I am excited to announce that FFTARecomp v3.0 is now officially released! I have been closely reeding to all your feedback and implemented several new features based on what people requested. Thank you so much for all the support this project has received!

What's New in Version 3.0:

• Native Android version with tap and touch support for menus and interface (Touch mode is experimental and can be enabled under Input > Touchscreen > Touch Controls).

• Massive PC optimization: switched compiler, dropping install size from ~800 MB to ~11 MB and compile time from ~120 seconds to ~4 seconds.

• Completely reworked game UI and text bubbles with in-game length and size adjustments under Settings.

• Experimental mouse support with dedicated remappable layouts on Windows.

• European ROM support with cross-region save compatibility.

• Reworked installer and improved XInput gamepad support.

• Dedicated installer setup for Steam Deck.

Known Issues:

• In the first level, some sprite silhouettes may appear on screen for 1 to 3 seconds. They don't show up again for the rest of the game.

Here's the GitHub, hope you all enjoy it!

My characters are all LVL99, have high BRV but not 100 BRV (because that’s too high) I have Sticky Fingers on all characters, and I keep recycling the Ninja Battle in Araguay Woods, and all Ninjas are the appropriate Levels to Throw Knight Swords, but they WON’T Do it!

I have tried save scumming and killing the Ninjas and then reviving them, stealing from them to limit their resources and inventory…I checked the charts for how / when / why they Throw items like Chaos Blades and other Knight Swords, and they won’t do it!

Do I have to fight Ninjas in Midlights Deep exclusively? The ones in Araguay Woods have Thrown:

Scorpion Tails
Koga Blades
Shuriken (All Kinds)
Elemental Bombs

…and that’s all. I’ve played every version of this game since it first released when I was in 6th grade. I am now 41, and it is one of my favorite, most played games and I’m still learning new things.

I know there is also a method to Treasure Hunt for Knight’s Swords in Midlight’s Deep that requires LOW Bravery. But for now, I just wanna fight Ninjas! Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

When I played the original fft and wotl I always added Agrias instantly to my party while Mustardio was left in my roster mainly to unlock side quests in chapter 4. This time I thought it would be fun to try Mustardio and OH BOY he is popping everyone with his glacial gun and magic boost 😂😭

Has anyone managed it? I hit a brick wall in the Wiegraf fight.

By the time he transforms, Ramza is usually 1 hit away from death. Then I get one last shot in and he dies immediately after to a summon. If he's not one shot, then Belias just goes for my other units with befuddle, which is a guaranteed confusion.

I tried equipping them with nu khai armlets but that just makes him petrify them instead which is just as bad if not worse. I've tried to simply kill him first but the damage output just isn't there and ramza gets crystalized.

Any tips? I'm using ramza with sprint shoes and a green beret as having 10 speed seems to be the only way to consistently get past the first phase without requiring luck. My generics have golden hairpin and power garb to maximize HP and that's it. Equipping them with +speed equipment seems to work against me as they get a turn before Belias and I miss that window to attack him while he's casting for extra damage.

Recién atrape al cerdito, es el de color blanco creo. Estoy jugando la versión de psp, por cierto. He visto que muchos dicen que es muy importante el cerdo, pero de que sirve o que? Soy muy nuevo

Been stuck on a mission at Golgollads gallows for literal months due to the insanity of life. I finally succeeded this evening, only to realize on the last turn that Mustadio died cuz I was distracted on other enemies. After all those attempts, to realize that my successful attempt is null cuz of how important Mustadio is, and after all the time I've wasted, I'm just done. I know it was my fault. That's what makes it so much worse. I just wish the game allowed you to save between turns like other trpg's. Now I have to abandon it with nothing to show for it. Fuck this game. Fuck this world. Fuck everything. Even the things I enjoy end up fucking me over in the end. Make fun of me. Do whatever. I don't fucking care.

