Excalibur (auto-haste) , Ragnarok (auto-shell), Chaos Blade (auto-regen) , Save the Queen (auto-protect). I have a unit that I made a Knight after learning the two swords ability of the Ninja. I equipped it with Excalibur and Save the Queen in both hands and pretty much destroyed almost every unit since.

  • Ninja with two swords best class!

  • 龍騎士かナイトに算術つければ最強ワロス雷神シドは反則だよねw­

  • It took me FOREVER to get a dragon :3

  • You people making comments about the best job classes are a bunch of dorks. And I love each one of you for it :)

  • Obviously the best class combo is a monk/squire combo. Use Accumulate/Focus for a while till the enemy gets to you, then one hit them all for 500ish damage :D. Also this is the best FF game ever!

  • Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the psp version of this game and the ps1 version

  • @coltonherrick The psp version has two new jobs; the Onion and Dark knight

  • I never did like using Geomancers... >.>

  • I remember I was around the 3rd grade when this came out. Played it and love it to bits. I still get chills when I see the beauty of this game and the integrity Squaresoft had.

  • the LOL about this is that the song is great (especially if you can hear the base in it) and i had no CLUE it existed until i just left the game running at the title screen while i went to take a piss. walk back in room see this!

  • i wonder why they removed this from war of the lions...?

  • The female thief looks like a lesbian. Hahahahaha

  • I downloaded this a little bit ago on PSN and I just barely won it for the first time and I have to say this is one of the greatest games ever made. The story and the music are just phenomenal. This game even dominates games coming out nowadays. .

  • Where's the other knights (like holy), Calculator, Mime....

    ?

  • UNFORGETTABLE!!!!!!

    LEGEND!!! THE BEST!!!!

    I'm crying!!! Lots of memories in my mind TT TT

  • i used to watch my brother play this all the time, the girls were so pretty! especially the geomancers

  • Odd, the copy of Tactics I had called the White Mage = Priest, and Black Mage = Wizard. . .

    Hrm...

  • This game needs noses.

  • its not lancer its dragoon isn't it?

  • I'm still early in the game, but the most viscious enemy in this game so far has been the wizard. Once I got MPattackUP and raised my mp I simply picked off enemies one by one. And I'd keep an archer with Item Abilities behind him. Deadly combo. Of course, there'd be asshole teleporters who'd teleport next to me and I'd be taken with him.... }:(

  • Easily one of the greatest games ever produced...

  • This intro brings back a lot of memories.

  • @TGeiger85 I'm planning on finishing the psx tactics, then play the war of the lions on psp which i bought recently :D

  • Favorite lineup without special characters (i.e Orlandu)

    Ramza - Monk with two-swords ability

    Summoner - calculator's math ability and black flare

    Chemist

    Dancer/Bard - fly or teleport movement

    Another monk, samurai, or lancer.

    Dancer is gone when Agrias joins. Bard is gone when Orlandu joins.

  • I started a new game on the psx emulator :D Sweet! I wonder if people still play this game...

  • @watjuhjo

    I'm playing it atm. it's a classic never gets old.

  • @watjuhjo I am once I whip out my favored old PS2 once again! :D

  • Im accualy playing the game on my old PS^^ Started a whole new game again xD

  • this game is in my top 5 ...too bad the DS releases kinda sucked the PSP added some fun back into it but there will never be one as good as the original

  • are there more games like this for psp

  • i think that knights are decent, there really good with knight swords. i think there good early on because they have a lot more health then any other class. and you get them early on. i personally think the worst class is archers i mean the only good thing is innate move i guess and there abilities aside from there main ones like concentrate, etc. ninjas are beast because of there two swords abilities.

    god i love this game i think ive beaten it about 6 or 7 times now.

  • "Dragon: Villain of Villanis (?), monster of monsters, it's incredible strength and agility will make you see stars!" Lol...

  • yeah that's a funny caption xD

  • if u beat the game u will unlock hoe

  • i got the game yesturday im not liking it so far is it gonna get better? how can i change jobs?

  • if i remeber righ tu know befor u start a figh tthey ask u where u wanna stand people it should be over top of their names to change but i dont know bout the main person u play with

  • ninjas and knights are beast especially when u get the better skills. i cant wait to buy this game when i get a psp go ^__^

  • knights are not really that great

  • Guys the best jobs hands down are dancers and bards. You'll have the enemy begging for mercy after about the 2nd or 3rd turn cause they'll all be FROGS!

