Final Fantasy Tactics Most Overpowered Early Ramza Build 

After watching the whole video you put in some crazy grinding for this one. Respect!

Mandalia Plains has to be the most played battle field in the game

Imagine sending off your little LVL 1 bro into his first battle, he dissapears, leading you to believe that he was killed, then he comes back months later as a LVL 99 Maxed out Dark Knight.

Love this channel! I’ve played this game once a year at least since it came out in 1998. It was and is still a highly enjoyable game with boundless possibilities. Keep up the great work good sir!

Lmao, I did this exact thing about 15 years ago! That's awesome. The only difference is I used steal EXP to keep Ramza level 1, it was much easier having him gain JP at the same time.

Your passion for this game is commendable thank you all of you better like subscribe

Awesome video as always my fft bro! I just unlocked dark knight finally on my first character, named after me. My Ramza is very close but you just gave me more ideas for builds and for a future run in fft! Thanks for always inspiring! 🙏😎

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man Jase, you're crazy man, really crazy!!! I wanna know how many hours this took!! :D at the very end you made the suggestion that I was going to put if you hadn't mentioned it, just go for a Mandalia Plains Brawling Ninja Ramza with 97 Brave / 3 Faith! either way you broke the game completely with this insanely OP god-level Ramza LOL, nice video dude!!

🥇 heck ya! Love these videos 😊 Edit: was Coheed and Cambria playing in the background?

Great strategy and video as always. Rest of the game just wonders where the hell Ramza is, shows up lv 99 dark knight ☠️. Ultimate mediation. Wonder if there would be the same betrayl knowing Ramza is more powerful than Balbanes now. Side note, how old was Ramza in your brave story when the game actually started after all of that power leveling? 😮

Great Video

Man i love this game. I dont think ive sat down and FINISHED it since i was a kid. I tend to just go back to it, experiment, play around, feel the nostalgia, and quit lol. I appreciate your masochism.

Dark Knight is also available for the mobile version of the game. It's the one I'm playing. Doing 4 different files, 1 for a regular playthrough (probably might overpower), 2nd for my SCC (Single Class Challenge) Dark Knight playthrough (only able to use Dark Knight job and abilities. (For the jobs needed to unlock it, can use their abilities only while in that job), 3rd file is my "Pokemon Master, monster only" file (only allowed to use monsters and Ramza on my team, and the 4th file is my "Final Fantasy V Crystal Job Challenge", can only use jobs and abilities based on the chapter corresponds with said crystal. (So the only jobs which can be used are from the corresponding Crystals/Chapter. A list for better explanation: Chapter One - Wind Crystal: Squire (heh, Suppin), Knight, Monk, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, and Oracle (Blue Mage) Chapter Two - Water Crystal: Wind Crystal + Time Mage, Summoner, and Calculator (Red Mage). Chapter Three - Fire Crystal: Wind and Water + Bard, Archer, Mediator, Ninja, and Geomancer. Chapter Four - Earth Crystal: Wind and Water and Fire plus: Samurai, Lancer, Chemist, Dancer, Dark Knight, Onion Knight and Mime. Exception to this rule: Being a job for the sole purpose of moving on. A good example is the archer. If you want to have thief, you must go through archer. That's fine. Just don't equip any archer abilities until the Chapter three.) For that file I rolled Knight, Squire, Summoner, Mediator and Dancer. I made Ramza the Squire, my male Galuf the Knight, my female Reina the Summoner, my other female Faris the Mediator and my last female Krille the Dancer. Currently on the Lionel Gaffgaerion castle battle (the one where Ramza is "cut off" from the rest if the team by the gate.) 😮

Never went this deep with the setup, but every time I play this game I always rush dark knight pretty much right out of the gate. It's my favorite ff class. All I do is get the exact prerequisites needed for the class, and it still takes hours upon hours, I can't imagine how long this method must have taken you

This game is so good. Even the font is incredible and immersive

That is an insane amount of effort. Man he's going to be OP haha

on every battle field there is a spot of matching elevation. place the monk in the middle then all the other chars around him. have your other classes with mana shield and then just chakra all day long. i also use speed save on the monk, and have people dash or throw stone on the monk to gain speed.

Have you ever tried Final Fantasy 5? I played through for the first time recently, and while I had heard that it was the originator of the job system, I was still surprised with how closely the jobs lined up with their tactics counterparts.

