I was screaming and swearing at Final Fantasy Tactics this morning... after leveling up for a while so that the rest of my team wasn't five levels behind the main character (whose level sets the level of all the enemies), I decided it was time to do another story battle. BIG MISTAKE. The next story battle was 'protect random dumbass', who's up on a rooftop surrounded by enemies.
He goes first, and runs to the far edge of the roof and hides behind a pillar, so that I can't even target him. All the enemies surround him and drop him to 2 hp. But wait! ONE of my guys can get close enough to use black magic (which ignores LOS) on him, and if I use the really *powerful* spell it'll take long enough that he'll get a turn and can run out of the area (he wasn't *totally* surrounded), so it'll blast the enemies around him and leave him alive. I mean, I'll still probably lose because he's at 2 hp and out of range of healing, but...
But no. He decides to camp out right there in the blast radius, and takes 182 damage out of his remaining 2 hp. GAME OVER.
I guess if I get a *white* mage (or preferably three white mages) in position to heal him, I might be able to actually win this on the second try, but battles you can't win without seeing how they're set up to make any reasonable team fail the first time really piss me off.
