Final Fantasy Hacktics

If I can find my component cables, I'll give it a try tonight.

You're talking about the images from Orioto, right? I (think) I have the same set of images. I just started rotating through them for wallpapers again.

OS X Desktop


Windows 7 Desktop


I keep all of my most frequently used programs in the Dock or the Superbar and everything else in folders, so I usually don't have any icons on my desktop (besides the Recycle Bin in Windows).

Whether or not you put any stock in astrology, I thought FFH might be interested in hearing about this.

New Zodiac Signs

I'm still a Taurus under the new system of dates though.

You should post the detailed changelog in your first post because your first post here should always have a changelog. People don't generally download mods without knowing what they're getting into. Having a link to another website isn't enough because users should have to go to another site just to find out what changes you've made.

I'm not going to do anything to this thread (for now) because it's not in the current sticky topic about the bare minimum needed for making a thread here. But if it's not done within a few days, I'll have to close this topic for the time being.

This is meant to be a community project, and the one I released is an Alpha demo, so, nothing is permanent
Give more specific suggestions for the names/skills and we will discuss them
P.s: Seems that the majority of ppl likes the Cadet -> Mercenary -> Heretic progression, so I don't think it will be changed for now...but who knows?

I...can't really be more specific about saying that his skillset name should remain the same if the skillset is mostly about buffing and supporting himself. "Leadership" just sounds generic. The only reasoning I see for it is because Ramza leads other people, but in that case, Cid's skillset can be called "Leadership."

I also can't be more specific about his job class name for the first chapter. He is a cadet, but he is also a squire. I never had a problem with him being called a squire after chapter 1 (because he's never knighted), but I thought it was only problematic that his chapter 2 and chapter 4 job classes are still called squire.

It's not a huge deal to me, despite how much I'm talking about though.

QuotePlease point them, because I don't see the problem...

To add on to what Pride said about the impression it gives, my biggest problem is how out of place your cameo is.

You don't see the problem with a 75 Brave/7 PA enemy w/Martial Arts as his support, Ignore Height for movement and some relatively advanced gear being in the first real battle? His physical attacks are pretty much instant death to whoever he targets.

QuoteEnemies will always be at your level, (Only bosses will be some level higher) and the enemy equipment in every fight (Random or storyline battle) will be the same you can buy in stores (Even if almost every battle will have at least 1 item worth stealing)
In this way, levelling won't punish you at all, you can't get LOLCRISTALMAIL at level 1, and steal will be still worth the slot

OK. Sounds good.

I'll actually have a chance to play it some more today, so I'll probably be giving more feedback soon.

It's after 12 midnight on the East Coast, so Happy New Year folks!!!!!

My thoughts:
- I'm probably going to be in the minority on this, but I think Ramza's skillset name could have been left as Guts. While it might be fitting to call it leadership when he has abilities like "Everyone Defend" (sidenote: I'm not a fan of some of the skill names either), most of his skills are still largely focused on supporting and buffing himself.

Again, I'll likely be in the minority for this one, but I also think that for chapter 1, he could still be called a squire, because...he is one.

- I don't think I need to point out the problems with your cameo in Gariland.

What's the difficulty curve going to look like? Honestly, vanilla FFT failed in this department and IMHO, so did 1.3.

Downloading now and I'll try it a little later. The recent blizzard left me with spotty Internet service, so I haven't really been able to get online much since Monday.

Well, this thread's redundant now that there's a sub-forum for mod and job class ideas, so I'm locking this.

With a dedicated sub-forum for people to make topics dedicated to specific mod ideas and proposals, this thread is kind of redundant now.

This thread has had a good run and served its purpose, but it's time for it to say goodbye.

Finally got around to moving all of the topics without something playable posted to the Ideas sub-forum. If you can't find a certain topic, check over there since that's where it's likely to be.

Can't really agree with Ramza being a Hero.  He's a kid at heart most of the times, sure, though still a bit of a prick (see: the victory event of Grog Hill), but he's not out to save the world.  He spends the first Chapter being an idiot then saving Teta, the second Chapter following Gafgarion then trying to fix his own mistake, the third Chapter trying to tell Zalbag what's going on so he can do something about it, goes to Orbonne when Zalbag doesn't believe him to nab a quick Stone and get further proof of what's going on, then spends the rest of the game on a huge quest to save his sister and to somewhat see what the fuck is up with Delita.

