------------
--------------------------------------
| Battle 01-Orbonne Monastery |
| Enemy Units:Knight,Archer(3),Chemist |
| Difficulty:1/5 |
| Recommended Level:10 |
| Treasure:None |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| This is a testing battle and you cannot even die. You only control |
| Ramza and the Computer takes control of your other units. Don't |
| worry about Ramza Dying. Agrias and Gafgarion will handle most |
| of the enemy units with their strong sword attacks. Ramza can take |
| care of any remaining enemies with his normal Sword Attacks. Use |
| this battle to experiment with the battle system. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the princess will be kidnapped by someone, and the
scene will switch to the school. After some dialouge, some Thieves will
attack the City, and the students will be sent to fight them off. On the
screen for picking your team press R1 to change characters in your
team and compose a team of Ramza,2 Squires,2 Chemists.
-----------------------------------
| Battle Map 02-Magic City Gariland |
| Objective:Defeat All Enemies |
| Enemy Units:Squires(4),Chemist |
| Difficulty:1/5 |
| Recommended Level:1 |
| Treasure:None |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Make sure that no-one dies in this battle, because you don't |
| have the luxury of a Phoenix Down for this battle, have the |
| Chemist use a Potion on anyone who's HP drops below 20. Send |
| 2 Fighters and a Chemist to the roofs to defeat the enemies |
| there, while Ramza,Delita, and the other Chemist deals with |
| the enemies before you. Concentrate your attacks on one |
| enemy, or the enemy Chemist will heal his comrades with a |
| Potion. All in all this should not be a tough battle |
---------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, Ramza will see his dying father, and then head for
Igros Castle. Make sure to buy some Potions, and Phoenix Downs with the
money you won in the last battle. If possible change one of your generic
characters to a Black Mage, and teach all the characters who can be
tought the Phoenix Down ability
------------------------------------------------------------
| How Do I Get The Treasure On Each BattleField? |
| Equip a character with the Move-Find item Chemist Movement |
| Ability and then stand on the panel where the treasure is |
| located. You will get one of the 2 treasures listed...To |
| get the better treasures you must have a high brave level |
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 03-Mandalia Plains |
| Objective 1:Defeat All Enemies |
| Objective 2:Save Algus |
| Enemy Units:Squires(4),Thief,Red Panther |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:2 |
| Treasure:X:0 Y:0-Dagger,Potion |
| X:4 Y:4-Broad Sword,Hi-Potion |
| X:4 Y:12-Rod,Antidote |
| X:8 Y:6-Oak Staff,Eye Drop |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Choose "Destroy The DeathCorps for an easier battle. By doing so |
| your brave level will be increased by 10 for the battle and by 2 |
| permenantly. By Choosing to Destroy the DeathCorps, you don't have |
| to worry about the death of Algus. Use Fire spells on the enemy |
| if you have a BlackMage for some good damage. Make sure your |
| Chemist who knows the PhoenixDown ability stays behind and revives |
| anyone who dies in battle. Kill the enemy one by one and then pick |
| up the crystals they leave behind. None of the enemies have any |
| very damaging attacks aside from the Red Panther which can poison |
| your characters. Finish off the enemy quickly and Algus will join |
| you as a Guest. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Head to Igros where you will be told to stay behind and guard the
castle. You still decide to disobey your Brother and head out to save
the Marquis. Level up your characters to Level 4 or so, and change
Ramza, and another character to a Knight. Get enough money to buy
the best equipment for a Knight. Now your party should be........
Ramza(Knight)
Knight(Man)
Black Mage(Woman)
Chemist
White Mage(Woman)
Delita(Guest)
Algus(Guest)
Your White Mage should have some Cure spells and maybe a Protect or
Shell spell, and your Black Mage should have all the Level 1 spells
(Fire,Ice,Bolt) and maybe Fire2, or Bolt2. Then Head for the Sweegy
Woods.
---------------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 04-Sweegy Woods |
| Objective:Kill All Enemies |
| Enemy Units:Goblin(2),BlackGoblin(2),Bomb(2),RedPanther |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:3 |
| Treasure:X:0 Y:1-Bow Gun,Echo Grass |
| X:1 Y:9-Escutcheon,PhoenixDown |
| X:5 Y:11-Leather Helmet,Potion |
| X:6 Y:6-Leather Hat,Hi-Potion |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| As long as your characters are Level 3, or even better Level 4. |
| Have your BlackMages use Ice Magic on the Goblins, which will |
| usually kill them in one hit, because of their weakness to Ice. |
| Make sure to kill the Bomb quickly and not leave it at low HP |
| or it will explode for some major damage against your characters. |
| Have your chemist use PhoenixDowns on anyone who dies in the |
| fight. |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure your characters are Level 4 with one Wizard,2 Knights, and a
chemist with Phoenix Down before going into the Slums of Dorter.
-----------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 05-Slums of Dorter |
| Objective:Kill All Enemies |
| Enemy Units:Knight,Archer(3),Wizard(2) |
| Difficulty:3/5 |
| Recommended Level:4 |
| Recommended Party:BlackMage,Knight(2),Chemist |
| Treasure:X:0 Y:11-Leather Armor,Antidote |
| X:4 Y:3-Clothes,Eye Drop |
| X:6 Y:14-Mythril Knife,Echo Grass |
| X:7 Y:1-Long Sword,Phoenix Down |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| This is the 1st hard fight in the game. Keep your BlackMage |
| in the back casting spells at the enemy. Target the Wizards |
| 1st or they will deal some real bad damage on your characters. |
| Keep your chemist in the back throwing PhoenixDowns on any |
| fallen alies. Let Delita, and Algus handle the Archer on the |
| top while your characters deal with the enemies on the ground |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, the Knight will spill some info on the Marquis being
hidden in the Cellar of the Sand Rats in the Desert. That is your next
