Update:

Actually, the time saved might not be worth it, considering the switching cost of jobs and equipment between priest and black mage.

Hi guys,

Just replayed this game after a long, long time, and was following http://speeddemosarchive.com/FinalFantasyTactics.html guide in trying to speedrun this game. Accidentally found this, so just wanna leave it here for others to try.

For this battle, I could end it in one turn, not sure if luck. Ramza specs: Level 20 Mage, Math, MP Switch, MA Up Equips: Flame rod, triangle hat, wizard robe

Situation: Queklain had higher speed than me, so first turn move + nightmare. My turn, height prime Flare, dealt 383 damage, one hit KO.

Might save up a turn's worth of time. Try it out and let me know!
