I played this game SO MUCH in my teenage years. One of my favorites.
You should still be playing it
Yep. Put on 200+ hours during that time. Even hearing the music reminds me of that special summer when I got it. Guess I coulda been going outside and meeting people during that time too... But I don't regret it. I had fun
@@rctecopyright I had gotten it for Christmas one year so every time it rolls around and I see the snow.. the-good-feels
Oh god, I've played through it about a dozen times in the last ten years, every playthrough coming in at about 150-250 hours. I haven't even ended my most recent playthrough(>200h), because the gameplay is just so good. It's absolutely one of my favourite games ever.
Somewhat ironic though considering the story and ending.
Same here! I have spent so much time playing FFTA! I replayed this game so many times, and was great to be my first big "RPG" that I could take anywhere!
I remember when my mom came home with a Gameboy Advance SP, over 2 months before it was released, and gave it to me (was given to her because she was at a convention expo for the company she worked for and it was one of the many things she got as a gift from companies trying to get the company to pick up their products for sale in their stores). It ended up being my favorite gaming device for a good 5+ years.
I remember, as a kid, really genuinely wishing the fantasy world is real so I can stay there.
Only for that one Marche guy to ruin everything for you. Then after you've gone home, it turns out everyone else had stayed at your dream world and having fun (postgame)
I freakin' hate the MC now that i understand the story 😂
Check out the full story of FF Tactics Advance under 4 hours on my channel in the GBA playlist
There is a film about that: Neverending Story.
But you're not supposed to wish that. It's escapism. Can't you see? It's not healthy! 😂
Naw man, you wouldn't want to live in a world where someone can summon a demon and kill a whole village. Or shoot fire at you and kill you. It would be brutal.
Are you gonna do a recap of its sequel?
Omg yes!
I would love a FFTA2 video!
Batong Bugok I’m not saying it’s bad but I dropped it midway and now can’t find the interest to finish it. Maybe some of the changes like thieves system (got worse), job system (too variable for just 15 unit slots),... makes it so worse than FFTA for me.
Tactics A2 is probably one of my favourite Final Fantasy games of all time.
Enjoyed ffta but is the sequel any good
@@joseestrada4737 A2 fixes a lot of the "problems" of Advance, and I think its the best of the three Tactics games to be quite frank.
"Escapism is not healthy"
boy, some big word there
Said the main character to an audience playing the actual game to escape.
Not when escapism gives you healthy legs to walk.
@@0Raik Yea.. this.
@@0Raik But in exchange, you lose your parents and everyone else you've ever known except your brother and two people you met yesterday.
Maybe FFTA doesn't do a great job relating its moral ambiguity, but jts definitely there.
@@Dahras1 aaaaaand??
Marche: Your reality sucks and im dragging you back to it
It should be I'm dragging all y'all back. He dragged his brother back in a wheelchair he grabbed Riz and she was actually becoming happy with herself and newt who was severely depressed.but then again I guess everything worked out because we do get tactics a2 which I actually enjoy.
Seriouslyyyyyy I wish there had been an alternate version where you play as Ritz fighting Marche to save Ivalace. Or that there’s been a fan hack making that happen
Reminder that Marche really did nothing wrong
@@silverdededestruction2197 he did everything wrong. He was a secret antagonist
@@tels9243 No, he didn't do anything wrong at all. In fact, he helped everyone at the end of the game, did you just ignore the ending or did you not beat the game?
One of the greatest games ever created. My older cousin gave me this game when he went off to college, I didn't know what it was but he said it was his favorite game. My childhood was godlike from that moment on. This is the game that gave me my addiction to tactics games. And I didn't even know until High School that they made tactics advance 2. I remember back in 2011 when Tactics Ogre was about to come out on the PSP and remember learning everything about the man Masuda and his legacy, and how Tactics Ogre was truly the first of its kind. Still to this day Tactics Ogre LUCT is my favorite game, and FFTA my 2nd favorite (assassin abuse and ninja overpowering is glorious). So far I've got Tactics Ogre: KOL, TO:LUCT, FFTA, FFTA2, FFT, and all U.S. released Fire Emblems under my belt, along with some lesser known games that I played but never finished along the way. I really wish these kinds of games were still being made to the high degree and polish that they once had, but I feel those days have come to an end. Still, what a glorious era of SRPG's, you will be missed. :')
Love this comment
TO: LUCT and FFTA is my fav games too. Glad to see people love them
Vandal hearts 2 was my second favorite behind LUCT. Front mission series is great. Hoshigami ruining blue earth was severely underrated
Did you ever play onimusha tactics on gba it's also very good
This is the game that got me into Final Fantasy franchise. I have a fond love for this game!