destination.
--------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 06-Cellar Of The Sand Mouse |
| Objective:Kill All Enemies |
| Enemy Units:Knight(3),Monk(2),Archer |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:5 |
| Recommended Party:Knight(2),Wizard,Chemist |
| Treasure:X:5 Y:4-Bronze Helmet,Potion |
| X:6 Y:2-Feather Hat,Hi-Potion |
| X:10 Y:10-Linen Cuirass,Antidote |
| X:10 Y:9-Leather Outfit,Eye Drop |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Have your Wizard line up behind the walls and cast Fire2 spells |
| on the enemies there. Your other characters should head inside |
| the fort and finish off the other enemies that are badly hurt |
| from the spells. Pick up the remaining crystals before finishing |
| off the last enemy to get some useful skills for your characters |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Marquis will be saved and you'll head back to Igros. Before going to
Igros buy some new Light Armor in Dorter for your characters. You also
might wanna teach your Chemist the Throw Item ability so he can throw
items while in another class. Change your chemist into a Priest, or some
other class. Make sure all your characters have the Squire Gained Jp Up
skill which is vital in getting more JobPoints. Then head for Igros.
Dycedarg will send you off to battle some thieves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 07-Thieves Fort |
| Objective:Kill Miluda |
| Enemy Units:Miluda(Knight),Thief(3),Priest(2) |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:6 |
| Recommended Party:Knight(2),Wizard,Priest(W/ThrowItem Ability) |
| Treasure:X:1 Y:10-Flame Rod,Antidote |
| X:2 Y:10-Ice Rod,Eye Drop |
| X:5 Y:9-White Staff,Echo Grass |
| X:9 Y:10-Long Bow,Phoenix Down |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Watch out for the enemy priests as they sometimes have Black Magic |
| as their secondary ability and can cause some really nasty damage |
| to your characters. The thieves can use the Steal Heart ability |
| which can charm your characters and have them do the dirty work |
| for the enemy. Have your Wizard cast Fire2 spells on the Priests |
| to finish them off quickly, while your Knights quickly deal with |
| the thieves. If you want you can finish Miluda quickly by using 2 |
| Fire2 spells on her quickly, but its best to kill all the enemies |
| before to pick up some skills from the crystals. Make sure to watch |
| out for Miluda who can use the Knight's Break attacks which break |
| your characters Armor, or Weapons lowering their HP and Strength |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In Igros Castle, there is trouble abrewing. Teta gets kidnapped and
Dycedarg is injured in battle. Go back to Igros where Algus will leave
your party, while Ramza and Delita will leave to try to find Teta. Head
for Lenalia Plateau. Make sure all your characters are level 7 and all
your characters have the best armor possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 08-Lenalia Plateau |
| Objective:Kill Miluda |
| Enemy Units:Knight(3),Wizard(2),Time Mage |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:7 |
| Recommended Party:Knight(2),Black Mage,White Mage(Chemist) |
| Treasure:X:2 Y:8-Buckler,Potion |
| X:4 Y:4-Iron Helmet,Hi-Potion |
| X:5 Y:10-Red Hood,Antidote |
| X:10 Y:6-Bronze Armor,Eye Drop |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| As long as your Black Mage knows the Fire 2 spell, or any other |
| level 2 spell, then this battle will be very easy. Have your Black |
| Mage use the level 2 spell, checking the AT unit list(Press Right)to|
| make sure that the spell will discharge before the enemy moves outof|
| the way. Your Knights should attack normally, and collect the left |
| over crystals to gain new skills. After all is done, then go ahead |
| and kill, Miluda for an easy win. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I suggest that you change Ramza into a Monk, providing that Ramza
has learned the Equip Armor Knight skill. Equip Ramza with the Equip
Armor skill to raise his HP, while keeping the attacking capabilties of
the Monk intact.
-----------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 09-Windmill Shed |
| Objective:Kill Wiegraf |
| Enemy Units:Wiegraf,Monk(2),Chocobo,Knight |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:8 |
| Recommended Party:Monk,Knight,Black Mage,White Mage |
| Treasure:X:0 Y:9-Leather Vest,Echo Grass |
| X:3 Y:4-Linen Robe,Phoenix Down |
| X:5 Y:8-Small Mantle,Potion |
| X:6 Y:0-Mage Masher,Hi-Potion |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Wiegraf's Crush Punch can do 55+ damage, and sometimes |
| instantly will kill a character. Its best to charge in |
| quickly and kill Wiegraf with Black Magic, but watch |
| out, because Wiegraf will sometimes block a Magic Attack. |
| If you do not kill Wiegraf quickly, then the Monks will |
| cause some considerable damage with their Wave Fist |
| attacks, and the Yellow Chocobo will move forward and heal |
| Wiegraf. So Kill that Bastard quickly, or you will regret |
| it. Wiegraf will run away when his HP gets to a low level. |
-------------------------------------------------------------
The chapter is about to come to a close, but before you go to the last
battle, make sure to level up to level 10, and maybe even make 2 Black
Mages
---------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 10-Fort Zeakden |
| Objective:Kill Algus |
| Enemy Units:Knight(Algus),Knight(3),Wizards(2) |
| Difficulty:3/5 |
| Recommended Level:10 |
| Recommended Party:Team 1-Ramza,Black Mage |
| Team 2-Knight,Black Mage |
| Treasure:X:3 Y:3-Bronze Shield,Potion |
| X:2 Y:10-Chain Mail,Hi-Potion |
| X:4 Y:7-Chain Vest,Antidote |
| X:8 Y:12-Silk Robe,Eye Drop |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| This is the toughest battle of the entire chapter, so |
| be prepared. There are 2 black mages in the back of |
| Algus which can cause some nasty damage to your |
| characters. Charge forward with Ramza, who hopefully |
| has learned some Monk skills, and concentrate your |
| attacks on Algus, Make your Black Mage do the same |
| thing, and hopefully, you will be able to kill him |
| before the enemy does some damage to your squadrone |
-------------------------------------------------------

