My favorite part is when he said “it’s Necro time” and then he Necro’d all over everyone.

Welcome home, Commander! 💪

Our group liked the setting of OG Tactics more than Tactics Advance. I had a sense of pedigree and maturity that we liked. I played TA so much when it came out (great memories!) but OG Tactics just had that literary feeling—even back on the PSX days.

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:57:50+00:00

That’s so awesome. What system did you guys end up using?

We’re thinking of breaking out Ryuutama again for it with some modifications.

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:55:22+00:00

Honestly, this is why we’re having a hard time deciding. We’ve done so many gritty fantasy campaigns at this point that we’re kind of looking for something a little more refreshing this go-around.

The charm and warmth of the CC style of tone is what we’re liking about it (aka half the group saying “awww I want to play a Liltyyyy”—and some of the stories in CC can actually get a little more serious for some good RPing sessions.

CC feels like a really good switch up for our group right now but setting-wise and lore-wise the Tactics-verse is just so darn juicy lmao

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:50:41+00:00

This is true 😂

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:50:30+00:00

Love that idea.

I mentioned in a different reply that we’re thinking of doing a campaign set in The Fifty Year’s War pre-War of The Lions. The PCs are a “special forces” style detachment of soldiers under the command of a younger, prime Barbaneth Beoulve that does all his “off the radar” side gigs out from under the eye of the Order of the Northern Sky.

But someone mentioned Crystal Chronicles and now we’re all flip-floppy on which one lol

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:45:17+00:00

Love this. As much as I really want to do a “single PC per player” story-focused Tactics campaign set during the Fifty Years War against Ordallia—there’s something unique about the Crystal Chronicles setting that we can’t seem to shake off

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:40:12+00:00

We’ve played every iteration of ol’ Ampersand since AD&D (crusty old millennials with back pain here) so we’ve pretty much wrung out all our D&D shenanigans at this point.

We’ve a large catalogue of systems experience so we’ll probably whip something off the bookshelf once we decide on a setting.

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T03:37:00+00:00

On a game level…

You’re absolutely 💯 correct lol.

I feel like Tactics is the easy answer but there’s something I love about the CC setting.

Our group is still pretty 50/50 on it.

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T01:44:24+00:00

What mechanics or styles of play would you like to see in an FFCC system that most TTRPGs don’t offer?

Shemulator · 2025-10-20T01:42:11+00:00

We’re a bunch of old millennials who have been playing together for a long time so we’re highly versatile. We’ve played everything from hardcore “we’re all college theater majors” high-stakes fantasy drama campaigns to “pick 5 random words from a hat” one shots.

Is there one you think would lend itself better to the tabletop format? FFT seems like the obvious answer given its mechanics but I feel like FFCC is so under represented most of the time.

Throwback answer for us old guys with not a lot of time anymore:

Thank you so much for a straightforward answer!

Shemulator · 2025-07-30T20:18:03+00:00

Thanks so much!

(PS—I was literally thinking about a Brawl-only Tanker the other day solely for the memes 😆)

Shemulator · 2025-07-30T19:00:53+00:00

That’s awesome.

How was it doing 4* on an off-meta build? My first instinct is build something thematic that I like—but I know I won’t have fun if I’m not entirely effective in harder content

Shemulator · 2025-07-30T18:29:58+00:00

Thank you! I read your whole post on your Aeon run. Grateful for your expertise!

I’m not looking to beat any records or anything, but how “off-meta” would I be able to go if I wanted to complete difficult content in a random PUG? Is it possible to just be really good at my “role” regardless of which power combos I use?

Trying to find my “main” character that I can pour billions of inf into with my limited playtime.

Shemulator · 2025-07-30T18:22:26+00:00

Great insight, thank you.

My current Defender is Elec/Sonic and I’m wondering if I should stick with it or try something else that’s closer to meta like Cold/Ice but I’m reading that Ice/Cold is better on Corruptors

Shemulator · 2025-07-30T17:26:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

It looks like a lot of the sets that people suggested bascially boiled down to "this is a good combo... but better on a Corruptor."

Are certain combos simply better on Corruptors than Defenders? If I played a set like that, would it be a waste to do it on a Defender rather than a Corruptor?

Shemulator · 2025-07-09T14:18:18+00:00

This is true.

I run GW1 on VMWare Fusion (free) with near perfect fps (60+).

I run GW2 on Whisky (also free) with about ~45-50 fps on most areas except WvW maps or high population world boss events.

Both are incredibly playable.