Same, my first Square game, which earned my loyalty.
Pretty sad to say, you should try the real ff tactic war or the lion
@@TheHmongol Why? If they enjoy Advance that's fine. They have nothing to prove to you by trying Ramza's game.
If anything attitudes like that make people not want to try it out.
@@achidikisob7759 imagine taking a masterpiece and then shitting on it . There you go.
TheHmongol imagine just being able to enjoy something you like without someone else shitting on it. Ffs they are 2 separate games that don’t even have a connected story line. War of the lions was great, no doubt about it, but this game was like a gateway drug into final fantasy for me and I’m sure others as well. Who cares how we all got here, we just wanna enjoy the ride. It would be so much better if you just sang the praises about war of the lions to hype others into playing it rather then insulting a game they love. Ffta and A2 will remain 2 of my fav games and no one can ever change that.
I love Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and its commentary on escapism. There's been a strong debate around that game about whether Marche was being an asshole to Mewt, or if he was doing the right thing.
After destroying the first crystal and seeing Mewt cry in the queen's lap, my first thought was "That is not Mewt's mother. I don't know what that thing is, but it's clearly posing as her to deceive Mewt and make him weak. I have to rescue him from whatever demon that is." My goal was clear, and it turns out I was right in the end, as Remedi was the final boss.
I'll always be on the Marche did the right thing side of the argument.
Patrick Baillargeon
I’ve heard this debate for years, and now, I just see it as a testament to the quality of FFTA’s simple & child friendly, yet morally gray story.
Many people criticize FFTA and A2 for being overly childish, but truthfully, it is much more than that.
@@holyordersol2668 A2... I dunno. I didn't feel that the stakes in A2 were as impactful as in FFTA. All Lusso needed to do was pretty much just come along for the ride until the final boss showed up. Marche's goal, on the other hand, was to save his friends from their own WoW addiction, even if it meant uninstalling the game. I feel that FFTA's themes really hit closer to home.
@@patrickbaillargeon1933 Oh, by no means was I comparing FFTA & A2 to FFT's plot. FFT's plot is miles ahead of the two.
I was just giving credit where credit is due (though, I should've separated A2 from the statement since I honestly don't recall much of its story).
Without going into outright spoilers, this sort of moral conundrum factors heavily into the latest XIV expansion Endwalker's story.
Something everyone forgets is that even if mewt got his wish, wouldn't that make him the asshole for forcing marche to stay when he wants to go home? It's a two sided coin which is what I liked about this game, cause you can see even marche struggles with his reasoning for wanting to leave
This game's story and characters was magnitudes of times better than FF Tactics A2, despite A2 having a more polished gameplay.
Nisbah Mumtaz True. To be quite honest I cared more for the random clan members than the actual main characters. Hell I stopped using Luso once I got a sixth clan member.
Agreed
Only thing i prefer in 2
Well more of a complaint in first game
Judge system can be brutal in 1
I have to respectfully disagree. I found Advance's story to be like a middle school drama (it came out the year I was leaving high school). It's juvenile at the best of times, trying to be deep but coming off as not understanding what deep even means. The main character sucks, the supports suck (Exception: Montblanc, who is amazing in all versions), and the ending is just... bleh. Ritz especially is the worst.
TA2, however, doesn't bother with most of the drama, instead embracing the childlike WONDER instead. Luso is a fun loving kid on an adventure, and he's going to enjoy it, not try to drag everything down just because he's not sure where he is anymore. Even Adell's attempts to drag the story down don't survive Luso's boundless energy and optimism.
The first thing Marche does in the new world is accidental racism, a lot of apologizing, and freaking out.
The first thing Luso does in the new world is try and poke a giant chicken in the eye!
@@prince_nocturne how on Earth did Marche commit "accidental racism"? If you're going to point out his shock at meeting literally the first sentient non-human species in his life (and learning that there are even more) as racism, you're out of your mind.
Well, A2 doesn't have a whole lot of story.
The majority of the game's plot is "do enough sidequests to progress", and the second biggest portion is all about secondary characters and an antagonist whose backstory is never explained, despite being set up as a foil to Luso.
