Final Fantasy Tactics

THE GOOD:
The deep storyline with likeable characters and also deep gameplay makes this game ridicoulusly good. Its one of my favorite Final Fantasy games along with FF7 and FF8.

THE BAD:
When you move a character and you dont like that he was placed ther you cant move him back, this makes the game hard for newcommers to this kind of gameplay, not for noobs, seriously play some other tactical games before this one so you can get used to it like Vandal Hearts and Fire Emblem.

SUMMARY:
Final Fantasy games have always been turn based, turn based gameplay is when you have 3 or 4 of your charcters on one side of the field, while there are 3 0r 4 enemies on the other side. When its your turn you can attack and use items and whatnot. This time the well know and prestigous company Squaresoft have decided to try something very diffrent form their usual gameplay style. Now this game uses a gameplay called Tactical...

THE GOOD:
Great job classes, good learning system, the cheapness(like using scream over and over again), the battle system, tough battles throughout the game, deep story, awesome characters.

THE BAD:
The cheapness(like using scream over and over again), the battle system, the optional characters can end up pretty much taking over your party

SUMMARY:
Final fantasy tactics really is one of the best final fantasys that I've played. The story is complex and I recommend playing the game a second time just to absorb more of it.

Moving around the world map is easy. As you go further into the story, more and more places will appear on the world map as dots and you can select a dot to go to. If you know the name of a place you want to go, you can just go to a menu and select that name and you will go to it. Random battles still occur on the world map though. If you're going to another place, you will have to...

Final Fantasy Tactics is a strategic RPG for the PSX that spawned from the Final Fantasy franchise. FFT incorporated many new elements to the series that have not been seen from any FF game or for many tactical RPGs of it's time and really made the game in my opinion one of the best of the series.

First off the story, this is one of the deepest stories I experienced in my opinion. Mind you this game was done back in 98, back then there were not many games with such stories like this. You play as Ramza Belouve, a well respected young man from a noble family of knights. It's the start of the Lion War and you are joined by your best friend Delita to fight in it. The story expands from this in so many ways, fighting through sadness, betrayal and so on in a truly epic tale.

The gameplay really makes this game exceptional, mainly the job system. You are able to customize your characters, give them jobs and each job of course has it's own unique skill....

THE GOOD:
The graphics are great, the sounds are good, the music is ok but original, the gameplay is great better than the gameboy advance version, the abilities are cool because there is alot of magics, weapons, armors, and lots of stuff that have to do with the abilities.

THE BAD:
There really nothing wrong with this game except it's very difficult to play when it's hard.

SUMMARY:
This game is really cool. I like it a lot better than Final Fantasy VIII, IX, and the Gameboy Advance version of tactics. People sould play this game more often than the Gameboy Advance version. An old game came out on 1998, still great. Well... at least it's better than VIII, IX, and Advance version.

Graphics 5/5
Sounds 4.9/5
Music 4.7/5
Gameplay 4.8/5
Abilities 4.9/5
Overall 4.9/5

THE GOOD:
Numerous jobs/classes for you to utilize and learn tons of different skills. Sidequests which are fun and challenging give you new equipment.

THE BAD:
3/4 into the game you get a character called Cid who is insanely powerful. Not a hidden character, but you're given him. Made the game insanely easy if you choose to use him. 1 Disc Only and I just wished there was more to do in the game overall. Horrible translation in parts also.

SUMMARY:
I have to leave some more comments in order for this review to be complete, so all I can say is that if you do get this game and enjoy it, I reccomend Disgaea and La Pucelle Tactics for PSX2...Jeez, more comments are needed. So ..hmm, go check out Ogre Battle for Super Nintendo also if you like FFT. Yeah so so so yeh yeah fire fire

Let me start off by saying that when I first rented this game, I was just about ready to smash it. I go to the video store, I pick up Alundra and, ooh, there's FF Tactics. So I get it, too, and after playing it about a half hour and being utterly decimated, I take it out and pop in Alundra. Well, I go to Wal-Mart, and when I come back, I decide to play FF Tactics to see if I can figure anything out. I get killed a couple more times, then... BOOM! I start getting it.

Now, if you don't like strategy games, and don't have some fair amount of patience, DO NOT play this game. If, however, you enjoy strategy and being able to customize your characters, this is a great game.

Graphics: 6

I personally didn't see anything spectacular here, it's alright, but nothing to go crazy over. The cut-scenes, however, are nice.

Sound: 6

Again, I don't really recall anything outstanding here. Maybe I was focused on the fighting, I dunno, but the music didn't really...

THE GOOD:
Nice story, good length, multiple classes, interesting battle system with a few elements from RPGs, nice "classic-like" graphics.

THE BAD:
Nothing that bad at all.

SUMMARY:
FFT is a great game where you fight in a turn based system. The order in which you attack is similar to that of FF7. There are many unique classes and skills allowing you to create a strong and unique team. This game's story is pretty good and it's long and entertaining. Also the game does not try to hook players with "stunning/amazing" graphics. Instead it has nice "classic-like" graphics which fit the game style perfectly. I suggest it to anybody who likes strategy games, RPGS, or the Final Fantasy series. So my final thing to say to you is if you get this game good luck. The beginning is pretty hard! I haven't beaten it yet but that's because I've had it for a week which shows you can...

THE GOOD:
Just about everything
Epic Storyline
Great Turn-Based Strategy System
engrossing game play (Addicting)
Music (you will get to know it well with the time you will put in on this one)
Job/Class System

THE BAD:
Have to be into Turn-Based Strategy, or you will find little to know fun in this

SUMMARY:
I didn't pick up a copy of this game untell it was a greatest hit. I'm sorry for that fact, This is one of the best games I'v played for a ps1 game. This review might be a tad bias on my part, because this is to date, my favorite game out there. I like it more then any ps2, xbox, or gamecube game I have ever played.

this is a Final Fantasy game, so you come in under the intention that this will fallow the rules most Final Fantasy games do. Well.. it does to an certain extent. You can ride chocobos, summon shiva, use a phoenix down, and cast fire, bolt, and ice.
The story goes in...

THE GOOD:
Almost Everything-Music,Character Work and such.

THE BAD:
Super-complex storyline.

SUMMARY:
As i sit on the coach playing this game, i get my frustrating times and good times. I'll basically tell you more about the game.

Storyline-3.5
This is one of the best storylines around! But why not a 4 or a 5? That's because it's too complex. And the chapters don't help that much. First you have a story of revenge, then about the church and tehn... what next? As i said, it's just too complex.

Graphics-4
The reason for just plain 4 is because.. come on! They're 2-D figures! No graphics needed!

Music-4.5
The music is awesome! It fits perfectly with the mood of the scene. Thsi wonderful music will astound you!

Character Work-4.5
This is pretty good character work here. Cute monsters and cool faces. The only question-why don't have noses? But still, truly awesome character...

THE GOOD:
Complex Storyline
Great Graphics

Very fun, Deep customization options...

19 different job classes... And 400 abilities...

Very Addictive... You will be playing this game for at least 20 hours...

THE BAD:
Well... I didn't find much wrong with this game...
I guess this would be difficult for young children...
The only problems I found, was that it was a little to short...lacked Sidequests... and sometimes it would start glitching and freeze...

SUMMARY:
Graphics : The graphics were great for it's time. Great 3-D landscape...

Sound: Great Music... Sound effects are also good...

Gameplay: The Job classes make you play the game over and over again... You can play for hours without getting bored... Getting all the abilities,weapons, and mastering every class takes a lot of time...

Replay Value: Great... Everytime you start a new game it's going...
