I was wondering who your "Perfect Battalions" are. Here's mine, you should copy it, you'll love it.


Ramza-Monk Br. 97 Fa. 84

EQUIPMENT
Right Hand-
Left Hand-
Head-
Body-Rubber Costume
Accessory-Bracer


ABILITIES
Innate Action Ability-Punch Art
Secondary Action Ability-Guts
Reaction Ability-Counter or Hamedo
Support Ability-Concentrate
Movement Ability-Move+3

Ramza is very good as a Monk. He can do just as much damage as a Ninja and he decent speed, he can heal and revive his teammates, he can use Scream which will raise his stats, and he won't be able to miss either! He's rock solid.



Orlandu -Holy Swordsman Br. 97 Fa. 84

EQUIPMENT
Right Hand-Chaos Blade
Left Hand-Venetian Shied
Head-Thief Hat
Body-Black Costume
Accessory-Germinas Boots


ABILITIES
Innate Action Ability-All Swordskill
Secondary Action Ability-White Magic
Reaction Ability-Blade Grasp
Support Ability-Short Charge
Movement Ability-Move+3

Orlandu can heal and revive his teammates in short amount of time with his Short Charge support ablility. He won't be able to be attacked while charging with Blade Grasp on. Combined with his powerful attacks, you have a VERY GOOD character.



Agrias -Holy Knight Br.97 Fa. 84

EQUIPMENT
Right Hand-Chaos Blade
Left Hand-Crystal Shield
Head-Ribbon
Body-Crystal Mail
Accessory-Setiemson


ABILITIES
Innate Action Ability-Holy Sword
Secondary Action Ability-Item
Reaction Ability-A Save, Counter, or Hamedo
Support Ability-Throw Item or Maintenance
Movement Ability-Move+2

Just like Orlandu, except she will do a little more than half his damage, she will be immune to status abnormalities, and she will be on Haste.



Beowulf -Temple Knight Br. 97 Fa. 84

EQUIPMENT
Right Hand-Excalibur
Left Hand-Kaiser Plate
Head-Grand Helmet
Body-Robe of Lords
Accessory-Magic Gauntlet


ABILITIES
Innate Action Ability-Magic Sword
Secondary Action Ability-Black Magic
Reaction Ability-Blade Grasp
Support Ability-Short Charge
Movement Ability-Jump+2

Beowulf is arguably the most versatile and not to mention, one of the best characters in the game. He is like a cross between a Knight, Wizard, and Oracle. The Robe of Lords, Magic Gauntlet, and his Kaiser Plate should give him a magic boost. He is very good with Black Magic. Since all monsters cannot make themselves immune to petrify, you should capitalize on them by casting Break. If his faith is 84, their faith has to be at least 62 for him to have a 100% chance of petrifying them. Just like Orlandu, it will be very hard to hit him while he is charging because of Blade Grasp. The Jump+2 will give him the ability to jump farther and higher. Finally, the almighty Excalibur will make his turns come around more often.



Sylia (default unit)-Samurai Br. 97 Fa. 84

EQUIPMENT
Both Hands-Chirijiraden
Head-Ribbon
Body-Maximillian
Accessory-Setiemson


ABILITIES
Innate Action Ability-Draw Out
Secondary Action Ability-Item
Reaction Ability-Counter or Hamedo
Support Ability-Two Hands
Movement Ability-Move+2

Sylia will be the first person to go in my team and I want her to so she can cast Kiyomori. She can do A LOT of damage with both hands on that beautiful sword, she will be immune to status abnormalities, and she will permanently be on Haste. But remember, she will have low HP so make sure you back her up.


Conclusion: I rarely bring these 5 together and I only bring them when I really need to win. I have them all 5 of them stick together and work together as a team to complete the objective or I have them split up in groups of 2 and 3, Orlandu and Sylia going one way and Ramza, Agrias, and Beowulf going the other way.

and teleport away.
(there are lots of walls and steep landscape in deep dungeon)

Why do kamakazi pilots wear helmets?

That's pretty creative, but I like sticking with the Ninja Swords.  Anyway, I like giving Knights White Magic or Ramza in his Squire Class White Magic.  It's like the Paladin job class from FFTA when you give them White Magic.  Try it.