A1, on the other hand, spends most of that time with proper worldbuilding and playing Marche, Ritz, Mewt, and Doned off each other - it makes your playable character actually feel like the protagonist, which does a lot to immerse you in the world.
A2 has some fantastic side stories and tertiary characters, don't get me wrong, but they're diamonds in the rough.
Back in the day when story telling was done right.
With no dlcs
@@jesselee9943 👏 👏 My favorite villian is Llednar one of the best written character's.
@@calvinrump3558 I remember him being harder than the final boss when i played. it made it more epic that way
@@jesselee9943 Back in the day, you had to come up with a strategy to defeat strong opponents.
@@calvinrump3558 you still come up a with a strategy today, its simple just add your credit card details and its good to go
Plays map for 2 hours and steals gear from enemies only to get a judgement card towards the end because you forgot and were playing so long.
Sigh
*resets game*
It would be badass if Marche and Ritz got into Dissidia :)
It would be great if Square even acknowledged that these games existed lol
@@OurFantasyLife Marche is in the ios game final fantasy record keeper,if that kind of counts :P
Andrew Cota ill take it!!
Imagine Marche being summoned to the Chaos side and being manipulated into thinking the world of Dissidia needs to be destroyed to restore the real one
I've noticed that hardly anyone seems to understand this game, which is odd because the theme is actually really simple: running away from your problems instead of confronting them is a destructive way to live.
The problem with the game is that it does a shit job at convincing the player. All the important details are there (hell, in some versions of the game, La-grim had the sole intent on killing these kids), but Marche doesn't address any of it, and therefore, neither does the player
Its not the games fault at all. In fact, i find the game does a good job at doing that. Problem is the majority of people have trouble with basic interpretation. The message is literally spelled out to you
@@pizzweak580 i agree, it’s so laid out you kinda just get desensitized to it
I think one issue is that Marche has very little character growth compared to his contemporaries. In a way, Babus was right that Marche was the “real” enemy, but that only evoked a small stammering response from the main character, not any significant reflection. Like, what are the actual ramifications of everyone continuing to live in this Ivalice? Would they lose control of themselves and just become part of the game? Would they cease to exist otherwise? I don’t think that part is flushed out as much so the stakes aren’t there.
@@joshuaklein8429 exactly the problem i have with the game. the main character is a well intentioned but pushy one that makes you feel bad about things
whoever is playing this game, remember to use assassin's theyre the most broken class in the game
**Dodges and Counter-attacks**
Time mage , juggler , assassin combo too Op
I prefere the paladin.
I use Cheer on my Templar and do 999 dmg
Gotta love having a 100% accurate instant kill move. Combo it with a Juggler's Smile or Time Mage's Quicken for more fun.
Will you be doing a (RECAPitation) of FF tactics A2 grimoire of the rift at any point! Loved that game and love these videos so would be awesome if you could 🙏🦾
The soundtrack feels like home always.
I can appreciate how these characters resemble the OG final fantasy Tactics characters. Agrias, Ramza , Ovelia, Delita and so on.
I never liked this game. Like, the gameplay is really great, and I loved the advancements, and I especially loved the different playable races... but the story just never grabbed me. Marche always struck me as this whiny kid, Mewt for most of the game is arrogant and spoiled, and *RITZ* God I hated Ritz. Marche wants to destroy the world because it's not real. Fine. Mewt needs to escape because he's extraordinarily depressed. Fine. Ritz... doesn't like the color of her hair. Just... *sigh* I'd have KILLED to get white hair as a kid.
So much preferred A2. Luso gets sucked into another world "Whoa! Where am I? WHOA! You're not human! *WHOA! A GIANT CHICKEN!* ....Imma poke it!" Love Luso.
In Ritz' defense she was more sad about being bullied and she thought her mother was ashamed of her hair cause she would cry when she dyed everyday
I've played this more than any other FF game. Which is saying something.
FFT, FFT:A, and FFT:A2 are three games that I play every single year and have been doing that for over a decade now. I just keep coming back, nothing ever has really compared to them.
Give Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark a try. It embraces the Tactics gameplay perfectly and brings an own, original Story.
One of my Fave games ever
Marche did nothing wrong
Gotta love how Montblanc makes an appearance on FF12
I'll be testing the Premiere feature with this installment of RECAPitation, and I encourage you to set up an alert so we can all watch it together. I will be in the chat during the premiere, though afterwards, I will be in the voice chat of my discord server (link in the description) for a few hours after the premiere to answer questions for anyone or chat about the game/episode. I look forward to hearing from you! Otherwise, it was such a pleasure to revisit this game I put dozens of hours into on my old GBA.
