Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hey guys, wondering if anyone would be interested in playing in a SCC Tournament during the Winter/Spring Season?

I'll host, with one other recorder. We'll do Single Elimination, 5 map tournament, with no JP Cap, Two copies Abilities and a Single copy of items. The only theme requirement of course is that you must use the same primary class.

How we'll do classes is you(the player) picks their three classes they want to play in the tournament, and Assign them a rank between 1-3. I'll do a live stream of the class selection per player using random.org and then Players who don't get their first choice will have an oppurtunity, on a first come, first served basis to swap their class with one of the classes that only have 1 or no players.


Any questions, or concerns ask below and people can use this thread to sign up and declare their teams

EDIT:
Registration Closes 1/21/17 (Sunday)
Stream Date, Monday 1/22/17 -> Random Roll of 1-2, (1), 3-4 (2), 5-6 (3).

And the Finals:
Congrats to the winner!

Hi guys an gals. When our beloved website when down for a few days, I organized a quick little engagement of 8 teams for a berserker free for all. Using the most up to date Test patch, we're going to see if all berserkers are fun!

FFT Arena/ Berserk Tournament!
Hosted by: Gatebuster202 (Jeremy)

Da Rulez: For those of you watching at home, keeping score or otherwise, just curious. We have a standard rule in FFT Arena of Two Copies of Items/Abilities, and a 3000 JP Cap. This is augmented with one further rule. All units in this Tournament must possess Always: Berserk Status. Which can only be found on the Items, Gory Plate(A Shield) and Salty Rage(A Accessory). OF course this must follow the rules of Two Gory Plates and Two Salty Rages. Good Luck/Have Fun

Participating Teams/Captains. (See below the Match Ups for Each team detail, when Bracket is released)
Barren
DW
Dokurider
Reks
Argy
Andrew
Anima Zero

5th is Up in the air for myself. 8th I will be driving all day to New Mexico and the 10th is a MAYBE at best. At worst it's a no with no service or signal.

I haven't replied in a while but the elemental clothing was sorta, my baby, on discord anyway.

Now that I've seen the conversation I throw in some thoughts.

1 Hairpin Change. It wasn't mentioned but Hairpin getting the Half Elemental means that Faith teams don't have to rely on two slots to provide Holy/Dark Holy protection. This hurts the Dark/Holy meta that has exploded with Bizen Boat and the hybrid classes. (Geo/Sam) and their access to easy holy boosting.

2 Earth Clothes losing strength earth. This hurts monks. It was geared towards reducing monks a bit in the EASE of synergizing with other units. If we gave one additional headband to the monk that say, boosted Wind and Earth and then returned Aura blast to wind an made it cone AOE. Monks have two elemental AOE options that punish teams that clump up, and are then forced to choose offense or defense with their headbands. That also only boosts one -Ton and doesn't make monks any scarier at anything else while allowing them to best utilize punch art.

3 Dark/Holy/Excaliber- Excaliber should be one handed and not able to be two handed. If it is the Arthurian blade of legend it is perfectly balanced and fast as lightning.

Dark and Holy teams with out access to Shield and Robes an Helmets can't easily boost it... Who does this impact that would use it? Does it make Geomancers squishy? Yes. Does it make samurai squishy to boost dark? Yes. Does this ruin a few builds... I didn't see any with a quick glance. It limited design in some areas, but the proliferation of Hybrid builds have overshadowed the base MA/PA classes this patch. Bard excluded.

I currently am suffering the "head cold from hell." But if you have other points or counter arguments I will get back to you ASAP.

Reserving Spot! Also, Do I do High Faith, or Low Faith??

Matches 124, through 121 in reverse order are being streamed, will link the youtubes once all 8 are up. (Match 125-128 are up and in the playlist.)

In current release, my favorite thing is the Marks
In future release, Synth Shop with a secondary item table that is filled from Battle Trophies and Poaching.

As one who enjoyed both games, I want a bit of feed back... Why did they not Cell Shade animate the most pivots and poignant scene of Chapter 4 after the credits roll?

Most know the one I am talking about. The one that cements this game as a true Greek Tragedy in the face of it's medival romance. Square Enix was afraid of ruining the scene. Which meant that they were afraid of their own game. How can they make a good game when they were afraid of the legacy of the original. Hell, 15 promises to be a departure from this fear of the Shadow left by the loss of the core team that made 1-9. Square Enix almost screwed up WotL, beyond playability for most. For a few here, it is beyond hackable. I for one hate them for this and the lack of PC release that could allow untold possibilities.

Hi guys, been a bit, since I posted anywhere but Arena. Working on my mechanics portion of my patches. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had or could whip up a Random Fire Formula that either A) Used Weapon Damage and was PE, or B) was PA*Y Based?
Preferable to override any Formula between 5E-60 in Patcher.

A might look like Dmg_Weapon #Hit(1,X)
B might be                PA*Y #Hit (1,X)

Was looking for a less overpowered form of Barrage from WotL (Yuk...) And a way to keep crossbows relevant later in the game. Also, could use the Formula for a few other skills, but those reasons are the immediate concern.

I sent Kashkabald and dw PM about whose doing matches 85 - 88. If no one responds by this Friday then I will do those matches over the weekend to keep this tourney going

If they don't get back to you, with set dates, I'm just going to record 2 a night til I get to that one match you wanted Barren.

Reks, WKW and I were discussing Spellbooks casting the respective Ice/Fire/Lightning spell, leaving gun with just four options. The "books" being sourced from slots previously believed unusable. This would leave us with three new slots in general or three new guns. Ranged weapons in general don't have as much love as Melee options. I haven't composed my non-elemental gun thoughts, but when I do I will let this page know.

Space for new Guns suggestion

To Spellguns. We have "found" six untapped weapon slots. The Balls and Shirikens from Vanilla. WKW has tested them, and they can be used for Arena. We can turn them into Spellguns or other weapons. My suggestion is that they either be 4 range with one less weapon power and function as one handed books, or stay as 5 range guns and lose 2 WP
