I've created a FFT Companion App (PSX, WOTL, and TIC versions). It is available for:
If you want to report a bug, provide feedback, or just hang out, I have a Discord channel here.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a complicated game, with a lot of depth. As a game that is almost 30 years old, there is a lot of information about it on the internet. However, by modern standards, that information is not in a format that is easily consumed.
I have a few main goals for this project:
The game has many versions, mainly the PSX, WOTL, and TIC versions. Each version has some differences, like stats and names. In the top-right menu, you can change the version that you are viewing, and it will change the data to that version!
Almost anything with a list can be filtered, sorted, and searched for!
Currently it supports English, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil). I am open to supporting other languages as well (I would need help though!).
The application is split into a few main parts:
https://reddit.com/link/1lsukt6/video/86d278bwr7pf1/player
Every equipment found in the game will be listed here. You can see their stats, effects, how to get the equipment, and which jobs can equip it!
Every generic job and special job the player can access is listed here. You can find their stat multipliers, stat growths, equippables, and requirements. You'll also be able to compare stats with other jobs.
All abilities available to jobs, bosses, and monsters will be listed here. You can find each ability's stats, effects, damage and success calculations, modifiers, range, and more!
All monsters that you can find in the game will be listed here. Similar to jobs, you can see their stats, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, poach items, spawn locations, and more.
All bosses in the game will be listed here. Stats, abilities, and equipment will be listed here.
Every errand is listed here, with the days it takes, the rewards it pays, and the requirements behind each outcome. Work points decide whether an errand succeeds, and they come from the unit's job, level, brave, and faith, so you can see exactly which units to send. You can also mark off the ones you've already completed.
Every status in the game is listed here. You can see what each one does, how long it lasts, and the full list of abilities, items, and equipment that inflict, cure, or block it.
Every battle map is here as a 3D model that you can rotate and inspect. Treasure, trap, and exit locations are marked, and you can tap any tile to see its height, depth, and terrain type. Starting positions are shown too, so you can read the ground before you commit to a fight. Story battles, side quest battles, and revisitable locations are all covered.
10. Online Character Planner / Unit Builder
Simulate your character, plan their build, see how their stats change, and check their damage! You can control almost everything:
You can even share your character for others to see. Just give them the link!
As you all know, the app currently allows you to create your own units. You can get some great info for each unit, such as damage for each of their abilities, stat growth, and evasion. But in FFT, you don't play with just one unit (normally, at least). You use your units in a team!
You are able to make your own custom teams with the units that you create. It started with zodiac compatibility and ability distribution, and there is more in there now: element distribution, a turn order simulation that uses each unit's Speed to estimate how often they act relative to their teammates, and a boss matchup view where you pick a story boss and see which of your team's elements and status ailments will actually work against it. If anyone has any ideas about other analytics to show, let me know.
Give it a try today with the units that you've created, and learn more about your team!
This one is for people who are in the middle of a run. It follows your playthrough battle by battle so you never miss anything. It tracks every missable recruit, stealable item, rare treasure, and learnable ability, laid out in story order chapter by chapter, with side quests and their requirements included.
Since it goes through the story, spoilers are a real concern, so there is a spoiler level setting. On Light, things stay hidden until you get there. On Full, everything is shown. Items are revealed as you progress, and each entry links back to the map or unit it belongs to. Your progress is saved to your account, so you can check something off on your phone and see it on your desktop.
Got a unique unit build that you want to show everyone? Looking for a new unit build to play for your next playthrough? Use this, a community build library where anyone can publish their own builds and browse everyone else's.
Every build shows the complete loadout: job, secondary, reaction/support/movement, and all five equipment slots, alongside a written guide from the author broken into Setup (why this job, and how the abilities and gear work together), In Battle (positioning, target priority, where it falls apart), and Variations (what to swap, budget versions).
Browsing and reading is open to everyone. An account is only needed to like, save, or publish.
With the amount of traffic I've been getting, I've had to introduce some monetization to the app to keep it running and available to everyone.
There is now going to be a banner ad along the bottom. I don't want to add more than that, as I don't want it to affect the user experience that much. Of course, it can also be removed via an in-app purchase. You can find it in the account settings.
Something that some people have been asking for is more units. This will also be available as an in-app purchase as well! Currently will increase by an additional 50 units and 20 teams. I think that will be more than enough for most people's use, but I may increase it depending on the usage. That same purchase also raises the playthrough limit from 1 to 30, in case you are tracking more than one run.
Original Post:
About a month ago, I mentioned that I was creating a companion app to complement FFT. Well, I've decided to make the first version available today! Good for both mobile and desktop use. I also plan to release Android and iOS versions later.
For now, it is just an equipment database. There are many different filters (stats, effects, weapon/armor categories, and more!), name search, and sorting. The one I personally have been using the most is the "Story Battle" filter, which shows you what equipment are available (by any method, not just from the outfitter) at a specific point in the game!
Finally, you can change the version to either PSX or WotL. This will change the name of different things to how they are in each version, as well as the availability of different equipment. Of course, I also plan to support the different modes in Ivalice Chronicles as well when that comes out.
I hope this can help enhance your FFT experience! Please play around with it and let me know what you all think. I do plan to continue adding more features to this, such as jobs, skills, treasure maps, etc.

