Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP): Mastering the Game Without Cheats

No official cheat codes exist. The PSP port (War of the Lions) removed the Gameshark/Action Replay support present on the PS1 original. Using CWCheat plugins on CFW risks save corruption and breaks the meticulously balanced tactical design.

Master the Systems Instead

1. Job System Mastery (The Core Loop)

• JP Farming: "Accumulate" (Squire) + "Focus" (Archer) + "JP Boost" (Scholar) on all units. Fight random battles at Mandalia Plains or Bervenia Volcano.
• Key Unlocks: Ninja (Dual Wield), Calculator (Math Skill), Orlandeau (Holy Sword), Cloud (Soldier/limit breaks).
• Sub-job Synergy: Equip Dual Wield (Ninja) + Two Swords (Samurai) + Attack UP (Lancer) on physical DPS.

2. Movement & Positioning

• Height Advantage: +1 Range / +20% Hit / +Damage from above.
• Zodiac Compatibility: Best (100%) → Same sign; Worst (0%) → Opposite sign. Check before hiring.
• Faith/Brave: High Faith = Magic Power/Received; Low Brave = Reaction Trigger Rate. Tailor per role.

3. Exploit Mechanics (Legit)

• JP Scroll Glitch (Patched in WotL): Not in PSP version.
• Chocobo Breeding: Catch in battle (Monster Skill) → Breed for Black/Red/Gold Chocobos (flight, meteor).
• Steal / Poach: Thief + Secret Hunt → Rare gear (Genji, Materia Blade).

4. Content to Experience

• Deep Dungeon (Midlight's Deep): 10 floors, best gear, Elidibis fight.
• Multiplayer (Ad-Hoc / Online via PPSSPP): Co-op / Versus missions.
• New Translation: WotL script is vastly superior to PS1 original.

The satisfaction of Tactics is solving the puzzle—cheats rob the "Aha!" moment.