| Chapter 2 |
-----------
-------------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 11-Dorter Trade City |
| Objective:Kill All Enemies |
| Enemy Units:Thief(2),Archer(2),Wizard(2) |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:10 |
| Recommended Party:Monk,Black Mage,White Mage,Knight |
| Treasure:X:0 Y:1-Ice Bow,Potion |
| X:2 Y:6-Shuriken,Hi-Potion |
| X:8 Y:4-Round Shield,Ether |
| X:8 Y:10-Barbuta,Echo Grass |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Let Gafgarion+Agrias deal with most of their enemies with |
| their powerful sword attacks. Make sure to hide your |
| White Mage, behind the buildings healing your units, |
| because the enemies can deal some very high damage to |
| units. Take out the Wizards first as they deal the most |
| damage out of all the characters. The thieves might have |
| the ability to Steal Heart of your units(Males can only |
| charm females, and Females can only Charm males). If they |
| do then kill those bastards first. |
-----------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, head to the stores, and buy the most up to date
equipment. Lances are now available at Igros castle, which allows you to
train Lancers which are a very powerful class.
-------------------------------------------------
| Battle Map 12-Araguay Woods |
| Objective:Kill all Enemies or Save Chocobo |
| Enemy Units:Goblin(5),Black Goblin |
| Difficulty:1/5 |
| Recommended Level:11 |
| Recommended Party:Monk,Knight,Black Mage,Lancer |
| Treasure:X:3 Y:5-Headgear,Soft |
| X:4 Y:2-Mythril Armor,Phoenix Down |
| X:8 Y:5-Mythril Vest,Potion |
| X:11 Y:9-Spike Shoes,Hi-Potion |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| Picking kill all enemies drops your parties brave level by 10, and |
| your permament brave level by about 2, but its still best to pick |
| kill all enemies, because the Chocobo is pretty stupid, and will |
| usually get himself killed. Use Ice magic on the goblins, because |
| they are weak against, and will usually die from it in one hit. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the next battle: CHANGE GAFGARION INTO A CHEMIST AND UNEQUIP ALL
HIS WEAPONS AND ARMOR
-------------------------------------------------
| Battle 13-Zirekile Falls |
| Objective:Save Princess Ovelia |
| Enemy Units:Gafgarion,Knight(5) |
| Difficulty:2/5 |
| Recommended Level:12 |
| Recommended Party:Monk,Knight,Black Mage,Lancer |
| Treasure:X:1 Y:6-Leather Mantle,Ether |
| X:5 Y:7-Platina Dagger,Echo Grass |
| X:7 Y:5-Coral Sword,Soft |
| X:8 Y:5-Poison Rod,Phoenix Down |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
| As long as you de-equipped Gafgarion of all his items, then you will|
| be able to kill him in one hit. Use black magic, and regular attacks|
| on the knights close to you, while letting Delita take care of the |
| enemy knights on his side. Ovelia will usually cast an MBarrier |
| spell on herself, which protects her from attacks to some point, |
| and runs away to the side. Use your most powerful attacks, and |
| defeat the enemies. Delita is poweful, and won't need much help, |
| but its better to get some allies on his side to quicken the defeat |
| of the enemies. |