EDIT: I am aware that a few times during the video, there is a buffer frame from the beginning of the video that flashes for a second... this is NOT from the source video and is a weird youtube upload glitch I believe resulted from debuting via the Premiere stream. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I can do on my end since its a youtube-side problem. Thank you for your understanding.
EDIT 2: Looks like this fixes itself after a day when youtube fully processes the video, it seems.
The next RECAPitation will be: Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht (Patron poll winner) (but something else may be posted first depending on when I finish)
can you please do corpse party? start with corpse party blood covered on PSP.
This was the first final fantasy game i've owned
Same. I don't play any FF without Tactics in the title.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Yep, This game will always be the "Original" everything after are "Knock-off" versions.
This is one of my beloved childhood games! I recently started playing it again via a gba emulator on my phone. It drowns me with nostalgia.
Nostalgia is serious. Missing my young days with my GBA SP and this game and whatever was the newest Pokemon at the time.
Same bro
Nice. Any plans for xenosaga?
@DonJuan Yates Bioshock 4?
I'd love to have Marche in Dissidia, they put Ramza and Ace in.
Kids can't Tango with Grown men. Jecht would wreck him:)
Daniel Ramsey a) Ace is already in the game, as is Onion Knight and they’re not adults, and b) Marche already fights adults in this game, what’s your point? Jecht can lose to his own kid, it’s not impossible.
Marche, Ritz, or Monteblanc
Nah, the only thing he'd want is to go home
Marshe: *escapism is bad*
*while playing a gba game to escape real world problems*
This game is my chieldhood. i was sickly boy as Doned.
Please do Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2! I would love nothing more
yes!! for ds 3d
I was 7 when I played this game for the first time, it was my first Final Fantasy and will always hold a special place in my memory
Three days?! That‘s cruel. Plus, nobody really likes the premiere-function^^
I personally like the premiere-function, but I understand that some don't
@@TheJfluffy Why?
Electronic Corgi I just like seeing people react to the video the first time it's up.
At first the judge system was a bit annoying. But after figuring out how to maneuver around and change laws on battles, and the eventual law cards, it really made the game more fun to play!
I loved forcing laws on battles where I know I'm going to get the enemy penalized or forced into bot using stronger moves with the use of a law card lol
I played this so much when I was a kid that I neglected my studies and got my game boy thrown out from my 8th story apartment. Didn't got to see the end of the story, so thanks lol.
I was never able to get all the 300 missions to appear. Always stuck around 270.
thats because there is a quest that requires i think 2 or 3 quest items thing is you can only acquire 1 of them in your game in other words you have to trade with another player for it forgot which items those were...there are copies of the game out there if you are lucky can get all the items but hear they are few
Yeah it took a while to figure that some missions are only around during certain parts of the story, so if you progress too much you’ve already derped. Also some items trigger quests to appear after you examine, such as The Hero Gaol item. It’s wise to loop through the 4 seasons as much as you can before progressing the story
I’m so glad people are still talking about this series
While the laws in this game suck there's at least ways of probably knowing what the law is going to be in the next fight. Also, being able to change equipment before the fight starts and seeing the field before picking your units are good additions to the series. I feel A2's changes to the law system are a large improvement, but Advance is still a good game
good video but there's constant flashes of the title card throughout the video please fix that
edit: it's a TH-cam glitch! it's not him
Not me, a youtube glitch that out of my hands. Nothing I can do unfortunately.
ahh! if it's a TH-cam glitch then that's not on you! understandable but still a great video
(hopefully we see an A2 recap because I just love the Ivalice world)
Okay, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but why do I keep seeing images pop up for a split second and then go away? I'm watching this on my phone and I can't stop it quick enough to figure out what it is.
Unfortunately, its a youtube upload glitch and not from the original video.
Fire up the emulator boys!
Just 100% this game last month on emulator. What a great feeling.
This game actually deserves a Dlc in Dissidia NT but will never get one.
Marche, Montblanc, Ezel, Ritz, Shara, Babus, Julius, Pallanzo, Eldina, Littlevilli, Cheney, Quin, Nono, The Hero of Gaul, Judge Cid, Ledner Twem, Queen and Gabranth
Oh yea, my favourite tactics game. More than Fire Emblem.
