It's such a funny conept that smacking someone with the Rod of Faith makes them more faithful. Clearly the The Church of Glabados knew what they were doing lol.
Thanks the man of the hour! I feel like the footage is a large part of the video and it needs to relate to what I'm talking about! But I'm sure an expert like yourself knows this! Thanks again!
It wasn’t till I was much older that I even realized what they were for and only ever now and then do I raise my brave of faith mostly just play the game like chess ♟️ and even against hard enemies all you need is some good tactics. I almost never use magic abilities and I only recently started playing as a mediator
If your Bravery and Faith aren't too low or Zodiac signs then RNG and damage can be a problem but if its pretty solid or something should be great lol. And yeah I had no clue about Bravery increasing as a kid especially with scream/shout
Great video as always. Personally, i find myself having low faith with nearly all of my characters. Several builds just don't care about using faith, and resistance to magic is always useful. Though it has it's uses, Black Mages and Summoners basically need it to do anything with their jobs. In the end, it depends on what builds you want to make.
Thanks so much! And yeah you are right and I'm in the same boat for low faith on the vast majority of my characters. Some people just like being able to cast things like protect and so on. So I just said depends on the playstyle lol.
My Summoner/Calculator dual-wields Rod of Faith + Wizards Rod. Her current Magick Power is 22 w/ 97 Faith & Reaction Mana Shield. The girl literally kills everything and cannot be hit. Good job mentioning Geomancy. I have a Geo/Bard who can nearly one-shot enemy magic users with AVG damage for 300+

I dont think i have ever willfully manipulated Brave/Faith in the many playthroughs ive done. To me, you got what you got in those categories and thats that.
My opinion is characters with high faith should be able to get a higher chance to dispel negative debuffs on themselves, like the saving throw system in pathfinder/dnd
In the past, I would make all my enemies on some of my random battle encounters into chickens and inflict them with debuffs like stop or slow. It's hilarious and a good method to keep enemies at bay when I'm doing level downs and ups on a character. Fun times. ^^
I know this is a very late comment on a 2+ year old video but if you find the time to answer I'd really appreciate it! How do you tend to deal with enemies that ignore things like Shiradori entirely? For example if a Dark Knight was an enemy/boss or there were bosses similar to Orlandeau that flat have 100% guaranteed hits, is there a way to take less damage from them or do you just have to rush them or deal with them from a distance?
Hi good question I like to use Auto Potion or Mana Shield to nullify the damage or to heal from it. Or to use Darkness or magic myself. Hope that helps you out
@@J7Jase Thank you for the reply, I'm gonna be getting back into the Tactics ReMixed mod and I remember trying a fight that was end game and had all Dark Knights and I've been trying to figure out how to deal with it, I will be trying these things out!
@@MrDiaryHolder Thank you! another possible tip vs them is to have an item that gives Protect like Lord of Robes vs them to reduce their damage. hope this does help out!
@@J7Jase update: I was doing the Brave Story Rendezvous mission which was the mission giving me trouble. I found a way around it by using Agrias with Maintenance and having the Ribbon/Chantage equipment to always come back to life and never lose my equipment. Orlandeau had the Secret Suit so I could never game over. It's a bit slow but it works haha, I beat it in like 30 minutes. Maybe there are other ways to do it with a full team but for now this was fun to cheese. I'm still trying to get the Brave Suit and Brigand Glove but no luck. I think they come from the All Star Melee Rendezvous but this is the ReMix mod so I'm not sure if it's the same or not. Thanks again for all the help!
@MrDiaryHolder That combo can work well since you got an Invincible female lol. Sadly for the Remixed mod you can't get the War of the Lions items like Brave Suit and Brigands gloves sadly. There are limitations to the mod for adding new items from what I remember and thank u
If you choose not to save Algus, each party member on the field gets +10 Brave. If you let the battle at Fort Zeakden drag on long enough, Algus and Ramza will have a conversation where Algus brings up choosing the mission over saving him, and Ramza will get -10 Brave for the rest of the battle (and -2 permanently)
Which is better? PSX FFT? Or Wotl? I'm playing through wotl for the first time after countless hours of psx fft, and I have to admit, the new translation is pretty bad, but I'm enjoying everything else (except the higher JP costs for some abilities waaah!)
Tough question. PSX does have some cool names of the abilities and better sounds for abilities. While War of the Lions has more content, cool cutscenes, more sidequests and so on. Also the emulator PPSSPP is superior I feel because the interface and can minimize and maximize a lot easier. I like both so I just play both and switch back time to time but for the most part WOTL is better I feel.
@@J7Jase I really appreciate your input! I'm currently playing on PPSSPP, I have the slow down fix plus the multiplayer items patch to give me a more robust but still vanilla playthrough. I'm keeping a closer eye on your channel, you put out great content, thank you!
I know everything about Bravery & Faith in general Bravery stands for how well you deal and receive physical damage and. It also raises the activation rate of reaction and abilities. Having high bravery makes you powerful but vulnerable. Lower Bravery makes you weak but reduces damage taken, also lowering the activation rate of reaction abilities. Faith stands for how well you deal and receive magical damage. Having high Faith raises percentage rates of supportive magic and status-inducing magic, potency of healing magic, and magic power. Having zero Faith makes you untouchable to all magic. For example, Rapha's abilities are based how high her Faith is. As for her brother, Marach, his abilities are based on how low his Faith is.
It depends I got into more details of each specifically in the video but in short. For Bravery it only affects knight swords, unarmed, and katanas for real physical damage and all reaction abilities besides Abandon/Reflex and Weapon Guard/Parry. Rapha doesn't matter with her faith so you can just lower her all the way down to 3 and be okay.
It's such a funny conept that smacking someone with the Rod of Faith makes them more faithful. Clearly the The Church of Glabados knew what they were doing lol.
They know how to play this game for sure! They are playing Ivalice like a damn fiddle!
Imagine the Church of Glabados going on a crusade bonking infidels in the head until they accept that St. Ajora is the one true God
Nuns in Catholic School love to hit kids with the yardstick of faith
Sounds like the first step to indoctrination😂

Great video. I still think having a neutral faith is best as opposed to low or high unless you equip knight swords

If Faith and Bravery are high enough, it still matters if the character is male or female?
Yeah in most cases. Because males have more base PA and HP and females more MA and mp.
Although it can vary widely depending on what they level up as
@@J7JaseNot to mention the slight differences in zodiac relations.
I have NEVER once seen a character leave due to low bravery. It’s weird how many odd things FFT has.
yeah it was unique mechanic though
it happened to me once.

ah yes finally
