From: Evan Springler A GUIDE TO BUILDING AN AWESOME FINAL FANTASY TACTICS PARTY: ************************************************************************************************* CONTENTS ************************************************************************************************* 1. Starting Out 2. Tips for battle 3. Final Jobs of the allies 4. Final Equipment of the allies 5. Final abilities of the allies 6. The long trip through jobs 7. Credits ************************************************************************************************* 1. STARTING OUT ************************************************************************************************* This is optional. What I do whenever I start a new FFT file, is I have characters from FF4(FF2 in North America) in my party. There is no glitch or anything, I just make the allies with the character name have the same job and abilities as that character, with a few extra abilities. (Defense Skill, Auto Skill, Moving Skill) Anyway, I always make sure I have at least five allies for battle before doing this... I save up my gil, and hire new allies one at a time. Two males, and two females at the soldiers' office. With the males, look for high brave(65-70), With the females, look for high faith(65-70). This is because the males are gonna be for fighting and the females are gonna be for magic casting. Anyway, I name Ramza, Cecil, I name one male, Kain, I name the other male Edge, I name one female Rosa, and I name the other one Rydia. As soon as you have the five for your final party, fire everyone else, except for the five. I will refer to the final five as Kain, Cecil, Edge, Rosa and Rydia. ************************************************************************************************* 2. TIPS FOR BATTLE ************************************************************************************************* -If you look at "The Long trip through jobs" sectiond, you'll see many people may have the same job at the same time. Some jobs may cause ultra frustration(chemist, summoner, mediator, etc.) if you put three or more allies with that job at one time. If this is giving you problems, then just have one or two allies with this job at the same time. It happened to me before. -Always have a large supply of potions. Having these potions could be vital for loooong battles in which you get JP for learning spells and moves. When you can, bring the potions up one level (buy Hi-Potions instead of Potions, buy X-Potions instead of Hi-Potions) -Give the best weapons to the bravest allies. -When equipping on the women, don't just look at the HP increase, look at the MP increase too. -When equipping on the men, just look at the HP increase. -If you have your lancer and Samurai finished, and there aren't any swords or spears, learn some Auto Skills to equip weapons, or have the strength of a monk(Ex. Equip Sword, Martial Arts) -When you have a job that only allows you to equip crappy weapons, use the skills from the above tip. ************************************************************************************************* 3.
