What did you make Ramza?

[yuno]

Squire with Math Skills.

me too.probably the best thing in the game if not for holy swordsman (orlandu) with math skill.of course i put them together.every battle is won in a turn or two.999 damage on all enemies,999hp heal on every party member.that's what my team is all about.as BtV would put it...

...some ungodly cheese...

[Addis]

Samurai with Concentrate, GUTS, move +1.

[Mr.psyc!!]

i usually switch Ramaza around for different battles.. but my best was:

squire
punch art
bladegrasp
two handed
move+3

my ramaza ownz so much it scares me sometimes

[RoBoDunK]

I'l have Ramza master everything starting with thief and that would take like until about lvl 77 and change him into a samurai and have Elmdor's equiptment and have the best katana and bracers just the best of everything so then I just need him and T.G Cid to battle the few last battle

[The Captain]

I kept trying to make Ramza a dancer, but it wouldn't let me... darn sexism.


I usually go for a high powered monk or else a ninja with armor before switching back to a squire with two-swords. For some reason, I rarely make him into a mage of any kind.

Take care all.

Good. Cause mage Ramza=dangerous especially when u let Ramza master all mage skill;
e.g;
White Mage, Black Mage, Time Mage & Calculator

Since he is a the main character and a special character, he somehow always heals or does damages more than everyone else. So if u do let himmaster all mage skill and in the end put him to a calculator job with no casting time what-so-ever.

That's why i never make him that even if i let him master everything. It will take the fun out of the game cause he is always doing a 1-3 hit kill, even to the bosses.

Since Dragoons are my favorite class in all of Final Fantasy, Ramza usualy ends up with some variation of a build based around the jump command. Typicaly:
Lancer
Guts
Blade Grasp
Attack Up
Move +3

Works out well because on my 'good' game all the Special Knights use swords, and I wouldn't want the Javelin II to go to waste.

My Ramza build

Guts
Maths Skill
Blade Grasp
Two Swords
Move +3

[Maddness66]

My Ramza build follows the same basic idea as some of the othes, but not quite the same. I consider it the ultimate build, as there is no weakness and he can exploit just about any situation with it.

Squire --------- Equip

Guts ---------- Rune Sword
Black Magic -- Aegis Shield
Blade Grasp -- Crystal Helm (or Grand Helm from DD)
Magic Atk Up -- Light Robe (or Robe of Lords from DD)
Move +3 ------ Bracer (*note* not the Genji gauntlet as the sword and shield already add a good amount of MA, I needed more PA, so I opted for the Bracer instead)


This build, gives me +3 MA, +3 PA (+4 MA, +5 PA if Robe of Lords is used), increased magic power to further fuel his chaotic disreguard for life, and of course, he can move forever with Move +3. He's more of a hybrid offensive support than a heavy armored machine. But, if played correctly he can beat anyone, and will almost never be hit with any attack of less than a guaranteed hit. This is my Battle Mage.

imo,this is not the ultimate build.

weakness:
1.no auto-haste,therefore low speed.
2.more importantly,no math skill,therefore slower kill rate.

i would agree that this is one hell of a powerful build,but i am led to believe that this is not the ultimate.

Auto-Haste is definetly a plus, but if i equipped the Excalibur in place of the Rune Sword my magic attacks will take a beating, while my sword attacks will only go up a bit. I don't know why they don't go up more than than they do, but IMO, having the stronger magic over the stronger attack w/o haste is better...as i generally already have at least 2 auto-hasted units in battle. Not to mention, Scream will get my speed up in no time.
Math skill, although a highly effective skill, does not belong in the hands of a Squire or any job class other than that of a Wizard/Priest/Time Mage/Oracle/Summoner. Even though I have MA+ items, it isn't enough to render Math Skill effective. Besides, my Summoner has Math Skill set to her secondary...and that makes for a truely wonderful machine of slaughter and mayhem.
(i suppose it'd be more accurate to say it's the ultimate build, for me...it has what i want to be sure)

p.s. I once made Ramza a Mime (first Mime ever at the time), and while it took a bit of time to get used to using a Mime, he was devistating once I figured him out and learned to use him quite effectively.

The game certainly allows for a variety of successful strategies; and I won't argue with success. Whatever works for you.

That being said, I chose Auto-Haste over attack and magic power. It's the reason that I choose Setiemson over Chantage for my female units. And that coupled with Math Skills allows my party to wipe out enemies before most of them even get a chance to move. And the survivors rarely make it to melee range.