Hi everyone,
I just fixed the user flairs on the subreddit. I didn't realize that a Reddit update broke them some time ago. Depending on when you assigned yourself a flair, you may or may not need to reassign it to yourself.
On new Reddit:
On old Reddit:
Also we recently hit 15,000 members! Huge milestone, and we're still growing fast.

I literally couldn't stop playing, this is one of my favorite games of all time now, my first final fantasy, I can't believe how much I loved it
r/finalfantasytactics • u/Prestigious_Lie7581 • 20h ago
I'm about to finish the game for the first time. Just wanted to take a moment to share how it looks like Ramza is wearing a thong.

Long, Long time player of every version of FFT. I’ve never really done the Zeklaus Desert Trap Trick. I don’t know if it even works in the Ivalice Chronicles version of the game, although I assume it does. I know that generally the idea is to level down as a weak class, or a class whose stats you don’t want, and then level up as a class you like, but the mechanics get confusing. I’ve tried it before briefly and I think I just weakened my characters, and then I kind of gave up, lost the will power to carry through with the super crunchy details.
Other than Zeklaus Desert, are there other Maps that you can do the Trick on, just for variety? What’s the set up, in terms of abilities? How long does the process take? What are the best classes to LVL Down and then Up? I guess it depends on the build you’re going for right?
I’ve played so many rounds of battles and beaten the game so many times, but Ivalice Chronicles is the first time I’ve been really curious about all the nitty gritty content like hidden items, monster breeding, poaching, treasure hunting, and all the endgame / postgame stuff, because the addition of the new features and NG+ Mode really breathes life into one of my favorite games ever.
I’m the user that posted the question about Knight Swords in Araguay Woods and Midlights Deep the other day. It’s working great! I have found this Reddit community to be extremely helpful and friendly, so I hope it’s okay that I ask for support with this endeavor too…I figure I’m not the only one who wants to min max my private army 😂
TYSM in advance for any help or advice!

