A few months ago, when I started playing FFTactics again, I experienced a weird yet pretty damn cool glitch that has baffled me to this day. Here's how it went:

Starting a new game, I renamed Ramza as Sparda (being a DMC nut at the time) and went through the usual set up screen and what not, when, to my surprise, a priest-looking figure (which was in fact a chracter in the game itself, forgot who it was tho) replaced Ramza's sprite. So, as I entered the first battle, I found that his stats were already at 999/999 which would've been a huge advantage at the beginning of the game, but there was one major drawback- all the damn guy could do was "Throw Stone". That's it. However, it did do some decent damage at the time.

When going to his stats from the map menu, I found that the game froze everytime I tried to switch his job or learn a new ability; realizing that he was forever stuck with Throw Stone. Anyway, this went on for another 15 hours into the game when finally, my game data became corrupted.

So, has anyone here expereinced a similar or worse glitch? I was truly awed at how it had happen (and no, it's not the name- tried again a few times to no avail) and had not previously messed up the game with any codes from GameShark or other cheating devices. Thoughts?
