Is there a battle anyone emerged victoriouse, but lost really good units to death? Grieve over your biggest 'loss' here.
I remember I ended up fighting nothing but black and red chocobos. I lost all but 1 unit. In one fight, I lost Cloud, Orlandu, and 2 recruits that were level 99. Only my monk, Ramza, survived...It is my single biggest FFT loss ever.
I try really hard not to lose a unit forever. I only let it happen once. The most difficult battle I've had though was the first time I fought Velius and the last battle with Balk because my guys were on low levels.
the end was my biggest loss it sucked
Generally when one of my favored units crystalizes I just reset. :rolleyes2
I u sually do that too, when it is someone I like. But this was my 'screw around file' as i already beat it (the game) once, and on that particular file, I had but one place to go...so I made it my screw around file. What I like to do is create a list of all my chars in that file, including the date they joined. When one dies, I don't reset it, I let it go, and write down the death date, sort of like a graveyard.
Too much, ya think? :choc:
So if Ramza crystalizes or you just generally get a game over do you delete the file and any other files related to it?
If Ramza dies, you automatically get a game over. I never delete that file, it is a just for fun file, so I have no need to delete it. When a char dies, I recruit another one into my party. Of course, with irreplacable ones, such as Orlandu, I do miss them, but I don't reset it.
Yes, but there are ways to lose other than Ramza crystalizing. Like Petrification. :rolleyes2
If Ramza is petrified, you get a game over? That's never happened to me before, I didn't know that.
And no, I don't delete the file if Ramza dies, just if any of the other units die. I rarely even have him accompany me into battle. I always use Orlandu and 4 of my other units.
I've never had a "big loss" before in FFT. If it does happen, I'm hitting that reset button!
lol, I do that in my other files, but that one is strictly for my own twisted amusment :D
No, you don't get a game over if Ramza is petrified. Only if he crystalizes or all the party members are dead or petrified do you get a game over.Quote:

So yeah. In essence you could lose if Ramza is Petrified, and everybody else is Dead/Petrified/Whatever Counts As Permenent Disability And Cannot Be Cured Due To The Inability To Take Action
Um, yeah. I mean you can't get a Game Over with just Ramza petrified.
No loss in FFT has ever been big for me because I always save after every battle. So if one battle goes bad I just reset.
So like, yeah... I was just making sure I'd clarify that for the other guy. ;)Quote:

Same here. Remembering having to do that one time in End in Deep Dungeon when there was nothing but Red Dragons and Hydra's and picking crappy characters. Not to smart.Quote:

Oh hell yes! If there is even the remotest chance of winning, I play it out!
YO! For sure play to most bitter of ends is what I always do. But I lost My Knight/Lancer Gordon a generic charcter but one of my favorites. I tend to get attached to my crew because I make sure I use only the most select characters from the beginning of the game. High brave, faith, HP, MP, AT, and MA at the lowest LV. are what I look for.
I usually reset when someone crystallizes. Whenever I get Orlandu, he never dies. Except for one time when I made him use Night Sword on a Bone Snatch. I was fooling around and the battle was almost over anyway, so I decided to see if Orlandu would actually kill himself. I only expected him to lose at least half his HP.
when someone in my party dies,it's actually when things get exciting.especially when the dead character is simply too far from my white mage,monk or chemist.i stop,think awhile and look for strategies to put that person back to life.if i was able to revive him/her easily,then it is no big deal.but sometimes,things get worse,and a carefully planned strategy is needed.in those times,the countdown actually reaches zero.and then i revive the guy.so close...
nd yes,if someone crystallizes,i reset.i dont want that to happen.

the big loss was when i gave up. lol.
One should never give up when playing video games
except when one breaks the psx from frustration, and has to buy a new one.
That's not cool. Control the game, don't let it control you:p