| Pros |
------
-High Atk and HP allow him to run right into the battle and not worry
about dying, while dishing out enormous damage with his large swords
-The battle skill can be useful in making a tough enemy, such as a boss
powerless without his weapon, and low Atk, and Spd
-The battle skill can be a long-range skill because its range depends
totally on the weapon equipped
-Equip with the Ninja's two sword ability and he can be one of the most
powerful characters in the game

------
| Cons |
------
-Archers are probably the most useless class in the game
-Their range is very limited and you'll often find yourself standing
too close to the enemy so you can't shoot them
-Their Charge ability is also useless as it rarely does a lot of damage
and takes way too long to charge to be of any use and you'll often
find the enemy will move out of the way before you can shoot

but in the first chapter, a party of a monk,2 knights, and a black

_________________________________
[1.1] definitions & abbreviations
===========================

Before you read this guide, there are a few definitions and
abbreviations which you should understand:

- An ATTACK is any action taken in battle except for 'Defend',
'Wait', or 'Equip Change'.

- The CASTER is the unit (person or monster) executing an attack.

- The TARGET is the unit(s) on the receiving end of the attack.
The caster and target can be the same unit.

- PHYSICAL AT is the number next to the sword icon on the middle
panel of the status screen. It indicates a character's physical
attack power. In this guide, Physical AT is sometimes abbreviated
'PA'. Min: 1 Max: 99

- MAGICAL AT is the number next to the sceptre icon on the middle
panel of the status screen. It indicates a character's magical
ability. In this guide, Magical AT is sometimes abbreviated as
'MA'. Min: 1 Max: 99

- WEAPON POWER is the strength of the equipped weapon. It can be
seen on the middle panel of the status screen, next to the
letter of the appropriate hand ('R' or 'L'). Min: 0 Max: 40

- A PHYSICAL ATTACK is any attack which uses Physical AT in its
calculation.

- A MAGICAL ATTACK is any attack which uses Magical AT in its
calculation. Some attacks (e.g. Geomancy) can be both physical
and magical.

- BRAVE, which is listed on-screen under the character's name and
occupation, is a stat which supposedly represents courage in
battle. It's a factor in many special skills and a few
weapon attacks, and also represents the rate at which you'll
use your Reaction Ability. In this guide, you will see it
abbreviated as 'Br'. Min: 1 (below 10 = Chicken) Max: 100

- FAITH, listed on-screen next to Brave, is supposed to represent
belief in miracles and supernatural phenomena. It factors into
both magic damage and rate of success, and is an important
stat for a mage. We abbreviate it here as 'Fa'. Min: 1
Max: 100 (if it's above 90, any character except Ramza or a
Guest will leave)

- The RANGE of an attack is the number of squares, counted in a
straight line, that the attack has the potential to target (not
counting the caster himself). It is represented on the screen when
an attack is selected by red, glowing panels. Examples:

(X = Caster)
# #
# ### #
# ### ##### #
#X# ##X## ###X### ###X###
# ### ##### #
# ### #
Range 1 Range 2 # #
Range 3 Range 3
(4 directions)

Usually, Range is independent of vertical height, but for some
skills (e.g., Talk Skill), it can be limited by height difference.

- The EFFECT AREA of an attack determines which panels will actually be
hit by the attack. It's determined by counting the number of squares
an attack can hit from the centre to one corner of the effect area.
Effect area is usually restricted by vertical height. Most attacks
have a height tolerance of 2-3, but it varies greatly. When an attack
has an overly restrictive or permissive vertical effect area, we try
to note it in the guide, but it's not absolutely complete.

Examples:
O
O OOO
O OOO OOOOO
O OOO
O
Effect 1 Effect 2 Effect 3

A combination of range and effect area is used to determine the
attack's firing range. We represent this in the guide as two
numbers,
the first being the range and the second the effect area. For
instance, a spell with firing range {5/1} means it has a range of 5
and an effect area of 1. If there is an effect area greater than one,
it can make the attack go further than the range.

Special firing ranges:

- for LINEAR firing ranges, the range is measured in the number
of squares outward (not including caster) that the attack can
target, followed by the number of directions the line can go in.
the effect area is measured by the number of squares it affects,
and the number of directions in which it does so. for example,
the 'Holy Explosion' attack is {5(4dir)/5(1dir)}.

- for AUTOMATIC firing ranges, the range and the effect area are
always the same. This is denoted by {A/N}, where N is the
number of squares, in a straight line counted from the centre
of the effect area, that the attack effects. For instance, {A/3}
is illustrated below.

#: panel in range
O: affected panel

#X# ###X### ###X### OOXOO
# ##### # OOO
### # O
# #
1/1 3/2 3(4directions)/ A/3
3(1direction) (caster is affected)

abbreviations & symbols:
------------------------

+ means addition
- means subtraction
* means multiplication
/ means division

[X] means the greatest integer less than or equal to X (or, 'always
round X _down_ to the nearest one.'). Note that if X is negative,
this means that the absolute value of the number you round to will
always be _greater_ than the number (because more negative is 'less').
For instance, [1.04] = 1, [-31.9] = -32, [5] = 5, [10.5] = 10,
[-3.0001] = -4, [.7] = 0, [11.999] = 11. Be sure to note the
difference between [ ] and ( ) in the formulas.

Br = Brave
Fa = Faith
MA = Magical AT
PA = Physical AT
WP, WpnPwr = Weapon's power
CFa = Caster's Faith
TFa = Target's Faith
Lv = Level
MaxHP = Maximum HP (in HP 500/556, 556 is the MaxHP)
CurHP = Current HP (in HP 500/556, 500 is the CurHP)
MaxMP = Maximum MP
CurMP = Current MP
CT = Charge Time
P.SEv = Physical Shield Evade%
P.CEv = Physical Inherent Evade%
P.AEv = Physical Accessory Evade%
M.SEv = Magical Shield Evade%
M.CEv = Magical Inherent Evade%
M.AEv = Magical Accessory Evade%
WEv = Weapon Evade%
R/E = range / effect area
dir = directions
A/2, A/3, etc. = automatic firing range 2, 3, etc. (see above)
V = vertical (in effect area)

