Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Rutabeggar · 03-26-2008, 12:54 AM

An amazing remake on the classic turn based RPG Final Fantasy Tactics. It's absolutely amazingly done, made my PSP worth buying. For those who may have played the original, buying a PSP for this game alone is worth it. The artwork and story is great, one of the better stories within a game that there is. Anyway, check out this trailer(May contain spoilers!!!)

I wish it came out for the DS. The original FFT was one of my favorite games, but the FFT: Advance games were completely unplayable for me; couldn't stand em.

Yea...FFT: Advanced was crap...

Since I bought it yesterday i've logged 12 hours of gameplay and am barely out of the first chapter.

The intro song made me want to buy a PSP. *cries* how i miss that masterpiece of a game.

Are all the cutscenes (if you can call them that) from the original game rendered beautifully like that? I still have the original, and loved the shit out of that game.

If the above is true, I might have to get a psp for this game :P

They are cut scenes and i want them cutscenes.

Rutabeggar · 03-27-2008, 05:54 AM

Yea, all the cut scenes are redone like that...as well as some of the translations so you can understand the story better. The voice overs were odd at first, but I got used to them and loved them. This is probably one of the greatest remakes I have ever played.

The game suffered a bit in the translation: the graphics are a tad blurrier in the move to widescreen, there is a bit more lag in some of the fancier graphical effects, and some of the sound effects (for spells, mainly) sound just terrible.

Still, the cool cutscenes and the absolutely terrific re-translation (localization) make buying it 100% worth it, even if you have played through the original.

Definitely better than FFT:A, even though I rather liked FFT:A.

I think the new translation gives a little more information that you didn't get in the first game

I'm not sold

. I've played FFT to death... very literally to the point that it's simply not fun anymore. I mean, when you've done pretty much every challenge that exists for a game like that... you'd be bored with it as well.

I also don't have a PSP

I liked the older turn based FF games...the new autopilot combat system hasn't impressed me at all.
