History Awesome / FinalFantasyTactics

* In the end Ramza defeats the Lucavi and the rescues Ivalice and his sister Alma. Despite the nature of the CrapsackWorld, despite being branded a heretic, despite the more cynical characters mocking him, Ramza sticks true to his ideals through his ordeals and brings about a better future. If that's not awesome, nothing is.

* Delita's [[ManipulativeBastard playing of the entire kingdom of Ivalice like a fiddle]] also deserves mention. From a lowborn who happened to be friends with Ramza, to a Rune Knight fighting in the War of the Lions, to the frickin' ''King of Ivalice''. [[WasItReallyWorthIt Worth the trouble?]] Maybe not. Awesome? Nonetheless.

** For added defensives, drop their Faith scores as low as you have the patience for, thus reducing the damage that magic can do to them; the minimum Faith score is three, which will cause magic to have an absolutely piteous effect (or, alternatively, have a Mystic in your team to apply Aetheist, which gives them an effective score of zero and lets them NoSell it).
* For storyline awesomeness, Ramza's [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu fencing his way through the heierarchy of Lucavi]] decidedly counts. Even better, most if not all of the demons in question [[UnderestimatingBadassery thought they could deal with Ramza in short order]], giving them a nasty surprise when he proceeds to ruin them all.

* Some ability combinations can be downright brutal. Take a [[BareFistedMonk Monk]], and raise their Brave and Strength scores, so that their single hits deal obscene damage. Then give them the Ninja's Dual Wield ability, that lets them attack twice (or, alternatively, apply the Monk's Brawler to a Ninja). Obscene damage x2. Now give the Monk the Archer's Aim ability as a sub, and use the CT counter figure out the highest Aim attack you can use on the opponent in front of you before their own turn goes off. The charge attack will not only ramp that already obscene damage, but it will apply to BOTH PUNCHES. This combination can allow a Monk to take out some of the most dangerous creatures in the game in a single turn.

* Some of the job classes in the game are undoubtedly awesome. BlackMage who can [[PlayingWithFire create and manipulate fire to burn enemies]]? [[AnIcePerson Hit them with giant blocks of ice]]? [[ShockAndAwe Attack them with shocks of lightning]]? [[FireIceLightning Check]]. Add to the equation a spell to [[OneHitKill cause instant death]], another to [[BalefulPolymorph turn enemies into toads]] and his [[LastDiscMagic ultimate spell]] that is a [[KillItWithFire fire implosion resulting from using black magic to turn the enemy's energy into heat]].