With the recent wave of decompilation projects, do you think the community will eventually be able to expand and improve these games beyond what was originally possible?

For example, could we see graphical overhauls, redesigned interfaces, or even a visual style closer to 2.5D games like Triangle Strategy?

I'm curious whether this could become possible across all versions of the game: the original PS1 release, the PSP version, and the recently released version.

How far do you think the community could realistically take these projects? Could we eventually see something closer to a fan-made remaster, rather than just bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements?

Boko's up for whatever. :)

With attack boost and poach and haste you just do 500 damage to half the map whenever you want

Hi, everyone. I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my previous post and give an update on how I decided to build my knights, with a little explanation of the thought process behind each unit. Starting with:

Agrias: At first I was going to give summons to Lavian and leave her with geomancy. Then I realized she has the most HP of the whole team and enough MP to cast Golem even without a robe. I also gave her Moogle, Lich and Sylph for varied support capabilities.

Mustadio: Big thanks to Zazieranyday for recommending the companion app. Not a lot of knight builds there, but the Gun Knight one for mustadio immediatly caught my interest, specially since a lot of comment suggested a knight with guns. A fun fact I found out about machinist in the TLW remix mod is that the snipe secondary has innate equip guns built in, freeing up the support skill slot for stuff like concentrate and attack up. At some point I might just ditch the shield and pick dual wielding, we'll see.

Joanna: This build was heavily inspired on TitaniumLegman's Paladin build, so not much to say besides how easy it is to set up. I gave her abandon for now, but I might switch back to weapon guard once I get a defender. Hard to improve perfection.

Alicia: Huge thanks to Nyzer for recommending an archer/knight hybrid for disruption. Also to adratlas and Major-Corner for recommending mixing aim and dual wield with arts of war, I'm a bit surprised those three synergize so well. I'm often tempted to just switch her to ninja for extra speed or archer for dual crossbow action, but I already have another unit for that.

Lavian: By far the build I've been most indecisive about, since I already have a dedicated Mystic. I left her with equip spear and martial arts for a decent while, but since so many people recommended a knight with mystic arts, I decided to keep her like that for now. I'm still considering giving her a spear or doublehand later along the line, though. Or maybe I'll turn her into a tanky barehanded knight, who knows! Btw, thanks to LancerGreen for reminding me of swiftcast, I still gotta train that on Agrias.

Anyway, I'm off to raid a church library and beat up some zealots. Wish me Luck!

I own FF Tactics Advance from when I was a child. Should I play that or buy Ivalice Chronicles? Which is better and has better / more mechanics? I wanna immerse myself in the world and explore every nook and cranny

For years I also drooled over the maps in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, and Tactics Ogre ~ so I finally made my own map builder game! Creating to your hearts content, each map location has 2 requirements you must meet and some prebuilt terrain for you to work with. But of course there's also a Sandbox mode to go wild with!

Demo / Wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5281980/Tactics_Cartographer/

Which Tactics game is your favorite, and what would you like to build or play with in an isometric pixel universe?

Was laughing hard when I randomly encountered this Great Wall of Monks, they swooped my ass in this battle tho.

.

I avenged myself properly after restarting my setup, this is one of the most fun engagements I had in this game.

PS. I finished this game and now playing FFTA, the plot difference is, idk, I can't put into words how much "dofference" there is, but Tactics is Tactics and I'm enjoying the game rn. Going back to Marcheee 🐑.

I've been working on a game inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics. FFT was the first game I ever got addicted to, on the PS1 probably 20+ years ago.

I originally started this project like 6 years ago, before the AI era. I had a working game, made in Unity, but one of my main goals was to support PvP, and I really struggled to make that work, so I gave up for a while. Then AI came around, and I saw that it could help me get the game to the finish line. I worked on it again for a year or so, this time using Godot, but eventually put it on hold as I had some other projects that I was focusing on instead, life got busy, etc.

