My favorite game to date!

User Rating: 9.5 | Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoire DS
From the second you start up this game, you're drawn into Ivalice alongside your character. The story begins with Luso(You can name him yourself, this is just his default name) getting ready to start summer vacation, when his teacher punishes him for being late to class, sending him to help clean up the library while other students get out at regular time.

Luso travels to the library and finds no one there. He looks around and spots a book that catches his eye. Mysteriously, half of the book is left blank. He writes his name in the book, and is sucked into the world of Ivalice.

FFTA2 instantly became my favorite game. The gameplay is pretty basic and easy to understand. One factor that sets this game apart is the law system. There a series of rules that vary depending on the quest, that you can obey (You don't have to obey it) to gain extra prizes. This proves to be frustrating at this times, but if you can work your around it, you will get rewarded.

As in the previous FFTA game on the GBA, they include the same races, but FFTA2 has added two new races, giving you more variety and more skills to play around with. Also giving you more variety is the hundreds of side-quests to do while you advance the story.

One frustrating thing is the Bazaar. Basically, when you kill monsters, you get "Loot" which is an item dropped by the monster. By sending Loot to the Bazaar, you are rewarded with different types of armors and weapons, depending on what you send in. Since the items dropped by monsters are completely random, it proves troublesome to obtain a few of the armors and weapons.

Overall this is my favorite game I've ever played. It's highly addicting, offers a lot of variety, and it easy to learn the tips and tricks to excel. I highly recommend it.
