  • Der beste Soundtrack der je für ein Videospiel geschrieben wurde. Besser geht es nicht!

  • I love this video game most than my girlfriend

  • my game never had an intro like that

  • thumbs up if you kept playing the intro over and over and over

    when you first got the game

  • best intro ever? yes,no? i vote yes

  • seriously greatest opening to a game ever!

  • @fzerox64 Quit possibly yeah...the music and atmosphere are second to none, and it's also brilliantly directed, just look at the camera angles, all perfectly choosen, very dramatic. Every time i see this, it hits me. Amazing this is 13 years old already, and it still looks great, even compared to newer CGI cutscenes from more modern games. A true testament to the artwork! Too bad there wasn't more of it in the game, except for the ending ofcourse :)

  • @skyforestblaze I am currently enrolled in Digital Arts and Design. Someday I want to work with Square-Enix and create a game with great graphics story and compelling strategy. My school is Full Sail at Winter Park, FL. It would be cool to remake this game with a new software. Or maybe a movie on this game?!

  • I used to think as a kid, when will the actual game look as good as the cinematic?...well almost 12 years later We have it the in game graphics look a lot better that the cinematics of ols ps1 and ps2 games ( just check out witcher 2 if you dont believe me) but the games themselves have become worse. Back then we rarely had a 'bad' game as companies focused on game design a lot , Now they focus just on Art design , game-play is secondary.

  • Without a shadow of a doubt, Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the greatest games ever made. An instant masterpiece, from the plot to the musical scores, FFT is genius, and presented revolutionary gameplay ahead of its time. Its plot is so dramatic and deep, its worthy of a full, live action movie. Most of the games made now with x10 the technology and budget, cannot come close to FFT.

  • Easily my top 2 favorite game of all time. Already beat it 5 times, and now playing War of the Lions for my first time. Seriously guys, I'm really glad to see other people who love it.

    It's like RPG chess!

  • hands down (to me at least) best Final Fantasy, and best RPG ever made, and this is not even nostalgia talking i first played this game last year on the PS1 i might add, i really found amusing how i had played it over 50 hours but i still couldn't get nearly enough of it, i really felt like crap at the end XD

  • I grabbed my core group of characters, uncluding Cloud, had every one of them except two completely leveled in every job (save Cloud) and had them all close to 99 in my quest for the perfect tactics game. That last two were each one job away...then memory card went screwy and erased my game....sigh. Still, I at least beat the game once before that.

  • masterpiece.

  • @graychap, I've beaten it about four times. :P

    Two of those runs were split-offs from partial savefiles though, (IE, didn't do the first chapter or something, I like to think of them as "alternate realities" :P)

  • Hitoshi Sakimoto master piece

  • christ. is square enix like sega? were they sleeping during the 90s and apparently can't seem to recall how they used to make good games? I'd sooner have a sequel that plays exactly like this title if i could fucking erase the final fantasy tactics advance games. same thing goes for anything created after sonic and knuckles.

  • THIS Game Is not Even Playable anymore now that there's a new Horoscope namely Ophiuchus!

    Is there an upgrade to this Ver. ??? lol

  • @3randon9othizm actually, Ophiuchus is in the game ;). At the bottom of the Deep Dungeon is Elidbidis, who has the Serpentarious stone. Yes, the makers of this game were damn genius. :

  • Square Enix has became a piece of shit, making games like ff13.

    Why can't it make games like this anymore?

    What happened?

  • @Sanimangas

    ff7 was too popular and had to catch on with the masses...

    after that happens they worry too much about appealing to more people instead of quality

  • How many of you actually beat this game? Game was freaken amazing even though I couldn't finish it.

  • too bad this was square. square enix is trash.

  • I love this game, it's a shame that all of the Nintendo handheld successors are such complete garbage.

  • aah.. last great game ever..

    for kids that only know about this cuz the psp port, this was made back when they actually made GAMES and didnt just fill carts/discs with bullshit videos

  • @dathoedezt word

  • this reminds the mists of avalon

  • I still havent beaten this game.

  • yeah the european references are awesome

  • i love this game:(((

  • Why is there no Final Fantasy Tactics 2? D:<

  • 1:21

    jajajaja its naruto shippuden

  • i remember the first strategic rpg that i played was shining force 2 on sega and 2nd was this and i was like omg is this real .so many days and weeks spent playing this

  • I could feel the spirit of England in the first few seconds of this video.

  • of all final fantasies this is the best, EVER

  • After all these years, this is probably still my favorite videogame intro movie. Great artwork, great directing, and great soundtrack!