_________________________
[1.2] signs of the zodiac
===================

Every person or monster in FFT has a Zodiac sign. The interaction
of the Zodiac signs is always an effect in damage calculation.
In general, the better the compatibility, the higher the damage
or the success rate of attacks between two units.

compatibility chart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ar Ta Ge Cn Lo Vg Li Sc Sa Cp Aq Pi Se
Aries O O O - + O ? O + - O O O
Taurus O O O O - + O ? O + - O O
Gemini O O O O O - + 0 ? 0 + - O

Aquarius O - + O ? O + - O O O O O
Pisces O O - + O ? O + - O O O O
Serpentarius O O O O O O O O O O O O O

O: Neutral
+: Good
-: Bad
?: Worst (same sex), Best (opposite sex)

Zodiac compatibility almost always affects damage or</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
success rate of attacks. The 'Zodiac Multipliers' (Z) are generally
as follows:

> For chances of success and for faith-based magic:
Good compatibility: damage or chance * 1.25
Bad compatibility: damage or chance * 0.75
Best compatibility: damage or chance * 1.50
Worst compatibility: damage or chance * 0.50

> When the format for the damage from an attack is
(multiplier) * (PA, MA, or Weapon Power),
the Zodiac effect is applied to the multiplier, and then the multiplier
is multiplied by the PA, MA, or WP normally:

Good compatibility: (multiplier + [multiplier/4])
Bad compatibility: (multiplier - [multiplier/4])
Best compatibility: (multiplier + [multiplier/2])
Worst compatibility: (multiplier - [multiplier/2])

For instance, let's say an Aries with 13 PA and a Rune Blade
attacks a Cancer. Aries and Cancer have 'Bad' compatibility, so:

Damage {before Zodiac} = [13] * 14
Damage {after Zodiac} = [13 - [13/4]] * 14 <-- Notice that Zodiac is
= [13 - 3] * 14 applied before multiplying
by WP
= [10] * 14
= 140

If you had applied the Zodiac effect after multiplying it out, you would
have got 137 damage, which is wrong.

More examples:

A magic attack that would normally do 200 damage, when used by a male
Libra,
will do 250 damage if used on an Aquarius or Gemini; will do 150 damage
if
cast on a Cancer or Capricorn; will do 100 damage if cast on a male
Aries,
and do 300 damage if cast on a female Aries.

Similarly, a spell cast by a female Pisces with a 56% success rate
normally,
will have a 70% success rate if cast on a Cancer or Scorpio; a 42%
success
rate if cast on a Gemini or Sagittarius; a 28% chance on a female Virgo,
and a 84% chance on a male Virgo.

Since monsters are unisex, they are immune from 'Best' and 'Worst'. So,
for a monster, any unit that would normally be 'Best' or 'Worst' is
instead
neutral. NOTE -- the following monster classes are exceptions to this:
Warlock, Angel of Death, Regulator, Holy Angel, Impure King, Ghost of
Fury,
Holy Dragon, Arch Angel.

'Critical hits' will sometimes occur at random intervals. I don't know
if the frequency of these hits has to do with Zodiac compatibility or
not. Regardless, damage done by a critical hit is equal to
[Normal damage * 4/3].

_____________
[1.3] evasion
=======

When you attack a unit, they have a chance to defend themselves with
four
things: (1) their natural stealth (C-EV); (2) their shield (S-EV); (3)
their
accessory (A-EV); (4) their weapon (WEV), if they have the support
ability
'Weapon Guard' equipped. These four percentages are multiplied together
and
subtracted from 100% to get the chance of actually hitting the unit with
the attack. There are separate categories for physical (P.SEV, P.AEV,
P.CEV)
and magical (M.SEV, M.AEV, M.CEV) damage. Weapon evasion only works on
physical attacks.

For instance, let's say Ramza attacks Algus -- who is equipped with a
Crystal Shield (P.SEV +40%, M.SEV +15%) and a Feather Mantle (P.AEV
+40%,
M.AEV +30%). The two have neutral Zodiac compatibility. Algus has no
inherent evade%, but his shield and cloak will give him a chance to
avoid
the damage:

Orig% Shield Cloak
Ramza's Hit% = 100 * (1-.40) * (1-.40) = 100 * .6 * .6 = 36%.

And if Ramza now decides to cast 'Flare' on Algus, Algus is also
considerably protected due to M.SEV and M.AEV:

Shield Cloak
Flare Hit% = 100 * (1-.15) * (1-.30) = 100 * .85 * .7 = .595 = 60%

Not all attacks are affected by all evade percentages. Here is a
partial list of attacks and the corresponding evasion percentages
to use.