"Save the world" is never on his agenda honestly.  Killing all the demons and saving the world is more like an accident because he needed to so he could save Alma.  He wants to stop the Church, but his intent is to tell other people (Zalbag, T.G. Cid, etc.), and have them do most of the work... things just turn out so that he's stuck doing it all instead.  He just wants to save his sister, so there's really no reason to see him as a "Hero" on a personal level.  It also makes the whole Batman comparison also flop.  I'm pretty sure he doesn't even see himself as any kind of hero or anything special at all.

He has no reason to be a Knight or to honestly have any kind of heroic title whatsoever.  Really, Cadet/Mercenary/Heretic is probably the best set of alternatives you're going to get because they reflect how other people see him.

I disagree with much of what you're saying Raven because I don't think Ramza's nearly as selfish as you're making him out to be, but I'll come back to this tomorrow (or really later on today) with a proper rebuttal.

In any case though, I think the name of his job class should be the last thing to be debated over.

Somewhat significant change coming sometime tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned...

Updated the first post with info about the Ideas sub-forum.

Eternal, you're also friends with me on Facebook. I'll update as necessary in the (hopefully near) future.

And it was unanimously passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Next stop, a vote in the Senate.

Pirate-slaying censorship bill gets unanimous support

I was supposed to call Sen. Schumer, but it probably wouldn't have made a bit of difference.

Quote from: "Dokurider"I still think Zalbag not giving a shit about Teta dying is OoC for him. I always pegged him as a nicer guy then that. Then again, I do have trouble understanding the motivations of others, which is why I struggled in literature class. Anyways, if Zalbag wanted to teach Ramza how to be a leader, then why did he suggest that Ramza and his friends go out and investigate Elmdor's kidnapping?

Well, he did rip into Ramza for suggesting that Dycedarg was a manipulative bastard and basically called him a bastard commoner not worthy of being a Beoulve. If he can basically disown his half-brother, imagine how he might have felt about a common girl with no blood ties to him at all if she's in the way of some greater goal.

I'm not sure what you mean by the question about being a leader. Can you elaborate?

QuoteAlso, I have yet another question:

What is the deal with Delita being allowed to live so closely and intimately with the Beoluves? How did a commoner get to live with the Beoluves in the first place? I think Delita and Teta are actually the children of Balbane's mistress who were fathered by a different man, technically making Ramza and Delita half-brothers. That is the only explanation I can think of that would explain why Delita gets to live with the Beoluves so closely.

  They'd be a (more) dysfunctional family if this was the case. The actual explanation's a lot more mundane.

From Delita's WOTL Chronicles description:
Delita is Ramza's childhood friend and knight apprentice of the Royal Military
Akademy at Gariland. Born to a farming family in the demesne of House Beoulve,
Delita and his sister were taken in by the late Lord Barbaneth after losing
both parents to the Black Death. Meeting Argath and Milleuda has forced Delita
to question his own place.

In other words, Delita and Teta's parents were commoners that worked and lived on Balbanes' land. When they died, Balbanes took them into the family.

Quote from: "Smitson"He wants to get back at Wiegraf and the rest of the corps brigade for almost killing him. That's a good enough reason for Dycedarg to be there.

OK, but if he was seriously wounded, what business does he have being on the front line?

Quote from: "VampragonLord"zalbag is a general in an army, what would have happened had he not made that call? was zalbag to surrender his entire army so golagros could simply kill teta anyways? Im fairly certain zalbag A) figured algus could make the shot(he cant, he couldnt even drop golagros once the meatshield was gone) B) destroying the entire death corps would be worth Teta's life C) He was trying to show ramza some of the sacrifices you need to make to lead. Algus on the other hand thought of teta as pure dirt and that she deserved to die, then gladly killed her

Are you saying that because Zalbag had to make the order, he should get a pass for Teta's death (or at least have his decision seen in a more sympathetic light)? The order itself, while being the cause of her death, isn't the main reason why he shares some of the blame for her death. It's because he did nothing to ensure her safety or to try to get her back. His indifference to her fate is the reason why Zalbag shares some of the blame.

BTW, Golagros didn't want Zalbag to surrender to him. He wanted to escape to safety.