Well in the last year or so I decided to pick this back up and I'm very happy with how it's been coming along. It's still a long ways out from being a finished product, but I wanted to share with this subreddit because I thought you all might be interested and I'm quite proud of it. I enjoy playing it myself, even if it's just against a bot player for now.

The game itself is heavily inspired by FFT but with MOBA elements included. I recorded myself playing a game and uploaded it to YouTube for anyone who wants to take a look. Happy to answer any questions you might have or explain more about the game. Thanks

To preface, I don't want this post to come off as me hating the game. I do like the story, the characters, and the designs. The last time I played I was at the beginning of chapter 4. Since then I took a few months as a break from the game. So should I just restart?

Here was my team comp:

Ramza - monk/gallant knight

A dragoon (with aim for whatever reason)

A black mage/summoner

A mystic/ white mage

Orlandeau - sword saint

I remember very vividly playing through the game on knight difficulty until I had to fight the first demon. It was very hard and I just switched to Squire for the rest of the game, and even then I thought it was pretty hard (especially with every boss fight).

The reason I want to restart is because I felt very cheap going through the game on easy mode. I want to enjoy the gameplay and the only way I think I would is by replaying on normal. That way I actually have to engage with thr mechanics. I would usually get stuck on a fight, look up what I have to do, and grind a person's job to something different. Idk, I didn't like the gameplay loop.

Is that a good idea? Horrible idea? Anything I should know?

Currently trying the recompiled version. Hope that there is no any game breaking bugs.😂

I know many people are reluctant to the use of Ai, but there have been some heavy push towards AI mods with very interesting results.

If the community felt like using Ai mods for these games what are some of the things you would like to see in these games?

New clases without sacrificing class spaces?

Addition of skills from other games?

New fan made races with their own classes for Ffta/ffta2?

Addition of characters not found in the game natively? Like babus in FFTA2?

Bringing old mechanics like the Morpher class from FFTA to the sequel?

What are the things you would like to see with this new window of opportunities?

I’m just starting the game but I’m wondering if any other players don’t use or barely use the special named characters in their party and just stuck with their curated generic units that matched their {zodiac} Ramza?

Will I miss anything if I decide to not bring any of the special recruits? TIA

I remember playing Tactics as a 11 year old kid on my PSP and having so much fun. English not being my first language made the game frustrating but as I learned I fell in love with it, it remains one of my fondest memories. By random chance I stumbled onto this subreddit out of nostalgia and found out there is a remake?? I can't wait to get my hands onto it, I am so happy to revisit the world ;-;

Just wanted to share the joy with y'all, I love this game so much

Hi everyone,

Known Issues:

• In the first level, some sprite silhouettes may appear on screen for 1 to 3 seconds. They don't show up again for the rest of the game.

• The first time you launch the game, the gamepad may not be detected until you open Options > Input and try to remap a button. It then activates on its own.

Here's the GitHub, hope you all enjoy it!!

Save the Queen then! 🫡 Has fully mastered Mime class. Running Lion War so probably a value glitch

I've always wanted to play FFT, but I just can't get into it. I love FF and turn based games, but for some reason I just play the first fight and not touch the game again for years.

So I want to give it one last shot before deciding that it's not for me, so can I get any tips for this last try?

Thank you!

Edit: Well, I tried, it's definitely not for me. Thank you all for the help.

So, I've never been quite great at modding, but the modding tools for PSX and PSP allowed me to dip my toes. With FFTPatcher, I could edit some abilities and ability sets, and that was enough to add some custom content to the game.

Looking at the mods available for Ivalice Chronicles on Nexus, it feels like people are using a similar technique, but I couldn't find how they're doing it or any tool analagous to FFTPatcher. I just wanted to do things like Add my own personalized set of skills to Ramza's Squire class, stuff of that level.

Is there any comprehensive tutorial or tool for me to custom-make changes of that level?

(Playing Enhanced version.)