Weapon Attack (front) P.AEV, P.CEV, P.SEV, W.EV
Weapon Attack (side) P.AEV, P.CEV, W.EV
Weapon Attack (rear) P.CEV
Stealing See [5.4]
Battle Skill See [5.5]
Talk Skill See [5.6]
Black Magic (damage-causing) M.AEV, M.SEV, M.CEV
Status-affecting magic M.CEV
Allure, Steal Heart,
Choco Ball P.CEV
Throw P.CEV, P.AEV

Some attacks will _always_ have 100% success rates,
regardless of the target's evasion percentages:

- all 'Holy Sword', 'Dark Sword', 'Mighty Sword'* attacks
- all Summon Magic except 'Silf', 'Carbunkle', 'Lich'
- all 'Draw Out' attacks
- all 'Fear' attacks (used by Zodiac beasts)
- 'Truth' and 'Un-truth' (that is, if they target the right panels)
- Shadow Stitch, Seal, Stop Bracelet (Assassin skills)
- Cure spells
- Choco Meteor
- Holy
- Dark Holy
- Meteor, Melt, Quake, Tornado
- Flare 2
- Giga Flare, Nanoflare, Lifebreak, Ulmaguest
- Ultima, All-Ultima
- Poison Frog, Midgar Swarm
- Geomancy
- Dash
- Limit (Cloud)
- Triple Flame, Triple Thunder, Dark Whisper (on panels they hit)
- Blow Fire, Mimic Titan
- Dragon Breath attacks
- Self-Destruct
- a few others

* 'Mighty Sword' cannot target monsters.

For all other magic spells which are _harmful_ to the target, you must
take evasion% into consideration. (For instance, a target would try
to evade 'Slow' but they wouldn't try to evade 'Haste'.)

spells,
regardless of whether they are caster or
target

The following statuses are considered 'positive': Faith, Float,
Haste, Innocent, Protect, Regen, Quick, Reraise, Shell.

The following are considered 'negative': Berserk, Blood Suck,
Charm, Chicken, Confusion, Darkness, Dead, Death Sentence,
Don't Act, Don't Move, Frog, Invite, Oil, Petrify, Poison,
Reflect, Silence, Sleep, Slow, Stop, Undead.

A target will try to evade 'negative' effects (and so you must
factor in evasion% for these), but will not try to avoid
'positive' effects. In addition, a target will never
try to avoid HP/MP recovery.

_________________________________
[1.5] elementals, my dear watson!
===========================

There are eight elemental properties in the game which affect
damage: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind, Dark, Holy.

The effects are as follows:

Target 'Weak: (Element)' ... Damage from element is doubled
'Half: (Element)' ... Damage from element is [halved]
'Cancel: (Element)' ... Attacks of element can't succeed
'Absorb: (Element)' ... Damage from element heals instead
of hurts

Caster 'Strengthen: (Element)' ... Damage = [Damage * 1.2]

The elemental affiliations of an attack are listed in its
description.

_________________________
[1.6] a few general notes
===================

CRYSTALS
When an enemy crystallizes and you are given the opportunity to
learn its abilities, you will gain _all_ of its abilities which you
did not have (not just one).

EXTRA JP
When person X gains JP, everyone else in the party will earn
[1/6 of gained JP] towards the job which person X currently has.

LEARNING MAGIC
Everyone knows that 'Ultima' and 'Zodiac' need to be learned by
experiencing their effects. But not as many know that _any_ spell
may be learned in this way. Simply have someone that knows the
spell cast it on someone (of the correct job) who doesn't know it
yet. They may be given a chance to learn it.

THUNDERSTORMS
In some battles, thunderstorms will be occurring. If
this is the case, then Lightning damage is multiplied by 1.2, and
Fire damage is multiplied by 0.8, unless the caster has
'Any Weather'.

INHERENT ABILITIES
Some classes have inherent abilities other than those the
game lists. For instance:

- 'Princess', 'Engineer' (Balk), and 'Lune Knight' always have
DefenseUP and MagicDefendUP.
- 'Serpentarius' is immune to Ice
- 'Archaic Demon' and 'Ultima Demon' have Martial Arts and Counter
- Many mosters have immunities to various elements, which you can
see by pressing SELECT on the monster's class name.
- Most classes to which 'boss' characters belong are immune to many
status ailments.

22 formulas for normal weapon attacks
22 (and barehanded attack)
22
22222222

___________________________
[2.1] normal weapon attacks
=====================

These formulas are used to calculate the damage that will result
when the specified weapon is equipped and you select the 'Attack'
command.

Bare Hands: PhysAT * [PhysAT * (Brave/100)]
(multiply the damage by 1.5 if the attacker has 'Martial Arts')

Knife: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power
(remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding)

Sword: Physical AT * Weapon's power

Knight Sword: (Brave/100 * Physical AT) * Weapon's Power

Ninja Sword: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power

Katana: (Brave/100 * Physical AT) * Weapon's Power

Staff: Magical AT * Weapon's power

Rod: Physical AT * Weapon's power

Crossbow: Physical AT * Weapon's power (Range 4)

Bow: (Physical AT - [(Physical AT - Speed)/2]) * Weapon's Power (Rng. 5)

Gun (regular): Gun's attack power squared (Range 8)

Gun (magical): Cast a level 1, 2, or 3 elemental spell (e.g.,
Bolt, Bolt 2, or Bolt 3 for the Blast Gun), with the MA being
equal to the gun's power. (Range 8) {see section 3.1}

Hammer: (Weapon Power * Random # from 1 to Physical AT)

Axe: (Weapon Power * Random # from 1 to Physical AT)

Stick: Magical AT * Weapon's power (Range 2 [4 directions])

Spear: Physical AT * Weapon's power (Range 2 [4 directions])

Musical Instrument: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr (range 3)

Dictionary: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr (range 3)

Cloth: [(PhysAT / 2) + (MagAT / 2)] * WpnPwr (range 2)

