Finished another play-through of a classic game I'm sure most of you have played before--this time without the assistance of the god-tier character "Orlandu." This game is a bit underwhelming towards the end, as the difficulty drops off steeply. I probably could've won with just two characters. Shrug
Still a dope game; I'd like to play the PSP remake some day for the new translation and gameplay tweaks, but I don't have a PSP, I guess I'll have to wait for the conversion project to be completed.

[@straightupballin3]

Seeing "This game is complete" was one of the best moments of my young gaming career.

[@oswaldsdepression1100]

straightupballin3 Mine too! :D such good memories!

[@dorothybelrose9167]

I didn't know it would be the last battle so it really confused me xD

[@MidKnighToker]

Same here. I still say it's the hardest Final Fantasy to date. Losing party members after spending hundreds of hours levelling them up is pretty devastating. But there was just some fights where for instance they had an unblockable petrified spell. I love The Secret/chance characters was one of my favourite parts. that lancer whos name idk, Close Strife, that awesome robot. My favourite too early PS games were Xeno gears and final fantasy tactics

[@MidKnighToker]

This was my first ever FF title. I obsessed over it b4 I was able to own it, I remember a time where it wS really expensive before they re-released it and sold it for like 20 bucks completely dropping the floor in it lol

[@Edward-bm7vw]

Well when you have a Javelin that can do 900 damage you wouldn't exactly need Orlandu or any other character for that matter. May as well solo the boss

[@potatomatop9326]

When you have a wizard with math skill holy that deals 999 damage to the entire map, you don't need jesus.

[@MrVariant]

Beowulf does 775 with drain and Excalibur lol. I was thinking of making a video though not worth the work (let alone cloud data on remake would have me do all the final battles to be bored lol) as it seems to be public knowledge though the boss didn't even get 1 turn lol until I let her. Let alone Reis holy breath with tynar rouge can hit the middle panel multiple times for 1200. Orlandu is just a handicap for those who are too young (ie 14 year old me) or don't know how to break the game (even trolled boss with double holy with white mage Reis and a mime, which it is broken even without math skill due to the boosts).

[@blenderup919]

How Javelin damage 900??? Lv 50+ Character lol

[@Edward-bm7vw]

[@danield.6452]

I LOVE the (No Orlandu) part 🤣

[@MrDeathnotefan98]

that was what the story writer was going for, delita represents 'false good' which is doing bad things for good ends and ramza represents 'true good' doing good deeds for the sake of doing them, regardless of reward or recognition.

[@jangzterrizer9405]

I remember this game, I stayed as a monk and boy! Ramza feels like son goku

[@potatomatop9326]

I remember using a wizard with math skill holy and deal 999 damage to the entire map. Now that's ultra instinct.

[@aee3234]

Aaaa yes, the monk, the best class ever

[@bakacdaz]

With that Super Low Polygon and 16-bit Sprite. I still feel this battle so epic!!

[@Bro-kq2xo]

Just so if anyone didn't know, FF tactics story is concluded in FFXIV Stormblood Expansion

[@MrLednard]

How the fuck ?

[@tripwirecreator25]

My first time beating this game I had Agrias sacrificing herself with moving next to the boss, so she would take damage as well with her spell, beating her. Hilarious yet satisfying.

[@Renulph]

Ramza's his own little one man army, gotta love 'em.

[@chriscortezdbs7084]

Gran batalla final amigo, yo también lo vuelvo a jugar y ya voy por el capitulo 1 (y)

[@makhyusnimakhyusni401]

Love how you not used powerhouse job like ninja or samurai

[@Renulph]

@RunningWildVidya There were a few annoying fights for me. Fort Zeakden, the Gafgarion ambush stage where Ramza is stuck fighting him, multi-part Wiegraf fight at Riovanes, multi-part Marquis Elmdor fight with his assassins that have 100% instant kill moves... I think there are more, the Izlude fight is pretty tough, too.

[@gs-nq6mw]

This game atmosphere /artstyle is something unique

[@IceHibiscus]

Deciding you don't need Orlandu is the decision to take the training wheels off of the bike.

[@Renulph]

Not really, game is already easy and still is without him. The only parts of the main game that are difficult are some of the story battles that have game overs if an NPC dies, or maybe the 3 part Riovanes section. Game gets easier as it goes on, Orlandu comes at a point you should already be stomping everything.

[@elementsofphysicalreality]

I wish this game would come out on the Switch. I loved the remake for the GBA. The original was tough. Perma death and having to recruit low level soldiers made it impossible for me as a kid.

[@NueThunderKing]

It was not a remake, it was its own thing, and chronologically it was the first game, with this being the last and FFXII somewhere in the middle.

[@MidKnighToker]

Thats a crazy fn fast finish right there. Favourite part of the game was collecting the optional character such as Orlandu, Cloud Stirfe , that awesome robot & the lancer that among many others. It always felt great when u could capture an enemy. I must've spend 500 hours or more grinding & figuring out all the secrets. This was in 98 well b4 the net rose tk popularity and I was 15 there wasn't an option to get the 60 strat guide

[@foodmr2022]

Wow the continent where everyone worship this being is actually a monster. Ramza, Alma and his party fought against it saved their world. If only people knew the saint is devil.

