Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Hints

How to get holy blade early

First, make sure you have steal ability, then free both sprohm and cyril from clan bonzoi, then there will be a mission at the pub which asks you to kill ppl called ravens, then when doing the mission, steal the ability from the paladin as he has holyblade and other skills. If you can, steal his items too as it is gd for the early game

How to get rid of montyblack.... because he is really iritating

On the mission hit again or the first jagad mission let montyblack die and don't revive him. At the end of the battle marche will try and tell montyblack that they won but he will dissapear and you won't get a game over.

Easy way to defeat 3rd Totema (Ultima)

All you have to do is get a Moogle with 10 JP points use his totema to kill or weaken all the crystals in the room. After that just send Marche or someone and a weak character (Like a healer) in to finish the rest off. Marche is there to kill the crystals, the healer to smack Marche out of confusion or infatuation if he gets hit by the crystals

Secret Unstoppable Weapons

I have a guy who cannot be beat! I took Cheney, the Hunter you get with Ultima Shot, and turned him into a ninja, mastered Double Sword, turned him into a fighter, and equipped him with a Temple Cloth, Headband, Fairy Shoes, Bone Armlets, Ebon Blade, and Adaman Blade. He's level 36, with a 527 attack power, and a 420 defense!!! Also, his react ability is strikeback, so he can't be damaged greatly by other 1-panel weapon. I've been able to beat other clans, even Bloodthirsters, with just Cheney! I also have a Bangaa warrior with an attack of 497, and can deal 437 damage on a toaded enemy. His weapon is the Estreledge, and is equipped with materia armor, acacia hat, ninja tabi, and genji armlets. I've done 437 damage to a level 41 enemy, and he's only level 30! If you want to win quick and easy, go with this guide.

Advanced extremely good team

Ok after yohave gotten tired of weak warriors and monks change one monk into a bishop change the other into a templar and change two warriors into defenders and the other into a gladiator and now you have two seperate teams connected by one dragoon bangaa yeah!!!!!!go!bangaa!!!army!!!

Extremely good team

Ok make sure you have the team I mentioned earlier and all you have to do is accept bangaa's into your team make sure you only accept bangaa's into your team and only let five join (if you got rid of your bangaa you start out with you messed this up p.s.i forgot to mention make sure your starting bangaa is a dragoon with spellblade ability)make two of them monks make the other 3 warriors and there you go bangaa army yeah!!!!!

Very good team

Ok make marche a fighter with white magic as backup ability,make montblanc a gunner with call backup ability,make youre spare human a ninja with fighter backup ability,make your nu mou a white mage, make your viera a fencer with sharpshoot backup ability.

Easy leveling up

At the very beggining of the game, when you are fighting the 2 bangaas after you bump into one of them, knock out montblanc first. He will heal 1 time when someone gets a judge point but keep at it. After that kill the warrior and try to leave the monk because he is weaker. After that, move as far away from the enemy as you can and use first aid. It will give you 10 experience each time. It takes a while depending on what level you are aiming for but I got to level 30 and it took me and hour and a half. Definatly worth it.

Another way is later in the game when you fave the lilith. The mission is called evil bride or somethin but she is level 26. Surround her and try to blind her so she can't hurt your units. After that, attack her in any way possible. It's best if you hurt her you heal her after jsut incase. It's easy and it's worth it

Strong Starting Team

At the very begining of the game right after you place sprohm somewhere, kick 3 of your clan mates out (veira, nu mou, and bangaa) and make sure you leave your human. After that, contract herb picking. After completing that, go to the pub, and depending on the month there should be a mission called "human wanted" for kingmoon (bangaa wanted-madmoon, numuo wanted-sagemoon, moogle wanted-bardmoon, and veira wanted- huntmoon). Do those and you can sometimes get expert jobs like assasins, defenders, fighters and so on. You may not have the equipment for them right away but deck marche out with the best equipment and tough it out for a few missions. Thats what I did and I have and assasin, fighter, dragoon, and a sage.

Leveling up....

