Current Events > Final Fantasy Tactics General: Shut The Jape Up SPOILERS

(+) Yeah! (+)

@Bad_Mojo

Let's all discuss the FFT series or even the FF series in general ITT. This game sure does use the word jape a lot lmao.
---

Already half way mastering knights with 3 of my units and I just finished Dorter event lmao.
---

Shut the fuck up
---

I revived my poem from years back for this very occasion*.

---

'Twas the night 'fore Ajoramas and all through the keep
Not a goblin was stirring (thank CT5 Sleep)
Crossbows were hung on the mantel with care
In the hopes Algus' ghost would stay 'way from there

The kiddies were nestled all snug in their packs
Giving Dycedarg a moment to finally relax
Zalbag in jammies, me with a javelin
Waited for morn and the present unravelin'

When outside the window, there arose a commotion
I teleported to check in one breezy motion
The curtains were shut, but I parted them thus
And readied my spear to inspect the fuss

The cloudy sky made a windswept clime
And would give bonuses to ice, Zalbag had chimed
I looked down askance at the ruckus' cause
And exclaimed to my brethren, "It's Santa Claus!"

He had a lone courser of tentacled face
That pulled his sleigh on at astonishing pace
The jolly man readied his crop with a crack
And blows fell upon the squidlarkin's back

As a sword upon broadened shield does veer
When met by an obstacle too thick to be sheared
The sled ground 'gainst the bank, til up on one rail
It shot through the sky like a Bismarkian whale

When right behind me, a burgeoning crowd!
I then realized I'd been narrating aloud
Before I could explain no whale existed
Alma hushed us, and no one resisted

Castle Igros' rooftop was spangled by noise
When Santa slid down the flue, abreast of his toys
The silent crowd clamored like soldiers for hire
Dyce ran to his aid and put out the fire

At long last, we held that man in our sights
Who'd brought joy to this long storied night
His rosy face was besooted, dark like a grue
Other features were like more similes I knew

His wit soon had us in merriment's throes
As he said of our mantle, "I also hang those!"
We all tipped our cups and he opened his bag
In order to brandish all kinds of swag

But the greatest gift was reserved for us all
As we heard a knock from far down the hall
Dyce opened the door and like a holiday carol
Soon exclaimed "It's my eldest brother...Daryl!"

The clan ran forward for teary embrace,
And left the servants to clean up the place
Santa held back and smirked at the scene
Then flew up the chimney with magic unseen

He clicked his reins as a good driver might
And crossed off his list as he took flight
He passed overhead and I seem to recall
Him saying "Merry Ajoramas to each of you all!"

FFTA2 > FFT

I am about 25 hours into FF12 Remaster and it is my new fave FF. Figured that was relevant since it takes place in Ivalice.
---

FFXIV actually has a 24-man series named Return to Ivalice.

Why we're all of the knight skills so expensive? You unlock it early on and move on as soon as possible because there's no point in grinding for those lame ass break skills.
---

I've been playing the phone version off and on for a while. Beat it a few days ago so I got access to all the fun new broken multiplayer items. Between that and Balthier, this is gonna be fun

Mastering Knight? Are you planning to make multiple Dark Knights?

ya god damn right. The imma master black mage lmao.

Remember to abuse the JP spillover. Having 5 knights all using focus against the maps with 2-3 monsters will easily get you all the JP you want.

What are some fun builds for him?

Shotgunnova posted...

Meliadoul > Agrias

Maybe in the PSP port, where Meliadoul's skillset isn't dead weight half the time.

I mean...Meliadoul can kill 1 person. Agrias can kill 5 people. Math Skill can kill 16 people

Chemist.