Bag: ([PhysAT / 2] + 1) * WP

_______________________________
[2.2] zodiac for weapon attacks
=========================

All weapon attacks involve (multiplier) * Weapon Power. The
Zodiac compatibility works as follows

Good: [multiplier + (multiplier/4)] * Weapon Power
Bad: [multiplier - (multiplier/4)] * Weapon Power
Best: [multiplier + (multiplier/2)] * Weapon Power
Worst: [multiplier - (multiplier/2)] * Weapon Power

_________________________
[3.1] faith-based attacks
===================

For faith-based, standard magical attacks,

Damage = Q * MA * CFa * TFa [always round down]
------------------
10000

where:
- 'Q' is the damage multiplier peculiar to the spell,
- 'MA' is the caster's Magical AT,
- 'CFa' is the caster's Faith, and
- 'TFa' is the target's Faith.

How to use the chart: Let's say you want to calculate the damage from
a 'Dark Holy' spell from a character with 15 Magic AT and 80 Faith,
targeting a character with 64 Faith and normal Zodiac compatibility.
Look
up 'Dark Holy' on the chart, and you find that its multiplier is 37.
So, substitute the numbers into the above formula:

Damage = 37 * 15 * 80 * 64 2,841,600
----------------- = --------- = 284.16 [round down] = 284 HP.
10000 10000

For Zodiac compatibility , just multiply the damage by the Zodiac
Multiplier (see [1.2]) and round down.

_ _
SUCCESS% = | / CFa * TFa * PM \ / CFa TFa \ |
| | -------------- | + | --- * --- * MA | |
|_ \ (100) / \ 100 100 / _|

(if those ASCII parentheses and brackets show up funny, the formula
written out on one line is
[((CFa * TFa * PM) / 100) + ((CFa/100) * (TFa/100) * MA)] ).

where PM is a percentage multiplier peculiar to the spell;
CFa is the caster's faith;
TFa is the target's faith.
[The 40 is arbitrarily chosen to simplify the P.M. numbers]

for instance, if you wanted to cast 'Frog' on a character with 50 Faith
with a Wizard with 75 faith and 14 Magic AT, then you would first look
up
the multiplier for 'Frog' (1.2). Then substitute:

[((CFa * TFa * PM) / 100) + ((CFa/100) * (TFa/100) * MA)] =
[((75 * 50 * 1.2) / 100) + ((.75) * (.50) * 14)] =
[45 + 5.25] = [50.25] = 50%

++ DON'T forget to ALSO multiply by the evade percents M.SEV, M.CEV and
M.AEV (convert them to decimals first ... i.e., 40% M.SEV = .40) of
the target you are casting the spell on.

++ ZODIAC SIGNS are also a factor: simply multiply the percentage by
the Zodiac Multiplier (see [1.2]).

______________
[5.1] draw out
========

Damage from Draw Out attacks is calculated based on the user's Magic AT:

draw out skill result {Range/Effect}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Asura Damage = 8 * Mag AT {A/3}
Koutetsu Damage = 12 * Mag AT {A/3}
Bizen Boat Damage to MP = 4 * Mag AT {A/3}
Murasame Healing = 12 * Mag AT {A/3}
Heaven's Cloud Damage = 14 * Mag AT, may cause Slow {A/3}
Muramasa Damage = 18 * Mag AT, may cause Confuse/Death Sentence
{A/3}
Kikuichimoji Damage = 16 * Mag AT {4dir/8}
Masamune Add: Regen and Haste {A/3}
Chirijiraden Damage = 30 * Mag AT {A/3}

ZODIAC: let 'n' be the constant that is multiplied by Mag AT in the
Draw Out equation. So,
Good compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT

___________
[5.2] throw
=====

'Throw' damage is calculated by:

Damage = (Speed * [PA / 20]) * (Thrown Weapon's Power)

'Speed' is the thrower's speed, and 'Weapon's Power' is the power of the
thrown weapon (press 'select' on a weapon's name to find out its power).
'PA' is the thrower's physical AT.

ZODIAC: let 'n' be (Speed * [PA / 20]):
Good compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Weapon Power
Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Weapon Power
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Weapon Power
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Weapon Power

_______________
[5.3] punch art
=========

Spin Fist Damage = PA * [PA / 2]
Repeating Fist Expected Damage = PA * 7.5
Wave Fist Damage = PA * ([PA / 2] + 1)
Earth Slash Damage = PA * [PA / 2] {earth}
Secret Fist Success% = MA + 50
Chakra Recovery = (5 * PA) HP; [5 * PA / 2] MP
Revive Success% = PA + 70

ZODIAC: For success% of Secret Fist and Revive, simply multiply the
percentage by the appropriate Zodiac Multiplier (see [1.2]). For
the techniques based on physical attack, let 'n' be the part of the
equation by which PA is multiplied:
Good compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT

If the user of Punch Art has the 'Martial Arts' ability (i.e.,
Monk, Archaic Demon, Ultima Demon, Apanda, Byblos, or anyone
with Martial Arts equipped as a support ability), then there
are bonuses, as follow:

Spin Fist Damage = Normal Damage * 1.5
Repeating Fist Expected Damage = Normal Expected Damage * 1.25
Wave Fist Damage = Normal Damage * 1.25
Earth Slash Damage = Normal Damage * 1.5
Secret Fist Chance = Normal Chance + [MA / 2]%
Chakra Recovery = Normal Recovery * 1.5
Revive Chance = Normal Chance + [PA / 2]%

___________
[5.4] steal
=====

Success % = (K + Stealer's Speed) * [Evasion Factor]

- K is a number that varies for the different 'Steal' commands:

command K value
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Steal Helmet 40
Steal Armor 35
Steal Shield 35
Steal Weapon 30
Steal Accessory 40
Steal Exp. 70
Gil Taking 90

'Steal Heart' uses a different scheme:

command success%
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steal Heart (Stealer's MA + 50) * [Evasion Factor]

calculating 'evasion factor'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evasion for steal depends on two factors: (1) the target's physical S-
EV,
(2) the position where the thief is relative to the target.