[@Mstrwnr]

I love how you added "no orlandu" on the title. Things does get pretty easy after you get added too the party

[@LuisGomez-py3py]

I remember my ramzas job was between samurai and ninja, he was so powefull! I miss this game...

[@MidKnighToker]

Who here messed up getting cloud the 1st time and re-played the entire game with just that in mind?

[@bubblegumxo]

Just finished this for the first time a few days ago. I binged it in about a week, so some of it is a blur, but I did EVERYTHING that EVERY guide I could find told me to do. I could NOT get the temple battle to trigger that gives you human Reis, which is apparently a prerequisite to getting Cloud. I beat the game (rather easily I might add, it's insane how much you can break this game) but I just feel this emptiness, because there's a good chance I'll NEVER play through this again. 😭😭😭

[@ggsimmonds1]

After the Weigraf fight there was no challenge. But I remember that fight being so hard everything before it was done to prepare for it.

[@manuunam23]

wiegraf is difficult only because casual players face him unprepared. At that point, most gamers try to muscle their way through all kind of enemies with no baring to tactics or maybe, if pressured by a powerhouse (till that point you don't face real challenges), go all vs one against the boss but going solo against wiegraf with a tactically inferior, party dependant Ramza spells doom to many players. I remember the first time I played FFT (a long time ago) I went monk against him and destroyed his ass on the second try (after being overwhelmed by holy sword). Also, The reason why it gets easier with game time it's because you get better equipment and a larger skill set, it's only logical, you're used to fighting face to face, mano a mano with underdeveloped enemies but wiegraf has the gamebreaking holy sword skills at his disposal which don't even require that much skill to turn battles to his advantage. Actually, what I think screws the game up terribly is recruiting Orlandu. He is too overpowered. Excalibur and full holy sword skills? it's just too much... from that point on you go Orlandu soloing the whole game... and you will probably win.

[@ggsimmonds1]

Manuel Alvarado Orlandu was a gamebreaking character. But Weigraf was something else. It is kinda like you said, up until that point you went through the game a certain way and it worked but then this guy comes along and it is a different challenge all together. but it has nothing to do with casual gamers. That is bs. If you did not have Ramza built a specific way you were in trouble. There is nothing casual about deciding to make Ramza a mage and then get destroyed by Weigraf. Unless you had a guide or heard from someone else about what to expect the fight was luck. If you happened to build Ramza a certain way it may not have been too difficult.

[@manuunam23]

it was not luck based, it was about being able to survive without the rest of the squad. Most gamers would just charge and hope a white mage or another support would throw them a phoenix down or a potion when needed. You could defeat wiegraf anyway you like as long as you could have equal or more speed than him. Velius was hard, really hard. Wiegraf wasn't

[@ggsimmonds1]

I lump both battles as the Weigraf fight. To me the first part was harder than when he transformed to Velius. How do you know what most gamers did? This was before the internet was widespread. You could not defeat Weigraf anyway you like and it was more than having equal or greater speed; you had to have a significant edge in speed. It was a difficult fight and the suggestion that it was only difficult for casual players is absurd. If you had prior knowledge of the fight then you know what to expect and the difficulty is drastically lowered. But if you played the game when it was first released and went into it without knowing what to expect it was difficult.

[@manuunam23]

im talking from personal experience. It's not congruent to forget that fact to make it look like I base my assumptions from others gameplay. FFT was/is not a very complex game. The help menu was very friendly so you could really abuse the system. Im talking about having high bravery + martial arts for example, mana shield + mp regen walking, chakra and earth slash... you could do a real lot of thing to defeat wiegraf without any real problem besides being attacked twice by him, ergo you needed equal speed at least.

[@myLIFEforRPG]

ZOMG. Nuff said. The Escutheon and the Javelin's rare forms are two things I never managed to acquire, lolol

[@TheKyleKuN]

you should sell your potions so the only ones you have in inventory are the highest possible, so when you auto-pot it does that instead of the regular potion :D

[@balthier-leadingman3782]

Its a shame they didnt make this fight as epic as the music! They had the perfect opportunity to make this battle more difficult when they remade the game for the psp. Still a masterpiece as is tactics ogre which also has a very easy end boss! It seems to be a theme with tactical rpgs, ff tactics 1 and 2 for the gba and ds also had easy final boss fights as did tactics ogre the knight of lodis

[@Renulph]

@RunningWildVidya I've heard of it, I don't think the majority of the game needs to be more challenging, because the beginning of the game is still pretty tough - it's how the difficulty tapers off rapidly in chapter 4 and becomes way too easy.

[@Renulph]

Javelin II, you get it from Nelveska Temple. Bloody hard to obtain, though.

[@MrDeathnotefan98]

onion knight is a class unlocked when all jobs are mastered, basically the onion knight has access to all abilities in the game.

