Final Fantasy Tactics Lore ► Ramza Beoulve's Origins Explained 

We know you've all been waiting a while for this particular Origins video... so we thought it would be rather nice to deliver this was we start on our new journey throughout 2020! Fingers crossed you guys enjoy and we'll see you in the next video :) ~Darryl/Lauren

His story is why i absolutely love Tactics. He was the unseen hero, stopping the main threat, a true hero.

To this day I still find Ramza's story as one of my favorites, it took 400 hundred years for his name to be cleared in history as a heretic

Let's not forget that after the story ended, Orran wrote a paper on Ramza's heroics and asserted he was not a heretic... Orran was then burned at the stake, and his manuscript is what the story is based on.

Ramza's probably one of the best characters Square has ever written, probably ever will write. The kind of man who sees two paths and choose the one less traveled not because of rewards here or in the hereafter, but simply because it was the right thing to do. More the Knight than anyone else in the game, he was never more than but the Squire in title.

He became my favorite when he says in a cutscene "I'll do what I must to see you free even if it means walking headlong into a trap" at this point in the game he starts WILLINGLY going into ambushes and winning what a badass

Ramza Beoulve had lived his life the only way that he had known. But when the pillars of that life came crashing down, he did not stand and watch them fall. He turned, and walked away...

WOOHOO! Finally!! Ramza and Tactics are criminally underrated. As the first Final Fantasy I played from start to finish, Ramza and Tactics hold a special place in my heart. While most people look up to Cloud Strife, I look up to Ramza Beoulve ss my inspiration

“They wanted to push the boundaries in a serious story ....” *adorable ff tactics death sound.*

Tactics could not possibly be more underrated among the Final Fantasy games. The story was epic and engrossing, and the characters, in spite of their pixelated appearance on screen, were perhaps the most real characters of ANY game bearing the title "Final Fantasy".

Tactics probably has one of the best storyline and characters in FF imo. I really love the lore of the game. I find it interesing as well for Delita since he pretty much is the opposite of what Ramza has become. He is another character that deserves his own separated video.

I played this game for the first time when I was 10. I am 33 now. Tactics is not only my favorite Final Fantasy game, it is my favorite video game ever. I would love something more from this series. A true sequel or perhaps a remake or remaster.

This game needs a legit sequel man

I bought Final Fantasy Tactics when I was 15 (about June 2002). when I first played, I got about halfway through the first chapter and wasn't feeling it. The only reason I even bought the game was because I was a stupid, silly cloud fanboy and knew that he was in it. I didn't actually start appreciating the game until years later, after playing FF12 and finally falling in love with the world and music. when it came particularly to the music, I remembered the soundtrack of Tactics being beautiful, which led me to go back in ernist. One track in particular has stuck with me, being the hero's theme, a track that marked major points in Ramza's story. It often brings me to one of the strongest moments in the game, Blade of Grass. That moment has always left an impact on me... Ramza, a young man wanting to bring equality to noble and commoner alike. Delita, a commoner seeing the glaring difference between the 2 of them, and feeling useless for it. That was an impactful moment that for some reason drove me to, since starting 16 years prior, pushed to finally see the story to its end. It was to the point where I honestly cared more about Ramza and bringing his journey to a close once and for all, rather than getting Cloud, who was my whole reason for having the game in the forest place. As I've grown, I've learned to appreciate Tactics, and its deep beauty, including the beauty of a character that originally, I did not like, but grew to love

BEST PROTAGONIST EVERR

FF Tactics is such a beautifully crafted game in every aspect. Not too shabby of a video on Ramza. Thank you for giving some time for my favorite FF character and game.

I beat this game like 100 times. Definitely my favorite game of that time.

Video about Tactics? Instant watch 😍😍😍

Ramza is beautiful inside and out, definitely my favourite protagonist of any Final Fantasy game. It probably helps I was obsessed with Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics as a kid. Good job as always! c:

Yes! Ramza, the best Final Fantasy MC!

Yessss my boy gets his time in the sun!! The best of the Beoulve's

This is one of the most underrated final fantasy titles... I did not expect seeing a vid @ this date... Thank you man

this is the best and my favorite final fantasy by far, the emotions, the incredible idea behind this whole game.. its a masterpiece

This video was absolutely outstanding. Tactics is one of my all-time favourite games and you managed to retell Ramza's story in such a calm and concise manner. I really enjoyed this, thank you for doing such a good job.

