The balance to the original FFT was actually designed that way because they wanted "every job to be viable" as part of the narrative of "It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, everyone can be useful". So it resulted in easy OP builds and a cake endgame with minimal grinding necessary.

Making Ramza a monk basically turns him into Jonathan Joestar, lives by the wishes of a dead/ailing father to be a true Beoulve, learns to channel healing power and punch his foes to death, and has to confront his ambitious Brother who was poisoning his father, and other that was turned vampire.

ah, remembering back to when I was a kid, playing FFT, telling others "it's a cool story! you basically kill the pope and bring down the church"... and my sister was like "as long as you understand it's just a fantasy game"

Doned: I don't want to go back home! I like it here! Marche:You're going back to your broken throne brother...

THE fucking game back in the day. The themes, story, setting, gameplay, and shear level of content all bottled up into this gem. Upon watching this, I'm reminded it wasn't quite the unmarred beauty I remember, but fuck me if its not still on top of my list. Thank you for covering this series KBash, I can die happy now.

Final fantasy tactics and final fantasy tactics A2 are probably my favorite games all time. Say what you want about tactics 1 but I love that story. Marche, mewt and everyone feels like real people and I can honestly relate to mewt and his want for a better life.

Delita didn't die from getting stabbed by Ovelia. At the beginning of the game when you select your name and zodiac, it doesn't mention at all that he died at the end of the war, so this implies that Delita lived to rule Ivalice for a long time.

When he said "BUT THE PEDIGREE"... i felt that.

"He's stabbed to death by the wife he's groomed to be his queen" I'm pretty sure he doesn't die but he did lose everything and had to kill her and no one likes him lol

" you check this shit out! Don't see this on call of duty, YAHOOOOO! " KBash, 2021

all 3 of these titles deserve to be re-released or to be remade for modern consoles

I’m possibly just horrendously biased cause I played A2 so much as a kid, but it is still one of my favorite games to go back to and just do everything in. Never really realized it was grinding until now, probably because it was how I played as a kid. And I still think it’s one of the most enjoyable games to figure out and do everything in.

In a world where there are more games than I can keep up with, this is one series I just can't leave behind. Glad there are others like me that still appreciate and cover the series. Love it with all it's highs and lows. So excited for Triangle Strategy! Any chance of a demo impression video or are you waiting for a full release?

Penelo and Vaan are there as they share the same FF universe as FFT in Ivalice. One of the only times that FF characters have crossed. I’m surprised you’re more surprised at them than Cloud, who had to travel through an inter planar wormhole to get there.

Tactics ogre's gotta be next right? lol

My boy K rocking the early 2000s emo hair aesthetic like there's no tomorrow. I just so happen to find an urge into going back to that as well, thankyou for boosting my confidence in pursuing my own emo aesthetic.

"If you wanted to grind you first needed the JP plus ability from the Squire, which is DUMB!" **Looks at Bravely Deafult 2 and the JP Up and JP Up and Up abilities still unlearned on half the party members** Yeah...

The hatch can only hold for so long Kbash, their coming.

Ivalice is one of the greatest universes in all of media.

Your bit on emergent strategy at around 5:40 is so freakin' good. I absolutely love it.

Dude, you have no idea how glad I am to see a FFT video! These games were my childhood! So much so that the mere mention of Wiegraf triggered horrifying flashbacks.

I see what you did there Kbash. Can't fool me. I can smell the Tactics Ogre Review incoming.

Had this video in my watch later for 3 years and finally watched it, great video!

"But the PEDIGREE!" Yes, I don't think I've seen any other game featuring that many diverse animations for NPCs stabbing defenseless people in the back or gut. Really leans into the "politics" angle so much it needs a support rope I guess.

"Life is short. Bury. Steady Sword!"

As usual you had me at the intro but i stayed for the awesomeness that came after

FFTA got me into tactical RPGs and has become one of my favorite genres.

