WOAT opinion right here
That's not Delita.
We may disagree with some things, but I'm with you on this one. And technically he was also in FFT on the PSP version, so it's doubly accurate.

ff12 may be one of the worst FFs, but balthier was fantastic

Ramza was the villian. Delita was the hero.

I've never played Tactics. So...I have a hard time telling if this is a joke.
That's the beauty of FFT's story.

How could you perceive Ramza as the villain? Slaying demonic entities bent on ruling the world usually gives you a check in the "Good Guy" box.
He wasn't fantastic. He was one of two characters with any personality throughout the entire game. The bar was set so low that Squall would have added color to the cast. How this one-line-man is so popular confuses me. Everything he does is predictable, and has as much intrigue as a groin punch in a teenage comedy.
He's kinda like the Dark Knight of FF.

You should fix that at your earliest convenience.

I played it 6 years ago. Still holds up extremely well.
Calculators are the best thing ever in a Tactics game. I wish the game gave you a readily available spreadsheet of targets based on your choice, though, rather than having to click everyone individually.
Dude, read your history books. The church is never wrong.

Nine gameplay showing a lot of her spells off:

Well, it is digital chess, which isn't for everyone.
I don't know what to do with this.
Man, she looks awesome. I've never felt the "magic user" archetype has been done well in a fighter, but she looks great.
Too bad I hate this series. :/

Team Ninja does right and does wrong today. That said not surprising. Lightning is awesome I just think all hate should go to Toriyama and not Lightning.
But Toriyama made Lightening.

i u wanna see some salt mines hit up the DOAX3 thread and check the gray names, lmao

Gah, she looks so good! The wait is going to be quite hard.
Already closed, lol.

Ferdinand Proche made Volkswagen.
But really I think the character concept is fine just Toiriyama needs to be put with Jay Wilson somewhere.
I bet you niggas expected me to post in there.

I really am impressed. She has a massive toolset, and even her low level spells are useful. Her spell design is significantly better than Dormammu's.
Why do you hate BB?
I might import. SFV isn't half as interesting to me now, lol.

I don't hate it. I just can't make anime games make sense to me. The only one that ever has is Xrd.
There are two characters in Central Fiction that I like, though, so I might make a try of it again.
Nine looks amazing to me. I LOVE magic users.

Mike Ross has evolved into mixtape.
I'll stop trolling and get into potential spoilers for FFT, so I'll hide it under spoiler tags.
Tl;Dr, I was making a dumb joke about FFT story lore. ;p

the game is actually presented in storybook format with a narrator telling a story about a 'hidden' part of history. That story was about Ramza and his involvement in the War of the Lions and the demons. But the story was a heretical version that was against the church that painted many of their members as literal demons that wanted to destroy the world. Even if that was the truth, the church couldn't let that stand.
So the church instead picked a young and charismatic hero from a poor background to build a narrative around, which was Delita. That is why Delita is the hero, and Ramza, the heratic is the villian, at least according to the church.

Oh! I forgot that tidbit.
Is the second character Hibiki? Seems like your type.
I'll grind it out with you, if you want.
I would pretend that there are 4 characters I would try in this game, but I know myself too well. Nine's aesthetics are too on point to ignore.

Drugged up on cough syrup, coughing my eyes out while I grind out SF33S.
I'd kill for a Street Fighter Alpha 2 online.

Real talk Team Ninja needs to put that ass tech into Tifa for Dissidia. Just for salt.
It exposed a lot of dumbassery in such a small amount of time lol
Yep. And Bang, of course, who I have used before.
Lots of cool characters in BB, just never got the gameplay to click.
Nine is exciting, though. Love the aesthetic, her animations, and the magic.
It's one of the most popular RPG series ever, fighting game fans typically like japanese games, and FF was the thing to play when most of us were in our teens. Why would that surprise you?
Edit: Just downloaded FFT:WotL to my phone. Going to replay this ish.

Everyone here needs to play Tactics Ogre. Also, FFT owns.
Checked the DOA3X thread. I'm disappointed. I was expecting a graveyard based on Sixteen-Bit's words. You owe me a graveyard!
I don't know. I guess that makes sense. It just bothers me how I feel left out
I've had Tactics Ogre on my PSP (now Vita) for years and it's still untouched. Can't push myself to try it.

Should try some out sometime. There are a lot of good ones to choose from, they've aged okay for the most part, and the remakes help too.
I finished VI on the GBA IV on the DS. Both were pretty fun. Tried playing X on the PSV but it didn't click with me and I had to stop later.

The great thing about FFT is that it's awesome. The enhanced port on PSP/Mobile is great with a new translation that, while a bit overwrought, is super good. UI is a bit clunky compared to modern SRPGs, but it is still one of the best in its genre and absolutely worth playing.
Go do it.

You need to correct this when you're not practicing your fightan game.

So...it really true that fighting game skills are transferable from game to game. I've never been this good at 3S ever.
It already exists with Fightcade. But player count is pretty low.
Basic skills always transfer. Sometimes they just need a translation to the different mechanics.
FFT is fairly easy to break but that's part of why it's fun. It's extra hilarious if you level up too soon before you have access to good gear for your classes, level 99 chocobos in random encounters will completely destroy you.
I've had Tactics Ogre on PSP forever, it's constantly in the top 5 or so games in my backlog I want to get to but it keeps not happening. I started up Trails in the Sky finally right before Fallout 4 hit, as soon as I'm done with Fallout I'm going back to that to try to finish it ASAP since I'm probably getting Xenoblade Chronicles X as soon as it comes out. Tactics Ogre and TitS have been two of my backlog white whales for years and years, in part because I find the PSP to be a really uncomfortable system to use and I also don't have a Vita. But I got a PSTV on the cheap a while back and I have a PC monitor I can use with it so it doesn't look super bad (I can only imagine what PSP/PS1 games look like on a full-size HDTV) so I'm using that now to finally get through these.

Yup I at least play almost everything for at least a month, no gameplay surprises me or gives me trouble grasping what they expect anymore.

Funnily, I no longer see the parry system as a positive. I'm glad SFV doesn't have it. I think air guard is sufficient.