[@tonydv9260]

No

[@DragovainLord]

[@Renulph]

@romainechester He has the Javelin II equipped and I think I may have had a skill boosting his attack further. Maybe double hand.

[@dradamov]

And here I was farming chaos blades from the lowest dungeon level so I could get my knights high dmg :D

[@Renulph]

That Wiegraf fight took me about 30 tries and I couldn't get out.

[@Renulph]

Not sure if I even bothered to use 'em in this play-through, or ever, by the time I get him, I've already invested so much into my starters that I don't want to swap them out with anyone. I get attached. :X

[@oswaldsdepression1100]

This game gave me so many problems my first time through- I had to restart against weigraf/belias. Now it’s on my phone I can play whenever. I have a ramza level 6 dark knight a couple battles into the first chapter, so when I ever want to replay the game I take it from there...

[@chrisboulay3194]

wow this is so awesome game

[@scurvypirate4855]

Ramza : The decedant of a warrior who fought bravely against demons of the past and a very important unit to FFT. That claimed him as a "heretic" but asides his power to slay down the whole zodiac demons circle he died being still a *FUCKING SQUIRE* claps

[@Greatermaxim]

You can beat the original game at level 1. My best achievements are a blitz Ninja run and no deaths, falls, and game overs. I have beat the game in many different ways. We can mod the game to be more challenging these days though. Congrats doing it without Orlandu-it takes me back.

[@tenebrous-merciless.3962]

Yeah Orlandu is the man. However its not difficult at all to own if you know what you are doing in this game without Orlandu, Agrias, Mediadoul, or the Dark Knight job (If you have the War of the Lions version). Also didn't cheese in this game with an Arithmetician/Calculator also. :) I beat the game with Ramza as a Monk, 2 Generic Monks, Generic Black Mage with Summoner as secondary, and a Vampire Cat monster. :) This is a classic fun game anyway anyone can play. Great vid.

[@chrisropherboulay]

Wow this game is so awesome and cool 😎

[@greensquare4499]

Such a great game... they don’t make em like this anymore. REMAKE!

Buen video Bro

[@Renulph]

Thanks Darick!

[@Hectictude]

Goodness, with damage so high, I can see why! XD

[@npcDroneClass]

there was a hack that makes this battle so much more satisfying. altima's speed is increased 6x giving several turns between your team. makes the fight a LOT more challenging as you're trying to keep your guys alive and not have their charging interrupted... and it gives Altima more HP. velius' fight was pretty scary stuff, there's no reason why they didn't put make altima that much harder.

[@octagonoid]

I just cheesed Ultima with percental damage. Lich, Drain and Climhazzard are so ridiculous, especially considering that your stats are irrelevant to them and Drain is obscenely spammable.

[@micaholson7293]

Let's say no Balthier either while we're at it.

I thought while watching this I'll see some strategy and some struggle(lvl 45) but all I saw was overpowered characters to the roof with no challenge at all.what's the point of putting no orlandu in the title if all the other characters are more powerful than him.

[@Renulph]

Veralian IV Why no one can accept a video for what it is, is beyond me. I did a lot of side content and I don't see how I'm OP if I'm still using skills like auto potion 30. This boss has always been very easy every time I play through the game. Orlandu's skill set is what makes him powerful, so I opt not to use him because he breaks the game. I'm using pretty basic classes that just happened to be built up nicely. To accuse me of cheating when I'm doing reasonable damage is hilarious. Learn your shit.

[@melekeddine]

Lodey I know my shit since I got that javelin before.Using auto potion 30 ain't an excuse if the enemy can't even touch you also Dealing 900 dmg means that you need to have at least have 30 ATK(zodiac compatibility excluded) ,so either you're cheating or using the delevel trick which is a poor way to make you characters such as ramza very uber.Your game is already broken to not use orlandu.

[@Renulph]

Veralian IV Not even going to bother, you've already made up your mind to be a moron. Never heard of someone complaining of a comfortable level grind in an RPG, you seem like that person who loses in a multiplayer game and reports the player that beat you out of spite. Please, you are sad, I don't even know what this "de-level trick" is you speak of.

I don't use Orlandu at all, not just on this boss, so that's an incorrect assumption. The other methods you mention require some type of mechanical understanding of the game to pull off and are not a gift-wrapped character provided automatically in the story that steamrolls everything with no effort required.

[@tiagocrypto]

My first Playthrough i decided to make ramza a monk early in the game. It was because the squire class were horrible in comparison to other initial class like the Holy Knight, Dark Knight and other special class the guest characters could have. The damage from normal attacks without any weapon were very high, most of the monk abilities are very good, no cost, instant cast, good range. So when i faced wiegraf in the one on one battle i smashed him. I was very lucky, and because of this Monk is my all time favorite class in FFT

The game was tough for me the first time ever, but once you know what you're doing and how to build up a well-balanced squad and abuse the game's mechanics, even the scaling system can't compete. Thanks for the comment!