Kinda random but you seriously have the best endings to your videos. They’re always so abrupt but in a a good way.

I wonder if Triangle Strategy will be up his alley when that comes out.

you seem to cover all the games from my childhood, love your content

It's funny to watch this, because your original ffta review is what drew me to your channel a couple of years ago. It's a game that had an impact on adolescent me and you were the only one with a decent video on it when I nostalgically looked it up.

subbed! FFT was one of my favorite games growing up, and this video was a great nostalgia trip.

Kbash your hair looks great. Thanks for all fun vids and the wit you provide too.

As a Tactics Ogre fan I appreciate 0:35 (Would love to see a video on those games too)

I've been wanting to get back into this series. You always seem to cover the stuff I've been thinking about.

"Marshe says sorry for saying slurs and Luso... really puts his back into it" This literally made me laugh the loudest I do. Thank you.

Great content. Love your enthusiasm about the series!

I've been waiting for you to cover this game!!!

11:16 I will never, EVER, see that scene the same way again. Well done sir, you just got a new subscriber.

Perfect timing! Just started playing through all 3 games again recently. FFTA remains my personal fav.

so happy i found kbash randomly one day when youtube randomly suggested his video talking about fable. ever since then he’s gotten better and funnier each video. i’m glad he’ll finally hit 100k before this years over. you deserve way more but congratulations on building from the ground up, you’re the man kbash!

Final Fantasy Tactics is gigantic classic. I've been gaming around 40 years now and I'd put FFT in my top 5 off all time. Here is hoping they polish up Project Triangle Strategy, so that it is anywhere close to the greatness of this game.

great video. I love all three games tbh, they each got their problems but I still love them. (unrelated but I always stick around for the patron shout-outs just to hear "SIMP GOD". cracks me up every time.)

Listen, came across this randomly searching for FFT content and bro; this is some good content! I’m now like 3 videos into your stuff

I think it is safe to say that i played all three FFTA games and enjoy ever moment in each of them.

yo youre one of my favorite youtubers ever. Thanks for the video my 2nd child was born on the upload date and i enjoyed watching your video late at night while holding him.

I actually found your channel back when you released your FFTA video. Its crazy to see how far your channel has gone and it blows my mind how youre not a more recognized channel. Maybe im just biased because i resonate with the FFT fanboy in you.

I love your intro music. Plz never change it

FFT has one of the most epic fantasy stories to be put into a game to even this day

It's a given. If you are to ask what is the best Final Fantasy you've played, the OG Final Fantasy Tactics/ War of The Lions is an answer that is not needed to be said *_because it is the best Final Fantasy_* It's a Final Fantasy story that it is supposed to be. It's grounded first to the themes of human corruption, greed, and overzealous ambitions that cost blood and lives the crown plays in the game of thrones, but it then slowly shows a growing conspiracy of the church looking to take advantage of the crown using otherworldly and supernatural means to rule over Ivalice without being too obnoxious and on the nose about it. The motives of each side and faction are given time to grow, make the player follow the plot without being too lost, and basically having them advance the story with the crew you've build up to unravel the game of thrones and thwart the templar plot. And yes. I too, made Ramza a Monk who can top Mount Everest with Ignore Elevation, and two-shot enemies with a good o'l 1-2 punch with the power and stats of an overpowered Monk. FFTA was my childhood. It is one of the first games I Played when I first got my GBA, and FFTA2 is a game I explored in my early 20's after having been curious for it for too long. Each has its on story to tell. But the OG Tactics/WotL is forever etched in my heart as the game with the definitive 'Final Fantasy' story beat the franchise should have. Awesome video. Now do a review of Summon Night 1 and 2 on the GBA.

The best Part about replaying FFT as Monk Ramza is Wiegraf saying:" To be felled by mortal H A N D S". That Shit ist so odly accurate, it Always Cracks me up

Really enjoyed this one brother. Great stuff.