  • @HistorysMysterys

    That's if the skills connect.

  • @Barbe If they don't you still got dancers and bards boosting speed and decreasing the enemys speed.

  • @HistorysMysterys

    And I still say, anything on anyone still has to connect. It all depends on Faith, Bravery, Speed, and Luck. It's not like the other FFs where it's 100% all the time. Now, if you were to give your Bards and Dancers the R-Ability, "Vanish", while they were singing/dancing? That would make it a worthwhile wait in safety.

  • @HistorysMysterys except for bosses.

  • @XfullmetalRocker Well yea, but I'm talking about instant xp, instant leveling up, and instant rewards... And all you have to do is stand there. You don't even have to move, and you can set dance and sing as a secondary skill. Meaning dancing knights, thief's, mages etc. Also theirs more than just the nameless dance, there's the slow dance, the speed song, the battle song, etc. When it comes to most bosses they have gear you completely need, that is why a singer with speed song is important.

  • @HistorysMysterys I just don't use dancers and bards that much, I mainly use Time Mages for speed with concentrate. Oh, and Ramza is a powerhouse by himself if you can power up all your team mates speed, his attack, and use Time Magic to speed them all up, and use Slow on the enemies, your enemy is pretty much screwed.

  • @XfullmetalRocker True and I played FFT many times without heavily using the bards/dancers. But the last time I played it I found that they were essential with squire sec skills in getting mass XP and mass JPs. Sure many different types are good against bosses and story battles, but when it comes to grinding leveling dancers/bards are by far the best. Besides most of the bosses you'll wanna use thief's and other such types for the loot. Ramza is ok with his yell and scream command.

  • @XfullmetalRocker But think about it, yell for one character and your speed goes up one, cheer boosts everyone in your party. It may not be full proof, but it at least boosts more than 1 member. Ramza is GG to use with both dancers and bards and sometimes I just make Ramza one because I can't stand watching the old tired yell command.

  • @HistorysMysterys nah..... 1.thief's (cause you can steal their equip.), 2.knights (break their equip.), 3.dragoons (their armor is just fricken sweet), and 4.mimes (you can do all the things above) :D

  • Comment removed

  • @HistorysMysterys true true but everyone has their own opion...(i only like the weapons and armor of dragoons though)

  • @Roxas935 Yea, I just know some of those bosses are annoying if you want the weapons, thieves are a no brainer but I need a party that can control the enemies and turn them into helpless morons.

  • @HistorysMysterys and thats where beowulf comes in ;D

  • @Roxas935 In the 4th chapter.... I hated most of the guys in the 4th chapter, they destroyed the balance of the earlier job classes, and they all played pretty much the same with their Knight swords...

  • @HistorysMysterys should've drawed the line at agrais and mustadio

  • @Roxas935 Yea and they could of had more unique classes, like an Archer who doesn't just charge and uses fire and ice, not that they don't have Bows for that.

  • @HistorysMysterys i also didnt like that the black mages didnt have anymore elemental skills in it...areo for ex.

  • @Roxas935 Yea but you can't have everything, they were missing tons of magic from other people as well. The mages are ok in the first 2 chapters, but I'm not a huge fan of them either. Although I enjoyed playing them more than the Knight classes. Summoners are the best mages hands down (if you got tons of MP).

  • @HistorysMysterys them and time mages all because of their boosting stats like short charge that and meteor

  • @Roxas935 Yes Time Mages are good, I kinda liked White mages for their spells, but they quickly become obsolete. When it comes to suefullness for me, Bards and thieves, when it comes to ownage I dunno I guess TG cid.

  • @HistorysMysterys Yeah....

  • I remember a few combinations I had fun playing around with...Time Mage Sub-Commands and movement ability (Time Magic and Teleport) Rolled into an Archer. Teleport to the highest point on the map and use haste to plug away.

    Then I remember playing with Knight/Ninja...dual wielding Knight Swords was fun. And when I had a plentiful stock, I could chuck them sons'a'bitches.

  • Introducing...Final Fantasy Tactics! No Judges! No children! No limit on quests! Fun!

  • Comment removed

  • ninja's dual wield + samurai's shirahadori + dark knight = the winner

  • Guys I remember playing a game on Playstation 2 that had basically the same style of play but a different name and better graphics. Can someone maybe point out what it was I dont remember the name. The main character was a Swordsmen and his homeboy was a Dragoon/Lancer. It played like exactly the same pretty much.

