    Delita is the most complex character in FF franchise I've ever seen.
    His ambitions to become a noble involves lots of treasons and manipulation.
    Instead of being just a villain or anti-hero, Delita is a counter-weight to Ramza's morals.
    It's a shame he didnt receive a spin-off.

    • @666Kaca
      @666Kaca 2 роки тому +21

      Delita is a tragic hero, same as ramza. He ultimately wins "the game"(becomes king) but loses everyone that was dear to him(theta, ramza, ovelia). Ramza fights against the true threat and wins but his name is forgotten to history. I think its well shown by his last quote "ramza, this is what i got, what did you get?"
      The counterweight system is true. Delita plays "the game" and wins because he has no faith in humanity. Ramza goes against the system precisely because of his faith in humanity.

    Two-Swords isn't required for the duplication glitch.
    all you need to do, is manually equip a weapon to the off-hand slot, go into "best fit" in the fitting room, and exit out without paying after the "best fit"
    as long as the shop you are in does not sell a weapon considered "better" than what you are wearing, you can duplicate any main-hand item
    you are therefore not required to do this at a castle, any shop can be used
    if the shop you are at does not sell items for the class you are trying to duplicate weapons for (such as a shop not selling Spears) since the "best fit" will default to putting the weapon you already have onto the other hand, this will duplicate the weapon (this can also be used on shields by equipping them to the main hand, since best fit will switch which hand is holding them)
    There are also exploits/glitches that went unmentioned. The job point scroll glitch can be used to give the player unlimited JP in any job with an ability list which is longer than one page in length. It is possible to Poach enemy corpses repeatedly when they are under water. The fur shop glitch, which appears only in the Japanese version of the game, allows you to unlock every furshop item by entering into the tutorial menu and soft resetting before beginning a new game.

    Vagrant story was retconned into being part of Ivalice back around when FF12 was coming out. FF12 took a lot of inspiration, particularly in the art design, from Vagrant Story, and the most subtle of references were made, but looking at Vagrant Story on its own merits, it was never intended to be part of FF or Ivalice when it was made, and the stories are far LESS convoluted if you keep it that way

  • @demohidu5946

    The Zodiac Stones from what I understood are powerful divine artifacts. The origin of the Lucavi seems to be something of a combination of a demonic force imprisoned in the stone and a willing subject who succumbs to that evil. The Zodiac Braves are your hero's of that era and are likely the only individuals that know the truth of what happened, considering that some of their stones end up doing that they did suggest that not all of the Braves...ended well. Also I don't understand the confusion about the ending with Ramza, the game was pretty clear that he and Alma lived. While I would love to see a FFT 2... I don't know how it would really work out, Ramza effectively did his job and disappears to live a quite life.

    • @SeventhheavenDK
      @SeventhheavenDK Рік тому +1

      Yes, Matsuno confirmed that Ramza and his friends survived.
      Also, a FFT2 does not necessarily have to follow Ramza's story. It could follow the era when Alazlam wants to uncover the lies of the church with a new entire protagonist, or even follow a completely different story, like FFTA but with a theme more similar to FFT.

      @SubduedRadical 2 роки тому +16

      I feel like a lot of people just like the "and then everyone died" Shakespearean ending to everything. Like how people speculate FF8 and Majora's Mask are all about the character dying and having a death dream or something.
      It seems to be that Ramza, Alma, and Razma's army more or less all survive. Cid's grandson (forget his name, but the one with astrologian powers...Olan?) writes a book that is the true story of events. Because the church and the surviving kingdoms want to restore order, and fear the truth getting out would cause even more chaos with the people outright rejecting the political and religious order, they accuse him of being a heretic and burn him at the stake...so he pretty much dies.
      But years later, his grandson finds his book and papers, much like how Ramza found the original true account of the Zodiak Braves. The game you play is actually him reading the papers, which you can see if you start a new game as it has him narrating that he found this report and is trying to get the truth out and clear his ancestor, Olan's, name that he wasn't a heretic but was actually the only one telling the truth.
      I don't remember where, but I remember thinking that somewhere in that side-story it's implied that Ramza (in addition to being the true hero of the story - the church had also branded him AND HIS ARMY heretics, which they probably wouldn't have done if at least some of them hadn't survived, since the branding was to prevent anyone they ran across or any stories they wrote of the truth from being listened to by the public) must have survived.
      But yeah, the whole story of FFT is actually something that happened 100-200 years before, and you're reading/listening to Olan's great great grandchild read an uncovered lost manuscript written by Olan telling the story. Much like how the Lord of the Rings is supposedly an English translation of the Book of Westmarch written by Bilbo, Frodo, and finished by Sam.

