#finalfantasytacticsadvance — Public Fediverse posts

So, I decided today, after plugging away at some of the awkward missable achievements (achievements you can get locked out from doing due to progression and must start a new game to get another chance to get), i sped through the last few story missions.

This wasn't so bad because after recruiting Lini, the special Moogle who comes with Ultima charge, I was effectively able to OHKO most enemies at range with the Gunner class.

I feel every time I bring up #FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance I find myself doggedly defending it as a "good game".
The game is best played casually. Playing it as part of #RetroAchievements is quite draining, made more draining by the fact I still have a truck load of things to do... But... I think for my own sanity, I might park this one until I do clean-up next year.

I appreciate I brought this on myself.
I wanted to play a Strategy RPG, and I ignored the perfectly acceptable suggestion of Devil Survivor.

Just realised that my proof of life has been worse than a certain Kentucky Senator.

Buyer's remorse is settling in on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
This is mostly because going for that 100% completion is proving to be a greater slog than I had remembered.

The game is still good and enjoyable, and now that my Ninja has double sword, my Moogle Gunner has the concentrate skill (increases accuracy) and my Red Mage Summoner can double cast summons, the only thing that is being a thorn in my side is the occasional law.

A part of me wants to endeavour to finish it before the end of the month, this was so I could spend September revisiting some previously beaten games and tidying those up a little bit...
We shall see. I may need to park FFTA, but we shall see what happens over the next week or so.

So, the Steal: Ability skill in #FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance is ridiculous.

Just wholesale learning a bunch of skills by stealing them opponents instead of grinding AP. Sure it doesn't work for the Support or Reaction abilities, but it is a massive time saver for any Human or Moogle characters in the game, it makes getting advanced jobs nice and quick.

Watch out, Kupo!
Montblanc is packing heat, Kupo!

I love the Moogle Gunner class, it feels like something that is patently absurd. Sure, Moogles also get the Tinker class, so we can probably assume that Moogles are inventors and crafty, a bit like Gnomes in Pathfinder.

I mean, I will never turn down a line of sight attack with good range and once I get the support skill concentrate, my Gunner will essentially have 100% accuracy on all weapon based attacks. This includes the Moogle Knight skill Ultima attack.
So, for a hefty MP cost, Montblanc will essentially have an "erase" button when it comes to enemies with low or moderate health.

The builds you can achieve in this game are hilarious.

I should also note, being able to arm a Moogle with a blunderbust was noticeably absent from Final Fantasy 12. Proving that FFTA's Ivalice is best Ivalice.

So, I stumbled into my first problematic Final Fantasy Tactics Advance battle.

In FFTA, there are laws in place that prohibit certain actions, such as using items, or a certain type of elemental attack. Breaking these rules can land a character in prison, and it will cost to get them released. If your main character is arrested, it is game over.

Anyway. Was doing a skirmish because I was low on money, and I need that money to take quests.

The prohibited action on that skirmish was the use of Swords.
Two of my five active party members use swords.
The other 3, are an archer, a black mage and a white mage.

This was a terrible, early game situation to be in, not impossible, just a little tedious. Once I get more skills, I can use those to circumvent laws against certain weapon types.

The laws system in FFTA certainly adds a level of spice to every battle.

So, I caved.

I apologise @COMPU73E but I did pick up Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to play, but I have A LOT of unfinished business with Devil Survivor, it is on the list and I'll see if I get to it this year...

I forgot how FFTA smacks you over the head with pity for the protagonists.
Mewt is a shy, maybe slightly awkward, kid who is bullied and has a struggling Dad following his Mother's death.
Ritz feels the need to dye her hair, as it is white despite her young age.
The player character doesn't have a Dad, and his you get brother is in a wheelchair.

It's no wonder these children revel in the escapism they find themselves in when they are transported to Ivalice.

All in all, it feels great to step back into something so familiar. I know I am going to have a great time with this game.

I'm sure there's a completely heterosexual explanation for why Ritz has joined a clan entirely composed of hot bunny girls and is staunchly against anything ruining that arrangement. They are clearly great friends. #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance
