Final Fantasy Hacktics

Quote from: SirAdder on June 18, 2025, 01:04:45 amIf you want a mod that has the vanilla PSP FFT feel while adding difficulty and additional stuff, this is the one. Some of Multiplayer stuff can be gotten through single player though you still need to use multiplayer to get ALL of the stuff which is not hard if you have two devices linked together.

In terms of difficulty, I do love how every battle has a mini boss even the ones that usually don't in the vanilla FFT. Grinding isn't a chore anymore due to innate JP Boost.
Lots of new abilities and features to overcome this difficult mod, nothing too crazy about the difficulty compared to the other mods I played with.

The hardest of the mod fights are more of a puzzle than a brute force fiasco. No major bugs or glitches when I played this. I would say this is the best PSP FFT Mod for me.

Also a couple questions for the mod creator, why was there an edit recently as of the timing of this post, did you add a new download or just editing some texts? Secondly, is this called the Unreal Mod or the Ramza has Blade of Ruin Mod, I get confused with this.

I just edit to change the title of the post and nothing more lol
I think I had done everything I love to see in FFT (especially with Archer and all the debuff abilities) so there's probably no further update unless you give me some funny ideas!
You can call this Unreal mod or Ramza has Blade of Ruin. I just happened to use UnrealPH as my name lol
Glad that you were having fun playing!

They are so good! Can I use your sprites?

I just wanna play with Zalbaag skills and end up adding a lot of changes to it.

How to patch is already included in the RAR.

THIS MOD IS QUITE DIFFICULT.

Hint: Debuff is very powerful in this mod. If u find yourself a wall then a little grind for Debuff jobs such as Mystic and Orator (or the overlooked Toad spell from Black Mage) will do the trick. There are no walls that can not be climb in this mod (Except bonus bosses and Wiegraf that are delibirately very difficult but they are still vulnerable to some debuffs).

After the taste of power from the very first battle you will have to relearn it. The skills are under Ramza basic Squire job. Meaning that the second battle in the Magic City of Gariland you will not have them so do not panic.
I made some buff for the skills.

From chapter 2 onward the enemies will scale with you (their equipments are also better than base game for the most cases). Try not to go overboard with your grinding on chapter 1 or else you will die almost instantly on the very first battle of chapter 2.

WHAT CHANGED?
========GENERAL
RAMZA HAS BLADE OF RUIN (pretty obvious lol) and it is better than base game!
1. All jobs have innate abilities. Check them in the job requirements menu or press SELECT at the Party Roster then click on the job's name to check.
2. All story battle will have at least 1 boss enemy.
3. There is NO easy story battle.
4. Everything that the base game does not tell can be found in the related job.
5. All weapons have their damage formulae display.
6. Buff to all shitty rare items. (Ex. Staff of the Magi has 19% to cast Zodiark on hit, Luminous Robe is not just a plain robe anymore.)
7. Enemies will start using uber gears at level 40. Good news is that you can steal them. Bad news is that they are very strong.
8. Some items from Multiplayer mode are swap in for fun.
9. 2nd and 3rd tier monsters will have at least 3 skills and they will have very high HP on higher level. 1st tier monsters are a little bit more stronger.
10. Starting from chapter 3, some green dots will have special battle. (U can check in the text file.)
11. All errands are now 2 days. (Too bothersome with little rewards.)
12. Bequeath Bacon no longer crystalized the user. It will just K.O. so you can finally leveling Master Onion Knight with a pig and 99 revive.
13. Starting from chapter 2, all green dots will randomly have some humanoid enemies (some are undead).
14. New skillset for Archer.

========JOB
1. JP Boost is always active. All abilities are discount by 40-50% from base game for less grinding. Have fun!
2. Need Squire/Chemist level 3 to advance to 2nd tier jobs.
3. Counter is now learn from Squire and Equip Axe is now learn from Geomancer.
4. Geomancer abilities have +1 vertical range.
5. Growth rate for PA related jobs will focuses on HP and PA while all spellcasters are now focuses on MP and MA.
6. Speed growth for most jobs are the same but Archer, Monk, Thief and Ninja are higher respectively.
7. Special characters will join with more jobs unlock so that u can field them right away with some changes:
          Agrias : High MP, PA and MA (because she is the best waifu).
          Mustadio : Average but he has Safeguard and Barrage.
          Rapha and Marach : Very high growth rates overall because they are gifted assassin, right?
          Orlandeau : The same but he has Concentration!
          Meliadoul : High HP and hit hard as always.
          Beowulf : More tanky.
          Reis : OP character as always.
          Balthier : Lower speed growth and got Ignore Elevation instead of Safeguard.
          Luso : Can equip almost everything and have Ultima2, Divine Ultima and BEQUEATH BACON
          Automaton and Byblos : More Speed.
          CLOUD IS GOD
8. Dancer and Bard has same support abilities (Move&Jump +3), HP Boost to Dragoon and Fly to Mystic.
9. Dark Knight can now learn Master Teleportation and Instant Charge (2000 JP).
10. Master Onion Knight is now the strongest job bar none. Comes with 5 purposedly OP abilities that will make the entire party unstoppable.
11. Dancer/Bard have their base stats increased but growth rates remain as shitty as base game for min-maxing purpose!
12. Dance and Sing are faster! No more waiting 10 turns for their ultimates!
13. Slightly increased Arithmetician speed.
14. Mime has very high base stats and can be use for min-maxing even better. Mimic can copy ALL ABILITIES known to human characters (special characters included!).
15. All status effect abilities have higher success rates. Good when you use. Bad when the enemies use!
16. All jobs now have higher C-EV. Encouraging players to go around them and be more careful about positioning.
17. Some of Reis abilities can work on all allies intead of just dragon.
18. All special swordskills are no longer require sword equip but with shorter range for most skills. Dark Knight skills remain the same because the job is very hard to unlock.
19. Rework to Archer. Still has the aiming ability but the entire skillset is infinitely more useful. (Aiming has visual bug but the damage is still correctly done so no problem at all.)
    - Name change to Marksman
    - Can not use shield
    - Can use gun

====================================================================================
Special Battle!!!
====================================================================================
******Very special battle at Mount Bervenia (where u get Cloud's sword). Fight against 4 super strong NPCs!  (Bring 1 Mystic or Beowulf or u will die!)
        - Master Ladd. Ladd from the far future come back to challenge you! Do not disappoint him! Show him your motivation!
        - That one Archer that forgot his bow on chapter 1 at Dorter! This time he is a Monk now and he is very angry!
        - J7Jase. The FFT content creator that truly love this gem! He sent his avatar into this mod to test your strenght! Give him your all! And go check out his channel on YouTube!
        - Leos Klein. He stream every day on YouTube (09:00 GMT+2). This guy love to exploit the hell out of the games he played and eventhough he is a newbie at FFT he still beat this bullshit difficulty mod without a sweat!  Check out his channel on YouTube
Rewards: Javelin2, Escutcheon2, Dagger2 and Master Ladd's Cape!

===This is the most hardest battle. Required all sort of exploitations and best possible gears for the entire team!!!


  1. Special battle to Entice Delita, Ovelia, Izlude, Wiegraf, Olan and Balmafula in one of the random battle at Midlight's Deep (aka Deep Dungeon)
          - The Crevasse: Wiegraf and Izlude
          - The Stair: Olan and Balmafula
          - The Hollow: Delita and Ovelia
          - The Switchback: Algus (He has no new special ability but his base Squire has the best stat growth. Even better than Master Onion Knight!)
                  = Algus battle is very special. This is the second most hardest battle but also the easiest out of the 3 super hard battles if u know their weaknesses.
            (Delita, Izlude and Wiegraf do not have model for Party Roster menu and Deploy menu so they will appeared as another model but no problem in battle at all.)

  2. Chapter 3 Dolvauldar March West (Dancers, Bards and Mime with Ultimate)
  3. Chapter 4 Mandalia Plains South (Very Strong Dragoons. A tribute to J7Jase)
  4. Chapter 3 Araguay Woods West (All Dragons)
  5. Chapter 4 Bddha Sandwaste South (All Red Dragons)
  6. Chapter 3 Balias Tor North (All Dark Knights)
  7. Chapter 4 Dorvauldar Marsh East (Very Strong Summoners)
  8. Chapter 3 Lenalian Plateau South (7 Female Archers)
  9. Chapter 3 Balias Tor South (10 very strong Geomancers and Ninjas)
  10. Chapter 3 Balias Swale East - The third hardest battle in this mod. (Very strong Mystics and White Mages with some twist from J7Jase video lol) This battle is VERY HARD. Just reload the game if u are not ready.)

/////// Delita come with one special ability to debuff all enemies.
/////// Wiegraf come with some of Beowulf abilities, too.
/////// Izlude got new set of Swordskills.
/////// Balmafula got some boss only abilities and one unique ability.
/////// Olan is already OP so there is no change.


(Invisibility Cloak become one of a kind item.)

Hey there! I made a default text file for all of you!

You can edit them to your liking and apply to the PSP iso ULUS-10297 without fail. I tested it using FFTactext version 494.

Follow this link: https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=13043.0

Have fun modding!

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-aAEhg65zgUu2JsdhF2DFtBRHC7lEBRy?usp=sharing

I do not know if anyone has done this before but I see that a lot of people still have error problem with applying custom text using FFTactext. So I made this file for you! (Actually it was for my personal use lol)

You can edit the text as much as you like and apply it to your PSP iso without fail! Source: Trust me, bro!

Both files in the link and attachment are the same.

Tested using FFTactext from the latest patcher version 494.

Must be use on ULUS-10297. (Clean or edited does not matter.)

I add damage formulae of all weapons and edit some skillset, job, special effect to be more clearer.

Quote from: xenor879 on December 12, 2021, 06:10:43 amIs it possible for you to make it in an PPF type file? I play wotl on mobile and I don't have a working computer right now.

Sorry I can't do that. I use PPSSPP (GOLDDDDD) to play on my android phone and has no problem to speak of.

PPSSPP is your way to go, sir!

Quote from: LV99 Vivi on October 10, 2021, 02:40:39 pmis wotl better now or something?

It is still hard to mod but I like to mess with the new job so I use this version instead.

Quote from: Feuholden on September 15, 2021, 07:16:09 amAccess to the path D:/blabla/FFT Iso is denied...

That's weird. Did u use a clean ULUS -10297?

I think the theory about Delita cutting Valmafra's tongue is totally bullshit. He need her to keep contact with the church until the very end. Cutting her tongue off is obviously a sign of his betrayal. Delita is a man with honey tongue it is easier for him to convince Valmafra to work for him given that he spare her life and her own swaying in loyalty. (If she's full on church ideal she could have stab Delita without hesitation.)

How to mod included (and cheat code that will make enemies mastered all job, too.)

Just a simple mod that make the game harder without cutting anything.

 - Aside from giving all jobs innate skills there is no change to anything job related.
 - Replace some low tier items with multiplayer mode items. (Weapon in-battle sprite is not correct because I do not want to learn how to do it lol)
 - All status effect skills have higher success rate.
 - Add damage formula of every weapons in description.
 - All monsters have their hidden skill unlocked.
 - All enemiy spellcasters has Swiftness.
 - All monsters have at least 2 skills.
 - All bosses starting from chapter 2 have innate Safeguard, Defense Boost and a lot of HP.
 - Human in random encounter were buffed.
 - Most multiplayer items replace low tier items.
 - All jobs have innate abilities. You can check the job's innate abilities at status screen in Party Roster. (press select and click at the job title under the unit's name.)
 - Massive buff to Dark Knight and Mastered Onion Knight. They are worth getting now.
 - Massive buff to Agrias because she's my waifu.
 - CT of all skills were shorten.
 - Increase success rate to all buff/debuff magicks. (Protectja and Shellja are not shitty anymore.)
 - Enemies start having uber items at level 15.
 - Bosses that are obviously not human has ??? even in human form (mainly those Templar)


----------Additional SPECIAL BATTLE
--------------Save before going there because these encounter can occur as early as chapter 2 unlike base game special battle.

1. Balias Tor - 1 Dark Knight and 10 Knights. All with the best equipments! (The most hardest. Save before enter this green dot called Barias Tor!)
2. Zeklaus Desert - 3 Dances, 3 Bards and 3 Mimes (with equipments!). Always +5 level from your party!
3. Lenalian Plateau - All Magicians with Special Skill from boss!

Tools used: FFTactext version 457, FFTPatcher version 492 and Plastik's FFT - WotL Universal Slowndown removal patch (Thank you so much!)

Because I did not touch any hard code so you can continue playing this mod using your current save files but start a new game will gave you more fun!

If u find the game too difficult then just go Entice (Invite). Entice is the most broken skill in the early game. After getting Shirahadori and Arithmetic the game will not be too hard anymore so hanging in there and have fun!
