I like Tactics. I like Tactics a lot. However I loathe Tactics Advance. Being a PAL gamer I was constantly getting dicked around with games not being released here because they couldn't be arsed to give it French, German and Spanish translations or some equally lazy horsetrout. I dunno, maybe it had to do with not being arsed to put the FMVs into Twixtor and altering the framerate for a 50Hz TV, whatever.
My experience of the original Tactics was a mere two or three hours on someone else's modded PSX while I and my sister visited a friend at the other end of the country. Where I lived (i.e. out in the Yorkshire boonies) there was no way to get my PSX modded so no Tactics for me. Tactics Advance gave me false hope - when I first heard of it I expected a remake of the original and I thought "Yes! I can finally obtain a real copy and play it!" - and I will despise it forever for that.
Thank smurf for emulation I say. Yes I stole the game but Square were being cocks about letting me even play it so I did what I had to. "OH NOES OUR ART WON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY OF YOU SO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY IT IN ANY FASHION WHATSOEVER" smurf off. I am sick of intellectual property holders having this ridiculous attitude that is detrimental to arts and it's the reason some people resort to piracy. Way to admit your work might be nothing but commercial diarrhoea. (I incidentally outright promise to delete all my Daria episodes the second a region 2 DVD hits the market. Region locking, what a joke. How the smurf is that designed to PREVENT piracy? It smurfing encourages it!)
And then there was that PSP version and the things they buggered up in it... the one that apparently required you to illegitimately mod your PSP to make it run properly. I'll get it eventually I guess, so long as I find out the right ways to crack my PSP for it.
Rant over. tl;dr, I think FFT is excellent, but I'm sick of the way players in my region have been treated over it.
There's been a regime change. I invaded and shocked and awed you so hard the veil of tyranny was lifted from your eyes and you've been liberated and allowed to freely see the garbage that is FFT. No more with your dictators demand you swear fealty to such an obviously bad game!
Says the man who likes FFX and thought FFXIII was actually good...
Back on topic though...
You would need to create an objective criteria for what constitutes an objectively good game. Yet, I don't see that happening without some form of bias getting in. It would be easy to add criteria that favors one game over others and even then, some criteria is simply subjective no matter how you phrase it (best gameplay/best story) so I don't really think it's possible based on human nature, since it's difficult to look objectively at something that is loved subjectively. It would be like saying their is an objectively Best Movie.
Just like the game you want, and then argue it out with the other fans in a forum.![]()
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Crisis Core is the best followed by Birth by sleep, then 7, then my bum. then 12.

Lindsey Lohan? Insane Clown Posse? PG?
Final Fantasy VI is the best. Just try and disagree to this.
Final Fantasy IX is second best.
