Any unit I think can mount a friendly chocobo just not use all their abilities, making them good for mages to give them better reach or easy escapes. You do however need a mediator/Orator or had the unit with the job's abilities equipped on them with the skill Beasttongue unlocked to invite the unit to your cause.

okay. thanks for the clarification. i'll work on getting that skill. 2 of my characters are in mage builds and they need the extra movement.

Note that the chocobo will take up unit space both when you deploy the unit and your army reserve. Say you got 1 black mage and 1 time mage and give them both a chocobo to mount on the map, after that you will only have 1 more space for a unit. Not worth it really. They will NOT mount them permanently.

huh. that's weird. doesn't seem like it should be like that.
i'll stick to my original plan then, building my characters up to a point where the flaws are nullified by my characters being too strong for it to matter.

found this on gamefaqs

Lmao i totally missed that how the hell was one supposed to know this? Oh and the chocobo name was boco no idea who baku is i really forgot that much....

that's pretty awesome. too bad square enix is too lame and lazy to make something like this nowadays.
hopefully someone makes this a real thing one day.

Hope so any 2d FF game would benefit way more than 3d games from a remake whether it looks like the video or full fledged 3d style no matter it would be greatly appreciated.

baku is from ff9. he is the leader of the gang that zidane is a part of at the beginning of the game.

Yeah yeah that schmuck we beat when we try to save princess garnet , I'm mixing people characters now.... great!

if i remember correctly, you've spent the past several months playing all of the first 9 games in the series and tactics. that's 10 games from one series. after a while, it would be easy to start mixing names up.

Hence my complaint that monsters should be housed away in stables away from the main party reserves. Only real chocobo knight so far in the series where you keep your chocobo at all times until KO is FFA2 chocobo rider.

tactics advance had a monster stable, but i think you can only have one monster. i don't remember. i only did it once, and it was like playing the worst version of pokemon ever made. stopped playing it shortly after that.

Probably yeah most PS1 games i played were only once it's RE1/2 that i went through twice for each of the 4 characters.

i played ff9 several times; a couple of times on a psx, once on a psx, got it on steam and i'm on disc 3 for the switch version. ff4 is probably one of my favorite psx games to play. i filled up about 6 memory cards with ff4 files back many years ago when i was a kid.

Well that's a lot can't even compete with you on FF4 lad

Man, this new version of Triple Triad rocks.

This reminds me I need to pick my first play through if FFIV 3D back up on Steam

I'm about to beat FFIX for the first time since I got it in 5th grade (with the artbook!) but I'm afraid that if I do I'll lose some part of that world that I've always held in my mind....The Place I'll Return to One Day, if you will

Resonant Arc is doing their next series on FFIX btw.

Great discussion if you're a fan. I actually learned a bit about FFIX's development even as a longtime fan who thought I knew everything about it.

Also, I got the mousepad the other day and it's exquisite

I need to replay and study FFXVI ( I just bought it on steam and its been years since I played, never beat the DLC either) before I make an article analyzing it's glorious story.

Final Fantasy XVI- Somber and Meaningful story with epic scale held back by easy repetitive gameplay.

While I am perturbed by the ease of difficulty in Final Fantasy XVI there is no mistaking the quality in the presentation. The visuals are a herculean feat, and the story is a sublime concoction of surreal and melancholic themes. The music is an epic blaring fiesta to behold. Final Fantasy XVI...

retrogametalk.com

I just did a review on it. I need to go back and play VIII

The only FF games I beat were, IX, X, VIIR, XVI and I enjoyed all.

I played 2 discs of VII, some of VIII (love its aesthetics but the story puzzles me), some of XII and XIII.

I hear the Final Fantasy Main Theme and I get teary eyed. I make an effort to not listen to it in public. It reminds me of all of those adventures I had in FF9 when I was a kid. I love that game and specially the soundtrack.

 

[MasterEn]

got a new clipboard that's about a foot wide and nearly 1 and a half feet tall. copy paper and cardstock fits on it very nicely. i can turn the paper around almost just like on my drawing tablet.
made a drawing using some pens and pencils that i got some time ago.
i like mixing both of those together; there's a lot of potential for some interesting drawings to be made.

 

[Zarathusta]

Just beat the final fantasy 2 pixel remaster pretty fun though the dungeon design is so awful.
It really got me interested in the saga series because of the levelling system.
Next up is the 3 pixel remaster and then the 3d remake.

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

The only mainline that I want to play is FF V and FFXIII

(I don't play 11 and 14 15 and 16)

(The rest I already beat it)

You should play 5 for sure!

Building up my Steam Summer Sale cart and I heard somethings about FFXVI that makes disappointed if this the series' new direction and I'm not that interested in FFI's remake bur I could pick that up or Crisis Core. Need help in choosing or maybe I should look for indies and give up on FF and just buy up the FFT remake for nostalgia hits.

i've heard of ff16 being called "anime game of thrones". it is supposed to be more action based than previous instalments.
by ff1 remake, do you mean 'stranger of paradise'? if so, that's not a remake, it's a prequel of sorts to the first game. it pales in comparison to dissidia final fantasy in terms of being a prequel to the start of the franchise; so just play dissidia and 012 dissidia instead of that.
crisis core is the only good part of the ff7 series.
there's also plenty of hacks of the first 6 ff games, including some that add tons of extra content like ff4 ultima and some that tell their own stories like ff4 unprecedented crisis and there are several of those for ff6.

I got Hollow Knight and Alan Wake on sale, really cheap. I have waaay too many games to play to care about bad Final Fantasies. Once they start making FF RPGs again, maybe I'll give them another chance.

Crisis Core is alright, but you can download the PSP version here, not sure why you'd want to spend money on it.

A prequel to the FFI? Well that's a bit more interesting. Yeah Anime GOT might be a mild term if they paid a bit more attention to the political intrigue but to me it reminded me of FFXIII but with the inclusion of towns which didn't warrant me to bypass the story flags I got from reviews. I'm putting stuff usually not my fair in my cart but the call of an RPG is too hard to ignore and Crisis Core I know isn't my flavor and just wanted to know if I should have given any the last FF titles a chance this sale or just look for an indie to fill the scratch.
