Post by: 182Ways on July 19, 2001, 09:26:41 PM: Well, I\'ve only rented the game once, and that was a long time ago. I can\'t quite remember the story, but it revolves around a guy who is a soldier in an army. Some girl is kidnapped, and some other stuff happens, blah blah blah, you end up fighting bad guys. Sorry, but it was a long time ago. ;)

Anyway, the gameplay is AWESOME. It\'s a strategy game, so it\'s nothing like the typical Final Fantasy game. What I enjoyed most was the Job System, because there were so many options available. You could customize your party to suit your desires, which made the game a lot of fun. Battles were actually challenging -- something that can\'t be said for most other RPGs. There\'s magic, and summons, and everything else that makes FF great, only it\'s implemented in a much better fashion (IMO).

You really do need to play FFT at least once. Although the game is very long, I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy every minute of it.

The gameplay is addictive, and the story is almost as deep as FF7, I would go as far as to say that its about 2x as good as final fantasy 7.
Everyone should at least try it out.
Hint fo everyone.
Have every character learn auto-potion and I think up morale, something like that.
Good things to have.
Great game.
Thundergod cid is the man.

I hope this re-release shows the popularity of FFT and Square does a sequel.

Not only in the gameplay but with the storyline also. Do not miss the chance to buy this game if it is re-released.

Post by: RichG on July 22, 2001, 01:07:11 AM: You couldn\'t get either Final Fantasy Anthology or Tactics in the UK. That didn\'t stop me though, I imported. Thing is i\'ve completed Final Fantasy VI part of the Anthology but never bothered with V or Tactics. All this talk though makes me wonder if I should start to play Tactics.

Post by: Byatch on July 23, 2001, 03:06:10 AM: RichGUK, do yourself a favour and play V. It`s hard, actually it`s very hard in places but it has a magic system only matched by 7`s materia.

Post by: MikeXKiller on July 25, 2001, 12:17:19 PM: FFT is the best game. I got it for 20$$$ and let me tell all of you its worth every penny. It is my favorite game. It is at least a 40 hour game, plus it also has the secret holly stone hidden. I also have some tips. Watch out for Ninjas because they can have two wepons and can throw stuff at u. Use your main character whoever it is. (the one that u get to name) One of the best combos of moves is to get the two swors. It costs 900 points so save up. Then change the job class back to knight and u can have twice the attack power. Like someone also said Auto potion is great. But it uses the least powerful potion u have so only buy X potions. Also for those people that like powerful Ninjas use the equip armor. Also there is a way to get Cloud from FF7. But for all of his attacks u will need his Material blade. It is found on the Lava battle map at the highest point. Also some people have great equipment, so u will need a someone who can steal, also that person should be femail. Well have fun, and thunder god Cid rocks.

Post by: know-it-all-wanna-be on July 25, 2001, 02:53:32 PM: I played FFT (borrowed from my friend long time ago).

It was very addicting. Good music. Oh, the main male character started out a squire or something like that. I still remember a special move from this lady (forgot the name) that do Stasis Sword and said something like this "life is short, bury...stasis sword."

And you can actually uses chocobo in your battle to. They\'re playable and you can actually ride on them too. I think there are like red, blue and yellow chocobos or something like that.

I love the job system and too bad there are only 15 spots you take playable characters even though you can make your enemies as your playable characters too making it over 150 + characters.

This is the list of my best rpg of all time:

1st) FF 7
2nd) Xenogears
3rd) FF Tactics.

[07.18.01] » With odious green spine in tow.

Despite reports from a handful of sites denying our earlier story, Final Fantasy Tactics is indeed headed for Sony\'s Greatest Hits line of games and now has a firm release date and price. Videogame retailer GameStop has verified that the Greatest Hits version to this PlayStation classic should reach store shelves on July 31st for a meager price of $24.99.

In addition, a rerelease of Prima\'s Official Strategy Guide to Final Fantasy Tactics will be available.

Thanks to Brad Williams for the release date tip.

I\'m so excited! Something new to do before ICO comes out!
