Post by: xreddawgx on October 26, 2007, 09:32:38 AM
i've beatin this game on PS1, got everyone lvl 99 mastered all classes with everyone, n finally square-enix decides to re-make with new chars(balthier and someone else i cant remember who)and two new classes, Dark Knight, and Onion Knight, is it worth re-playing just for these 4 things ?

Ehh, go for it. Could turn out to be good. Besides, a direct port but with extra stuff is always nice.

I've been looking at this myself, but at the moment I have no money. Bah.

It'd be the only reason I'd even consider buying a PSP.

Fortunately, I don't have to consider that much to come to my answer, which starts with E and ends with R. (Not for a while though, but I am a patient man.)

If you have a PSP though, go for it, FFT is spectacular as you already know, and it being handheld makes it even better.

Wow, I was expecting some blatant PSP-hatred from people. +20 respect to Apex for giving an intelligent answer.

Any PSP haters out there, get yourselves a cheap second-hand PSP, pick up this, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, one of the handheld GTAs, Lumines II, and maybe something else. Your mind will be changed about the PSP.

Sure it has a huge arrangement of crappy games, but it does have some good games, and things are getting better. God of War: Chains of Olympus anyone?

If you already have a PSP, then the answer should be a clear-cut "yes or go jump in front of a moving 18-wheeler". FFT is the best FF game I've ever played, and is within the top three strategy games I've ever played, so getting a chance to experience that piece of win anywhere is a real blessing. Of course, if you don't have a PSP, it's a toss-up. Do you have a PS1? Can you find a copy of the original? Do you care enough to play this epic title? If you've answered "no"? to more than one of these, then get it (yes, I realize that even if you said "no" to caring about it, then you should still get it). If you can answer "yes", then by all means, play it on your PS1 or PS2, or if you've bought into it before it's become worth it, your PS3 (they CAN play PS1 games, right?). Of course, there's still the matter of if you're a hardcore enough fan. Then the answer is up to you to decide.

I won't be buying it. I don't have enough incentive to spend that kind of cash on a PSP, and I doubt I ever will. Of course, that's partly because I have a working PS1 right in the drawer by the door to my room, and a copy of the game to go along with it.

My bro bought it. I haven't had a chance to play it yet (I've decided to beat every Zelda game I own) but I'll definately be playing it later.

Go for it. It's the best game on PSP right now.

For features, it's also got a new Vagrant Story-ish translation so the plot and skills are much easier to understand. It's also got new battles, and a few new secret characters.

The only thing people seem to complain about is the lag but since it's a strategy game, this doesn't really hurt it.

Word is that the story has been reworked to be even more epic than it previously was - and it did that quite well with the horrid translation and l i t t l e m o n e y.

No no no no no.

Have you played MHF2?

Thought not.

Yes I have.

If you've played it and you don't think it's the best game on PSP you, sir, are a raving tomfool. A curse upon thy mothre's wombe and all thy spawne.

Post by: aboutasoandthis on October 26, 2007, 08:40:18 PM
I will make sure to take a Pentagram and molest myself with it.

YES Monster Hunter is a great game. This kid I know has it and let me play. But c'mon, it's FINAL FANTASY FRIGGIN TACTICS WITH A SHAKESPEAREAN TRANSLATION. This is my calling! I would KILL for a chance to buy the thing.

Dude, don't worry about it. It's a PSP exclusive, therefore it'll be available on PS2, PS1, 360, Wii, Gameboy Advance and SNES before the end of the month.

What's so sad is that you're absolutely right. <_<

Monster Hunter was pretty cool, yeah. GTA? Please. That game series got old after 3. Lumines is yet another puzzle game I can get on XBL arcade and thus have no reason to buy a PSP for. However, Monster Hunter and FFT may make it worth owning alone since I don't have any other sony system on which to play them.

Oh yeah?! Well DS gets... Final... Fantasy... Advance... T-two...

DAMN IT.

Nah, just kidding, I'm sure besides the inevitably BAD story, it'll be a great game too.

Square Enix has touched it. It is no longer good and pure.

The PSP GTAs are fun. Yes, they're not particularly original, but neither are Nintendo games, and plenty of people find them enjoyable. Same principle.

When Sony sort out their Online Downloadable Games thing the PSP will become infinitely more awesome. Hundreds of PS1 games available for download to PSP? Yes please.

I am totally getting FFVIII first. Then I don't know what.

Oh yeah, Digimon World. I don't care what anyone says, that game rawked.

I lol'd.

It's games like this and Jean D'Arc that make me want to get a PSP, but the thing is...I don't have much cash for it, and if I did, why shell out a few hundred clams for a system and two games when I can buy a few other games I've been dying to play for other systems?

Nothing against FFT--it's a legend--but I've more interest in the upcoming Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.

Oh, and to the haters: I prefer a story of wonder and magic, along with a level-headed hero (FFTA) to an emo story (FFVII). 'Nuff said.

Now, excuse me: I need to go power-level a Mog Knight.

Nobody mentioned FFVII's story, and only one character was emo anyways. FFTA had a raunchy story, nothing more needs to be said, it was a complete flop compared to the first one, although it was entertaining and somewhat fun, it just didn't compare.

FFTA was boring... I won't get #2. My bro prolly will, but he got FFT for PSP.

Post by: Dragonium on November 02, 2007, 02:30:56 PM
FFTA failed in terms of story, but considering it was on a handheld console its gameplay was fun enough to enjoy on the move. Apart from that stupid "you're not allowed to hit the enemy" Law.

FFTWotL (Say that out loud. "Ftwottle".) looks like it should trump FFTA anyway. I want to get it, but unfortunately I'm already £10 in debt. Curses.

Also Djanki, FF7's story wasn't emo, it was just lame. Folks, before you reply to this, you should know I have my Flame Shield equipped and I have Magic Counter.

By what standards was it lame?

If you people don't appreciate a story such as that, then what the hell do you find to be a good story? I'm sorry, but you don't get much of a better story then Tactics VII and X.

Post by: Ben on November 02, 2007, 07:31:10 PM
for its time, ff7 had a phenominal story.

Characters were over dramticised...but that what happens.

The whole jenova reunion thing was badass.



As for psp.... DO NOT WANT
as for FFT psp.... CAN LIVE WITHOUT
as for FFTA... STORY WAS 4 KIDS BUT WAS A GOOD GAME, STFU
as for FFT2... WANT

You know, I concur with him on the 'over-dramatized' part..

But, still, wide-eyed curiosity FTW. I am sick of seeing 'children' like Kadaj in my Final Fantasy. Keep Tetsuya Nomura in shojo comics, where his artwork belongs...

(Casts Shell)

BTW: Apex, a good story has character growth and development, an involving conflict, and a satisfying end. Cloud's growth is...stunted, for lack of a better word, the conflict--while cool in its time!--is now pretty much cliche, and the ending was...weird. FFVII was great in its time, but enough's enough.

Now, back to the original intent of the thread: Now that FFT was remade, what of Tactical Ogre? A few of the guys who made TO went on to make FFT. Will we see another TO in the near future, I wonder?