  • Have you ever had this moment when you suddenly start thinking of a game you haven't played in a while, then you suddenly feel this excitement whelling up inside you and you are like "wow I'll play this game this evening!"? =D

  • @Laurelindo Hell to the Yes!

  • @Laurelindo as a matter of fact, you just reminded me that i have the game on psp as well back at home. I will def. get it sent to me so I can play the heck out of it once again! :o]

  • I miss this game so much, i used to play everyday but then, accidentally i sat on it and now i can't find it anywhere.

    One of the best games i've ever played!

  • Es gab`, gibt und es wird wohl kein besseres Field-RPG mehr geben! - Eine einmalige Perle der Software-Geschichte ... :)

  • I remember getting stuck in this game, throwing the controller at the wall in fustration and then deciding to train a squad of ninjas to kill everything. Became very easy after that.I'm playing it again with a real party set up

  • 1: 39 SO EPIC!!

  • I love this game so much. Excellent storyline, excellent characters, and the fighting was fun.

    Besides, it's fun getting the Dark Knight class on the PSP. I spent half of the game working one of my characters towards it. She ended up being level 80 by the time I got her there. (Around the end of Chapter 3 )

  • this is a great game anyway, the playstation one years have fantastic games (ff7, ff8, alundra, metal gear solid, simphony of the night, rival school, tron bonne etc), not like xbox 360, wii or ps3, where all the games are identic and boring, sorry for my english, I speak Spanish.

  • I loved this game!! FFT is excellent bcuz it had a well-thoughtout system for acquiring abilities and the battles were really fun. The characters we received randomly in the beginning (with random names like Alexia, Don or Reily) later really grow in us. Planning to buy it for my future children (when I do have them and if God allows). FF7 had a good storyline, but leveling up was so boring! On the other hand, lvling up in FFT was so fun that I forgot the main storyline, due to too much lvling.

  • Great game. One of my favorite game soundtracks ever.

  • @dekard421 Me too! I've lost count how many times I've listened to it.

  • Comment removed

  • Classical and one of the best games to date .. nearly 10 years after it's release.

  • More than 10 years after its release, actually. ^_^

    This is a wonderful game, it's such a sweet feeling when you really start to get overpowered and tear up everything in your way.

    Right now I'm using two Ninjas and a Lancer with Draw Out and two Summoners with a complete Math Skill magic set.

    Everything dies. XD

  • Still to this day one of the most amazing games ever made.

  • Square - Enix. If you are listening, I will make you a deal:

    I will buy enough lottery tickets so that I am guaranteed to win the lottery.

    Once I have won said lottery, I promise to give you all the winnings, if you use the money to make a direct sequel to this game.

  • Yeah. I like Vagrant Story and all, but the Tactics in Valendia is amazing.

  • @13lackLight Good lord yes, a direct sequel, no lizardmen, no bunny women.. we want this game

  • @13lackLight im down for half said lotto tickets toward same cause sir.

  • You do realize that to buy enough lottery tickets to guarantee a win, you'd have to spend more than the prize money, right?

  • @Darkbirdy He could always spend enough money to get decent chances of winning (like 50% or so).

    Me and my little brother did that at a fair once, we occupied a place where you could win huge Toblerone packs and spent around $20 on most numbers on the spinning wheel to have almost 90% chances of winning, and we won. XD

  • @Laurelindo Yes, but the odds say that to buy enough to get a 50% chance to win, it would cost more than 50% of the prize money.

    That's the whole basis of a lottery. If there existed any way to spend X and get back X+1, people would set themselves up and do nothing but as a means of 'manufacturing' money. It isn't possible. Lotteries are a source of revenue for the people running them. There is no way to guarantee a profit by playing - there isn't even any way to make it likely.

  • @13lackLight

    Sequels are never a good idea....

  • @anythingnew eh it worked for terminator 2, and metal gear solid 2, and uh...yea, well what's the worst that could happen? a bad game? it's worth the risk, even though the chances of a good sequel from the current square-enix is slim.

  • @13lackLight i thought war of the lions was the sequel.

  • @AlyssaQistina98 Nope, just a remake (which IMO is absolutely worth playing even if you have played the original)

  • @13lackLight buying the tickets will waste more money than winning the lottery...

  • another HUGE game from that blessed years.

  • 1:37 I swear that music reminds me of xenogears

  • Ha, totally.

  • I really like the Scottish influences in this game.

  • It's not Scottish only, it is ENGLAND!

  • The games the best, I think this is the best retro FF, great composition of sounds, THE BEST!!!

  • I always watch the intro when I'm starting a new file, and it always leaves me breathless.