At last some love for Tactics

Ramza definitely one of my top favorite final fantasy main character stook to his moral always did what was right and never asked nothing in return. Even thought he was labeled a heretic and was forgotten by history he prevent the world from getting destroyed by getting rid of the lucavi. Delita also made the world better by getting rid of the corrupted noble system in ivalice even thought he became was he hated most to accomplish that. I understand he was driven by revenge for the death of his sister tetra but I dont think she would have love the person he became if she was still alive to see it. I really wish he returned by Ramza side when he ask him to join him again at the zeltenia church because you can tell Delita is unhappy in the secret ending, questioning whether Ramza got what he wanted at the end of his journey.

How anyone could dislike such a good video is beyond me

I thought the graphic design of Ramza was kind of meh, but the character was so well developed that it really grew on me as did the rest of the supporting cast. FFT is so well designed, I would re-buy it multiple times over updated platforms

To be honest I have said this since I was 10 years old when watching my babysitter son play the game and me only being able to play the first battle because I wasn't allowed go save on his memory card i love this game its hands down my favorite game of all time i have beaten it 20 or more times i get hit hard in the feels every time i see it I even remember when I first got my dad to buy it I was never more excited for a game....this game...god this game

I love these character Origins videos! Please keep making more of them!

For me Ramza means that truimph in life and recognition comes from within and if any then from few people.

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy for decades and I love your videos

The thing about tactics is that the whole world is so nurtured by coherence and texture through conflict and dialogue, that characters, represented exclusively by a bunch of pixels, are able to gain an astounding depth. Ramza has a very charming character development, but the way it ripples within his environment makes him excellent (as when someone excels).

Yes! Definitely one of my favorite FF characters!

Love your videos. They are so well thought and insightful. Great content. Thanks

Final Fantasy 8 and Tactics were my introduction to the series overall I was so happy you did Squall's origins and very happy you did Ramza's as well. Both, IMO, are the characters to undergo the most growth out of all the protag's in the series as a whole. Thanks for covering both characters.

Very good video! Someone from Type-0 next?

Awesome Origins/FFT Video! I spent countless hours playing this game during my childhood!! Also Laguna Loire next!!!

Absolutely brilliant video. Well done

Ramza is the symbol of justice, he has pure heart, he seeks no glory, he just do things because that's the right thing to do he believe in his cause, and he does everything he can to make things right what a character, he's my favorite character of all time, of any video game, his personality is the best, the true hero, unsung hero

God, this is beautiful video.. A tribute to the underrated character ever. My take on Ramza is that this is the knight should have been.. The ending left a bittersweet feeling in my chest tho. After everything he done, he still branded as a monster by the people and it took so long to finally clear his name..

I originally played FF Tactics because Cloud was in it but i'm happy i played this game all those years ago. I never expected to find such an amazing final fantasy protagonist. Ramza has been my favorite FF character since. I could not click on this video fast enough. This was a real treat!

FF tactics was my firsr FF game, man To this day it is still my favorite game and ramza being my favorite character as well great video

Excellent video! I hope you do an origin for Delita sometime.

Any FF Tactics character is an automatic must-watch. I would love to see another character in this game roster get covered in the near, or distant future. (Hint: We need a Delita video, and one that talks about the parallels/foils between him and Ramza)

Never played Tactics. But i played Tactics Advance on the Game Boy I'll say this tho. This should be a high budget Anime. With the story telling as deep as the Witcher and GOT and connected characters and backstory like FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Another great video from you guys. Love the content. Keep it up.

YES MY DREAM HAS BEEN REALIZED.

🙏🙏🙏 thankyou so much for covering Ramza!

As a old soul that used to work on gamefaqs. Read GameF.A.Q.s as GameFacs the same sound as FACTS.

Thank you for doing such an amazing job covering Ramza, one of my favorite characters from my absolute favorite game. He is the true unsung hero that Ivalice needed but did not deserve. Balbanes brought him up right!

I know this doesn;t have many views but thanks for making it mate! I loved this game as a kid, replayed it so many times just for the fun gameplay and stellar story. This was a nice trip down memory lane, though kid me missed a lot of the character development you pointed out lol.

I love these videos and instantly tap to watch when I see them on my dash. Would you ever want to do a video over Luso from FFTA2?

so many details I missed on my first play through as a kid :’) thanks for this

Such a great video and a wonderful game.