@Veggeta_X

lol, I found some of my old FFT poems -

TravelingJack

Traveling with a heretic is not always fun
Run into 87 Monks that Musty kills with his gun.
Algus joins the party and makes everything sour
Virgo or Pieces, Rafa doesn't give up her flower.
Everyone wants to kills us at each and every turn
Lede or Celia, the assassins, will be happy to make us burn
Items will always save us, sand-bagging is fun
Night Sword their life, and watch them all run.
Girls fall to their knees, but perfumes give them life
Just when I thought I could take them for a wife.
Alone in the world, with me and my crew
Crush all the eggs, so we don't have a zoo.
Kill everything.

Octans

Orbonne Monastery is where we start
can we save Princess Ovelia?
To the fight, it is only right
Along comes Delita for pedophilia.
No, this can't be true, does he want a wife?
Someday soon, she'll stab him with a knife.

KokyuDosa

Knights, please don't break my stuff
Oracles will now make you funny
Knights go blind, I'm hard to find
you are wasting all my money.
Ultima, the High Seraph, we are going to kill you
Didn't have a chance to knock
Orlandu is cast, you will not last
simply you are going to be rocked.
Altima is a better name.

Mairuzu

Mustadio, why do you always die
alone on the top of your wall
I have a good party, but your not a smarty
run in head-first until you fall.
Usurpation will not be, if you don't give them a stun
zodiac stones we need, just shoot them with your gun.
Useless.

abbr

Alone in the battle, Ramaza stands tall.
beaten and bloody, Wiegraf will now fall.
Before the final blow, he just disappears
run away now, for a monster as appeared.

Ulala Rules

Uber Squire, Mr. Buttpants
Loved a little girl.
Alma is so sweet
loved to make her twirl.
Alone again tonight
Ramza and Alma embrace
Uber Squire and his Cleric sister
Letting Mbarrier wash away disgrace.
Even if you think Delita has the better wife
simply put, at least Ramza didn't catch a knife.

AlmasNo1Fan

A fan of Alma, is this a kind of joke
Little money, it's not funny
maybe you had too much to toke.
A fan of Alma, you're face should be red
sit down, do not clown
Now I hope this love is dead.
Oh, still a fan of Alma
1 more time, I will not Mime
For she is cold as Shiva.
A fan of Alma now lays dead
neutralize incest before it spreads.

Liam8

Level 8 Monk has some spunk
increasing the enemy with recreancy.
Alone in a fight, he'll be alright
My main guy TRC.
8ball in the hole.

_MorningStar

March on The Merchant City of Dorter
One goal on our mind
run away now, we'll kill you I vow
notch your eyes 'till your blind.
I saw your ass Wiegraf
now we are a party to your plot
get ready to fight, your sister was tight
Slaughter the Corpse Brigade 'till they rot.
Today we end this bloody game
and your head will be on a spike
rot in the ground, no piety is found, with each and every strike.

emotional28

Elmdor likes to suck,
my blood every night
offered his body to be used,
to the first Lucavi demon in sight.
Inside his castle at Limberry
Order of the Southern Sky he betrayed
Nanten's God Orlandu fought
and helped his body lay.
Lightning Stab!
---

PMarth2002

Prince Orinas is the true evil of this story
My thoughts have no doubt
absent from sight and ear
run away before he pouts.
Turn up arms and shields, and fight against this child
he who sins will always be lost, stop him before he goes wild.

RandomTask81

Reis Duelar, our sexy little beast
always helps my every need
Nelveska Temple we fought so hard
diverted her from Dragon breed.
Occult in every sense
my main girl in this game
Templar Knight, you have no right
A Beowulf only in name.
So Rise my sexy beast, please come to my bed
killing time by writing rhymes, for a true man you will wed.

tigerjackhammer

Time Mages make us quick
Ice with Wizards in the snow
Geomancers walk on lava
Every Priest helps our HP grow.
Rent or Steal stuff with Knights and Thieves
Jump with Lancers until they're dead
Accumulate with Rama's Squire
Calculators win the battle, if spells are left to spread.
Kill them far with Archer's bows
Hamedo on every Monk
and Dance or Sing the night away
Mystic Oracle makes them walk around drunk.
Mediator makes them switch sides
Every Summoner stands tall
Run them down with Nina fists, Mime will copy it all.

