Read my post in the "Would you go home" thread and say that again... ;)Quote:

Azoth, Stillness, Abate, Judge Sword, Bind, Yellow Clip, etc... Those aren't enough for you? The law system is annoying, but I actually wound up liking both it and the Jagds. It gives an explanation for why people don't die, and makes you think things through more.
I hope that there is an FFTA-2... (and I really do need to play FFT sometime)
An answer to the question that spawned this thread. Yes. Its not as bad as X-2 but its more of a disgrace to its predecessor (I never liked X to begin with). I am a diehard Tactics fan and that makes it hurt even more. Gone is the deep story, akin to an ancient war epic, now we have a shallow childish narrative best suited for a second rate Disney tv movie then as a sucessor for the saga of the Zodiac braves. The class system is a whole lot of general mishmash and the ability system which worked fine in IX is terribly misused.
for me, this game was one of those games where i loved it and beat it incredibly fast when i got it, and now i cant get into it. i still like it, i just cant play it anymore. that also happened with castlevania:circle of the moon.
and FFT was better. :tongue:
1 mission?...give it more time!Quote:

If you SERIOUSLY did that, the person you sold it to has more brains than you ever will (Yes, I'm blatently insulting you!) and if you go through life making those kind of snap judgements, I'd LOVE to see how many successful jobs and relationships you have. Any rebuttal you may feel neccessary is moot because you wrote that you ditched a game after playing it for only 1% of its entirety.
Now, for my thoughts on the game. Comparing it to FFT, yeah its not that great. But this is NOT a sequel to FFT, its another game created with FFT's idea, much like All FFs arent sequels (Except FFX-2) to eachother. In its own light it shines bright. I personally have no problem with it except the weak story, but the Tactical Battling makes up for it. I also like the diversity of Jobs and the various races make developing somewhat bland characters more interesting. In FFT any squire can turn out like any other squire, but A Viera will always be much different than a Mog, Human, Bangaa and Nuu (I think thats the dog-ish creatures name)
Good game and if you haven't played the original FFT, and liked this one, play FFT. If you live in an area where FFT wasn't released, I feel bad for you. FFT is a gem.
I haven't played the original Final Fantasy Tactics, and would like to, so I won't be saying that Tactics Advance is better. What I WILL say, however, is that it's extremely fun. The battles, classes, and sheer amount of customization that's available will provide dozens of hours of gameplay. If you like strategy games, you could play this forever. Yes, the story is pretty much crap, but the game is great for just picking up and playing for a few hours.
(Actually, since there are well over 300 missions, it is less than 0.3% of its entirety...)Quote:

Sure, I may be reading too much into it, but the plot is there. Having to dig to find it doesn't mean it has a shallow plot (in fact, having to dig to get the truth of the plot would imply a deep plot anyway... :shifty: ). Now, I have not played FFT, :cry: so I am judging FFTA on its own merits, but since this isn't a sequel to FFT, that shouldn't matter.
Oh, and the races are Human, Bangaa, Moogle, Viera, and Nu Mou. (Personally, I always thought that the Bangaa looked more like dogs than they did lizards. Lizards don't have ears, damnit!)
I personally like FFTA. For some reason, battles in FFT seem "quieter" and seem to move at a fast pace I can't keep up with. Although I like the JP system in FFT, I think that the FFIX-type system in FFTA is better. Also, when I first played FFT, it was kind of hard to figure everything out, and I still have trouble playing. FFTA has a "pick-up-and-play" kind of feel. Also, they say "Beezwax". I laugh out loud when anyone says "Beezwax". Only complaint I have about it is that When Marche dies, he sounds like the same dead-laughing man that every other human(except Ritz) makes when they die. It's annoying.
On a side note, is there only one Jagd? I've been playing for about 26 hours already, and I've only gotten one Jagd token.
(No, there are three. Jagd Dorsa, Jagd Helje, and Jagd Ahli)
Have you ever playe ff 1 2 dawn of souls its just like pokemon. This game is way better. It is good
