Your Thoughts: Final Fantasy Tactics.

Time to share your thoughts about this PSX´s Final Fantasy Tactics classic :D!.

But since I havent played this game too much :?.. I can only say.

Pros: An innovative and funny gameplay, a great new world: Ivalice, good OST, Cloud :P

Cons:  Tons of Rules, characters and strateies makes the game probably only for hardcore gamers. 

Pros: Great job system, excellent story(the best on the PS1 IMO), the combat system is very fun and addicting, and Ramza and Delita are awesome.

Cons: Wiegraf battle in chapter 3 is way too ridiculous unless you spam buffs like crazy, getting the Dark Knight class takes forever(though I still did it with my main 5 characters).

i have only played the remake for the psp(and the ones in GBA and NDS but that doesnt matter right now lol)...it is awesome!!!

 pros:

-the jobtree is fantastic...even with only one race(humans) there is so much variety;

-lots of itens, lots of skill, lots of costumization per se;

-awesome story with tons of archaic english terms witch makes the story look even more medieval! perfect for the war scene in the game;

-oh.. and i know that the cut scenes are diferente from de psp and psx versions... but i've seen both.. and, although i like the psp ones the most the psx are quite awesome too!

 cons:

-if a caracter gets killed and "cristalizes".. you lose that caracter...but let's face it, that reality...although, we dont ever want videogames to approach reality that much;

-and as it was mentioned before... the fact that it's a lil hard to learn how to play...witch makes the game almost only for the hardcore gamer...

but i am one... so i love Final Fantasy tactics (the entire collection!!)

Final Fantasy Tactics was truly amazing. The music done by Sakimoto and Iwata was infectious (Ramza's theme is still one of my favorites.) The graphics featured charming sprites, and the summons were compared to the graphics of FFVII's summons (which were state of the art back in the day.) The story was a new departure of the series, focusing on political intrigue instead of just a hero saving the world from a great evil, a trait that was passed to the Ivalice of Final Fantasy XII.

The battle system was addicting, especially when you unlocked some of the more interesting jobs. The Job system itself was pretty in depth, at least in those days, requiring points obtained from actions in battle rather than a set amount at battle's end. The classes themselves might not have the flair that the Advance versions have, but they were pretty cool back then. The story never stalled or got boring; rather, it made you just get one more mission in before you put the controller down. 

It did have a few downsides, of course. The translation was pretty rough in many places. There were some broken combat solutions as well...basically keep T.G. Cid in your party and nothing could stop you. That, or a party member as the Calculator class. The difficulty could be unbalanced at times, going from an extremely easy battle to a very hard boss was typical, and having to spend a few hours to grind XPto attempt the encounter again was common.

All in all, it provided an awesome experience and spawned a legacy of Ivalice and Strat-RPG's. Here's hoping for a massive, meaty FFT for the PS3.