Those War of the Lions quotes never fail to get me FRICKIN' HYPED.

The only game where a mimic, a support and item sharing class is considered a viable strategy like that of the well-known four White Mages speedrun any%

K.bash great review man really made my day.

The first time I played FFTA in middle school I realized I could have a team of lizard puppy's and never looked back lol

Dang dude, this vid pretty good! Take my sub.

Wiegraf is easily one of the best villains ever

This is the video I've been waiting my life for. I grew up on FFTA, got FFTA2 as soon as it came out, and have still yet to play FFT itsself. I discovered your channel from your FFTA review, and I can't wait to hear someone talk about Luso; that said, I'm definitely fearful to hear my favorite games ripped to shreds, but they don't call you "KBash" for nothing.

I really like Tactics Advance, cause it's gameplay is pretty addictive to me, I'm still to play the others, but just because of my love for TA, I'm already desiring the FFT series to come back someday, somehow

Yes, more Final fantasy tactics content good on you sir!

@kbash would you consider making a video of Valkyria chronicles???? Love the video as always!!!

What was the version of FFT you were playing? Was it the War of the Lions Tweak by Tzepish?

wow this is a pretty good video and I can’t argue with anything you said honestly. You did right by my favorite game of all time....I literally found FFT in a a discount bin in Walmart in maybe 2002ish?? I was 12 and saw the art and classes on the back and begged my mom to get it for me for $9.99 and I would pay her back when we got home from my secret savings. I found this strange game with so much replay value as I learned the classes and combinations and Items...we also didn’t have the internet so randomly unlocking new classes through chance leveling in other classes was very exciting and seeing what skills did in battle was amazing. I was a dumb 12 year old so I just wanted a party of Knights with black magic and it took me awhile to learn the other classes or like how good monks could be or or how good skills from certain classes are used in combination. this game was quirky and amazing and somehow so predictable but like you said felt very alive and rewarding to unlock something....this game can he broken or strange but in such great ways....absolutely my favorite game.... also to anyone reading this who will play the first time...use multiple saves....if the game automatically asks you to save then save in a new slot... I’m talking the OG FFT not FFTA obviously.... FFTA is pretty meh

This was beautiful man thank you

Interesting. Makes me wonder what your thoughts are on Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together (regardless if its Snes, ps1 remaster, or psp remake) and Knights of Lodis on Gba.

That voice you made when you said, "being a fan of the original and watching this come out in real time". You get the feeling more than you realize. Times was tough, hahaha.

3:02 For all you people who don't believe me when I insist Ramza tops.

i really love the music on the save screen, so relaxing

Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favourite game's and im glad it's still being talked about. Two of my favourite quotes from it are both from Ramza,when at the start he says 'Honest work would see them die old in bed,yet they chose this early grave. Why persist in such folly?'. And my other favourite is 'I had lived my life the only way I knew how. But when the pillars of that life came crashing down,I did not stand and watch them fall. I turned, and walked away'.

I wonder what your thoughts on the Project Triangle Strategy, at least on the dem MO that came out a few weeks ago.

Okay...but what version DID he use to play War of the lions

I'm legit curious, now, when Did you first use the word Nouns to refer to setting-specific terms, anyway?

Sick video I just dug out my gba and started playing again. Cheers

Nothing will top when WOTL came out when I was in 7th grade my two friends and I picked it up and proceeded to pull two all nighters with it we even pooled our knowledge to create a big flow chart for how the jobs advanced.

Have you ever done a video on Revenant Wings? I’ve never fully made my mind up on that game.

i actually like the story of advance the kids has very real problems that actually happens to kids in real life and all of them have proper reason to escape real life even marche struggled with it and questions his actions. idk why you made a disservice for advance story like that. it doesnt have the shakespearan writing of the first game but it all makes up for its almost meta commentary in escapism.