The first time I played this game as a kid I grinded in the magic city until I had a full party of characters with Dragoon's jump, ninja dual wield, and I think auto potion. I would get guts and rock throw on everyone and just use those over and over to get XP (after getting JP Boost #1 of course). I had no idea of optimal strategies, but that combo took me through the majority with ease. I recall the only map that gave me a hard time was that one with all the different color chocobos. I don't know what I did to manipulate the stats, but those choco meteors would destroy me. I had to try over and over to get through it

Is it possible to save time by just using 4 generics initially, so while they're powering up, you can have Ramza in the 5th slot getting spillover? Also, instead of relying solely on spillover for Ramza when unlocking Mime, can you have a Thief that's stealing exp from him while he just uses Focus to grind JP, so he stays level 1 but gets JP faster? Curious as to what your experience is with these - awesome video!

Monks with equip armor from the Knight Job are pretty OP from the get go to end game. Armor gives better defense and hp overall. A weakness of the monk job. Monks skills like Chakra, Revive and Purification make them great personal/support healers. Offensive skills like Aurablast, Shockwave and Cyclone are great for some range or AoE. You can literally just make everyone Monks with equip armor and breeze through the entire game. Pick n choose your counter abilities, movement and second skillset. Love this guide to become the most op Ramza. If anyone has the time and patience to grind through it. All kudos to you

Ramza is the only character able to reach 97 Faith. Ramza need Calculator as sub-job with White Mage spell "Holy" and equiped with "Excalibur" sword (absorb holy). 1) You enter the Battle with Haste (Excalibur effect) 2) Cast Holy by CT (Everyone in battlefield with 100% CT). 3) KO everyone in the battlefield and you receive "Heal" (Excalibur effect). 4) GG. Battle is over.

You are the best FFT RU-vidr

I did not have the patience for this. If the game were hard enough I'd grind more.

this is off topic, but you can have gaffgarion throw end tier stuff in chapter 2 when he turns on you at the waterfall. you get him to ninja, get whatever you want him to throw(i did sam swords) and then lvl him to 96 ish. make sure you have a way to stop his movement, because he will one shot the princess. and kill off deleta and agrias.

Every old FFT players most likely did this at least once 😂 My very first Master Onion Knight is from Mandalia Plains as well! Still remembered Master Mandalia Plains and then delevel to 1.

if you want to auto-level with dance/sing and mimes, reduce *everyone's* speed down to one (including your own characters), then pick your dance/song since dancing and singing are tick dependent and not speed dependent, you'll get off 20-30 dances and songs before every turn, and you'll get to 99 in no time with almost no input and no risk of the AI doing something stupid, as long as someone is there in the level 90's who can give you all that juicy experience

That's literally me after losing so bad to my first fight against the Black Mages, I did a power leveling so big that I didn't had to do it for the rest of the game 😂 I was wondering here if you ever played Vanguard Bandits for the PSX.

This is literally insane. I guess when you've done everything else, what's left?

In the psp version you and a friend can take turns touching each other until level 99

ONE question: Why the Crystal Helm?! Can't get Genji Helm or Vanguard Helm? I guess if your file isn't a replay you won't have access to the mission where you get Vanguard Helm, but Ramza deserves AT LEAST a Genji Helm! You dishonor him with that store-bought (Probably stolen actually?) Crystal Helm! lol JK of course. Good tutorial for beginner players! Your explanations are very detailed!

“Don’t save Argath.” Say less, mah man!

Warching this just makes me wish Square would get off their butts and port War of the Lions already to pc or consoles.

I'd say its dangerous to lvl your characters to 99 especially at the beginning without any kind of reaction ability to protect yourself as chocobos, panthers and goblin can wreck your knights or monk especially without good equipment at around lvl 20 this things can 1 shot you I'd advise you to train a arithmetician first using monks to carry you but don't over level around lvl. 15 or so use the punching your ally trick recruit a lvl. 1 squire and he will be your punching bag for your soon to be arithmetician then once you have a arithmetician you can from there

after battle one you can auto-potion

First mistake I see - You should have had Ramza in all of those early fights now doing anything but getting Spill-Over JP. He will stay at Level 1, but you'll be unlocking Jobs and getting JP for those jobs just by being on the battle field. That's how I have my Level 1 Ramza with all the Jobs unlocked so I can start up any solo run I want - My save file says 12 hours, so it doesn't that that long, tbh

"Early" 😂

Played this game until counter went to 99:99:99

No... you didn't do this...

Getting the Dark Knight is probably more time consuming then getting to lvl 99. 🤔🤷😂❤️

This is so confusing because all the cheating. No idea what’s going on.
