They didn't have DQIV but I bought V which I love but have only played emulated before. I also bought Rocket Slime and a couple of non-RPGs

Rocket Slime

i had too much fun jumping into the enemy's ship and beating them down instead of actually paying attention to anything else

a cool thing u can do is like choose 2-3 classes that you will exclusively use the entire run.

i have done time mage and geomancer and it was the perfect difficulty level basically.

also i think aesthetically those classes really stand out

the way that various skills and classes base their damage in FFT is cool. like Samurais basing sword art damage on the magic stat, so you can build a mostly Black Mage character and spec them into sword arts, and give them insta-cast status inflicting AOE attacks that destroy everything around them (or heal). or geomancers having one of the best physical attacks in the game, so you can build a character with equip knight sword who can deal out shitloads of physical damage while having a great support ability with huge range that inflicts statuses. i have it on my phone, but it kills my battery... i should get back to playing it

It's cool in concept but they did a really bad job balancing things to the point where on replays you kind of have to make your own fun by not using certain jobs or combos

It is really cool to figure out the uses of a lesser known class though

Still one of my favorites

i never used named characters because i become invested in my generics and by the time i get someone i might want to use i'd rather just be building out someone i've spent half the game using. i might use mustadio or agrias this time though.

FFTA 2 had that combo of a flying class and a move that did lots of damage if you back attack (you can back attack everything you fly), also a passive that made elemental magic do like double damage and you could mix it with the class that had strikes of every element to kill everything in one hit.

Also tricksters that could ultima strike from like 8 squares away, illusionist+magic frenzy to attack every unit on the map, red mage+summoner+blood price to be able to double cast summons from turn 1

FFTA series gets a lot of hate but the dumb job stuff was still fun

I did a named only run (no TG Cid) cuz I would never use them otherwise. By the end you still get too many they toss a bunch of the fun stuff on you in the absolute endgame

my favorite thing was to give the samurai katana skill thing to a black mage, because it's damage is based off of MA, and then have them just teleport into groups of enemies and pwn them

in the original if something resolves mid-jump it misses, and if they've completed the jump, they are back where they started (not next to an enemy) afaik

I really wanted to like Seeqs because they have two of my favorite FF classes in their list (Dark Knight and Viking) but I never really bothered using them. Maybe I'll do a Hard Mode run of FFTA2 and make sure I use at least one.
