Line 12:
Followed by a [[Non-Linear Sequel]] in ''[[Vagrant Story]]''. Years later, the atmosphere of Ivalice was re-imagined in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', which took place in a dream world centuries before ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]''. The actual era that this dream world was based on was then first seen in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'', and again in ''[[Revenant Wings]]'', with another prequel in the form of ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]''.
It has also been re-released four times. The first was on the [[PS 1]]'s "Greatest Hits" line, though it remained hard to find. The other three were on the [[Play Station Portable]]: first as the [[Video Game Remake]] ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]: War of the Lions'', the second via the [[

Line 42:
* [[Bait and Switch Boss]]: {{spoiler|Barinten threatens Rafa and Malak. Then Elmdor's goons toss him off the roof.}}
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: The Frog and Chicken spells. {{spoiler|Reis was none too happy about being changed into a dragon either.}}
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Pretty self-explanatory]]: Monks fight unarmed and their damage formula involves squaring their strength score (Most classes use strength* weapon to determine damage). This means that every extra point of PA is worth exponentially more. As it's possible to get up to +7 PA (a base score of 13 is standard for high level fighters), the Monk can be [[Punched Across the Room|capable of one]][[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel|-punching most]] [[Megaton Punch|common enemies]] and maybe [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|even a few bosses]]. And that's before you give them Two Weapons, which lets them punch twice (Or better yet, give Ninja Martial Arts).
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]:
** The Samurai's reaction skill "Blade Grasp" / "Shirihadori"; a [[Good Bad Bug]] interprets the reaction skill to be applicable to ''all'' physical attacks, so a character equipped with this can also [[Arrow Catch]] and [[Bullet Catch]]. The chances of an attack hitting are equal to 100-target's Brave, and Brave can max out at a base of 97. It's almost a [[Game Breaker]].
Line 66:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Ramza may break the [[Framing Device]] if you attempt to dismisses him from your party, but avoids breaking the "main" fourth wall.
* [[Brown Note]]: Harps and Books do damage by being played/read from.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Though you only actually ''see'' the incantations on-screen 10% of the time or so, every spell in the game and many other abilities have incantations that end in the spell's or move's name. Only the original [[
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Final Fantasy Tactics A2|Luso]] and [[Final Fantasy XII|Balthier]] both show up in the remake, and it's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the latter, who still thinks of himself as the "leading man" but concedes this adventure has more the feel of a cameo role.
** Not to mention [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud and Aeris/th]], who appear in both versions.
Line 119:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Cloud is listed as an Aquarius in this game, but the official ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' guidebook states his birthday to be August 19th, which would make him a Leo.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Ramza and his team {{spoiler|murder their way up the demon hierarchy until they reach Bloody Angel Ultima/Altima and kick her ass too}}; Alma, supposedly {{spoiler|the vessel for Altima}}, manages to {{spoiler|undo the [[Grand Theft Me]] and reject Altima from her body because of the [[Power of Love]]}}.
* [[
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The ''entire'' plot is, essentially, {{spoiler|the Pharisee theory regarding [[Jesus]], and their questioning whether his powers were truly divine in origin. They even included the part about the temple crumbling at the moment of St. Ajora's death}}.
** The War of the Lions can also be seen as a parallel to the [[wikipedia:Wars of the Roses|War of the Roses]].
