It's a really cool game. The Quest/Ivalice team definitely got back to their roots in Tactics Ogre, with larger battle parties and larger 2d maps. I recognize that a lot of the work done in this game probably went back into the re-balancing of the Tactics Ogre remake, so I owe this game a huge debt. The gameplay was a lot tighter than FFT, not as unforgiving or exploitable from the time I spent with it. It also introduced us to the world of FFXII before the game came out, and that's a pretty awesome thing.

I could go on talking about why I didn't finish it or how it's an inferior spinoff, but this isn't the thread