Ramzas spin explosion just got you another subscription sir

does anyone actually have that patch he was talking about for FFT? Kinda want to try it for a replay

How do you get a Seeq in the early game? 0_o

Did you hear about project triangle tactics on switch?

This is my favorite game ever made and I have played dozens of playthroughs. I still have copy from my childhood in mint condition.

Bro one of my favourite FFT things was the antiqueated language i loved reading the dialogues with the very profound usage of language.

yo this was a really good watch. As a huge fan of ffta2, I'm so happy you complained about the mission Way of the Meek XD

Thank you sooooooooooo much for talking about this series man. I absolutely LOVE FFA2 but I have yet to beat it lol I always get half-way through and then I stop. I must have played through the first few missions over 20 times but for some reason I just can't seem to commit! I'm glad you are bringing more attention to it though and I hope more people try it out. Have you played DIsgaea? Very simiar vibes but even more broken IMO

the enhanced version is war of the lions for psp right? or did i understood that wrong

Really wish you would cover the other major series Matsuno was involved in too. The whole Ogre Battle/Tactical Orge series.

Why do you have to post these when I’m at work? Can’t wait to watch tonight.

10:04 which map is this? Looks like Fell Seal

FFT is in my top 20 very high literally because of the story alone.

really enjoyed the video, drowned out the sound of my parents fighting thanks kbash :)

28:00 PC Version? you mean an emulator right? Or is it there an official PC Version? Thanks!

This man back at it again

wait... why would you ever look at CT, I mean some things like Jump and other moves you might need to know that math jargin but for spells you could literally see when your spell went off by hitting left (or right cant remember) on the spell menu o.O

So about FFTA2 story (which is my favorite FF game so…yay bias? But I’ll try to stay honest) : I agree it’s not the amazing political battle through and through, but I really feel like your underrating it. Adel for example, was not complaining about being at everything, but she felt different among the people she cared for, and although she didn’t care at first, being the only one saved while her family and friends all died from illness. It’s also the whole point of her class, all blessed people that finished ostracized or isolated themselves because it felt wrong for them to be around other people not from pride or narcissism, but because of the basic human fear of not fitting into the group. Lennart pushes it by saying that being immortal fucking suck because all you do is outlive those you love. This trait also puts a contrast between her and Illua (who’s also a blessed one) cause Illua developed a God complex unlike all the others. And - SPOILER - we know Adel’s personality is a facade and she’s actually pretty soft. Speaking of Illua, she’s quite interesting too. Extremely narcissistic and sharing ties with each of the tree protas, yet she shows the opposite characteristics to every one of them. Now you could say the main story isn’t all that great and I agree but want to add that the side stories are gems. From tales of corporate greed in a pharmaceutical setup with Mack Ocktor to the absolute randomness of the dude whose wife couldn’t cook anything but garbage. There’s also an introduction to the manipulation genuine charities could be victim of to achieve something malicious (There was a charity in Graszton that was unknowingly helping the black market of endangered species). There’s also the story of the guy who just worked as a delivery man, plagued by an inferiority complex towards his little sister and who wanted to be braver. So many little things that filled Ivalice with a charm I’ve rarely seen in other games beside Hollow Knight and Mystery Dungeon. It expands the main story, it completes it and just does a great job at it. My favorite is the story of Florah, the activist WE KILLED because she didn’t find any other way to make people understand the importance of nature than to literally become an eco terrorist. To this day, I feel like this two part quest presents one of the most tragic tellings I’ve encountered. In the end, everyone can appreciate a little bit of each one of those games. I here am just hoping FFTA2 gets a remake/remaster.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts on Fire Emblem. Preferably the retro ones.

Also what version was he using, cuz it looks like a version i might actually enjoy

Will you ever cover the Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle series?

Is WotL that good? I was annoyed when I heard they turned the pixel art all blurry, but these balances seem more than worth that and I'm very interested in replaying FFT

As my boy would say: "I've been waiting."