^I ran out of letters for all the jobs^

@Shotgunnova

Did one for me as well. Well, for my Usurpationblitz account -

U is for Uribo, a pint-sized marcher
S is for Stupidity, like that bowless archer
U is also for Uribo, tasty as bacon
R is for Rofel, a source of joke-makin'
P is for Payment, 700 ain't enough!
A is for Alma, her barrier's hot stuff
T is for Thief Hat, made of the roughest flannel
I is for Iga Knife, $5.95 on the Home Shopping Channel
O is for Oracle, they'll silence your voice
N is for Nagrarock, amphibian's choice
B is for Blood Suck, it only hurts once
L is for Larg, a gentrified dunce
I is for Icky, the marboro's embrace
T is for Time Mage, a big waste of space
Z is for Zalmo, he had a tight crew
F is for Finally, This Poem is Through
---

@Melanchthon made this one, if they're still around to be @'ed

Archers are Awesome, until you get Thieves
Geomancers are Graceful and stir up the leaves
Thieves are Thorough when stripping your gear
Priests are Predacious when armed with a spear
Mediators are Masters at raising your brave
Chemists are Champs at sending undead to the grave
Dancers are Dangerous and move with such grace
Oracles are Outrageous with a stick in your face
Knights are Knowledgeable but often abused
Ninjas are Nasty however theyre used
Mimes are mindless; they do as theyre told
Samurais are Strenuous, time-consuming and bold
Wizards are Wicked at sealing your fate
Calculators are Cautious and make everyone wait
Summoners are Superior and make enemies cry
Time Mages are Terrors when dropping rocks from the sky
Bards are Beneficial and stay in the back
Special classes are special (except for Malak)
Lancers are Leapers who make excellent tanks
Squires are Steppingstones and deserve our thank

Bold = my line. I think was taking advice from people who people were making up their own lines, but this got picked from me by them.
---

I wanna do one.

S is for Sacred, inspiring devotion
H is for Hi-Ether, politest of potions
O is for Odin, his cutlery's divine
T is for Triangle Hat, sine o' the times
G is for God, blame him or yourself
U is for Uribo, that meat is top shelf
N is for Nagrarock, hits like a gnat
N is for Nagrarock, but I already said that
O is for Olan, his Zodiac's a hint
V is for Vormav, dude's morally skint
A is for Algus, now out of print
---

Nice!

Mastering Knight was easy. Mastering Black Mage is the real grind and pain. No real need to rush because I don't want to be over leveled and not having the ready equipment.

Just remember both Jump 8s cover the rest. No need for the others

ffta > ffta2 >>>>>>>>>>> fft

The Advance games, while still great, are way too restrictive. You end up playing them the same way each time because so many jobs and abilities are gated to plot progression.

I tried replaying A2 recently and it was like...I'm doing exactly what I was doing last time I played. Unlock Green Mage after one or two story battles. Unlock the Counter ability once Adele joins, the ability to mass-purchase Chainmail before the Flowsand Lord. At least the auction house gives you shit that lets you get better things early on, but even then a bunch of classes and two entire fucking races are gated to when you reach far enough.

If I want to make a jumping Ninja and a singing Mediator to invite foes to my team and charm them, I can do that before reaching the third plot battle in FFT. In fact, I can do literally fucking everything before then. The only two moves I can't get in chapter 1 are Zodiac and Ultima, everything else is fair game. If I wanna rush right to Flare or Holy or Bahamut, I can do that right away if I so choose. The game is my bitch and I do what I want with it.

Tying abilities to weapons and making some classes unlockable is just tedious. What's more, splitting classes between races just means you'll never be able to combine some classes. You can't have a Gunner/Gladiator build because one of those jobs is exclusive to Moogles and the other Bangaas. Why? What's the point of gating our progression like that? Why can't I fucking do what I want?
