Final Fantasy Hacktics

I'm game too

I'm definitely making a Barren-themed team for it..

Great thanks to the video hosts and tournament help. It was fun tournament.




Edit: If FFH Olympics looks similar it's b/c I basically made a last second rehash of The Hype is Real...
I was original trying to make 1.4 version of Windly Embrace but I scrapped it at the last minute b/c I didn't feel it would be balanced enough to face the various different teams.

I've got some catching up to do here: It's been a great tournament so far thanks for the videos guys.

One thing I forgot to mention is that Mimes From Hell can easily backfire on me. As sometimes the mimes will glitch and get stuck on the sing/dance/item animations when they attack...rendering them useless.

Thanks for the exhibition matches Truelight!

I'm still mulling over Blackmail/Mimic Daravon vs quickening/gil toss/steal heart. Decisions, Decisions.

Yeah the thing you have to watch out for is that Berserked units don't care if a teammate or obstacle is in the way of his/her intended target, they'll attack anyhow. You can mitigate that though by designing the team so the gunner/xbower usually stays in the front lines or giving him/her like teleport and/or allies projectile guard. Longbows will shoot around obstacles/allies. Meatbone slash also has the same issue when it comes to wanting to the use it on ranged weapons.

I have some teams in the middle of processing, I haven't decided which one to go with yet.

I have a geo on one of my beta test teams that uses the top 4 punch art skills pretty effectively, I think paladin (little less power tanky version), lancers (speed and/or power) or thieves (due to speed) can use those monk skills pretty well too. Also the nice thing about spin fist now is that it's smart targeting so pair it with 1 or 2 mimes and some pa stackage (sing or basic skill)........

*squires too^

I can help with some of the recording. Now it's either I can make the tournament discussion for 6pm to 7ish & miss most of the stream or I won't make it until 9ish. It depends how things here shake out.

I think don't move already allows reactions.

I'm ok with the 1st part and undecided on the 2nd part. Don't move can do a good job of disrupting teams as is if set up good and most people don't guard against it. Units are basically a sitting duck and if one of their teammates is in need of healing/revival....

I like refresh and sap. Sap also doubles as part of ff lore too.

I didn't know Tactics ogre picked up the bags for you I always went around and collected them all....

I've gotten into it about a month ago and been playing it on & off since then. I've split my time between that, here, fallout shelter, dungeon boss, and dragon's dogma.

Fantasy War Tactics is one of those f2p/p2w* iPhone/blue stacks games similar to fftactics style gameplay.  IIRC I believe in the introductory sequence they even state the gamemaking was inspired by fftactics. The 1st hero you get looks similar to Agrias(def not same personality). You can even send people out on propositions, they call'em expeditions.

You fight in a grid layout like tactics with bonuses for hitting in the back/sides. Characters also get bonuses from attacking from certain tile types. There's also paper/Rock/scissors to it also, some characters are paper type or rock type... etc.

You can't really select skills/abilities for characters. It's more ff6 style where characters are already set w/ their personal skill sets, there's just a bunch of characters to choose and you unlock more of their skills as you build them up. Also certain characters will have better comparability/affinities with other characters.

You can setup combos with the attacks/skills....
Like say if your paladin/knight type is about to hit an enemy next to him 1-panel range and if that enemy unit is also within range of a 2-range spear type user, an archers attack, and an AoE Magic users range then all four of your allies will attack that enemy.

You yourself are a called a lord and has map-wide abilities once the meter thing gets built up.

Biggest awkward thing about the game is that it feels like a horny ex-street fighter person designed the look of the characters. One of the enemy units has a pretty ridiculous Cami/mileena type outfit. It's not too bad I guess, just awkward for this kind of game.

The story part of the game though is going for more of a comedic approach. Like your character is actually actively trying to conquer the world and the other "bad" characters are in the way of that plan. Like you obviously can't conquer the world if someone else destroys it first....so you have to stop them.

  *(I haven't had to worry about p2w yet...i don't think it's necessary I think it just speeds the process up)

How about a gimmicky idea like everyone makes two units ( 2 twins, 2 SCC,  or 2 normal) then they get listed and paired up(RNG'ed or other type of selection process) with another players two units.

Since everyone would be paired up it would cut down the number of videos needed for a quicker tournament and give some more time to work out kinks before the bigger tournament.