Big release for my Recomp of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
https://github.com/james2doyle/ffta-recomp/releases/tag/v2.0
Bunch more screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/LCpEz7R
In v2.0 we have lots of features unlocked:
Tab, 2, or the right trigger, or tap the on-screen FF pill to latch it. The speed is set in Assist and persists across sessions.versionCode is now 2.I'm aware there is another recomp for FFTA. We started around the same time and have delivered slightly different solutions. I think my approach is more in trying to keep with the original feel. I havent changed any graphics or moved any of the UI. I also heavily focused on Android support.
Just like my other release, this project uses emibios, so you do not need to dump your GBA Bios. Just your game.
One of the reasons I jumped to v2.0 is that I did an entire migration away from the SDL2 gbarecomp and into my own fork called GBArecompX: https://github.com/james2doyle/gbarecompx
This fork is backed instead by Raylib. If you are aware of Raylib, is it a great project. One of the big unlocks with Raylib is support for Shaders! So now we have a few shaders included out of the box. Not only that, Raylib has native Android support AND HTML5. But no HTML5 build is working right now.
They also have their own GUI library so yet another dependency was dropped. And the UI is uniform between desktop and Android, with the exception of the launcher on Android which is native.
As a developer, one of the things Raylib unlocks is headless testing. That allowed me to write a lot more tests to make sure things are solid. Any new bugs get a failing test that we can make green. I also took the time to chop up the backend into an interface that Raylib conforms too. So if you really wanted, you can now implement a different backend (say SDL3) without too much effort.
I'd like to try another GBA game (a more obscure one) with gbarecompx. If anyone tries it out I would be happy to hear about it.
r/finalfantasytactics • u/Jraffale • 2d ago
Looks like the phone version got a Fast forward option along with controller support.
Still a bit slower than TIC but it's nice to see them updating the app after all these years.
Hopefully we can get NG+ as well?
r/finalfantasytactics • u/DNouncerDuane • 2d ago
Hey, it only took a decade and a half of begging, no biggie.
Looks like the update also adds 60 fps, fast forward button, and they changed the font 😮
Also, it says they "updated the battle UI", so hopefully that's good.
EDIT: Android too!
r/finalfantasytactics • u/skybug12 • 2d ago
I'm prototyping a game based heavily on fft so I'm looking for some new perspectives.
What do you wish was different? Progression, items, combat, jobs, storytelling, ui, etc...
I have my own thoughts but I want to get a feel for what other fans think
r/finalfantasytactics • u/Acceptable_Humor2245 • 3d ago
I am excited to announce that FFTARecomp v3.0 is now officially released! I have been closely reeding to all your feedback and implemented several new features based on what people requested. Thank you so much for all the support this project has received!
What's New in Version 3.0:
• Native Android version with tap and touch support for menus and interface (Touch mode is experimental and can be enabled under Input > Touchscreen > Touch Controls).
• Massive PC optimization: switched compiler, dropping install size from ~800 MB to ~11 MB and compile time from ~120 seconds to ~4 seconds.
• Completely reworked game UI and text bubbles with in-game length and size adjustments under Settings.
• Experimental mouse support with dedicated remappable layouts on Windows.
• European ROM support with cross-region save compatibility.
• Reworked installer and improved XInput gamepad support.
• Dedicated installer setup for Steam Deck.
Known Issues:
• In the first level, some sprite silhouettes may appear on screen for 1 to 3 seconds. They don't show up again for the rest of the game.
Here's the GitHub, hope you all enjoy it!

Don't be so sensitive, it's just an AI experiment/game
Maybe some people don't know what the point of doing this is. Actually, I'm working on an LLM experiment, analysising asm and decomp to byte match c code.
This game was my childhood hobby. So I'm using it as a subject for analysis and rewriting.
I know that there are at least four or more decomp ffta projects underway right now, to see whose tool can do it faster. At least so far, my progress is faster than the other projects, so I'm just sharing this here.
I'm guessing it might take about a week? Who knows if I can't find a way to speed it up

So i finished the 2.5 mod exelent btw but ive run into an issue. Now I want to add the holy knight skills to ramzas kit but keep everything else the same and when I try to patch them in with fftparcher some menus dont have text and the items have japanese text and such its really breaking the game and I dont know what to do about it. Any tips?
r/finalfantasytactics • u/GoblinPunch20xx • 3d ago
My characters are all LVL99, have high BRV but not 100 BRV (because that’s too high) I have Sticky Fingers on all characters, and I keep recycling the Ninja Battle in Araguay Woods, and all Ninjas are the appropriate Levels to Throw Knight Swords, but they WON’T Do it!
I have tried save scumming and killing the Ninjas and then reviving them, stealing from them to limit their resources and inventory…I checked the charts for how / when / why they Throw items like Chaos Blades and other Knight Swords, and they won’t do it!
Do I have to fight Ninjas in Midlights Deep exclusively? The ones in Araguay Woods have Thrown:
Scorpion Tails
Koga Blades
Shuriken (All Kinds)
Elemental Bombs
…and that’s all. I’ve played every version of this game since it first released when I was in 6th grade. I am now 41, and it is one of my favorite, most played games and I’m still learning new things.
I know there is also a method to Treasure Hunt for Knight’s Swords in Midlight’s Deep that requires LOW Bravery. But for now, I just wanna fight Ninjas! Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

