Right now I don't feel like write a funny intro, I'm TenzaZangetsu.

Flashback (the death of Barbaneth Beoulve)

The moment you go to next place you will have a scene. We now are in a Flashback inside a Flashback (this things are weird), we now are in a room in the last days of Barbaneth Beoulve, one of the man who help finish the Fifty Years' War, the little girl that is crying is Alma Beoulve, Ramza's little sister who don't want see her father dead. His father tries to act tough and no let Alma cry, the two other guys in the room are Zalbaag Beoulve, commander of the Order of the Northern Sky (he is the force of the Order) and Dycedarg Beoulve, the leader of the Order of the Northern Sky (he is the brain of the Order) are Ramza's older brothers.

Zalbaag and Dycedarg inform the Duke about the end of the Fifty Years' War, he seems very happy about that, then Ramza comes in to say goodbye to his father in his last moments of life, then Barbaneth tells him that he make Delita in the Akademy, he was very pleased about that, the old man say his last words to his son and he die old in bed (a reference about what Ramza says about the Corpse Brigade in our last battle), after that, the Flashback end.

Now you can go to next place, in this place is going to happen a storyline battle right now, actually, every time you see a place in red, a storyline battle will appear.

Battle

Mandalia-battlefield

  • Battle number 3: Argath (A.K.A. the bastard)'s Rescue.
  • Location: Mandalia Plains.
  • Recommended Level:Level 2.
  • Enemies:FFT-job-thiefMx 1, FFT-job-squireMx 4, FFT-enemy-RedPantherx 1.
  • Allies: FFT-Algus The bastard FFT-Delita Delita.
  • Battlefield:Grass, Wind and Stone.
  • Objective: Protect the bastard or defeat all enemies.
  • Strategy:

We found ourself with soldiers of the Corpse Brigade that are punching a guy over there, we know have two choices: Save the guy or defeat all enemies. Because i don't give a rat's ass for this bastard, we will defeat all enemies (if you win the battle with this choice, your units will win ten points in Bravery, so it's a better idea choose this objective).

Your party can be form the way you want but you must have at least one Chemist in battle because the enemy doesn't have a healer so you will have the advantage in the battle, Delita will focus on protect the bastard, that is a easy job for him because he is a Chemist if you choose protect him, if he dies, it's game over so it's better just kill all enemies. The bastard is quite strong thanks to his weapon, the Long Sword, so at least he can dealt some damage by himself.

The enemy has a new unit that you haven't see until now, the Thief, this one is not very dangerous but he can use "Steal Heart" to your female units, so don't bring any female unit to this battle. You also see in this battle, the first monster of the game, Panther, this monster only has two attacks, one regular attack and a attack that doesn't cause damage but gives the poison status to your enemies, he also (like all the monsters in the game), has Counter as a innate ability, every time you attack him, he will counter with a attack just as strong as his regular attacks, kill Pantera quick with Ramza and a backup Squire.

About the enemy's Squires, take care of them with the bastards's attacks and your physical attackers, your Chemist's Potions and Ramza's Chant should fill the healing position. Try give Delita a few turns so he can get EXP and JP.

After Battle

Ramza and Delita start chating with the bastard, they talk about many things until the bastard says that he is one of the soldiers of the Marquis Messam Elmdore and that the marquis was kidnapping by the Corpse Brigade, after that we most go to the Eagrose Castle, to inform Dycedarg about that, the bastard joins the party as a guest so it's time for another character box:

Ally Character: The bastard...I mean Argath Thadalfus
Algus
Sprite:FFT-Algus
Zodiac Sign: Virgo.
Special Job: Improved Squire.
Weapons: Knives, Swords and Hammers.
Command Ability: Fundaments.

Argath Thadalfus (in this walktrough will be known as the bastard): Is one of the few characters in Final Fantasy that I actually hate. Really, you might not see it yet but will start see how stupid and annoying this dude is, his personality is stupid and he has a arrogance that he doesn't deserve (I'm the only one with delusions of grandeur around here), I hate him when I was a kid and I still hate him.

The bastard's special job class is again a improved Squire, believe it or not, I cannot think in a use for the bastard, wait, I got it!, make him a knight, when he learns "Rend Weapon" or "Rend Armor", turn him into a Archer, that way he would destroy the equipment and weapons of your enemies and it's doing that from long distance because you can't train him and he is weaker than Delita or our hero Ramza.

Remember back in the character box of Ramza, that I tell you that you will learn to love Ramza?, well, you will learn to hate Argath, I mean... the bastard, sorry.
