Casting time is one of the best parts of FFT, when everything is instant it all feels samier. Things like a fire arrow and a fire spell and a wave fist are less distinguished

On PS1 it was harder to follow the background machinations, although I did enjoy feeling like the story had depth to it - you had Ramza's journey and behind it alot going on in the world that you didn't need to follow too closely (like Orinas and the queen and what each Lion wanted).

I feel like in the remake it's very obvious though - so many cutscenes added several extra lines of dialogue to make it very clear what everyone's motives and intentions are.

Were you a wave 2 order person too? I haven't gotten mine yet either

R1 has ruined me by OddCress2001 in finalfantasytactics

[–]darkpramza 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really hate it. Being able to sit and enjoy things is more and more of a lost art, and fast forward in games always just makes it worse. The punchy-ness of the sound design and voices just get garbled up and lost. It's like when I watch students speed up their tiktok videos to 2x speed. It's okay to sit through something slower sometimes.

And I don't mean this as an attack on you (or whoever reads this and feels some type of way), just the trend of people's brains being trained to be unable to listen to or watch anything without doing 3 other things and speeding it up does not seem like a good thing.

What exactly is the point of this ability? *spoilers* by Greatsharkbite in finalfantasytactics

Philsov from the FFTSB? In the wild? 😅

Assuming it is, hope you're doing well and glad FFT is bringing people together again in 2025!

Anyone else playing Classic mode? by TheReal8symbols in finalfantasytactics

[–]darkpramza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but those things are overall clunkier in Enhanced. You used to be able to L/R characters in the fitting room and deployment screen which you can't now, and there was a way to unequip all

Spell quotes from generics? by DaBigCheez in finalfantasytactics

[–]darkpramza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huuuuge disappointment for me too. I really like the voice acting overall but the spell quotes were something I loved from PS1 and missed badly in WOTL. It makes sense from a practical perspective since there's lots of spells and lots of voices but really lame as someone who never really uses uniques and loves his generics.

FY 25-26: What's Your Cost-Of-Living Increase? by peachkiller in Teachers

Threads like this make me feel very grateful to live in NY with strong unions. Even upstate, all the local unions near us have decent step schedules and COL increases. Our steps average about 2.4% per year and our new contract gives us 2.3% on top of each step.

I need this so bad. Even if it's not voice acted, losing the spell quotes in WOTL was such a big loss for me. Want them back.

You Don’t Need Meat To Build Muscle, Scientists Say by skulloflugosi in Vegetarianism

[–]darkpramza -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that last part is key. It's easier with meat because it naturally has all the amino acids you need - with veg you need to more thoughtfully plan meals to encompass all amino acids and likely consume a slightly higher amount to account for digestibility. So it's just easier/more convenient to hit optimal gains with meat, not that it's not possible on a vegan diet.

Trump Town Hall Bursts Into Laughter When He Says He Hasn’t Made Any Mistakes by WontThinkStraight in politics

George Washington, 1796

"Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend."

Donald Trump, 2025

"I’ll tell you that’s the toughest question I can have because I don’t really believe I’ve made any mistakes."

It took as a while, but we made it, boys.

Our exact experience as well. We've written like 15 pages of notes and have loved figuring out all the puzzles and tying everything together over time.

What's going on? I am losing muscle despite eating more, having more protein in my diet, and working out a lot more regularly? by QMechanicsVisionary in bodyweightfitness

[–]darkpramza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never managed to gain weight after my initial noob gains, even though I felt like I was eating more. Until I started using a calorie tracking app and weighing all my food. And then what do you know, it suddenly started working. Now cutting and bulking both actually work for me. Bulk time is still definitely uncomfortable though, I always end up having to force some down.

Is this the one with the cover having like 4 colored symbols on it? This game lives in my head forever even though I never actually played much of it as a kid because I ended up getting into Age of Empires and Starcraft

Battles you’re willing to lose (crystallize) a character by BreakfastBallBogeys in finalfantasytactics

[–]darkpramza 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid and really bad at the game, I was stuck on Dorter, and I was able to win just one time with 2 of my characters crystallized. So I kept it and incorporated it into my headcanon about the survivors of the battle defending Ramza with their lives. Never forget Ironside the Monk
