In my opinion, the strongest ally you get is Mustadio through the entire game. With the ability to fire at his opponents at distances with Don't Move, Don't Act and Seal evil is crucial in some battles if you are in a tight squeeze. Another character most people do not like to use, but is one of my favorites is Beowulf. Looks awesome, and like an Oracle.
strongest, by far... is orlandu, hands down... and i think most people will agree, although i don't use him a lot because it just makes the game too easy.
yeah I can agree with that, Orlandu and Byblos in my opinion make the game super easy, in fact I used only them and ramza to fight the final boss and it was easier then ever (except once when I used Master Squire Ramza, Orlandu, Melodiuol (or however it's spelt) and Agrias all mastered) but yeah, I wouldn't buy the guide, after all the masters of everything FFT is right here in this chatroom, we practically wrote the germonik scriptures (please say I spelt that right)
Beowulf's Petrify generally is a pretty good attack, as is Cloud's Finish Touch, making them both worthwhile characters. Orlandu's power is still supreme, however.
it's important to save after every battle so that if an important character is lost you can reset. But also alternate in two or three save slots so you don't get stuck at a battle you can't possibly win. If that happens you have to start all over.
yea, there are a lot of sequences where you get stuck doing several battels at once without a chance to level! If you can't do the last one (or any past the first for that matter) and you've saved over all your previous saves that date before the sequence, GG.
I find that it will probably take 70 hours to beat it normally! I've spent about 6-8 hours on this game for the past, um, three days, and I'm only nearing the end of chapter three. And this is my second time through the first three chapters, the first I spent a lot more time leveling (I almost never fight random battles this time around). In fact, I spent about 17 months gametime (one day a step) on it the first time, but only like 7 this time.
So your first time through will take a LONG time.
and while we're asking random FFT questions... does your birthday mean anything? Can you make the game do something special on the birthday you choose?
Nothing special happens on Ramza's birthday. :( It's just there to determine your zodiac sign and the resulting compatability with other characters.Quote:

To truly get 100% completion you must go on all of the propositions and become a master adventurer and master treasure hunter. You must also poach a helluva lot of monsters with 'Secret Hunt' in order to get items which aren't for sale in ordinary shops. You have to take the time to get the good items hidden in the Deep dungeon, Nelveska temple, and Germinas peak. (It takes time if you have to reset once in a while because you unearthed a Phoenix down or potion.) Complete all the sidequests to get Beowulf, Reis, Cloud, Worker 8, and Byblos. At least 100 hrs. :love:
