Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Cheats
for Game Boy Advance

Hint: Recruit Quin

To get Quin to join your clan, complete the "Missing Professor" mission. After the battle, Quin may ask to join your clan. Be sure you have room in your clan for Quin or you will miss the opportunity.

Hint: Blue Mage/Beastmaster

Have you ever had trouble with getting your Blue Mages to learn healing monster abilities, or any ability at all? Nu Mou starts out with a job called Beastmaster, which allows the user to control certain creatures. This way, you can have the chosen monster use the ability on your Blue Mage. This only works with some abilities and make sure that when you want to learn the abilities, you have the Blue Mage Support ability “learning” taught by the weapon Blue Saber equipped; otherwise you'll just get hurt. When trying to learn the ability “Roulette” taught by Floateyes and Ahrimans, have the Angel Ring or some other form of Auto-Life on; the only way to get Blue Mage abilities is by staying awake and alive!

Hint: Extra Experience

If you ever run into a gel-type creature called a flan and need a little exp, here is a tip. First kill off every other enemy on the field, and then surround the flan with your people. Use regular attacks on it, which will only do 1 damage, and if the enemy is of sufficient level, you'll gain a few levels while slowly killing it.

Hint: Become Harder to Kill

If you want to become harder to kill, master Damage>MP, change to a job that doesn't need MP, and master Double Sword (humans only).

Hint: Getting Ribbons

Put 4 different towns around in a circle, so that they will surround a blank space in the middle. Then, put a Jagd in the middle. The treasure hunt at the Jagd will result in a Ribbon. (Ribbons can only be worn by Viera. They nullify ALL status ailments, including Doom.)

Hint: More Effective Treasure Hunts

The most effective Treasure Hunts are performed like this:

• Best: Two of the same type of symbols (e.g. two forests) at the top of the circle and two of the same type of symbols (e.g. two mountains) placed on the bottom part of the circle on the world map, with another symbol in the middle (as the final symbol placed).
  
• 2nd Best: Four symbols in a circle with another placed in the middle (as the final symbol placed).
  
• 3rd best: Three symbols in a circle with another placed in the middle (as the final symbol placed)
  

Hint: Hunter's Ultima Weapon

During the mission "over the hill" when you fight against Ritz and her clan, use a thief with the steal weapon ability to steal Shara's weapon, called SeventhHeaven. Equip it to a Hunter and it will learn Ultima Shot

Hint: Get Lots of Experience Points Early On

During Mission One, send all of your party members except Marche to the right to defeat the short enemies. Send Marche forward so he is in front of the sprite (the fairy-like creature). The sprite will do about 5 damage to Marche every turn. Marche can heal himself 7 points each turn, and he gets 10 EXP each time he does it. Keep having Marche heal himself over and over, and this way you can get him to a high level very early in the game. You can also have your other characters attack Marche, and they will gain a lot of EXP because Marche is at a much higher level than they are.

Unlockable: Secret Characters

Beat the game once and fulfill the following conditions, and the secret characters will offer to join you if you have space:

• Shara - Clear "A Maiden's Cry" and enter a town.
  
• Ritz - Clear "Mortal Snow".
  
• Ezel - Choose "Gossip" at his shop, and then clear "Reconciliation".
  
• Babus - Clear "Left Behind" and enter a town to enter "With Babus" mission. Clear it to get Babus.
  
• Cid - Clear all 300 numbered missions. (Top secret missions do not count.)
  

Unlockable: Expert Missions

To unlock Expert Missions, beat the game once and save. When you start again, you will have a star next to your name.

Unlockable: Semi-Secret Characters

Semi-secret characters become available by completing a mission with different mission items. The secret characters might join your after the battle.

• Cheney: Complete a mission with Snake Shield as a mission item.
  
• Eldena: Complete a mission with Elda's Cup as a mission item.

Cheat: Copy Items

Here is a way to copy items/characters. All you need are 2 Final Fatasy Tactics Adavance cartridges, 2 GBA/SP units, and 1 connecting cable.



First, make sure that both of the games have at least 5000 gill so you may make trades with them.



Next, save Final Fantasy Tactics Advance data on both save slots on the cartridges.



Then, trade the item/character you want duplicated from the second save slot of the first cartridge to the second GBA/SP.



Finally, trade the copied item/character from the second cartridge to the first save slot of the first cartridge. Now that slot will have two copies of the item/character.
