Because our patreon-exclusive movie pod is mothballed while the strike is on, I've gone back to LPing to try to finally get through one of the biggest blind spots in gaming to me: FFT! Join me every week as I play through the game for $5 patrons, and help me get through this game I've found too difficult for literally 20 years!

in reply to @em-being's post:
My immediate thought is "what if Em hates it?" Which is not a healthy response, I realize.
I hope you enjoy. To this day I love the way you can customize a character build in that game. It continues to be wild to me that more of the progression mechanics have not been widely copied into other RPGs.
Oh hell yeah I am so excited about this, even if you end up disliking it I think this plus like tactics ogre is really informative for the shaping of the tactics RPG genre
I'm more worried about not being good enough to finish it, more than I am how I'll like the story lol
Unsolicited advice follows, so feel free to ignore:
When you get halfway through chapter 3, there will be a cutscene where meet a character named Belias (PSP)/Velius (PS1) in an outside setting. You will want to make a backup save here.
Velius' fight is literally the hardest mandated fight in the game and is past a point-of-no-return. But the cutscene is before this point-of-no-return, so if you get soft-locked into an unwinnable battle, you don't lose much progress and can prepare your team more. Or you can do the "Accumulate/Yell" strategy. I've only ever beaten Velius legitimately once after 10+ losses that night.
Other than how absolute hell the Velius fight is, I love FFT and hope you enjoy it.