  • Comment removed

  • one of the most epic intros in gaming back then.

  • one of my all time favorite games with its special atmosphere and i always loved tactical rpg too.and yeah it was one of the first games i played on ps1 when i got it so it was something awesome for me back then

  • love it. wish life was a fantasy like that. but not quite like midevil!

  • i get goosebumps watchin this..its so cool

  • Cut to Church scene... then Ramza, Gafgarion, Agrias, Rad, Alicia, and some other girl knight with a name that starts with L kicking some Black Lion ass!!!! :D

    This game was/IS incredible..... one of my favorite games of all time.... Everything about it is just soooooo.... perfect.

    5/5 and favorited. ^_^

  • I wouldn't want to live in the medieval age man, everyone seem so cocky. Well, people still are today, but you know what I mean.

  • i hate the second battle, with just ramza and the computer ally. you dont get potions, wish doesnt heal yourself, the the computer ally doesnt even fight correctly. he never goes after the guy with the potions healing the other enemies. this battle should be at the end of the game since you have to think so hard. playing it over and over. good thing i can listen to the music anf forget about the dam game.. hehe ive offically lost interest in the game, but never the music.

  • You can add other units before the battle in Gariland - try browsing with the L/R buttons. :P

    I always have two other Squires (attackers) and two Chemists (healers) in that battle.

  • beautiful game, and hard sometimes!!

  • this game is great love the battle scenes and story too

  • Lol this game is impossible. played it forever and get my ass kicked every time.

  • just farm and the game becomes retarded, but the story is just too good

  • Say what

  • you just have to level a lot. a lot. get a calculater :) yes they take a LONG time to get but their worth it

  • this game rocks, just dont let your troops reache lvl 99 or even the last boss will fall without laying a hand on you XD

  • but... I WANTED to get them to 99 XD

    at least my main team of 5 :p

    I still remember one game that I got them to around 35 before I finished Chapter 1 lol

  • Awesome game!!!!

    Square-Enix can you please make a sequel?!

    Or a game like this!?

    PLEASE!!

  • There ARE sequels. Where the fuck have you been?

  • Nah. Tactics advanced and its sequals were lame, and utterly dissapointing.

  • Best SRPG ever!

  • Comment removed

  • This is the best game I've ever played and it's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have the original game from like 1998 is this intro on there??????

  • Yes, in the beginning, if you don't skip it, that is. :P

  • lol. digital chocobos. five miles an hour. amazing water though.

  • This has to be the best Final Fantasy Game overall I just beat it 10 mins ago best ending ever :) poor,Princess Ovelia...

  • i loved this game and was never a huge ff buff. id sacrifice my first born for a ps3 fft game

  • lmao

  • Sacrifice your first-born? XD

    I was expecting a leg or something.

  • This is one of the MOST gorgeous intros for Final Fantasy.

    The melody makes you try to anticipate "whats going to happen next??"

    This is beauty

  • I just love when the Knight's cape is flying in the wind at 2:25, it looks so epic for some reason.

  • love this game i already beat the game many times but i still play it!!! oh and my ramza is already a dark knight!!

  • I really love this game it's incredible the story is great and so the gameplay

  • I'm so not used to seeing this without it skipping.

  • one of the best games ever created , masterpiece.

  • Seriously, this game is the best final fantasy ive ever played. GO PLAY IT NOW!

    And Final fantasy tactics ADVANCE is garbage.

    Simply ridiculous. I couldnt finish it from boredom...

  • final fantasy vii is the best final fantasy

  • I prefer tactics battle mechanics :)

  • VII is pretty average. It's not a bad game, just not the best.

  • Best final fantasy is VI or III in USA

  • no

    best ff is this one !!!

  • Hardly, FFVII was extremely watered down from the previous Final Fantasy games.

  • OMFG!! i just got into a nostagical trip when watching this...

    great times playing this one

    damn i miss those 9-10 years ago lol

    PS: Delita is a fag

  • Agree'd. Even though I'm something of a nihilist, I still find Ramza to be an incredibly charming character.

  • is it like a final fantasy game? just its named tactic? like it has story and such?

  • This game is very good, but it's also very different from the other FFs in that it pretty much resembles chess: you move your troops around on different terrains. It's pretty fun to surround an enemy and hack away at him/her from all sides. :D

  • also, yes. It has a story. A good one, much better than most FF games in my opinion (Only games that outclass it is 6 and 12 in my opinion.)

  • classic

  • I've never played the PSX version (since I'm from europe) but I ordered the PSP version today =) I have played FFTA but I heard there were quite alot of differences between the two games...

