HORRIBLE GAME

[dodhungry]

I am not going to go into a rant...I will let others do it for me...
but i will say I enjoy tactics very much

[Prancing Mad]

I've been playing Atlus' Hoshigami lately and found that to be barf worthy. OMG the music is SOOOOOO AWFUL. If you wanna play something truly awful, play Hoshigami. BTW I loved tactics to death, on one file I spent about 200 hours just having fun and trying to master everything legally. Then it got erased

Another thing I loved about Final Fantasy Tactics was how they payed homage to Final Fantasies of the past more than ANY OTHER FF...

Mostly by Treasures and Locations found by successful Propsitions.

Mirage Tower

The Amulet of Minh (Minu)

Carlarbina Doll (FFIV)

Excalipur

Kid's Bread..

Rat Tail (FF I) yummy treat

And so much more. This game get a spot on the wall of FF respect all by itself. And it's the last of it's kind before all this feeding of the masses their eye-candy.

FFT is by far the greatest single player game ever created, ever.

Infinite replay value, fully customizable characters, lots of great abilities, enemies, plot, music, gameplay, items, bosses, animations, everything about this game is great.

To be fair though, I'll list some things I don't like:
Math Skill is way too powerful. There, that's about it.

[feioncastor]

Holy junk! Am I the only one who thinks Math Skill is next-to-worthless? I mean, Orlandu is too powerful. Ramza as a monk with a bracer is too powerful. But Math Skill? I have never had it come in handy, and I've even tried to set up fights where it comes in handy. I've only had about one or two fights where it might've been useful, but it was easier to just have Ramza punch the guy, or have Orlandu use Lightning Stab or something.

you need to get all the moves for math skill. then change them into somehting like a white mage. Now try doing holy on everything but your own guys, which should be possible with one of the combinations. Mmm... Multiple enemy kills

[conan]

Yea Feion, give it a shot. Have someone master the calculator class, then make them a wizard with math skill, put them on auto-battle, and watch him kill every enemy unit on his first turn with a single calculated holy spell, which happens instantly, and with no mp cost....

oh, and don't forget to actually teach him holy as a priest first, and teach him any other spells you'd like to see him cast. But as a user of math skill, you will need raise, maybe raise 2, and holy. frog, petrify and undead are nice too. as a wizard, you could also use cure very effectively.

Try 2-3 Calculators on auto-battle against everything else. That's something to watch. Oh the chaotic-harmony... Or is it harmonious-chaos? I forget which...

[LoKuS]

I love this game.

[Pharoh Amon Khan III]

God I couldn't stand an hour of tactics. The game is literally unplayable. How do people eat this crap up?

So, in all this time and responses... Have you given the game a further chance? As you can see, there are a great legion of those that love this masterpiece; albeit that this is a thread for such enthusiasts, but... What has happened since your initial post?

[Dell]

This game is one of Square best creation. I really enjoyed it, it did sucked at the beginning but after I obtained full control of the lovely Agrias, I.......

[escobert]

Everythings pretty much been said but, it's a awsome game and you should give it a bit more of a try. One of my all time favorite storys.

[Ragnarok]

I felt the same way he did when I first started the game, especially so because it was the first game of its type I had ever played. Luckily I picked it up and tried it again on a school snowday and now its probably my favorite game of all time.

I'm not a fan of this game either for the exact reason that a lot of you seem to like it.

So many character options! So many classes! Yeah, that would be a good thing if there were any room for them in your party. I hated that I spent so much time training up characters only to have to kick them out to make room for the latest "unique" character I picked up. I really got attached to some of those characters! If they'd let you have more people in your party I could have gotten into it, but as it is you can't even have every unique character without having to dismiss a few, I believe. I just hated getting rid of people I'd invested so much in and have such fond memories of how they saved me in battles.

Also, I think Tactics Ogre outclasses FFT in every way. Same style of game, just executed way better.

Furthermore, the ending blew.

The game wasn't all bad, but really wasn't great.
