  • Party Roster Expansion

    • Guest characters are now deployable in battle. Take caution, as this may cause duplicate Guest characters depending on the mission.
    • All units, including Guests, are dismissible. Take caution and save often. This shouldn’t interfere with the mission progression of specific units.
  • Party Roster Reordering
    • Reorder your party roster numbering using the L/R buttons.
    • This excludes Ramza for Campaign playthrough reasons.

    • You can now customize your team’s generic unit sprite color during battle.
    • This change does not impact unique characters.

  • Ability Quotes (re-enabled)
    • Uses the official ability quotes from Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles.
    • All units have a 35% chance when casting an ability to briefly message prompt a quote prior to casting it. The message prompt is fairly quick to keep it from being invasive but to also add a bit of “flavor” in mid-battle
    • Invisible, chicken, or toad-status units cannot quote
    • Some generic abilities, such as Steal and Speechcraft, do not have quotes set.
    • To turn off quotes, go to Options and set Ability Names and Quotes = OFF.
    • Quotes can trigger for each client in Melee mode, but trigger for both simultaneously in Rendezvous.
  • Warriors’ Guild
    • Players may now change the name of either any unique or generic characters (max. 14 chars). Please refrain from using inappropriate names.

    • Removed the “Communicating…” UI from Melee mode.