I couldn't really get into this game when I played it as a kid, but hearing the plot it sounds pretty engaging.
I remember when my Montblanc died in Jagd hunt and I cried for days :(
:D aww.
I used to kill him on purpose because I didn't like his outfit and that he couldn't change it or be fired. I would also have killed Marche for that exact same reason if he hadn't been the protagonist.
I'm currently attempting to make my own isometric game using elements from...
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Fire Emblem
Final Fantasy Tactics Ogre
I would appreciate some comments to better inspire and clarify certain features that would be "appreciated" by both communities.
1. Judge System
2. Support System
3. Skills?
I'll end up making a reddit post about this obviously but I thought I'd start getting some feedback while watching this video for nostalgia's sake.
Sounds cool and I think skills would be a nice feature
FFTA and FFXV are the only FF games I actually like. Love this game and its premise.
I remember this was the fist game i bought with my own money, was 11 years old cleaning silverware at a family friends restaurant. First check bought this game a cactus cooler and some hot cheeto asteroids( if you know you know). Amazing game!!!
Wait...... What about the post game?
Ritz and Babus! :D
Will we get Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for the DS?
I loved these kind of games when I was younger, I even made some videos about strategy, rpg and other genres on GBA, and sometimes I play them on my pc and mobile, using VBA
I deadass started a replay of the 1st game recently. This kind of video was exactly what I had a hankering for.
What's up with the Square-Enix logo flashing for half a second at many random times in video?
Yea?
TH-cam-upload glitch I do not have a solution for since it's not the original video.
@@OniBlackMage Thanks for the answer. I thought it was some copyright mumbo jumbo protection system ^^;
Many people hate Marche for doing what he did, but for me he did the right thing and was mature enough to face the facts. That's what made him the hero of the story.
I think this ff story can be well adapted to a series.
One thing I just became conscious of while watching this game is how the Law system actually characterizes Newt and shows why his escapism is bad through gameplay.
Everyone who plays FFTA knows how annoying the law system is. Its random, capricious, and can totally ruin your your strategy for no reason. But the reason the laws change so frequently and arbitrarily is because they are literally Newt's random whims, the fancies and outbursts of a pre-teen with the power of a God and no realistic limitations.
All this to say, the fact that the laws are annoying is experiential proof of how corrosive Newt's escapism is to his character.
Gameplay and story integration at its finest, honestly
Switch give me tactics advance remake
I have played this game before on my GBA and finished the game. I also unlock the special character who was Judge Cid who was capable of manipulating the current law (so OP). 🔥😊😉
why cant they put this on the switch's GBA app.
Has anyone seen Kbash's video on FF Tactics Advance?
These vids are priceless for someone like me who would LIKE to be able to play all these games, but doesnt have enough time to even play a few!
def one of my fav tactic game growing up!
FF elitists: "FFTA was a silly kid's game!"
Also FF elitists: *Main Viera in XIV, farm Clan Nutsy hunts, and love Beg Luqq as a character.*
FFTA's story is quite philosophical imo, just maybe disliked by FFT fans because not detailed enough, since the characters don't have backstories or a lore menu like in FFT
Their criticisms are really dumb tho when they don't provide an explanation
My Name Is Mar Shay
So.. an escapist fantasy about escaping an escapist fantasy? lol
The only ff where you destroy the crystal by your own judgement
Marche was right, escapism aren't healthy
My teen years were pretty much defined by this game. I still have it and I often have the urge to play it, but the DS screen is so small and bad that I can't enjoy it as much as I used to when I didn't have huge screens everywhere.
I find That Marche is the most interesting final fantasy protagonist to date, seriously people need to stop hating marche and do a deep dive on his character.
It was okay to hate him at first. It shows that those who hate him are still immature. Those who understand him has some degree of understanding
This game was a slap in the face to The original FF Tactics fans. What a turd.
Agreed.
Nah, FFT fans are stupid boomers imo. I like both and think this game has its own weight in terms of story department, boomers just can't accept that kids have their own struggles too. FFTA2 on the other hand is def. lacking though.
Okey i was waiting for this, since i saw people say that this game is in same universe as final fantssy 12, but sadly the games doesnt seem as something i would enjoy playing.
Yout channel is amazing btw
yes and no. "dream version"
Honestly I liked this game and I dont mind the judge system, I feel folks complain about it way too much.
