Well, we all knew it was coming, but it's official, we have an FFTactics Remaster for modern systems.
I am curious if it will be as robust as the Tactics Ogre Reborn in terms of gameplay balancing.

I've always put off picking this game back up again so I'm really happy about this, as I think it might just nudge me into finally playing the entire thing.
I wonder if they'll do similar for TA etc. if this does well?
Also: Voice acting! Yay. And wait... Cloud and 'Flower Girl'? Do they absolutely have to be in every game? I mean I adore FF7 to bits but putting them in from the start, not even as DLC or a pre-order bonus or whatever, is a little much and it kind of feels like a disservice to FFT? Just me? I'm sure it'll be fun and fine when I actually play it and seen them there, though, let's face it.
Hopefully, but I'm not really betting on it. I've noticed that the Tactics Advance series always seems to get snubbed in recent SE projects. Like the TheaterRythym series that pulls tracks from non-FF games and side music projects and other obscure FF related series, but has never once done a track from either TA title.Quote:

FFTactics technically references the first seven FF games throughout its lore with several locations and even some figures, having their own equivalent in the Ivalice universe. Though Cloud in this case is directly the Cloud from VII, you'll have to play the game yourself to see why. The real question here is whether they'll include Balthier and Luso from the WotL version, but seeing how it seems like they're using that entry as the basis, it's plausible but the Job tree seen in the trailer is also missing the Dark Knight and Onion Knight classes that version brought in, so I could see this being similar to a PR situation where they are trying to keep it closer to the original.Quote:

Well sorry to spoil, but yeah, he was always there. Though the Flower Girl only looks like Aerith and has no name given in the plot. Interestingly, one of the villains, Marquis Elmdore is a dead ringer for Sephiroth in his design and even uses the Masemune as his weapon.
Ah, the voice actors spoiled that for me, you just let me know it was in the OG too, no worries. Still looking forward to this, even if I might wait for a discount :)
You know, if they are going to go in an rework the gameplay a bit like they did with Tactics Ogre Reborn, Cloud is a perfect example of someone who really needs to be reworked. Hell just simple things like making his limit breaks insta-cast or letting them target an enemy and not just squares would make him a much better character. The twins would be another set of characters that need to be retooled.
Other than that, I'm hoping they rebalance the class system a bit. Archers and Dragoons could both use some retooling.