  • Disgaea? Except that Laharl's 'homeboy' was a female.

  • No, tacticz came out first...:)

  • my favorite is dark knight and  ninja

  • this isn't on xbox360 is it?

  • old school psx, or on PSP as Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (not to be confused with the ff tactics advance 1+2 stuff)

  • Nope :)

  • dont forgot about cloud and his materia blade. ;)

  • you get them as a auto army?

  • wich are the best jobs? wich 4 jobs are the best?

    to upgrade them to all!!

  • 4 best jobs in my opinion are Ninja, Monk, Samurai, Lancer. But once you get Orlandu and Beowulf they are pretty much the best characters.

  • how or when you get orlandu and beowulf?

  • You get them both In Chapter 4

  • Monk is the best all-around physical job class. It has the multiple-healing CHAKRA and has a short-range revive technique as well! And Earth Slash can be EXTREMELY useful as an offensive! The only problems a monk can face is terrain height and floating enemies iirc.

    Calculator is the best magical job.... you just have to learn how to use it (which can be confusing at first). The up-side is your 'physical range' is infinite and you don't rely on MP! [continued]

  • Do not just depend on WHAT CLASS if you want to make the strongest characters! Blade grasp as a counter is very important when you raise your character's brave up to 97. This will make you dodge weapons and most physical monster attacks (other than spin-fist and a couple others) 97% of the time!

    [continued]

  • But if you want unparalleled resistances to magic, lower your faith as low as you can get it (I forget what the lowest point is). But this will also make your magic offense and magical healing just as void! Also, do not forget: Monk abilities are NOT magic-based! So, lowering or raising faith does NOT make them more potent.

  • @JCrest87 What would be like the 5 WORST Jobs in FFT?

  • don't you guys get noticed that Tifa has a reference on this game? if you get notice the female archer is like her, except Readhead.

  • Ummm, except you're making that out of your ass. Plus she looks nothing like Tifa at all, you are trippin.

  • no mean her sprite, i just did an editing of the female arecher's sprite:

    first i adde some dark brunette color to her hair

    second i added red to her gloves and for the upper part of her arm i adde dark grey to make her black wristbands

    and finally and last, i added white color to her upper torso wearing and dark grey to the lower part and to finish i added her own skin color to the belly part to separate the shirt from the skirt.

    and that's all i did it on paint, i'll show u later.

  • i think this is very inspired by the amazing Fire Emblem series

    it even had a job explanation sequence like this, but waaay cooler

  • Final Fantasy's job system's have been around since Final Fantasy 3.

  • 1. fire emblem's been around since 1990 as well

    2. ur missing the point, dumbass. i wasnt referring to the job system. is that all u can think about? it's the gameplay. grid and turn based.

    3. job systems have been around since way before ff3

  • seriously man, go do some research before u say stuff like that, okay? =P

  • Hahah wow my bad, I didnt know I needed a PHD in videogame history.

    my apologies :I

  • Actually jobs came first time in Final Fantasy 1 :)

  • Disgaea is fucking awesome.

    Might not be better than FF, but it definately DOESN'T suck.

  • disgaea 3 sucks. i also paid 80 bucks (b4 the bundle) to get DLC. and it was pretty disent but not worth it. paying that much for half a game and some other crap was not wise. i liked disgaea 1&2 better. they so were much funner than than 3. don't get me wrong its a good game but it lacked that essence of a greater one. iam looking forward to a 4th. once i get my ps3 fixed... again..... btw im buying this in a few days. looking forward to it

  • Why the hell couldn't SE make a FFT game with this seriousness (story wise). Fine and dandy if you like the more cartoonish storyline with the Advance releases, but there is definitely an audience for the more mature and in my opinion more related to our own reality that was in War of the Lions.

  • BEST GAME EVER.

  • GOOOD OLD TIMESSSS

  • just fight in the green dots. you can get all the jobs in the first chapter

  • this is so better then disgaea!!

  • The tell me how to f*cking level up and maybe i can get on with the game.

    im barely on the first level and so far from what i read from the texts of the charectors its trash & it gots some half-ass british slangs and talk its so not worth 20 bucks

  • Twenty Dollars? I paid 50 for mine! And believe me, it was WELL WELL Worth it! How to level up? You sir must be pretty retarded, every time you hit someone, you gain EXP! Durr, you must have never played, or have the mentality of a six year old.
