Tactical discussions of Ivalice Chronicles. Lover of the old FFT, but the new game has been rebalanced. How are we all adapting? I just started the game and have just rescued the Marquis.
My old go to strategy was to teach every character teleport, which was a time mage skill for only about 600 jp. In the new one it costs 3000 jp. Talk about inflation. Now I'm stuck wondering if it's still worth it. Have any good surface based strategies you like? I'm tempted to just calculate everything, but I'm also worried they may have been rebalanced too.

I never bothered with teleport nor calculator. Calculator just bores me. I prefer the tried and true strategy of dual-wielding with +3 movement to sprint around and slaughter everything fast. It still works perfectly. I barely used magic either, it's not really necessary. Early game is can help you out but later it's fun to just run up and slash everything to bits then be able to sprint away. Nothing beats auto-potion with X-potions on everybody still, most other skills tend not to be worth it.If they had Dark Knight I'd be spamming that across 4 characters with one dedicated to healing (maybe) or some type of magic depending on the level. Also having fundaments as the secondary skill is still the best because half the time you don't engage enemies for a few turns so you just use focus over and over to get insanely strong, while Ramza uses tailwind/yell to speed himself then other members up. You start getting at least 1.5 turns before you engage enemies and you can always keep away with +3 movement if you want to continually beef your team up (if you even need it) before interacting and killing everything.I love the game but the meta is so simple and easy.

Construct 8's voice is so pure. She is my waifu.Teleport's vertical height nerf and JP cost is fine. Now you have a reason to use ignore height, Jump + 3, and Fly.Can someone check if jump stat is still capped at 7?

Damage Split or HP Restore is great with anything that increases HP or reduces damage.Equip Armor on Monk, a Robe of Lords on a heavy armor user, or anything which halves elements are some synergies.Usually I went:
* Squire - Gained JP Up, Accumulate, Move + 1, maybe throw stone, heal, and dash for early game or waking sleeping or confused allies.
* Chemist - Potion, High Potion, Phoenix Down, Safeguard & Move Find Item before chapter 4.
* Knight - stat breaks, maybe parry until you get something better, equip armor, equip shield.* Priest - Regenerator, Cure, Cure 2, Raise, Esuna, Protect
* Wizard - level 1 spells, bolt/ice 2 for weather & some monsters like squids & goblins, flare, frog for grinds, Magic Attack Up can be great with steal heart & all other spells.
* Monk - chakra, revive, stigma magic, wave fist, earth slash, HP restore reaction.
* Thief - All Steals, Move + 2, Poach.
* Oracle - Chicken, sleep, confuse, don't act, blind is game breaking with a cape & abandon as it doubles all evasions.Once you have HP restore, chakra, revive, & and a priest you are invincible if cautious. You can have everyone surround the monk on even terrain & chakra/accumulate to JP grinding after you kill all but 1 enemy. You then drop that enemy's brave to 10, break speed and attack stats so their damage is minor, then grind away.Spillover JP will let everyone get a few goodies from each job. Your work is done once you get this set up.Jump + 3 let's you jump across gaps easily, but iirc jump was capped at 7. If it's higher here let me know.
