Between him and bosses like Cúchulainn- FFT definitely has its share of risky save spots lol Never fun to end up there.

I feel for you man

this game is the sole reason why I always make multiple save slots in games

Same here. Played through this at the age of 13 and was oblivious to what I was locking myself into. Ended up putting down the game for almost a year before just starting another file😂. Good times huh?

I’m now in that position…17 hours down the drain

I found that funny

It should called "Groan" for Yell in that moment, Dialogue text with "HMMMMMMMM!"

Im playing through it now and I wondered the same thing

I think as kids we did a lot of leveling before each fight. Prolly were just super beefy

As a precaution in every game id have multiple save files 1 of them at all times would be saved in the open world where I know im free to move around and level up if need be. I still do the same thing today in anything I play.

Your Birthday which you choose for your main character at the beginning of the game will give you advantages and disadvantages against enemies. This is the exact reason why all characters including enemies on the Battlefield have a Zodiac Sign visible next to their name. Theirs even a specific Zodiac sign that when chosen effectively raises the difficulty level of the entire game though I forget which one this was. Many people by just blind luck undoubtedly had the perfect Zodiac Sign for this fight.

My dad was helping me in This fight, i used the calcullator Mage and ramza as a dragoon and i defeated This boss

Me too I never knew that. I saw cut scenes of them doing it but never knew it was that simple, I thought you had to learn it

Lol! You don't even need to Guts or Accumulate if you make Ramza a Ninja and have Martial Arts from the Monk, instead of the other way around for the Two Handed Monk. Since Ninja's always start first and have an insane high CT count that moves quick on the bar. You can EASILY wreck Velius's shit with that set up.

Agree and disagree. I got problem beating first try. I come up stratgy to beat it. Like usinv xpotion and chemist to lower his attack power. Auto potion and defend helps too

Oh yeah, it's not exactly super beneficial to do so because you lose a squad member and all you really gain is some mobility/height, but if I remember right this was a themed playthrough where I forced myself to play as chocobo cavalry the entire time :) Fun time

@@redphienix Interesting. I really need to re-play this game considering the rules used for balancing in FFT Arena (considering the strategy element to be exact), everyone knows why they banned the Lancer job... I remember I had a group of lancers that would just jump and win forever lol... But I will definitely replay it following the FFT Arena rules :) . It may make the game more interesting. The lancer was kind of a glitch that made battles boring and easy to win... lol This game is amazing, there is always new possibilities :)

I'm still amazed that as a kid I made it through this one unscathed- but I did entirely flounder the Cúchulainn fight :( Did the same thing- saved and couldn't beat it so I had to restart lol FFT: The game that teaches you to save in multiple slots, with violence

Dam I feel for you. That's why I save numerous times on numerous other slots in case things like this happen, I saved during the fight level 39 & just before it where I'm level 38, games really needa stop doin that

this is what makes FFT one of the best . this trap stage and difficulty are quite similar to tactics ogre 😂

@@andriesusanto8684 oh man I wrote this comment 2 years ago lmao I can safely say I beat the game and it was one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’ve since beat it twice actually

Considering I've done that before when deleveling/re-leveling for a couple different "max" runs... I wish I knew why I didn't do it here. Hmm. A mystery! But too late for me to help past me either lol Good reminder!

I've been playing this game since I was 10 so since the 90's and I didn't know this. Mind blown!

I missed the 56 it was 990. You are right.

I hacked the game for psp so I had the dark knight class and every other maxed out plus all the money and equipment so this didn't bother me at all

@@KennethRobinson-hl7sg No achievement in Hacking

Dumbass

You're mistaken in assuming you knew my goal in this fight, this was part of a meme-y challenge run as is (Cavalry Run) and this was a bit of a victory lap messing with and exploiting stacking stats with yell. All to say it's as hard as it was meant to be, and as round-about as it was intended to be. Another 15 rounds spent accumulating isn't necessary when both you and I in these hypotheticals already aren't at risk of dying. That said, that definitely works, pretty sure a two swords monk was my go-to build on my first playthrough of the game as a kid. It took me quite a bit longer to realize just how busted an x-potion auto potion build was for this game, lol. Also, you can't be a Squire with Barehanded and Two Swords (the double attack skill), you're slightly mistaken if that was the intended build. Though I probably just mis-interpreted because I think all you're saying is to combine the three options (Barehanded/Two swords/Basic Skill (accumulate)) which would mean either playing as a Monk with Basic Skill and Two Swords, or a Ninja with Barehanded and Basic Skill, but as Two Swords and Barehanded are both support skills, you can't equip both on a Squire for those mega powered double punches, dang shame :/ Regardless, thanks for sharin' some FFT nonsense, it's my favorite kind.

