[@benjaminbomberry3782]

Keep up the amazing work! You are doing a great service to the Tactics community.

[@J7Jase]

Thanks so much! Thank you for being part of the community and the journey has been great. A lot more ideas and playthroughs coming 👍

[@agriasoaks5517]

Fantastic builds! Also respect how you reply back to everyone. I've seen so many channels smaller and even around the same size as you never reply to people

[@J7Jase]

Thank you thank you I'll always try my best to give a reply no matter what. Lately, its been harder to get to everyone though

[@hahuhihi311]

Good tips thrown in here as well! Thanks for all you do and keeping this game alive!

Last night I got right before the end of Chapter 1. This is when I start grinding classes out, THEN I can "play the game" 😂 2:09 Hilariously enough, that's exactly what I just did to win that fight, spam "Bolt 2"

[@J7Jase]

Lol nice! Yeah to me its the best way to defeat him.

[@midnight-jade5082]

The time and work to make this video. This deserves way more views!

[@J7Jase]

Thank you! I hope so too

[@RafaelKeveluk]

Great video! And also, here are some alternative bad fun builds such as: - A Dragoon with two spears that can haste themselves. - A melee Mystic who Doublehands their quarterstaff and does martial arts. - An Archer who employs time magic to ensure they're always out of range. - A Squire bandit (only uses knives/guns, has steal, poach or equip gun) - A Samurai who does ying yang magics(Mystic for that eastern feel. - Ramza as a Squire/Chemist for the entire run since he technically is never knighted.

[@J7Jase]

Thanks so much and these are some nice roleplaying builds 👍

In 2023... My man, this is still useful for a game of it's time. I recently picked it up and I was already having a hard time in the early game. Damage feels high at times and losing units suuuuucks. Thank you!

[@Toshinegawa]

I knew I recognized the background music! Zero's Intro Stage theme from Megaman X5. A nice pick

[@J7Jase]

Glad to see some Megaman X fans out there! I try and throw in tracks from games I also like to play. I've been honestly really surprised on how some people know at least from certain games I'm into

[@Toshinegawa]

@J7Jase MMX5 was the first one in the series that I played, never beat it (the final Stage was Brutal asf, Shadow Devil broke teenage me) but I still have good memories of it. Though MMX4 was my introduction series

[@J7Jase]

@@Toshinegawa Nice X4 was my first one, then X5, X6 and X8. I tried to play X7 but oh man could not get myself to play it lol.

[@omniunown]

Ramza is also the best (possibly only?) character to use the full potential of the samurai skills. Iaido is a great skillset for him. I'm a huge fan of samurai main with secondary black magic, just for some variety

[@J7Jase]

Its good but I wouldn't call it the best things for the early and mid game.

[@omniunown]

It's definitely sub-optimal, he's just the best character if you want to try to use that skillset

[@damianwarneke305]

I use a monk that can use the dragoons Jump. Anything but optimal, but I like the idea of a specialist in high powered jump kicks 😅

[@J7Jase]

That is cool and fun one. Props for creativity 👍

[@instantlyclassic3883]

This video is so good nice work

[@J7Jase]

Thank you! This one took a while to make to get all the clips, grinding and so on

[@cutless6942]

Well made with great explanations and video clips

[@J7Jase]

thank you!

[@curtiscoplin1980]

I think, in my own personal opinion and experience .. there is 2-3 classes I prefer .. Bard & Dancer, for speedier JP gains, as well as helping with the enemies. Second, used Sing/Dance while unlocking the Arithmetic, because they are able to cast more spells without having to wait. With that said, I would like to hear your opinions, however I doubt I’ll keep track ..

[@J7Jase]

"I doubt I'll keep track." Should I just leave it at that?

[@ody9931]

Nice builds, but for magic I like summoner with Calc sub job and teleport. Most maps u can teleport to locations u can't be hit and reign down supremacy from above. It's God tier and a good choice for ramza solo playthrough but takes heavy grinding to master multiple job classes. Can also make a near invincible build after chapter 4 I think? Ramza as a geomancer with 100% defense and over 75% magic defense so pretty much anything they hit u with is nullified

[@J7Jase]

Why Summoner though? Black Mage has more MA when you are in the job and teleport it depends on move rate and summoner and black mage have 3 base move. The summoner sprite does look cool though. It depends on how you want to tackle a Ramza solo playthrough. I just like using his unique Squire abilities with auto potion.

[@Virtue-nq5xo]

You deserve a medal

[@J7Jase]

Thank you!

[@udalix]

A note on the Weigraf fight, pumping +speed into Ramza.. theres a cap, I think 50 speed, so you dont wanna do it for to long lol.

[@J7Jase]

Thanks for the comment I have a video guide specifically for that fight as well as a unique character guide too.

[@williamzeo2493]

I never thought of turning Ramza into a mage even with his awesome faith, this is something that I need to try out case this game come into Steam

[@J7Jase]

It works out really well. And if you love FFT a lot or ever in the mood you can start by just emulating it now, just back up your disc or UMD and emulate it. Awesome way to replay it

[@mistydolphin2524]

Idk how good it really is, but 1 build I always try to get him to before the end of chapter 3 is simply a nunja with brawler. Trivializes the Wiegraf fight, though his transformation is still a headache. Then basicly ohkos Elmdore.