1. Convert physical S-EV percentage to a decimal (e.g., 24% = 0.24).
2. If the thief is directly behind the target, then evasion factor = 1.
If the thief is to the left or the right of the target, then evasion
factor = (1.00 - S.EV)
If the thief is facing the target, then evasion factor =
(1.00 - S.EV) * 5/6

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appropriate Zodiac
Multiplier.

__________________
[5.5] battle skill
============

Success % = (Caster's PA + K) * [Evasion Factor]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Head Break 59
Armor Break 54
Shield Break 60
Weapon Break 44
Magic Break 50
Speed Break 50
Power Break 50
Mind Break 50

Calculating 'Evasion Factor'
Evasion for Battle Skill depends on two factors: (1) the target's
physical
S-EV, (2) the position where the caster is relative to the target.

1. Convert physical S-EV percentage to a decimal (e.g., 24% = 0.24).
2. If the caster is directly behind the target, then evasion factor = 1.
If the caster is to the left or the right of the target, then evasion
factor = (1.00 - S.EV)
If the caster is facing the target, then evasion factor =
(1.00 - S.EV) * 5/6

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appropriate Zodiac
Multiplier.

________________
[5.6] talk skill
==========

Success % = Caster's MA + K * [Evasion factor]
- K is a number that varies for the different 'Talk Skill' commands:

command K value
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
Invitation 20
Persuade 30
Preach 50
Threaten 70
Praise 50
Solution 70
Death Sentence 30
Negotiate 60
Insult 40
Mimic Daravon 40

Calculating 'Evasion Factor'
1. Convert the target's A-EV and S-EV to decimals (50% = .50).
2. Subtract the target's magical S-EV from 1.00. Call this 'A'
3. Subtract the target's magical A-EV from 1.00. Call this 'B'
4. Evasion factor = [A * B]

ZODIAC: Multiply the resulting percentage by the appopriate Zodiac
Multiplier.

Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT

______________
[5.8] geomancy
========

Damage from Geomancy is equal to:

([PA / 2] + 1) * MA

This is the equation for all Elemental abilities. However, damage
may be modified by the specific elemental properties of the spell
if the target is weak / strong against certain elements (see [1.6]).

ZODIAC: let 'n' = ([PA /2] + 1):
Good compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT

___________
[5.9] truth
=====

The Heaven Knight's 'Truth' spells are dependent on only the magic
AT of the caster. All Truth spells have a range/effect of {4/2}
and will fire a random number of times at random squares in the
affected region.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heaven Thunder Damage: ([MA/2] + 4) * MA (Lightning)
Asura Damage: ([MA/2] + 5) * MA (Fire)
Diamond Sword Damage: ([MA/2] + 5) * MA (Wind)
Hydragon Pit Damage: ([MA/2] + 6) * MA (Water)
Space Storage Damage: ([MA/2] + 3) * MA (add: numerous ailments)
Sky Demon Damage: ([MA/2] +10) * MA (Earth)

ZODIAC: let 'n' = everything in the equation that is multiplied by MA
Good compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/4]) * Mag AT
Bad compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/4]) * Mag AT
Best compatibility: Damage = (n + [n/2]) * Mag AT
Worst compatibility: Damage = (n - [n/2]) * Mag AT

_______________
[5.10] un-truth
========

The Hell Knight's 'Un-truth' attacks are very odd in that they
use a sort of 'backward version' of the normal, faith-based
magic formula. The formula for Un-truth damage is:

(100 - CFa) * (100 - TFa) * MA * K
Damage = ---------------------------------- [always round down]
10000

where, CFa is the caster's Faith
TFa is the target's Faith
MA is the caster's Magic AT
K is a constant multiplier dependent on the spell being cast
(see the table below for values of K).

-- meaning, Un-truth does more damage when the caster and/or the
target of the spell have low Faith.

The range and effect of all Un-truth spells is the same as that of
their 'Truth' counterparts: {4/2}, hitting a random number of times
on random squares of the affected area.

Zodiac compatibility for monster skills work like all other skills.
In general:
Good compatibility: damage or chance * 1.25
Bad compatibility: damage or chance * 0.75
Best compatibility: damage or chance * 1.50
Worst compatibility: damage or chance * 0.50

(there might be slight discrepancies due to rounding -- if you want
to find _exactly_ how the Zodiac is figured for a given attack, look
in the first sections of the FAQ at attacks with a similar formula.
However, the simple multiplication by 1.25, 0.75, 1.50, or 0.50 will
give you a close enough number that it's not worth listing the way
that the Zodiac is done for every single attack.)