I usually have Ramza as a squire/ knight with ultima chaos blade and auto potion (i always have him with guts i.e. ULTIMA), then Cid with excalibur, his class, plus auto potion, cloud with materia blade, a soldier ,with fast charge and auto potion

those r my top 3

also ill have my summoner, agrias or meloudial

In the future, please try to use fewer of these net abbreviations for words. It only takes two more keystrokes to type "your" instead of "ur", and it looks a LOT smarter. -R51

--------------------

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

This is a good forum

1. Ramza - Squire with the abilities of a Calculator and two handed sword
2. Cid - Master Swordsman with the item ability
3. Beowulf - Templar Knight with any side ability
4. Agrias - Holy Knight with either the power to summon or use white magic
5. Cloud - First Class Soldier with the ability to summon

Ramza, Cid, Beowulf are the people I use to get up close to attack.

Agrias is used to be a frontal assault and healer

Cloud is used to stay back and use first class soldier skills and summons.

--------------------

I will be the mustard of your doom!

The first couple times I played through FFT, I always had Unique chars in my party. But, it takes away from the challenge since a lot of the unique chars are obviously overpowered and greatly tip the scales in your favor *cough*ORLANDU*cough*.

It's been a while, but my most recent party was something like:

1. Ramza - Two Swords, Knight Sword, Ignore Height, Steal, Guts. He was basically a Ninja that was able to dish out a lot more damage due to Knight Sword and his Squire abilities.

2. Ninja - Two Swords, Ignore Height, Steal, Throw, Auto-Potion. A weaker version of Ramza with Auto-Potion to keep him alive.

3. 2 Mages - Black/Time with Calc.

4. Random char. Usually a white mage or Samurai for coolness factor.

Merged two similar topics.

Myself, I like to use all unique characters. I even go so far as to get their Brave and Faith where I want them, and in some cases choose their zodiac sign. I like to have a Wizard with White Magic, a Lancer with Steal, a Knight with Draw Out, and a few others.

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while

And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Sage(generic ninja)

attack up
move +2

Mustadio(usually engineer, but sometims chemist)

move+1

okay, thats mine for now. but i like to switch things up in this game EXTENSIVELY so it may change, and then--ill let you guys know. laters...



--------------------

once you can accept yourself, you will never be alone

For my last run through the game, I only used Ramza, so he was the sole warrior. The strongest combination I got for him was as a Squire with Math skill, Blade Grasp, Magic Attack Up and Teleport (or Move +3), and equiped with Excalibur, Aegis shield, Grand Helemt, Robe of Lords and Genji Gauntlet (or Defense Armlet, to easilly cast the blocking spells).
On my others parties, I usually use 2 magicians with Math skill, Ramza as a Squire with Draw Out, a Lancer and a Monk, or Ninja, Samourai...really whatever, including special characters.

Ramza: squire , Agrias:holyknight , Meloudial:her class
punch art , white magic , black magic
auto-potion , auto_potion , auto-potion
2-swords , attack up , 2-swords
_______ , ________ , _______

L-hand: , Lhand: , Lhand:

My perfect battalion is Orlandu...lol. One quick question...Its kind of off topic...o well. Is it true that you have to poach for a 'ribbon' and if so, what do you poach it off of?

Dealing out the agony within
charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
go against the grain until the end...

I usually put Maintenance on everyone, but you don't encounter Divine Knights very often and generic knights can't get close enough =p.

Also, you have to raise a Wildbow and poach it to get a Ribbon. A Wildbow is the third piece to the Pig family and you can only get it via another pig in your party. Catch a Porky and just walk around and you'll get one sooner or later. Then, when you do get one, save, enter battle, and poach it with Secret Hunt. If luck is on your side, you'll get a Ribbon. By the way, poaching doesn't count against your Casualty list.

Shotgunnova?! What the hell are you doing here?! Oh, to keep it on topic, Reis has an innate Two Swords, so an Attack UP or Equip Knife would be pretty nice on her.

When I started to text that stuff out, I had originally planned for Reis to be a Knight or Monk, but I think I cluttered it up with that Two Swords and putting 'Dragon' as a the primary skillset. Oh well.

Also, why do your men have such low Faith? Is is so that they'd be more magic resistant? It's affect your Agrias's Draw Out skill. Also, your Beowulf has two swords, a shield, and no helmet.

The miracles of editing.

Agrias' role is just to use her Holy Sword skills. I just put Draw Out on her mostly to use Masamune and Kiyomori, the skills that don't vary or depend on how much MA or Faith you have. The other skills are just dead weight I suppose, for the times I might want to hit two or three people. Good thing Samurai skills have decent vertical limits.

Especially Kikuichimoji. I used it on that small rock formation where you can find the Yoichi Bow in Delta, and it went over the rock formation, and hit every tile! That's amazing!
