Idea for the "continuation" of this game - The Lion War itself, where it was Larg vs Goltanna. This part can concentrate on Delita and how he climbed up the ranks. Ramza can appear during cameo screens. The major characters can be Larg / Goltanna's party initially as antagonists, while developing further into where Delita finds out the real antagonist is the Church, which eventually links back to the story.
This game ended perfectly, it does not need a direct sequel. However, what would be better is if they make another tactics which has nothing to do with this one, just like the main FF games have nothing to do with each other. Making another Tactics in the same world as Ivalice with a similar background would be stretching things a bit.
I think that Final Fantasy Tactics dont deserves a Sequel. It's a Master Piece. It's perfect... it doesn't need to add or remove stuff. The characters and the story have a nice development that no one can touch. And the best thing.... it's based in the Medieval real History. Actually, the Crusades were like that.
The ending of Delita and Ovelia was great! I was shocked... It gives you a great lesson about how to live. I love when games, books or movies do that.
Best Game ever. I dumped so many hours into this game, too many to count. I think I did most challenges(Solo Calculator, Straight Character, Solo Summoner, Solo Thief/Ninja, etc) This game was the best.... nothing can come close. Not Disgaea, not anything. FFT For Life.
I don't think any FF has had a more mature or complex plot since FFT. Kinda sad that they shy away from it when it was the most enveloping one of them all due to how intricate the story was.
When argath shot tietra ( sorry i don't know the original names i have the psp version) i literally ran up to her and used a phoenix down thinking it would work....... it failed, and i got killed for it
Tactics Ogre on PSP is exactly the same way for me. Easy enough to flick the power button off, but I get all caught up in the leveling and grabbing new loot. By the time I look at the clock again, three hours have passed and I'm astonished.
We deserve a 'direct sequel' to this story line. Not another master piece out there like this! Truly held back due to so many other fantastic games out there like this, but would love to see a FFT game that didn't consist of judges and little ass kids playing in wonderland! Maybe one day squarenix you will cater to the fans and stop giving us the bullshit you've been releasing for so long now..
@Omgwthamiwatchin So true. I played FFTA2 *just* for the FFT elements. The story was horrendous. What's a mid-20'something to play to bring him back?!
@Star841 Are you fortunate enough not to have played Xenogears yet? Because I only recently finished playing it through and the storyline had its wicked way with me in all senses of the expression. Quite probably the best RPG I've ever played in terms of plotline, at least on the PSX. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else is out there with that sort of feeling. A kind of mature storyline, but at the same time, with allusions and metaphor and background stuff... seems to be a thing of the past.
@Star841 xenogears will make you tremble on how awesome that game is. It will make you feel the emotions through its soundtrack, definitely worth the play, my favorite rpg of all time.
@Omgwthamiwatchin well man I completely agree with all you said except I've lost faith on Square Enix a long time ago and I just cannot imagine a revive of this franchise in this modern day (FF13 was the last straw). Maybe if the old Square Soft team reunited and made a sequel then maybe just maybe.
Reason why I blame Enix is because for some strange coincidence, that's when the FF games were losing in storyline and other qualities
@Omgwthamiwatchin Last I heard, the guy responsible for pretty much all things Ivalice, and all the games in that world, is working for Level-5 now so he can have more control over his games. More power to him, but I'm sad we won't see anything else (at least not on his level) in the future from Square.
@Omgwthamiwatchin The thing is though...how would you go about making the sequel storyline? (And, I think FFT has a somewhat sequel in Vagrant Story....)
@Omgwthamiwatchin Nope. Shooting games, cut scenes marketed as games, and cruddy cross-overs. Welcome to hell, hope you didn't expect good games to make it past the COD/Indie gaming phase.
@Omgwthamiwatchin Nope. Shooting games, cut scenes marketed as games, and cruddy cross-overs. Welcome to hell, hope you didn't expect good games to make it past the COD/Indie gaming phase.
@Omgwthamiwatchin Heck ya! I agree with you. When FFTA came out and I got it and encountered the judge system, much less the story, I nearly threw my GBA at the wall! What a wasted investment. The ending of Final Fantasy Tactics in so ambiguous it screams sequel. What happened to all the others besides Alma and Ramza? HELLOOOOO????!!! -sigh-
I have kind of trouble deciding between two classics:ff4 ff tactics and ff9.