I love the progression of the party throughout the video.

Ramza has been and always will be one of my favorite characters. He is a true hero and has such an interesting journey. I also love the world he is in and always hope to revisit it.

This is a fantastic video, but I can't believe you didn't mention Wiegraf! One of the greatest anti-heroes in RPG history and such a *great* foil to Ramza. His tragic story is so integral to the rest of the narrative. Still love this though!

I truly thank you for this excelent video.

Beautifully done!

OMG! this is my all time favorite game that we bought for our children along with the very first Playstation system. My two sons and I, absolutely loved this because, it was so different to the other Final Fantasy games. We are Final Fantasy freaks. We loved them and can't get enough of them. I have been wanting to play tactics on my laptop, just can't afford it. The game rules!

Thank you. I have waited for some explanation into FFT

I saw someone else post this but I strongly agree, Delita needs a video

those videos are great man

The writing in FFTactics is so deep. So many characters and weaving storylines intertwined into one of the greatest RPG stories to date.

They did a video on Ramza's friend but I hear it was Delitad

I've always loved the unique artstyle of this game. During the end credits, they show it off to its maximum potential. If any game ever needed a remake, FFT certainly deserves the same recognition that VII has since they came out around the same time. Ramza rocks! Thanks for the upload.

Since you’ve started talking about Ivalice, would a Vagrant Story video be out of the question?

I just played through this a week ago. Nice video

This is the video that made me subscribe, Thank you :)

Very nice!!!! Thank you.

I am currently researching and designing a Ramza tattoo for my arm. This is awesome and helpful. thank you

I never understood fftactics storyline. So I appreciate this video alot . I now have a newfound love for ramza 💙 I can definitely relate .

"here lies good boi ramza beoulve. He tried."

Would love to see one of these for Penelo. Since I bet she has more story behind her than meets the eye.

Oh Gods yes, this is a video ive been looking forward to for a long time!

Awesome write up. One of my fave game of all time.

One of my favourite game. And we need this in all plataforms, steam, ps4/xone and switch, would be really great. Thanks a lot for the video!!

Miluda touch Ramza some essencial lessons for life Empathy Alterity Nice job!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Bravo!!! Loved this FF origin! Do Noel Kreiss from FF13-2 NEXT!

Ramza yelling his way to victory since his appearance. Ramza’s my favorite FF hero.

Ramza and Delita are some of my favorite characters in any media. They are so complex and 3-dimensional, and their struggle with morality and duty is something i still hold onto to this day. Delita is definitely an excellently written anti-hero and a misguided "bad guy" done right. God I love tactics. Still my top favorite final fantasy.

Rare channel i clic the bell Thx for your work

Good job 👍

Might I ask you to do an origens to Marche too? The protags in Tactics have always been my faves and I rarely see videos about either, tho I do see more on best boy Ramza than I do of Marche.

i think what sets Ramza apart is that he has no special powers except "Chant" which him and delita can only use. which is sacrifice HP to give to someone else. it show's Ramza's true power is selflessness above all else. not to mention a good portion of his followers are either followers from the academy, people he saved, fellow mercenaries, members of the Lionsguard and a sword saint. all willing to fight and even die to help Ramza.

this game was my childhood, i played it sooooo much

This is the story I fell in love with. Ramza is my no. 1 ff character in my books. Its already 25 years and no FFT 2 in sight. I'm really hoping for one.

I wish we had a Final Fantasy Tactics sequel that was as heavy as the original. I like Advance and A2, but I want more like the original.

This is great id love to see more on the lore of FFT like lucavi origin or gafgarion

I love this game so much. It's on my top 3 FF games. So watching this video and learning more about him than I already knew was great. Thank you

My boy finally got his origins video!

Great Origin story you did here. Could you please do one on Delita when you have the time.

After looking at that armor at 18:00, I see why back attacks are so much more effective.

Thanks for this. I played this game a long time ago. Loved it and spent countless hours but was to young to fully comprehend the story. Much like the older final fantasy games.

Just discovering your videos guys, love them! Especially fond of this game

What I would like to see in a future origins video, a video about Snow Villiers.

Hands down one of my favorite characters.

Best game ever. Whenever I have time, I play this on my psp even I finished this game a million times. Thank you for this video. Brings back memories.🙇

Why isn't Tactics available on Steam?

The fight against Wiegraf/Belias was the original “Souls like”