Its not FFT but its not meant to be, its a kid friendly spinoff that stands on its own.
Judge system was shit And completely ruined the game. Completely ruined it.
Are you gonna do crystal bearers. Chronicles and comrades would be cool. WHAT HAPPENED ON FF COMRADES. BRING IT BACK!! LOL
This game mesmerized me as a kid. I was enthralled.
Why aren’t there more games like the Final Fantasy Tactics series? I love the gameplay
Man. The story was so deep. This takes me back to 2003 to 2008 when I replayed this over and over
Please do Breath of Fire :D
You should do more of the "Tales" series, specifically Tales of Symphonia.
is Grimoire of the Rift on the docket?
one of the greatest games ever. I played this game to death
hope you do Revneant wings at some point
Actually paying through it again right now. Thanks for the video, glad the game is still somewhat relevant nowadays.
I absolutely love this game, it really does have a beautiful story.
Ever since I picked up this game as a kid many years ago, I got hooked on the perfectly paced storytelling, the fantastical worlds, and the addictive gameplay that the tactics saga had to offer. Thanks for reminding me just why I love these games!
Have you considered making a video on the Ogre Battle saga?
Still waiting for SE to make a new tactics game...
@@nekotorin We all are. :/
replayed this game a couple hundred times, even until today for 15 years wew. . hehe loved this game and ff12 so much specially the ivalice world
Ivalice world is awesome. It's great that you replay it
It’s been sooooo long! I can’t wait! Stress is way over normal!
After Playing FFT, I thought I’d like this one. I did not. The game mechanics just turned me off. I disliked the Judge System.
There are mods that disable the Laws, IIRC. You should definitely give that a try!
Don't let the Judge system prevent you from playing this wonderful piece of art.
It's supposed to be annoying as it's a crucial part of the story.
Also, once you unlock anti-laws you can basically bend the Law system to your will and take full advantage of your foes.
Finally! Welcome back recapitation series!
Hot-Take Recap: "Kids with hard lives get bullied at school. Whiny boy finds & uses magic book from library to create a fake world where he makes the rules. Marche spends the whole game convincing him escapism is not the answer." This version was so bad it needed a sequel instead of a remaster. Honestly, the game would have been better if it was called literally anything other than Final Fantasy Tactics. You can't put this game in the same frame as the masterpiece itself and expect them not to be compared. They're both great, but the Original/WotL is vastly superior.
This game was so lit
Wow I never got to finish this game and 17 years later I finally got to learn how it ended, thank you!
This made me remember how conflicted I was playing as Marche and progressing his agenda to bring the real world back. I actually wanted them to stay in Ivalice forever. Causing conflicting emotions throughout the entire game.
Can you cover Final Fantasy tactics that was made for the Nintendo DS?
remember playing it when i was a kid, and I had a hyper powerful character that could 1v6 in the jagds. It was something like:
Feather boots, Angellic Ring, Mirror Mail, 2x Blood Swords, Strikeback, as a Paladin Class with ninja sub class.
I replayed the game, to try to recapture this feeling, and man.... rose-tinted glasses are really something. Maybe because I was young, I felt more powerful than i do now, with loads of tactics experience under my belt now. Interesting feeling, and great video.
I still remember the day I bought it, played it and I've loved it ever since. It's so nostalgic, I absolutely recommend it to anyone into fantasy games. Truly understated imo!
great video! I would Love to watch a recapitation of the persona series :D
I'd be in the Heaven if there was one for the 5 games.
anyone know of any games like tactics advance that I can/should play now? I dunno why but i've been craving for something like this but Mercinary Wings on the switch isn't doing it for me rn
My all time favorite game. I have bought so many CRPGs trying to recapture the joy of playing this game for the first time, but they all fell short for me.
17:30
Ahh,bunny army lol
amazing soundtrack too
Yea, and A2 soundtrack is godlike, especially the kings. I always wished FFT had an amazing soundtrack like the Advance series.
I'll admit that I was biased against this game from the outset because I expected it to be much more like the original PS1 title. While I still think that FFT is much better (I've purchased it on multiple platforms and the remaster is amazing.) I'll admit that FFTA had an okay story and decent gameplay. I had many hours of fun on this game until it was stolen.
However if anybody likes this game and has never played them, I highly encourage picking up Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions. Both are on the PSN for PSP/PSVita and have more depth to story, gameplay, and character building/variety.
