Self Promotion FFT Companion App now available!

I've created a FFT Companion App (PSX, WOTL, and TIC versions). It is available for:

If you like my work, you can support me here!

If you want to report a bug, provide feedback, or just hang out, I have a Discord channel here: https://discord.gg/xkBwDQUf

What is this for?

Final Fantasy Tactics is a complicated game, with a lot of depth. As a game that is almost 30 years old, there is a lot of information about it on the internet. However, by modern standards, that information is not in a format that is easily consumed.

I have a few main goals for this project:

  1. Have a central source of truth to help understand the game's mechanics.
  2. Provide information for the different versions of the game.
  3. Provide this information in a user-friendly way.

Features

The game has many versions, mainly the PSX, WOTL, and TIC versions. Each version has some differences, like stats and names. In the top-right menu, you can change the version that you are viewing, and it will change the data to that version!

Almost anything with a list can be filtered, sorted, and searched for!

Currently it supports English, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil). I am open to supporting other languages as well (I would need help though!).

The application is split into a few main parts:

https://reddit.com/link/1lsukt6/video/86d278bwr7pf1/player

1. Equipment

Every equipment found in the game will be listed here. You can see their stats, effects, how to get the equipment, and which jobs can equip it!

2. Jobs

Every generic job and special job the player can access is listed here. You can find their stat multipliers, stat growths, equippables, and requirements. You'll also be able to compare stats with other jobs.

3. Abilities

All abilities available to jobs, bosses, and monsters will be listed here. You can find each ability's stats, effects, damage and success calculations, modifiers, range, and more!

4. Monsters

All monsters that you can find in the game will be listed here. Similar to jobs, you can see their stats, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, poach items, spawn locations, and more.

5. Bosses

All bosses in the game will be listed here. Stats, abilities, and equipment will be listed here.

6. Maps

Every map that you will encounter in the game can be viewed in 3D. This includes random battles, side quest battles, and story battles as well! You'll also be able to see trap and item locations, exit locations for Deep Dungeon, as well as deployment locations.

7. Zodiac Compatibility

An interactive zodiac compatibility chart to easily see the strengths and weaknesses for each zodiac sign.

8. Online Character Planner / Unit Builder

Simulate your character, plan their build, see how their stats change, and check their damage! You can control almost everything:

  • Zodiac
  • Gender
  • Version
  • Character
  • Job
  • Brave
  • Faith
  • Level
  • Level Progression
  • Abilities
  • Equipment

You can even share your character for others to see. Just give them the link!

9. Online Team Builder

As you all know, the app currently allows you to create your own units. You can get some great info for each unit, such as damage for each of their abilities, stat growth, and evasion. But in FFT, you don't play with just one unit (normally, at least). You use your units in a team!

Today, you will be able to make your own custom teams with the units that you create. At the moment, it focuses on zodiac compatibility and ability distribution. It isn't much, but now that I've got the foundation for the team builder setup, I'll be able to add more analytics about what it can show about your team! If anyone has any ideas about other analytics to show, let me know.

Give it a try today with the units that you've created, and learn more about your team!

Monetization

With the amount of traffic I've been getting, I've had to introduce some monetization to the app to keep it running and available to everyone.

There is now going to be a banner ad along the bottom. I don't want to add more than that, as I don't want it to affect the user experience that much. Of course, it can also be removed via an in-app purchase. You can find it in the account settings.

Something that some people have been asking for is more units. This will also be available as an in-app purchase as well! Currently will increase by an additional 50 units and 20 teams. I think that will be more than enough for most people's use, but I may increase it depending on the usage.

Original Post:

About a month ago, I mentioned that I was creating a companion app to complement FFT. Well, I've decided to make the first version available today! Good for both mobile and desktop use. I also plan to release Android and iOS versions later.

For now, it is just an equipment database. There are many different filters (stats, effects, weapon/armor categories, and more!), name search, and sorting. The one I personally have been using the most is the "Story Battle" filter, which shows you what equipment are available (by any method, not just from the outfitter) at a specific point in the game!

Finally, you can change the version to either PSX or WotL. This will change the name of different things to how they are in each version, as well as the availability of different equipment. Of course, I also plan to support the different modes in Ivalice Chronicles as well when that comes out.

I hope this can help enhance your FFT experience! Please play around with it and let me know what you all think. I do plan to continue adding more features to this, such as jobs, skills, treasure maps, etc.

Announcement: fixed user flairs!

Hi everyone,

I just fixed the user flairs on the subreddit. I didn't realize that a Reddit update broke them some time ago. Depending on when you assigned yourself a flair, you may or may not need to reassign it to yourself.

On new Reddit:

On old Reddit:

Also we recently hit 15,000 members! Huge milestone, and we're still growing fast.

This is a personal project in it's early stage of development, I’ve been working on recreating the PSX classic from scratch so it can run directly in web browsers.

Here’s a short video showing where the project stands right now.

My goal is to capture as near as possible the authentic look and feel. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any small details from the original game that you think are absolute must-haves or desired new features.

I posted awhile back about a mod I was developing for Crusader Kings 2 based on the world of Ivalice. I finally got my own custom map working that includes areas from all games set within the various worlds of Ivalice into one combined map that actually works! I tried to remain as faithful to the maps that I found in order to place everything.

I have no idea how to make a ROM hack, but I wish I could make one for A2 with only monsters. It's the only game in the series where you can't officially play as monsters or even with a hack

Self Promotion Inspired by FFT's grid combat, I'm making a tactical deckbuilder where your loot dictates your skills. After months of solo development, my Steam page is officially live!

