Final Fantasy Tactics: The ILOICE Chronicles It is a remake of one of the most famous and influential strategic RPGs in history and tells the story of noble youth, whose paths and situations have prepared a way to a clearer future for the country of Ialice. As Ramza, you are entrusted with the leadership of a group of people, all brave fighters, to win.
Tactics are also known as a quite difficult game and a very good reason. You are opposed to incredibly hard enemies, swarms of difficult mooks and a system of character development that can be more complicated than you could even expect for a 90's mechanics. Here's what you need to know before you dive.
Zodiac understanding
The Zodiac It plays a gentle but important role in battle. Each unit, both on your side and the enemy, is assigned and zodiac sign. When two units interact with an attack or magic, the result is affected The relationship between their signs. Each sign has two grades that they have 'good“Relationship with, two grades it has”bad' The relationship of sa of one sign that will either give him The best relationship or the worst relationship based on gender.
Good zodiac compatibility provides bonus to damage and accuracy, while poor compatibility causes punishment. You can check the unit brand on the construction screen and plan your strategy accordingly.

If you want recommendations for Ramza's best zodiac signwe recommend Virgin for the best compatibility with special units that could connect or Capricorn For better compatibility with some complex enemies!
Beware of Permadeath with special units
Permadeath is a tough reality in Final Fantasy. After death, the units will have Timer of three hearts over their bodiesWhich always decreases by one heart by They got a thrust based on their speed. If they receive a turn on the zero heart, they turn into a crystal or chest and are permanently removed from the game.
This is particularly important for Mustadio, a character that is accepted in chapter 2Because his survival is a requirement for recruiting a number of other special characters later in the game. Always Prefer to maintain these unique characters aliveBecause their unique abilities and the development of the story are invaluable.
Personally, if any of my units is crystallized, it is an immediate reset.
Where do statistics come from
Units' statistics are a combination of two things: their Basic statistics and their device. While the unit is Physical and magical attack and speed grow after equalizationunit HP and MP are almost completely designed for their equipment.
This means that the character is Growth of labor statistics It is more important than the game could leave. Balancing in tasks that have the best statistics growthWith regard to your unit's plans, it is a good way to make sure they are on top of their game. For example, if the unit is intended to become a physical unit with a hard -to -hit, make sure they get the best possible levels at work such as Knight or Samurai, is a good idea, avoiding the level of work that you could only develop for skills.
This also means that if you are fighting low health or mages that run too fast, you may have problems with equipment.
-
Make sure you are Maintaining an update with the best equipment When stores get new goods and make sure you are preparing the best pieces when you get them.
- Do not rely on the Optimize command alone. This is especially true for mages because the command likes to focus on HP, while the best magical equipment trades HP for MP and Magic Boost.
A small remark about statistics that is important to keep in mind is that there is a key Gender differences In FFT. Male units have a higher physical attackwhile Female units have a higher magic attack.
This does not mean that male units create bad mages and female units create bad physical fighters, but excel and hit higher numbers if they stick to their strengths.
Ramz's uniqueness
While the rest of your starting team has a fixed sex that determines their growth statistics, Ramza is a special case.
Although to be a man, Its rate of magical growth growth is identical to the level of female units. As a result, he is unique and able to excel on any class route, be it a powerful physical striker or a devastating magician.
Because its statistics growth is so balanced and favorable, Ramza can be incredibly flexible, depending on how you equalize it.
Best use for errands
Errands that are accessible through Taverns from Chapter 2 FurtherIt can be an excellent way to get another gil, but also have a more strategic purpose. They are the best way to get JP for general units VA work they wouldn't normally exercise or to help them to achieve advanced tasks faster without having to fight like them.
This is particularly useful for acquiring skills for arithmeticWhich is notorious to cope in battle because of its incredibly low speed. By strengthening the generic unit for errands, while in arithmetic work, they get JP without having to risk the battlefield, allowing you to learn your valuable (read: broken) skills more easily.
Using monsters? Do not neglect BeastMaster
If you are planning Incorporation You should not neglect your party BeastMaster's ability to. This ability of support, learned by Laird Job, will give any monsters standing near the unit access to special abilities based on what type of monster is.
This can mean a huge difference in the output of damage or the general usefulness of the monster, which is much more viable in the battle.
The monster must be within one tile and three units after a Beastmaster height to unlock its ability!
JP Boost is your best friend
The JP Support Support Supports the ability to support It is undoubtedly one of the most important skills in the game. This ability, which has also learned from the role of Squire, increases the amount of JP you get after each action.
Because JP is a currency for learning new skills and unlocking new jobs, it will have this ability equipped on all your units drastically speed up. It should be one of the first abilities you will learn for each individual unit on your side, especially if you hatch goals for advanced work right from the start of the game.
Bravery and faith can be developed
Statistics of bravery and belief of the unit are not planted in stone. While the character has the default bravery and statistics of faith, it can be Permanently changed using the sermon and praise of the mediator abilities
The bravery or belief of the unit will be After each battle in which he was raised by four or more points. Similarly, the brave or belief of the unit will be permanently reduced by a single point after each battle in which it was reduced by four or more points. This allows you to fine -tune your characters to suit your needs.
For information, higher bravery will create you Reaction skills more reliable and higher faith will increase Damage that is modified by magic spells.
Although it may seem strange, there they are Really reasons you may want to reduce the bravery or belief of the unit:
-
The Reduce the unit's bravery, Better will get rare objects using treasure hunting. It is a niche and one that fits Raph, a special character that connects to the story and begins with very low bravery. Be careful, because units whose bravery decreases too low will leave your party permanently!
-
The Reduce the unit's belief, minor damage that causes magical attacks. If you have units that will be never Relying on faith due to its usefulness in battle, the reduction of their faith makes it difficult to kill!
Your initial group may not be permanent
Although you may seem to be stuck with your initial general units, it is not a permanent accessory to your party. The game allows you to hire new units on the guild of any warriorand these new units can have a lot A wider range of brave and beliefs and specific zodiacs than your initial group.
If your initial units have unfavorable brave and default values of faith, do not hesitate to release and hire new ones that are more suitable for the roles you mean. If the units available on the warrior guild are not to your liking, simply end and re -enter!
