Final Fantasy Tactics - frog mayhem

Having done this while progressing through the game's story in one of the story-based battles, I wanted a video of this. Also, with weaklings having practically nothing in the way of abilities and a level way below what my main group has, getting the weaklings levelled up and learning the abilities comes quick. In this case, it's Orlandu and in this case, I'm 2 hours into the battle at the time I started recording this. I herded the enemies to where I wanted them.

At the start of the video, I show the setup I have. Note the two confused frogs doing backflips (funny!) surrounding a swimming archer with "don't move" on all of them. When swimming, acting is not possible so the archer can't attack the frogs to get them to no longer be confused. Also, note that the archer's faith is 100. I was testing something to see what would happen if faith gets too high, but apparently nothing happens (it's based on the permanent value). When the frog does attack Ramza, you'll note that it has a 0% chance of hitting. Any blind enemy has no chance of hitting Ramza, except a strike to his back. The video itself would easily last 20 minutes, but I've left out the bulk of thiefing and various other things, but keeping the parts that are the main focus of this video. After the battle, I do my usual preparation and, with 9999 JP to spend on one job, I very quickly obtain all abilities within it (another has over 3000, thanks to Ramza). Because I take a rather long time to figure out what equipment or abilities I want, I left much of this out, causing several skips to occur.

i'm just wandering, when do u get orlandu? i don't know who he even is fully, so im just confused

If I recall, you get him as you advance the game's story.

I remember this game. It's one of my favorites.. any time one of my guys would turn into a crystal or chest I would reset the game.. I didn't want to lose anyone whether they were weak or not.. I managed to beat the game without losing anyone. Was still fun though.

I've actually never had that happen to my own. I've had a close call once with Ramza due to extreme speed (maxed) and a doom trap. I had to quickly get someone over to revive him and the timer while in death was on 0. That was the closest I've ever been to game over on this game during my second run. I always had it on my first play because I found the game too difficult. Once I learned you can sleep almost any enemy, the game went from ultra hard to completely unchallenging....

Hey this may be a stupid question as well but I've gota ask.

In FFT how old is orlandu on your file? 346.1 hours in game time.....He must be like 200. LOL.

[ulillillia]

He's probably about 50 to 80 hours, I don't know with any certainty. I haven't touched this game in a very long time, probably a year by now.

@ulillillia kk just wanderin, he sounds alot like the guy u get that has excalibur soon but i wasn't sure

Well in my defense I was about 12 when I played it.. I stopped playing for a long time and finally played it again when I was maybe 16 or so and beat it pretty fast. If it's too easy maybe you should do what I do.. I like to restrict myself from using certain things to make it harder.. Ex: I've been attempting speed runs on Super Mario World with frame skip raising the speed to 417%. It makes it a lot more fun.

True. But in FFT for the PSP, and possibly for the PS1 version. I had gotten to level 99 trying to get the Dark Knight class for Ramza (On the PSP version, of course). And the rest of the game was simple. All of the story battles were low-leveled compared to Ramza and I (out of enjoyment) soloed most of the story battles for Chapter 4. (Not including the extra side-battles.) I believe this is also true in the PS1 version, just without the Dark Knight class. Nice video though.

The fix was easy, though it took around 3 hours. The "math skill" ability combined with "flare" makes almost everything effortless. I've been level 99 since before I first visited Sweegy Woods. I've had 5 characters master every job before I first visited Sweegy Woods, the story's third battle. It's a weakness I found in the game and I exploited it.