[@J7Jase]

I mention that build in the video. Its better than Monk in my opinion because of higher speed and base move. It can work vs Elmdore but I rather just go after the Assassins. Elmdore has First Strike/Hamedo with 70 Bravery.

[@mistydolphin2524]

@@J7Jase Great minds think alike. I kid i kid, you obviously put more thought into these kind of things. That brawler ninja build was just something i came up with ages ago on a half baked whim. I still have a few kinks to work out in my overall builds/strategies.

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

I honestly never even heard of the "grind Gaffgarion into a Ninja" before, that sounds like pure hell grinding to 99 but I guess Berserked Frogs could do most of the work, with 1 unit monitoring and keeping HP up from everyone and the last enemy...maybe with an emulator this is actually feasible since you can speed the game up. Was really funny to see Ramza with a Chaos Blade in chapter 2 fights ^^

[@J7Jase]

Thanks so much! yeah it is annoying and it can take some RNG too and hassle in the next fight as most of the time ninja swords will just one hit KO Ovelia and you need to level him up slowly to throw excalibur, ragnarok and then chaos blades lol. The damage is fun and great lol

[@stormtrooperjon9212]

@@J7Jase yeah I didn't even consider the actual mission of protecting Ovelia...guess you need to "fence off" Gaffgarion by surrounding him but at the same time gotta kill all the Knights, Agrias and Delita so they don't interfere? Maybe on my next playthrough I'll try this but omg this sounds very annoying :D

[@rsavage29]

thanks for the tips master

[@J7Jase]

[@vision6095]

These are so amazing

[@J7Jase]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. Took a long time to get all the clips and etc.

[@roansythen]

Do you have a video explaining the Gafgarion level 99 thing you mentioned?

[@J7Jase]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYvGZGeVl8x-hKssi=CbTBdLvZAoS9JhIY Yes right here is my video

[@gutz5035]

How did you perma increase Ramza's bravery and faith above 90+?

[@J7Jase]

I have a video on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i56zqKmJmbSge6csi=fy6-oOtIuEOgeD3M But in short use Steel/Cheer up with Ramza to increase Bravery and learn Preach from the Orator to increase Faith. Just don't go past 94 Faith in other characters as they will leave the party.

[@WandererFromYs]

For the solo Wiegraf fight, use chameleon robe and first strike, and he will basically kill himself. The brawling ninja is good early/mid game, but eventually using attack up and 2 swords is going to put pace it. I would love to see a full video on the gafgarrion trick. Grinding to 99, and getting enough Jp spill over from 5-6 classes in just 2 battles seems like an insane amount of grinding, and no one seems to talk about it. How long would this actually take?

[@J7Jase]

He will sometimes use Shockwave and Aurablast which will work around First Strike and his second phase is something people need to worry about too. If Bravery is high enough Fists will do more damage but I still prefer late game Knight Swords because of things like Regen. That would take a long time to do not to mention edit. Easily over 15 hours, to get the proper clips, grind etc

[@taipolar333]

No life builds that break the game? YES PLEASE!

[@J7Jase]

Oh yes had to make a video for it lol.

[@bobseesall]

My brother always does brawler ninja. I just do dragoon Ramza.

[@J7Jase]

Dragoons are cool just wish speed wasn't a factor when it comes to Jump landing time.

[@mopbrothers]

J7Jase, do you consider equipping the Chamelon Robe as cheating? I personally never do it, cause it feels like it robs the thrill of the Wiegraf battle. Though I can see why a first timer probably would need it. You should do a special video showing Belias's stats and all his dangerous moves. I used a Kiyomori and put Magic Def up on all my characters and he still did 180 damage with his Clops summon. Absolutely unreal damage. He does 525 damage x target faith/100. So If a character has 50 faith, his Clops does about 262 damage.

[@J7Jase]

I do consider it cheating in a way but it is also one of the best ways to defeat Wiegraf why its in this video. If it wasn't I wouldn't have put best lol. I don't know the stats he has at the top of my head 1000 HP, but I do have an ability showcase video for him. I also did a Dark Solo where he just runs up to me and physically attacks me too lol. Yeah it does a lot of damage lol. I also want to say that if you have Taurus and Capricorn he will also deal more damage too so that is another factor.

[@mopbrothers]

@@J7Jase I've play through FFT countless times and I don't think any other boss or "story" battle enemy does that much damage with an attack, outside of Hashmalum's Meteor or Elidib's Zodiac. Guess that's what make the battle so legendary. Regardless, excellent video as always!

[@J7Jase]

@@mopbrothers You make an excellent point. I think in terms of story fights I can't think of an enemy who hit me harder lol. The best I got was a random black chocobo hitting me for 600 something lol. Wish I recorded that too

Speaking of no life builds, I used my melee mode to master all jobs with Ramza and four generics at level one. Play time says 44 hours, but I'd just toad and berserk everyone then afk. Now I have a save at the start of the game with all jobs mastered for any future play troughs.

To have the final word. Chemist, Priest, and Monk are available early on. Their healing powers are more than enough to beat the game.

Yes you have a point however this video was for the best thing for Ramza in early and the mid game

[@Greatermaxim]

I am testing the limits of correct content. I almost always have item as one of Ramza's abilities. Math Skill is one of his final abilities. White Magic and Punch Art take a little longer to learn without the JP Scroll Glitch. A bad habit of a master gamer. lol. @@J7Jase
