Final Fantasy Hacktics

Most recent picks are Valkyria Chronicles, Cthulhu Saves the World, and Breath of Fire III. I also started a run of Suikoden II that is so near the end I could finish it in my sleep, but never do for some reason.

Two of my all time favorite games right there. Breath of Fire 3 and Suikoden II. There is an indie game based on Suikoden II called Exit Fate which is free for download if you get the time that I thought was very well done.

Also I wonder about Elric, do you operate on the East Coast in the US. You might just be one of my outside vendors because I work for an investment casting company and we send things for electroplating all the time. We also send things to Raytheon, Haliburton, Boeing and Honeywell like parts that go into planes and bombs.

Thank you! I don't go on message boards much so I don't really know much board etiquette.

Thought I would start a general discussion thread just to keep the Jot5 board movin.  Say a little about yourself, maybe what other games you are playing while you wait for the re-release of chapter 1 or tv shows or movies that you might be hyped about.

Some of the games I have been playing are Metal Gear Solid 5 on the 360, Beyond the Beyond on the PS1 and Talisman on steam. Metal Gear is badass as a new game could be, yeah its got some flaws but I can see all future action games relying on the new Fox Engine to be the corner stone of gameplay.

As for Beyond the Beyond the game starts out strong enough but the lack of save points in dungeons and the lack of giving you an idea where to go next mixed with the insane encounter rate (i'm looking at you Phantasy Star) made me put it down after getting more than half way through it. Talisman is always a good time killer and can either be hugely frustrating or a lot of fun depending on how the game wants to treat you.

Also had a new job opportunity but that fell thru. Guess I will have to stay put and just collect my bonus in December then go on my trip in May before I pick up the search again. Living in NJ can really suck.

P.S. To the moderators if you want to take this thread down I would understand as I must be taking up your bandwidth or just giving you more work to deal with.

All of the treasure items you would get from propositions were originally supposed to do something I think. Like the materia you get was supposed to strengthen magic so on and so forth. Its great that this team is very knowledgeable about the game and take the time to put in the extras that the original developers left out.

This is hardly a mod and more of an original work that vastly surpasses the original in terms of gameplay.

Just wondering if I should try it nowish or hold off a while since I'm kinda late to the party as is.

I would recommend giving the game a spin as of now. You may have a few questions that would benefit from a test play like difficulty or job progression strategies. The re-release of chapter one which is coming sometime soonish will have many updates to structure and gameplay that will make subsequent playthroughs as fun as an initial playthrough.

Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

Keep your damned magic kingdom out of my Final Fantasy. We are destroyers of worlds not huggers of sheep.

Bolt 2, Fire 2, Ice 2... get on the airship and deal the damn cards already!

THIS IS NOT REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!

Also, to hell with Kingdom Hearts and everything it stands for.

THANK YOU!!

I think the cloaked stranger is Mr. Green in the ballroom with the candlestick.

 

Good to hear man. Really looking forward to it, this game keeps getting better all the time. Its going to make immersion so much more like i'm in the tavern taking jobs and drinking with dragoons.

Body, Mind, Soul ALL ARE SHEARED AWAY!!
If to serve this purpose I am to be despised, my body scorched and blackened... SO BE IT.
If to serve this purpose I am to command forbidden magicks... SO BE IT.
Though my body may be tainted; though my mind may be tainted I imbue thee with thought.

I SWEAR as the GODS SWEAR and breath life into the VOID!!

Put Mario in but just confine him to a bed like Link was in Super Mario RPG.

You know what is a huge mistake with this patch, NOT ENOUGH COW BELL!!!!!! 

 

Would be nice to see Algus come back again only so I can kick his teeth in again. 

Would definitely be down for some Valkyrie Profile action.

I love who decided to lower the zeny amount in fight, but let enemy drops items, this make it more funny to grind some map for certain monster, and keep the money to buy other things^^ it's a genius idea.

I am definitely a big fan of the use what you can get idea of equipment instead of buying the best gear. Gives a real challenge to the game to go in all rag tag and what not. I would still like to have the option of buying some great gear too.

I guess we could balance things by making every special character's main job squire.

I find that the unique base classes bring a real charm to the game from the outset and I would hate to see it changed to squire.

I really like how the creators took those moves that would normally either get abused or down right break the game and instead of nerfing them or getting rid of them they instead made them more commonplace so the power of the moves is actually reduced in a sense. Again, great job on the mod guys!

Ramza does indeed make a great priest. Also Black Magic can make a world of difference in this mod. Just don't over level or you will be in for a bitch of a time (level 20+).
