Final Fantasy Tactics/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** The [[Level Grind]] ball-kick that is Finath River. [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]], except in this case it's the Chocobos playing the part of the Wizards. Fortunately the combine the best vulnerabilities of [[Glass Cannon]] and [[Fragile Speedster]]. Unfortunately, they have the strengths as well, and there is no set team of enemies for this fight, meaning you could end up with a massive army of Chocobos waiting to kick your ass. Fortunately, you can keep resetting until you get an enemy team of the weaker Chocobos, monsters you have been slaughtering in random battles since the game began.

** Balius Tor (or Bariaus Hill as it was called in the original English translation) is one of the most dangerous maps in the game. The storyline battle you fight there is already tough, as it's the first time the game sics Summoners on you, but even after that point, it hosts some of the deadliest random encounterss. It's possible to face an entire flock of Chocobos, or even a massive battle of up to a dozen enemies that includes every single [[Demonic Spider]] the game can throw at you at once (including Dragons, Red Chocobos, Behemoths and Hydras). You pretty much need to save the game before crossing this node.

* [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]:

** Rafa/Rapha and Malak/Malak/Marach, whose abilities were all but ineffectual in combat, and all they were good for (aside from cannon fodder) was Rafa's ability to find treasure in the Deep Dungeon. Slightly improved in the PSP version, where Rapha's Skyseer skills are much more powerful and accurate, though her brother is even worse than before. With proper planning both Rafa and Malak can actually become incredibly (read: Cid-level) deadly, Malak more than Rafa though. However, the sheer amount of strategy involved to achieve this result is often [[Magikarp Power|far more trouble than it's worth]].
