With such a great predecessor what in the world happened with this game
From that little sentence above you can probably tell I am not completely impressed with this game. When I played the original Final Fantasy Tactics on my PS1 all those years ago, I was an instant lover of this new type of gameplay. Unfortunately with Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced I am filled with nothing, but sorrow. I am not saying this is the worst game ever made or anything, but in my opinion it is defiantly a scar in the final fantasy family name.
I have always considered the final fantasy games to be a definition of greatness, with great story telling and interesting gameplay Final fantasy was un-beatable. Unfortunately Final Fantasy Tactics has nothing special to offer. I have tried to play as much of the game as possible, But the story line is just to horrible to withstand. It is like the boy’s at Square Enix ran out of story ideas so they just made it up as they went along. I have slugged through fifteen hours of this game and have now totally given up. Nothing is happening in this game, or at least nothing interesting. Which wouldn’t be entirely horrible, but the gameplay is just as bad as the story. All I seem to do in a battle is walk and attack. Which in away is the name of the game, but there isn’t really a hint of challenge to it. Most of the time I just charge in there attack one guy then move onto the next, not giving a second thought to my move. I would like to believe that I am just an incredible gamer and that is why it is so easy, but in this case I don’t think that is true.
As far as the graphics and audio go they are both up to par, but once again with out a good gameplay they are just lost on me. It may be that I am just being fussy here, but for anyone un-sure about this game you might want to reconsider trying it.