​@@redphienix yes you are right now that I think about it. Ramzan as a monk. With two swords. And squire capabilities. Same thing. Yell and accumulate...10-15 times each. Then one shot him. He then turns into that pos...then since you have so much speed you just walk up and hit him for 999 and 999 damage. I had more problems beating that chick that breaks your items on the roof...miluda or meliadoul or whatever her name is than this douchebag. I didn't know about maintenance back in the day. Had I know that I dont think I would have quit playing that game for years after being stuck there.

you can spam tailwhind and rock him to death if u wanna get down to brass elitest tacks!

Oh you don't remotely need to, Squire is kinda trash outside of Accumulate and Ramza's exclusive "Yell" and "Scream" abilities. Ya can though. If ya do (or if you decide to grind just about any job) the Squire Basic Skill Accumulate is by far the fastest way to do that. Instant cast, full JP reward, spammable whenever the hell you want- good stuff to exploit if you want to max out Squire (or any job if you make Basic Skill their secondary job skill). Hardly the point- no one likes grind- but if you wanted to ease that dread then knowing that can help. Ninja Monks will definitely kick the entire game's rear, 100%, so honestly you probably won't need to ever focus on Squire anyway. Have a good one!

@@redphienix All you really need is a female Geomancer named Cake. With Draw-Out, Magic Attack-UP...

Just a little advice from a very season FFT player. Just get most of your classes to level 5 and move on. Buy skills that are can be helpful as secondary job and do not skip out on Auto Potion. A very underrated reaction skill. Lastly just be a monk/ninja with equip armor on this stage to out last the damage.

@@redphienix squire focus skill for level up grind is good since u always get 10 exp lol

I spend like 20 hr trying to steal their stuff which i though i can only get it from them. Rooftop

Crying shame it lost you here, but giving up on one of, hell, at LEAST 2 different softlock save points makes complete sense to me. Kid me softlocked at the Cúchulainn bossfight which was ROUGH. It really should be a crime to put a save point before an encounter and not say "Hey, bud, you might want to save in a different slot for this one, chief."

It's not a failure, it's a design choice. Some people might find it brilliant, some think it's bad to not tell the player about it. I think the latter are just people who never played older games. There are lots of these unexpected scenarios where the game doesn't outright tell you what is going to happen. And I think it works in this case for the story. Besides the fact that you can just use a different save file, really separates experienced players and those who aren't.

The Zodiac Brave Story is my favorite story of all time. The game was perfect for me as the music is top tier and somehow I can really get into the characters and dialogue. Even without voice I can really feel a lot of these scenes. There are so many characters you can fall in love with or hate. The final scene of the game made me wonder all of these years if it could possibly be true(you wont understand unless you finish the game... I don't want to spoil it for any readers). I think today it would be hard to captivate people with a game like this. Especially with how flashy modern games are. I am happy I was able to appreciate this game as a child when it was the standard for gaming technology. Even in this video when Wiegraf uses the stone to transform and the music changes, I get chills! What a game!

To be blunt, because I was enjoying it at the time. Hard to fully recall but I remember most of this run of FFT being me playing around seeing various encounters devolve as I stacked speed until I got bored enough to swing once or twice. It's more than easy enough to end this encounter in a couple turns, both fights included, but running in circles as Wiegraf struggles to keep along or do anything meaningful was a good laugh at the time, and despite being a recording posted publicly the play was for me so we both end up with this tedious video lol.

at that point may as well use auto potion, but I get some fft players consider auto potion to be cheating

​@@professorpenne9962I have never heard that. Auto potion is not even one of the better reaction abilities. Its a good early game option but its not so good as to be considered cheating.

Don't even need equip armor at that point you have enough life lol

Agree, I also only have Ramza set as Monk with dual wield and 96 brave. Add Move+2 and you can OTK Wiegraf. But I think the OP didn't do it due to the challenge run reason.

Even the failed teleports were making me cringe. Minimal move stat king right here 😂