When I played the original fft and wotl I always added Agrias instantly to my party while Mustardio was left in my roster mainly to unlock side quests in chapter 4. This time I thought it would be fun to try Mustardio and OH BOY he is popping everyone with his glacial gun and magic boost 😂😭
r/finalfantasytactics • u/mimichow • 5d ago
Has anyone managed it? I hit a brick wall in the Wiegraf fight.
By the time he transforms, Ramza is usually 1 hit away from death. Then I get one last shot in and he dies immediately after to a summon. If he's not one shot, then Belias just goes for my other units with befuddle, which is a guaranteed confusion.
I tried equipping them with nu khai armlets but that just makes him petrify them instead which is just as bad if not worse. I've tried to simply kill him first but the damage output just isn't there and ramza gets crystalized.
Any tips? I'm using ramza with sprint shoes and a green beret as having 10 speed seems to be the only way to consistently get past the first phase without requiring luck. My generics have golden hairpin and power garb to maximize HP and that's it. Equipping them with +speed equipment seems to work against me as they get a turn before Belias and I miss that window to attack him while he's casting for extra damage.

Hi, everyone. I'd like to thank everyone who commented on my previous post and give an update on how I decided to build my knights, with a little explanation of the thought process behind each unit. Starting with:
Agrias: At first I was going to give summons to Lavian and leave her with geomancy. Then I realized she has the most HP of the whole team and enough MP to cast Golem even without a robe. I also gave her Moogle, Lich and Sylph for varied support capabilities.
Mustadio: Big thanks to Zazieranyday for recommending the companion app. Not a lot of knight builds there, but the Gun Knight one for mustadio immediatly caught my interest, specially since a lot of comment suggested a knight with guns. A fun fact I found out about machinist in the TLW remix mod is that the snipe secondary has innate equip guns built in, freeing up the support skill slot for stuff like concentrate and attack up. At some point I might just ditch the shield and pick dual wielding, we'll see.
Joanna: This build was heavily inspired on TitaniumLegman's Paladin build, so not much to say besides how easy it is to set up. I gave her abandon for now, but I might switch back to weapon guard once I get a defender. Hard to improve perfection.
Alicia: Huge thanks to Nyzer for recommending an archer/knight hybrid for disruption. Also to adratlas and Major-Corner for recommending mixing aim and dual wield with arts of war, I'm a bit surprised those three synergize so well. I'm often tempted to just switch her to ninja for extra speed or archer for dual crossbow action, but I already have another unit for that.
Lavian: By far the build I've been most indecisive about, since I already have a dedicated Mystic. I left her with equip spear and martial arts for a decent while, but since so many people recommended a knight with mystic arts, I decided to keep her like that for now. I'm still considering giving her a spear or doublehand later along the line, though. Or maybe I'll turn her into a tanky barehanded knight, who knows! Btw, thanks to LancerGreen for reminding me of swiftcast, I still gotta train that on Agrias.
Anyway, I'm off to raid a church library and beat up some zealots. Wish me Luck!

With attack boost and poach and haste you just do 500 damage to half the map whenever you want

For years I also drooled over the maps in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, and Tactics Ogre ~ so I finally made my own map builder game! Creating to your hearts content, each map location has 2 requirements you must meet and some prebuilt terrain for you to work with. But of course there's also a Sandbox mode to go wild with!
