Final Fantasy Hacktics

I just got back from vacation.  Its nice to see that things are moving forward with the tourney.  I'll be able to help with videos if need be (provided my sound card is working correctly.  I can run tests tonight if it sounds like you need me to).

I can also help with little crap like map rngs and the like, just let me know.

Old guy inc...





Shitty image quality, but we had shitty TVs back then, so its all good.  Major bonus points to those who recognize these!   

Some really good matches in there!

Those are the flames from the barrel.  Tracer solves all sorts of mysteries about math problems and broken lamps

Going live in Chapter 3 here in a few if anyone is looking for a diversion.

For those that missed it, got through Yugioh Woods.  You can still catch the videos that include a reset due to throw stone, a lot of pain at Wiegraf II, and a tanky supermediator saving Rafa.

You should definitely call a lawyer.  They shouldnt ask for any money up front for a case like this.  If they do, call another one.  I dont know anything about the part of the country youre in now, so I cant really offer anything more concrete.  More than likely, they will send you back to a doctor for a more thorough checkup if I were a betting man.
Keep us posted, and I hope the only injuries you had are truly minor and you'll be ok!

About to go live again for Chapter 2.  Pop in if youre bored 

In case you missed it, the videos are archived.  You missed more Mime action, an extremely powerful Ninja at Goug, a surprisingly easy and effective Execution Site, a surprisingly hard Outside of Lionel, and Queklain using both Chicken Race and Death Cold!

Chapter 1 finished.  In case you missed it, the recordings are saved.  You can still catch an overpowered Sweegy Woods, a charm of doom at the Thieves Fort, and having to bring a Mime into Lenalia Plateau.

(sound was acting up on the first recording.  The second one is working normally.)

Trying a stream of FFT.  Doing a duo run of vanilla with random job/rsm for each fight.  If you feel like watching, its here:

Just wanted to pop in and say, like always, thanks for all the matches Barren.

I wanted to chime in with the same thing.  I know it can be frustrating being the only one who consistently does matches, but we all appreciate you taking the time to run them!

1)  I'm assuming its 1 team per person?  Or will more be allowed as filler for the brackets?  If more are allowed, I'd be all for the Primary Team automatically advancing regardless of the outcome of the match if paired against a filler team in round 1. 

2)  I've already said my piece on maps.  I'll go with whatever, but there are a handful of maps that at least need to be considered for bans.  My main objection for choke point maps is if you run a team with Petrify, that can really screw you over on some maps.  There are other instances where it can really hurt as well, like if there is a corpse between you and the enemy on the choke.

3)  One suggestion I'd have as far as seeds go would be to seed the match casters so they wont have to cast their own teams.  It makes the tournament more fun to watch when the caster doesnt have an obvious bias as far as who they want to win.

Just my thoughts, I'll go with the flow

Quick note: I forgot to equip one of the Dancer's with Persia so my apologies Dol

I completely blame my performance on your oversight in this matter Barren.  Or...

Its probably time to revisit the Problem Maps thread (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=7646.0).  If nothing else to pick some maps to eliminate from the pool for the tourney.  My vote would be to kick due to chokes and/or unit placement.

Of course I'll go with the flow since I'm not the one doing the actual work  :)

Thanks for the matches as always Barren.

For the elemental Ninja attacks, are they reduced by Shell or Protect?  I'm thinking it should be Shell, but after watching the marathon again, its looking like Shell had no effect on the damage when units used Magicward.

I'm assuming its going to be 1 team per person and then filling in with alternates to fill up the bracket?  Is it going to be single or double elimination?  If its double elim, do alternate teams automatically "lose" to primarys in the first round and go into the losers bracket?

Been out of town for the last few days and finally got a chance to watch the Marathon.



The Marathon was a great way to build up anticipation for a tourney though, great job all around.  One thing that I've noticed is that the intro is a bit too long IMO.  A minute and a half is more of an intro than you really need before getting to the formation screen.  It may just be me though, so dont sweat it if everyone else thinks its good as is.

This is quite excellent.  Playing around with expected damage output of builds has been quite entertaining.