Each job has different growth rates, here are the ones I use the most...(when you level up, you get a set of points added to you're stats, the thing is that they are randomly given to you're character when they level up, see below to see how it works and all that, I think I got all of them correct...)

Easy Zombies

Easy way to defeat zombies and vampires is to get monk and archer/hunter .. (or anyone who can do holy dmg) .. But with monks their effecting attack is Exorcise; it kills zombies and vampires with one hit and they can't resurrect .. Archers have attack named Burial that acts same way as Exorcise ..
P.S. Don't ever toss Mission items away .. They might be needed ...
P.S.S. To deal high dmg with combo .. Use 1 paladin, 1 dragoon & 1 ninja to deal over 600 dmg when they're at lvl 25-40 (if trained right way)

This is the easiest way possible to kill zombies and vampires. Get a summoner and teach her to summon pheonix. Holy attacks damage them as opposed to healing them, and pheonix is holy. It does the exact opposite and normally healing spells always have a 100%
Hit rate. So summon pheonix is a one-hit KO with a 100% hit rate against zombies and vampires. This is incredibly useful in one quest (I can't remember which one) where you have to defeat a level 40 something vampire, or the battle where you have to take Jagd Ahli back when people try to take it over.

Okay if you can't find any new missions or you can't do the missions, you got 2 reasons.
You have either discarded the mission item or you haven't looked at the rumours.

Most likely you haven't looked at the rumours

MAJOR DAMAGE!!!

Ok here is how I'm rich with damage
1. ( I'm assuming you no how 2 make ninjas ) get 4 soldiers, make them into theifs and then ninjas... Teach them all double sword and combat combo
2. For the other 2 get 2 moogles and make them gunners and teach them combat combo
3. Make the battle field look like this ( ignore the –‘s )
1 = ninja, 2 = gunner, 3 = enemy
---------------------------------1-------------------------------------
---------------------------2---131---2--------------------------------
---------------------------------1-------------------------------------
Then get one of the ninjas to do combat combo and the 2 gunners and the 3 other ninjas should start flashing ( this means they will attack in the combo ) so do the combo and the ninjas will come in and double attack and the gunners will shoot at the guy and then the ninja who is doing the combo will do the koolest one
*NOTE* IM A LEVEL 36 CLAN AND I DID OVER 1000 DAMAGE!!!!!

Making fast money!! ( for new players )

Ok, so first do a couple missions until you have 9000 gil, make montblac a theif and go to a shop, then search in the theif section of daggers until you find rondell dagger and purchase it, equip it, because the special with it is steal ARMOUR!

Now I'm a lvl 32 clan and I still use it, because it brings in big $$$ any ways with montblac and the dagger do some missions and challenge other clans but, before you start the battle press L and move around and click status on the other pplz to see who to go for first.

Although clans might have crappy armour, mission pplz have good armour and I have 845 000 gil from doing this :-[)

Put an end to Li-Grim

When you first start the game keep looking for the mission that gives you "The Hero Goal". Complete the mission to get it. Then use it in as many missions as possible to get Lini who already knows Ultima Sword. The sooner you get her the better. Teach her as many things as possible but do not change her from a Mog Knight except to change into a gunner(you'll need to turn her into an animalist first and learn at least one a-abilities). As a gunner have her learn concentrate then switch her back to a Mog Knight. Also by the time you get to Ambervale have her at least level 25 and equipted with all of your best things to get the attack of Lini to at least 300. Now heres what to do, first have some ethers and people who can use item, make sure to have Lini as one of your people. Second have her use Ultima Sword on the Li-Grim(if you taught her concentrate you can do it from the front and hit).Third have somebody use an ether on Lini so she can use Ultima Sword again. It should only take two if her attack is at least 300 but if not repeat until it's dead. You can also do this on the people before the Li-Grim.

The Zeus Mace

The Zeus Mace is a hard item to obtain that gives a Sage the Ultima Blow ability. The easiest way to get it is to steal it from the Alchemist in the Golden Clock mission. You will need to use Sensor or Mog Peek in order to find it, then steal the other weapon that he is holding first.
