Final Fantasy Hacktics

I haven't looked at the 5.1 version, but classic, IMO is a little better.

I always wanted to run WotG with FFT+, but decided to DD instead. But I'm currently doing WotG with Celdia's Complete patch though - with all of the changes to jobs/items/battles, etc, makes things a lot more interesting (and more difficult, IMO)

As far as the WotG challenge is going, very tough times are ahead.

Ok, so it was relatively smooth sailing up until Bariaus Hill. Had a hard time, but managed to beat it. Next, Golgorand. Really tough fight, but managed to win it. Then Outside Lionel. Was complete hell. Toreros + Lapidaries = GG. Or so I thought, because I still managed to beat it somehow. Then Zalmo. So much AoE in that fight it's ridiculous. Not to mention that wall. That wall is a million times worse than Zalmo. I couldn't even get to him without being wiped. But still, even through all of that, I still managed to win. Sheer luck.

Which brings me to this point. If it wasn't for one particular item, this challenge would have been over with. That item? Good ol' Number 9.

So, now I'm at UBS2. Challenge is looking to be over right here as there's Toreros & Vanquishers, the worst combo in existence. And the worst thing: they have Maiden Charms. The one Loremaster I'm not worried about too much, but the Toreros & Vanquishers are the ultimate combo of death. Team eats 3 Terminars + 2 Holy Crosses/Hydro Storms before anyone can move. Gonna tinker with some setups, but right now, it isn't looking too good. I think my best bet is to bring Soulshield + Move-MP Up, but I dunno how far that will get me. I'm gonna keep trying it, though; maybe I'll have to keep resetting until one or two of those Toreros bring something other than Maiden Charm.

In short, the next few videos are going to be interesting (fails recorded, too).

After all that thanking, I feel a little bad to say I don't think I'll be able to do the matches after all.

Evidently I got just a little too eager to help out without preparing first. I've done videos from SNES and Sega emulators, but this is the first time I tried to do a video with ePSXe. I assumed that the PSX would demand a bit more RAM, but I've actually gotten a better computer since back when I did my old Sega videos, so I didn't anticipate quite the level of slow-down that I'm getting if I run CamStudio and ePSXe at the same time. In addition my new (and supposedly "better") computer doesn't have the stereo mix recording option, forcing me to do an awkward work-around with a stereo cable. And CamStudio started throwing me some weird audio errors when the video got too long.

So, unless someone has some tips for making CamStudio (or an alternative screen recorder) play nicely with ePSXe (or an alternative emulator), I regret to say I won't be able to record matches after all.

My new comp is the same way - no stereo mix option. CamStudio is always going to error in that case, so what I did was switch over to Camtasia Studio. Recommend either 6.0 or 8.0, as the 7, series tends to crash at certain times. Either that, or you could try Fraps.

Reks vs SoySauceMaster (Tart-ery)

Vigilanti vs SoysauceMaster (Buffin to Tuffin)

Reks vs. Dol

Rest are uploading...

Oh, now this is great stuff. Will definetly give this a go.

Yeah, I'll add your teams along with the others. I've got jury duty today, so the next vids might not be up until Sunday.

EDIT: Reks, your second archer for Severe Weather Alert is over the cap by 150.

Barren vs Fanatic

Fanatic vs SoySauceMaster

More to come a bit later; specifically Vigilanti's, Angelus's and DomieV's new teams.

I'm all for it. They'd probably need more to their skillsets (Ultima would need some type of Holy-elemental skill, for instance), but would be awesome if implemented.

I think finding the items is the point of the Deep Dungeon. This is evidenced by the fact that the Dungeon is completely Dark. If forces the player to search around blindly. Isn't there a hack that turns the lights back on in the DD? Is it possible to do this on the random battles only? That would even things up a bit.

Agreed. They should stay in the DD. Otherwise, there's not much of a point.

As for the lights thing, I think LFT did something like that - I remember there being a crystal in an unreachable panel lighting up each floor. So I don't see why it couldn't be done for FFT Plus as well.

My masochistic side is itching to get out, so I'm now attempting War of the Gods with the patch. Wish me luck. I don't see me getting past Bariaus Hill, though. Those Lapidaries.

It's just crashing after each recording, forcing me to reopen it and recover the video.

But I fixed it now, so I'm good to go again.

Having some issues with Camtasia, so I won't be able to record anything until it's fixed. It decides to screw with me now all of a sudden, and I don't know why.

I can get to it sometime tomorrow.

I'll take over for you, Barren.

As far as I know, Perform isn't affected by Precision. Would be pretty broken if it was, though.

That reminds me, my second team could use a bit of testing, as well.

Thanks for the videos!

spoiler

That Priest is being dumb as bricks. I wonder if Quick itself would be better than Last Song.

Yep, no problem. Matches are up, by the way.

Eternal vs. Barren

Eternal vs. Celdia

Nope I haven't started yet. But I'll have some time to record the matches tonight.