However I'm not sure if there's anything deeper in connection, as the character of Wiglaf is to be a loyal and courageous man, were as Wiegraf is quite the opposite.

    The Time mage glitch happens in a few other areas as well wherein a character is replaced with a male time mage despite their designated class or sex. Most notably this happens in the finally fight with Kletian in Death City where he has two male time mage allies that are both supposed to be lancers (and have their skill layouts as if they were lancers) but for some reason they appear as time mages that can’t actually use magic. Most people don’t notice the glitch though as Kletian is often one-shot in that battle ;)

      @@andrewrenshaw7215 No, what I mean is it's more an "alternate universe". FFXIV can be thought of more like a kitbash of FF games and their histories rather than like Kingdom Hearts where you go to those ACTUAL places and they're just connected within a single multiverse.
      If the FFXIV one was the same as the FFXII one, that would mean that Eorzia IS Ivalice, which doesn't really make much sense.
      The Crystal Tower is also in FFXIV, but it's seen as a relic from a long ago age when the Alagan's ruled, not the same exact one from FF3.
      That said...then we have Freya, who seems to be the exact same person as in FFXII, so who even knows at this point? XD
      But I think the "right" way to look at it is that FFXIV is kind of a nexus between worlds, and because of this, it has "echoes" from some of those worlds influence and make near-identical places in its own world.

    One thing many casual fans of this game don't realize is just how deep the min-maxing can go in this game. Hardcore fans will customize their characters' stats by repeatedly leveling up and then leveling DOWN their characters (through the Level Down status effect that can be applied in some battles). Each job class has different rates at which the stats change with level gains and losses. So, by controlling which job your character is when they level up/down, you can create some truly ridiculous stats. The hacking community has even developed tools that allow you to simulate this leveling process when you edit your save file. Unfortunately, when you manage to max out your party's speed stat, it makes the bard and dancer jobs useless, as those abilities are tied to the battle clock, and not the character's speed. As a result, they never get to perform any actions, as the battle will end before their abilities go off.
    It should also be mentioned that you can access a 2-player vs mode in the original PSX version using a gameshark!

    This iceberg is more of an ice cube. There is no mention of the War of the Roses or the works of Shakespeare. There is no discussion of the backstory of Elidibusor the motives of Zodiark. There is no discussion of the ability of Ramza, Luso, and Alma to learn Ultima, or what might link these three characters. There is no discussion of Altima's accusation that Ramza is descended from Germonique, or the parallel between Ramza's exile/rumored death and Germoniques. There is no in depth discussion of the contrast in outcomes for Delita and Ramza. There is no discussion of delevelling traps and the way players used them to power level characters. There is no discussion of whether OVELIA lives or dies, as this was unknown for decades before Matsuno clarified this as well.

    A lot of that is common knowledge. The last one isn't even a fan theory, it's explicitly said in the game. There are also many errors.

Final Fantasy XII if had the same gameplay system in term those classes and their skills, would be one of the best FF game ever. The story of tactics is one of the best, if not the best. The only FF can rival tactics in story is type-0. Ramza was cool and a fitting end to Delita. One wanted freedom and another wanted power.

    I always thought Ramza & Alma's fate was clear: They're assumed dead when the graveyard of ships, and the portal to Ivalice, was destroyed by Ultima's death throws. The two aren't actually dead. Olan sees what he thinks are ghosts, but what if that's just a small window, like in FFTA? Final Fantasy is like D&D because it has different planes of existences. We Know this, because where could the Lucavi & the summoned creatures possibly have come from?
    TL;DR Ramza & friends aren't dead, they were just sent to a different plane of existence. My proof is summoners, Lucavi, Cloud & Aerith, and FFTA.