For some context on the game: Lootdeck is a tactical roguelite deckbuilder deeply integrated with tabletop combat mechanics. Your loot is your deck. Every weapon, armor, and artifact you equip directly adds specific action cards to your hand. You have to craft your unique playstyle through inventory management, master grid-based positioning, and rely on TTRPG-style dice rolls to survive an ever-changing dark fantasy dungeon.

Steam page just went live today. If this sounds like your type of game, I would greatly appreciate it if you checked it out.

The only Final Fantasy I've played is FF6 about a year ago (really liked it), and I've never played a single game by Yasumi Matsuno

I'm excited to see what this is all about, and a voice acted rerelease is something I WISH would happen to my favorite retro games (...still holding out hope on Xenogears lol). I'll be listening to the Resonant Arc podcast as I play this game, and I've already completed the first episode about the dev history. I hope I enjoy it!

Happened out of nowhere and have no remedy in sight, updated all my drivers, reinstalled and cleared my cache. Nothing helps. No mods installed currently or ever. Is my save corrupted?

FFT Ivalice Chronicles Getting new recruit for higher faith stat? (Healer/Support)

7 Upvotes

I am a good 10 hours or so into the game. I am early on story wise, only just in Zeklaua Desert.

I have a Lvl 9 recruit who is my healer/support, currently running as a white mage. However, his Faith stat is only 63. I got a new recruit that is Faith stat 70, however it seems that it will be time consuming to level the new recruit up to where the other recruit already is.

Is it worth it to level up the new recruit because 63 is too low? I know you eventually get a job where you can permanently increase Faith, but not sure if that will end up being even more time consuming.

Thanks for any responses!

I wish unit knockback was a more fleshed-out mechanic

28 Upvotes

(For context I’ve played WotL to completion several times and am now starting my no-grind run on Chronicles.)

Only crits, throw stone, and rush have chances at shoving units around. I these abilities have a lot of good playmaking potential just because of those aspects, and fall damage being a mechanic compliments it very well. I wish there was a whole class desiccated to this.

Here’s an idea: Wind Mage

Prerequisites: Lvl 3 Mystic and Lvl 3 Time Mage

Action abilities:

Aero, 6mp cost, targets one unit, with a range of 5, deals low damage but knocks the unit back one tile depending on where you are facing when you end your turn (so turning left knocks the unit back left)

Aerora, 12mp, same as before but more damage

Aeroga, 15mp, same as before but more damage

Aeroja, 25mp, same as before but splashes like a typical black mage spell and knocks all units back

Sleep, 8mp, 4 range with splash, makes units sleep

Levitate, 10mp, 4 range no splash, makes units hover

Reactive ability:

Swat: when taking physical damage, knock that unit back and deal some damage (basically cast aero in the unit for free)

Gale: when being attacked by a projectile (arrow, bullet, thrown items), reflect it back to its thrower for damage, taking no damage from it yourself

Passive ability:

Winds of Change: all abilities that would knock a unit back a tile have a chance to unequip their weapon.

Movement ability:

Psychofont: Gain a small amount of exp and jp on moving. (5exp and 3jp)

Other classes:

Archer: all aimed abilities have a higher chance of knocking the targeted unit back a tile, aim 10 is guaranteed and aim 20 is guaranteed and knocks an extra tile (3 tiles with Gale)

Knight: Shield Bash is a new activated ability that acts like a beefier Rush that scales damage based on shield phys block, guaranteed knockback

Monk: Firm Stance is a new passive that prevents you from being knocked back. Cyclone now has a small chance to knock back each unit hit

Mystic: Equip Poles is a new passive baked into the mystic class that allows units to equip poles AND allows poles to have a chance to knock back units it hits.

Geomancer: Wind element geomancy now has a chance to knock back a unit

FFT Ivalice Chronicles Ivalice chronicles afk auto battle.

12 Upvotes

So I've set up my mandelia plane afk battle where I suround a chocobo with 3 ninja and ramza squire while my forth ninja sing his nameless song with auto battle "get to safety".

All my ninja have a single dagger in hand to not attack twice and are turned to frog except the one with speechcraft. That ninja must put all characters and herself on berserk. Ramza has black magic to turn all in frog. My girl ninja with her dagger did about 42 damage while the other frog did 7.

Chocobo will choco cure and heal the party to keep himself alive. To end setup dismiss auto battle on the singing ninja, get to the ninja with speech craft she must have reraise on. Kill her, when its her turn she reraise, turn chocobo in chicken and let the male ninja finish the job. Ghe chocobo had previously been reduced to 10 brave to do less damage.

I level up ninja because lf speed and good stats. Ramza squire because its a decent MA growth.

If Ramza wears the cursed ring during the Lionel gate fight not only is he smart enough to use a phoenix down, he can use it from the ground floor under Ramza.

I decided to start working on an interactive chart to predict growth for units in FFTA2. I currently have the some features such as job levels and optimal growth rates implemented along with the ability to choose variance effects. I still need to add the database on equipment to factor into builds as well as a way to save custom unit slots. Let me know what you think of the mockups.

FFT Ivalice Chronicles Am I bad or underleveled?

9 Upvotes

First time playing- loving it.

I'm on tactician, I'm still in the beginning. Milleuda keeps kicking my ass. it's the second fight with her, she's got two blm and a timemage.

I threw myself at the fight a couple times. I decided to go back into the field and grind out some new jobs and skills. I've got ramza + four all up to level 8-9. I want to keep grinding JP to unlock more jobs and skills, but I don't know if I'll end up overleveling and ruining the fun?

How will I know when I'm losing because I'm bad vs because I need to level up more? and when will I know when I've overleveled?

thanks y'all <3