Sometimes,i can't help but like the ff9 characters a lot,but i like ramza more than zidane and delite more than garnet.FF tactics clearly has a lot of nameless characters with backstory,but the ones that do have backstory are well written.
I keep fighting in my mind with ff9 and ff tactics and ff4 for second and third place of favorite.
@piromaniac9999 go with your heart...FFT is probably the most well written game ever. If it was a book you wouldn't notice the difference. I know deep down, you want FFT ;) I shamelessly admit its my favorite all time game, and im a critic, a positive one though at that.
@SnowFox226 What ever happened to games with narrative?
When you go into a village in ff tactics,you can find out about the locals and what is happening,through reading.I feel that this kind of gives a better description than being bombarded with overly long cutscenes.
@piromaniac9999 I'm probably going to go with IX then VI as my favourites, because I have a lot of fond memories about playing FFIX in my teens and along with another game it brought out my creativity. But Tactics is surely in the top 3, and your comment about narratives is absolutely right. It's what I enjoyed most about this game and dare I say even FFVII - the game that required an Ultimania Omega guide for all the plot to make sense! I like the sense of immersing oneself in other realities.
@Harkz0r Thats why i felt that ff7 was a weak link.
I was never an ff7 or ff8 fan.
FF8 has some stupid plot points,like the whole orphanage thing of everyone being taken care of by edea.
I heard it for the first time,and i was laughing at it.Then comes the really stupid cliché thing of losing memories because of the usage of gfs.Oh yeah:ultimecia was pretty predictable too.
FOOLS!! IDIOTS!! you voted me and i am involved with much death and destruction,and then kills the president.
@piromaniac9999 I thought that the whole 'losing memories due to GFs' thing was quite a bad plot point, although I appreciated the use of GFs in the actual plot. As a child it really bothered me to not know what GF Selphie drew, although the time travel thing was interesting to wrap my head around. Ultimecia was just a Deus Ex Machina - FF games have a bad habit of it. Even though I do love IX, what the hell was Necron all about?
@piromaniac9999 For some strange reason, I actually don't mind VIII at all. In fact, I quite like it, despite all its shortcomings. My only major complaint is that it's tedious in the beginning, and really fucking easy as soon as you know how the Junction system works. But I'd still prefer to play it than, say, XII again. Which is not to say that I thought XII was -awful- either, it just doesn't seem to beckon to me for the replay value. Maybe I'd play IZJS though. Haven't played XIII yet.
@Harkz0r Another thing that i hate about ff8,is the card game.
OH hell do i hate that card game.I want to go out and kill that son of a bitch who thought it was a good idea to spend hours upon hours getting rid of tedious rules that make it impossible to get cards,and then farm spells to junction with.I mean:What kind of fucking asshole does that? I've been spending hours upon hours farming magic to junction with.Spoonyone was right,this fucking card system sucks.
@piromaniac9999 Hmm. Most of the card rules don't bother me so much. I just play against the Card Queen at Balamb at the start of the game to get to trade rule 'Diff' or 'All' and just spread that out, and try to avoid accumulating unnecessary rules if possible. You can play against the guy sitting by the water in Balamb to 'reset' the rules. The only exception is Random. Whoever the shit thought that the Random rule was in any way a good idea needs to die in a fire.
@Harkz0r I'm replaying FF8 on my downtime now to reconnect, and I love it. But what I love more, is coming to my favorite FF game to hear a soundtrack, and reading how everyone is geeking out. ^_^ Totes on the Random.
@piromaniac9999 Though I must admit that another game I adored was the original Valkyrie Profile as I felt the scenes with the Einherjar were highly compelling and emotional. VP2 was nowhere near as good as the only account of them was a textual biography. But I find more and more that the immediately noticeable content of a game - graphics, cinematics - are very refined these days, but at the expense of all the little background details that create a coherent and complete picture.
@TheChickenWrap I first played this game in the japanese version, i didnt understand what the classes and many of the habilities did... And also, the boss classes had great advantages over the american version. If i recall, in the duel against him Gafgarion has the speed of a ninja (if you're the same level), aside from his Dark Knight abilities...
