Final Fantasy Tactics/Trivia


 * Fan Nickname: ROFL the Templar Knight: how else do you pronounce "Rofel?"
 * Also, "Garfgarog" (or possibly "Gafgarog"), which is often paired with Memetic Molestation.
 * Dracula, based on his original name Draclau. Or
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Ramza is Hermes Conrad, Delita is Travis Touchdown, Ovelia is Princess Ashe, and Agrias is Yuna.
 * What Could Have Been: It's speculated that Valmafra (Balmafula) supposed to be either a guest or recruitable during the early stages of the game's production, but that such plans were dropped. She even has her own Battle Class, yet never once appears on the battlefield.

Gameplay trivia

 * Attacks from the sides or behind are more likely to hit (both are usually effective unless the target has a shield or the Weapon Guard ability). Shield and Weapon Guard in combination can make attacks from the front all but pointless. Shirahadori/Blade Grasp and a Featherweave Cloak can make even back attacks unlikely at a twelve percent success rate.
 * Specifically, attacks from the front have to deal with all 4 types of Evasion in a character's stats (Class, Shield, and Accessory Evasion, as well as Weapon Evasion if Weapon Guard is equipped). Attacks from the side ignore Class Evasion, and Attacks from behind ignore Class, Shield, AND Weapon Evasion, leaving only Accessory Evasion. Blade Grasp is separate from all this, factored before standard evasion (the game makes a check against Blade Grasp first, with the success% being equal to the character's Brave, THEN calculates against all remaining evasion types that are appropriate for the situation).
 * But Reaction Abilities like Blade Grasp only work on the first attack, so if you've got the Two Swords ability, the second swing will have a far greater chance of hitting. In fact, against a high-Brave character with Blade Grasp, this is virtually the only way to succeed with a physical attack.
