Final Fantasy Tactics Mandalia Plains Very Rare Battle! (Guest Dragoon)

[@J7Jase]

Thank you to Ikazuchi for suggesting this Dragoon fight. It was very rare and it too me hours to trigger though. kzbin.infofeatured There were also a few others who commented on my Ramza having a different appearance as well. Thank you all again for the viewers and members as well!

[@mopbrothers]

One thing I never knew about FFT: A battle layout will depend on which direction you come from on the map. Example: If you come from Golgorund execution site to Barius Valley you can possibly encounter a Tiamat. That’s the only way to get that rare battle.

[@J7Jase]

Yeah that happens. I also have an upload of those Tiamats on my channel too if you ever want to see that lol.

[@profo4544]

back when this game first came out getting tiamats at barius hill was like a huge secret, i was young but this came out like almost as a release title for the ps1, i remember one of my neighbors swaring he saw hydras at barius hill, and an older kid kept saying no i doubt it i beat the game this and that, and then we actually got one. I remember everyone thinking deep dungeon was the only place to get them

[@cloudzack1090]

Man I never knew that, I dip back into this game every so often, its very time consuming process I find doing a playthrough. Never knew that about the encounters

[@benjaminbomberry3782]

The Dragoon is definitely my favorite melee unit. Nothing like playing like Kain from Final Fantasy IV. Once you master the class, you can just jump all over the board.

[@J7Jase]

Totally. I gotta replay the FF4 remake and the After Years remake as well sometime. 👍And playing as Kain in Dissidia 012 was a real treat with his Jump ability too.

[@benjaminbomberry3782]

@@J7Jase I recently just replayed IV on mobile. The SNES was my first introduction to Final Fantasy, been a fan ever since.

[@J7Jase]

@@benjaminbomberry3782 Nice good stuff. I mostly play on my PC so I'm looking at some Steam versions. I did play FF4 when it was rerleeased in some collection on the PS1 it was a great time.

[@foxbear60]

For all of the replays I've done of this game, I've never tried doing a run making a party of other FF Characters (like a Kain dragoon). That seems like a fun idea!

[@aleccampbell7707]

FF XIV has a heavy Dragoon themed expansion

[@dimitrilh1658]

I remember the 11 monk encounter at grog hill.... and almost got my shit wrecked by them. Great encounter honestly.

[@J7Jase]

It honestly is. The random rare battles are really really cool in this game

Thanks so much for this awesome comment! I love FFT with all my heart so I have a lot of things planned for it and a lot more.

[@deviancepurplehaze6045]

This battle is even rarer than the duel between the Knight and the Minotaur. I never get it myself!

[@J7Jase]

It is. This and the dragon one took me many hours to trigger.

[@stevel935]

Endgame had the most randomly random random battles. I remember the calculator army and the ninjas that threw rare weapons.

[@J7Jase]

Yes there are cool ones. I have a dedicated playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLGGObC0B0MBo8dEoIArvsAaaolf1HCV6w

[@ThePantafernando]

The hardest fight I had in FFT was that where there was an army of chocobos of all colors. Given the lv scale, how fast they are and the long range ability of the colored ones, that one was hell.

[@J7Jase]

Oh yeah the ones at Finnath Creek and Balias Tor can be insane lol

[@Star841]

I came to the comments hoping I’d find someone who experienced this as well! It was shortly after launch of the game, but I remember a random battle where there were a dozen of them at start. They obliterated me. Only saw it once and never again.

[@LazyChillZone]

Jeez I thought this fight was one of those weird dreamlike childhood memories.

[@J7Jase]

I kinda don't blame you for thinking that! It was a mind wtf moment for me too

I absolutely love your work and videos J7Jase.. FFT has always been among my favorite games..🤩🤩💚💛🖤🤗🤗🤗

[@J7Jase]

Thank you so much Lady Loki for the wonderful comment! I am glad you enjoy my work and the videos. More FFT always to come. I have a lot more ideas and such I want out.

[@infiniteaaron]

Four hours?!! I believe all areas, from each direction, have SOME form of "rare" battle. I'd be amazed to see a few others. However, I do understand if they take THAT LONG to trigger, it's not really worth the attempt.

[@J7Jase]

Some are really cool and some aren't according to the guides. So I may just go after the cool rare battles or some that look appealing and interesting and perhaps eventually all very rare battles lol. It did take a long time but it was worth it in the end. A lot of people enjoyed this one. 👍

[@Toshinegawa]

Hey, you found it! Yeah, it's really a shame that these random Human Guest units don't offer to join. With how ridiculously rare some of these unique battles are, you should get some sort of reward for encountering them. Like the Guns from the rare Chemist and Orator fight

[@J7Jase]

Thanks for the comment and suggesting this. Although this took many hours lol. And I agree. If there was a Chocobo and Swine who offer to join us. I feel more of these guests should have that same option.

[@azzamofficial1636]

Human enemy units that appeared on random battle can be recruited by using orator skill change of heart or something (forgot the skill name). The skill that turn enemy a traitor. The hit rate is so low though

[@Toshinegawa]

[@imortal333]

It’s been a while since I’ve played FFT, more than a decade in fact. Back then I had beaten the game at least 3 times, (the first was my rather noobish younger self using a GameShark attachment for the ps1) and I never knew about set encounters, let alone rare ones like this! I’ll have to play this game again soon and see how different it is with my greater gaming experience!

[@J7Jase]

Oh wow can always play it on emulator now if you really want lol. But that awesome and no worries. It is a single player game after all so it's all about having fun first and foremost. There is always something fun and interesting. And nice! Sounds great 👍👍

Hi I used Lion Editor to change his secondary

[@peytongibbs2171]

Dope video, and I appreciate you continuing to make content for this amazing game. I guess I'll add a couple of notes for anyone else in the comments interested. This battle is only available in Chapter 4, so if you go searching for it before then, you'll be searching for a long time. Second, funnily enough, this is NOT actually the Mandalia Plains special rare battle, its a fun and unique, but still regular, battle! The actual special battle for Mandalia includes having multiple (potentially, its random) Guest Dragons against a Red Dragon and several Blue Dragons. This battle is also from Brigand's Den and only available in Chapter 4.

[@J7Jase]

I have a video on the special rare battle. This is the very rare battle. I point this out in both videos that I have uploaded.

[@TheShadowDragon26]

That isn't a rarity thing. In the original PS1 version, having a FF8 save file on your memory card would give a chocobo as the first pet. I don't know if you have to look at the file from the save menu, but that and a couple other games had content in Legend of Mana unlocked by having save files on your memory card.

The only thing I dislike about this game is when you get high level guest characters, but they get so few learned abilities as shown here.

[@J7Jase]

Yeah agreed there are a few issues about the game very few though. My main one is that is the special characters pretty much have no story after they join the party (for the most part.)

[@KLNDR]

"And it is all... Tactics Ogre." Speaking of Ogres, I was just thinking about how strong Let Us Cling Together / Reborn is in this category, for having a huge variety of alternate battle elements, elite & unique versions of both monsters & human opponents, and just tons of rich, awesome endgame content compared to FFT.

[@J7Jase]

FFT was rushed and there were a lot of things cut like Delita's storyline. However, there is also the multiplayer co op and pvp that War of the Lions Remaster has which a lot of people did not experience. While I love Let Us Cling Together, FFT is just more enjoyable from the feel of it and its more fun. But both are masterpieces.

[@KLNDR]

@@J7Jase in agreement about both masterpieces, and on the flip side of that coin as every iteration of LUCT is the definition of epic to me. Delita getting some more love woulda been wonderful!