  • FFTA SUCKS. Trust me. That game its for children (I nearly cried when I bought a GBA to play it.... WORST BUYING EVER).

    Final Fantasy Tactics has a tie with Final Fantasy VII to be the best PSX game EVER.

  • im buying final fantasy tactics to try it once i find it... i think FFTA is pretty fun its a fast paced game once you beat it cause its not hard after once.

  • The best thing about this game is the wonderful music. Even in the opening the music is good. I also agree with everyone, this is one of the best tactics game out there. The one for the PSP is just as good. :D

  • I think there's a very special atmosphere on the wet and rainy levels in this game. I can't describe it, but it is something enchanting and very nice about them.

  • man i know wat u mean i must have spent thousands of hours playing final fantasies, i have beat almost every one this one is next

  • Thisi game and FF7 are my top two I LOVE FF Series i have a PS1 EMULATOR on my laptop portable FF& and FFT :)

  • i like very much this game,i have 4 datas in this game.

  • this game rocks, just dont let your troops reache lvl 99 or even the last boss will fall without laying a hand on you XD

  • YES YES YES, FINAL FANTASY TACTICS FTW!!!!!!! FINAL FANTASY SERIES FTW!!!!!! Current classes ( Level 70 knight, lvl 65 cloud, lvl 58 orlandu lvl 71 ninja and lvl 63 beowulf

  • I am absulutely in love with this game.

    Ive beaten it so many times.

    I made my character into a Lancer, Ninja & Wizard.

    I don't really like the rest :/

    Samurai is pretty cool though.

  • masterpiece <3

  • to hard? really? I think it's not hard. this game is really fun ^^

  • Final Fantasy Tactics is a Final Fantasy but I never really played it cause square made it to hard

  • It is a final Fantasy yes but square made it to hard so I never really got a chance to play it

  • I am playing it on psp right now. It's a very good game, though, I am more into the "normal" final fantasy games. But don't get me wrong, FFT is a brilliant game - much better than most of todays' crap.

  • yerah wat did u think of tactics advanced

  • I thought it sucked compared to the original FFT

  • agreeing with alrokarr :P

  • The Best Final Fantasy Ever ;)

  • i played this game in the first day i bought playstation. and i felt like my dreams came true :)

  • in the end, it's still just a giant chicken.....

  • I can still pop in Tactics and play it through but FFVII it hasn't aged as well and I just can't say the same for it.

  • looking gooood

  • FFTA was okay, but this was the best

  • i love this game more than final fantasy VII and FF VIII

  • could someone please tell me how to get a ninja on this game?

  • Level 5 Theif, 3 Archer, and... Level 4... Monk I think... another alternative is to tame/entice a Ninja if you encounter it then you can learn how to do it from there. :P

  • ahhhhh...brings back the memories...i love this game so much....better than ff7...most complicated story and nice sounds...

  • you ever play FF6?

  • yup ff6 was good :P ahhh the good old school final fantasies :P im not really into the new ones... (started sucking after ff9 for me) maybe 13 but we're gonna have to see if its good or not when it comes out

  • lol, really my favorite final fantasies were, IV, VI, VII and tactics

  • hey, i just got this for the PSP (WOOT ITS FINALLY OUT!!!) anyways, sum1 know the name of the songs played in this game?? i wanna have mp3s of them sooooo bad

  • The soundtrack was extraordinary! The gameplay is enormous! The world of Ivalice was just wonderful! The story was suspenseful! I must say this game is a masterpiece!

  • Methinks I like this game even better than FFVII!!

  • I like this game better than VII too. They both came out the same year and FFVII over shadowed it with it's great graphics of it's time.But this year FFT will make a come back! :D

  • I loved this game so much! Everyone went crazy and betrayed each other! So many people died! One plot twist after another! It was madness! XD

  • I preorder and i cant wait to get it...

  • this is the best game and now that is coming for psp OMG I CANT FUCKING WAIT!!

  • I love this game!, I love the battle system, the job system, the soundtrack, and the graphics and maps its so awesome!...hope they

    will make something like this for ps3 :(

  • I loved the music in this game.

  • i love this game. it has a great story with an intense dialogue

  • best intro & music ever

  • only if games can be as good as it was back then. square enix game sucked after FF 10. =(

  • nah, the Kingdom Hearts games are brilliant and Final Fantasy XII is good too

  • yea your right,, i play ps1 more than ps2... i just love the old final fantasies... but the new ones are great, not as good as the ones on ps1 though

  • The "old" FF games[ie the good ones] are on the NES/SNES
