EoFF Giveaway: Final Fantasy Tactics for the iOS

[Skyblade]

My favorite class is the Paravir, from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

The Paravir is the Samurai class of FFTA2. Translated as "Yojimbo" in the Japanese and Spanish versions (likely changed so as to avoid comparison with the Aeon or previous foes from the series), the job name refers to a Samurai or Ronin who has been hired as a bodyguard.

The Paravir has been designed as a new glass cannon for the Humes. It's one of the faster classes, and has the highest physical attack growth available for Hume units. It's abilities have been redesigned as boosted physical attacks, as opposed to the magical basis of FFT's original Samurai.

In terms of abilities, Paravir wield some of the most deadly on the battlefield. They possess four elemental attacks, each of which do base weapon damage times two as elemental damage, which gives them huge damage dealing potential to a wide variety of foes weak to particular elements. In addition, each of these moves have a chance of inflicting status ailments.

Plus, it's worth mentioning that Paravir can wield most of my favorite elements (all but Holy), wielding Frost, Lightning, and Darkness. They also get access to a ranged ability, some great supports, and Iai Blow, which has a chance at instantly killing their foe.

So, in short, they have a stat and ability setup that is pretty much custom tailored to make me happy, and are based around a really neat style and concept from Japanese history. Thus, they are my favorite class in the series, pushing aside my other top picks such as Blue Mage, Seer, or Assassin.

Addendum: the iOS version of the game also features additional storyline battles and events unlike the version available for PS1 and on the Playstation network.

An actual fight with Kletian where you don't nuke him in one hit

I already have/play this every day or I would have entered.

I'd so love to play Tactics. I've never played any of the series. Guess I'll just have to wait till much later.

There are number of fun classes, but the one I enjoy the most is the the Arithmetician. As a statistician, this class immediately appeals to me from the numbers side. While slow in speed, the ability to kill everything, revive/heal your squad or inflict status ailments en masse is just cool. In the end it is more suited to a second ability because of the speed factor, but it becomes even more devastating the higher powered spells you learn. Not really sure why every sentence before this one starts with an objective phrase... #NotHowToWriteWell.

I love Archers, because I love how pitiful they are. I like watching them fire their little worthless bows as they take up a slot that could and should be long to a much more powerful and more effective class. They can't really take hits, and actually can't really do anything.

Plus, you can put them at really high elevations where they can do their awful, nearly scandalously bad damage from great distances, if you happen to be fighting in the one level of the game that actually allows you to do that.

I don't have an iphone so no game for me. I really want to play this game however. I could by the PS1 version, but War of the Lions is superior and I'd rather play the superior than the inferior.

Okay guys! Time for Optional Task #1 to increase your chances to win! If you complete this task you will get your name put in the draw one more time.

Draw a picture of the class (race is yours to decide!) you described in your post. MS Paint, hand-drawn; Poorly drawn, masterpiece... you decide! Just get your art on and submit a picture.

Since archers are such a worthless class, and I got to decide the race, I made it a big doofy elephant. I believe this is a canon race in FFT.

Boy is my face red. I should have seen this coming.

I'd prefer if the races were ones that existed in Ivalice, but I suppose I can't impose that rule now. xD

Here is an image of an elementalist using fire whip on a bangaa foe!

Seamlessly converted to a big doofy Nu Mou, since they're also slow and grey and technically exist in Ivalice.

I haven't actually played this game for a significant amount of time, but I am pretty sure that the class that I would like to try out the most would be ninja, because well, ninjas. Do I really need to say more?

Picture coming soon

-edit- and here it is
A ninja sneaking around. She is a bit hard to see, but that's to be expected. She is a ninja, after all. She is probably a human, but no one really knows because ninjas are mysterious.

(SPOILER)Actually, I enjoy playing the Mime class. They add a unique spin to battle strategies when you can copy the flow of battle.

Nothing wrong with the PS1 version.

@Mullet Nice try.