And yes, i also picked characters because of their looks. Like 3 knights in a team.
@TheMikon WotL's localization changes the dialogue to quasi-Shakespearean dialect - in order to preserve the themes of other Ivalice titles like Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII - and fixes many errors present in the original. The 'flowery' script isn't for everyone, but if you liked Vagrant Story's script then you'll enjoy this one (it's by the same guy).
There's also some additional items, side-quests, characters and a multiplayer mode. I say you should, despite some slowdown issues.
@TheMikon War of the Lions changes the text (which may not bother first time players, but I couldn't play it, it lost the nostalgia that I had from it) so I'd probably recommend either getting the original cd or emulating it. IMO Because WoL changes something that the original significantly had, it can no longer be considered technically the same and as such fulfilling the requirements of owning the game before emulating it would require hunting down a collector's item, which is asking too much.
every time i listen to this theme, it gets me ready for combat, also gets my blood running for battle. I want to grab a sword and slice an enemy like in tactics. I want to fight a few enemy with my group army, and for some reason be labeled a heretic like Ramza XD. but its a game so I cant really do it
"Never give up, trust your instincts!" Sorry, I know that is from a different game, but when I hear this song it is the line I always hear in my head. XD
I remember this random battle music well. I was up until the wee hours of the morning trying to level up my calculator and I hated when this track was played because it made me extremely drowsy.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which is electronic music inspired by great games such as the Final Fantasy series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
@Maximus54545 Haha, I was listening to the Game of Thrones soundtrack and The King's Arrival sounded familiar and made me think to search this battle theme. Also, I agree that it won't disappoint. Game of Thrones is one of the best shows on TV, hands down.
I hated the Algus fight. He fights you with his crossbow and hides behind everyone, especially those annoying black mages. FACE ME LIKE A MAN YOU COWARD!
@CarrionSpirit .. erm... jerk maybe... coward? probably not. In the beginning of the game a strategy of placing your "tanks" first and your more delicate players last is the best strategy for beginners, otherwise, you'll be torn to shreds by the cpu.
@captainatomistheOne I've been thinking the same thing for months now. Him and Delita were some of the most compelling characters in Final Fantasy. I think there were reasons why Square-Enix hasn't done so though, FF tactics isn't as popular as mainstream series, and though I love the games oddball art style, he really doesn't stand out alongside the other lead FF characters. It's also good to note that out of all FF lead characters, Ramza is the only one who is close to being a normal warrior.
Total beast of a track and definitely my favorite battle theme in the game. And to contribute to the general ant-Algus sentiments floating around this page, FUCK ALGUS. Seriously, is there any FF character as universally hated as him?
@Saber698 Even Tidus, as much of an annoying crybaby as he is, has his fans. I can count on one hand the number of people I've seen that ever admitted to liking Algus at all. He's a complete and utter arrogant classist fucking bastard, though, so he deserves all the hate he gets and more.
@PsychoBurgundy6 True, But of course. Some characters were MADE to be hated in a series, but some people like those characters, so yeah, I can see people liking either one, but most of the time, well...yeah. :T
I think Tidus gets a bad rap. I mean, think of yourself as him. You're a super star, use to the finer things in life. Alluva sudden, your hometown gets wrecked, everyone's dying, a long lost mentor shows up and drags your ass thousands of years into the future with no food, you're cold, have no idea what's going on and are using a sword for the first time to defend yourself against things trying to murder you.. I might be a little bit of a crybaby myself if it happened to me.
its true Gem why is it so hard to make a game that can even compare to FFT? FFXIII was SHIT. Period. and dont even get me started on FFIV when they still offer free months 6 months after the beta ended because its so bad...does anyone actually pay for FFIV online yet?
lot of people do. ff14 is not THAT bad of a game. depends on what you like. if you're expecting some wow clone, you're gonna be depressed.
the current "free to play" is a calculated decision. it'll pay off in the long run... the improvements are flowing in.
the real question is "why can't square live up to their pre-3d glory? 7 was fine. not the greatest story ever told. (that would be 4 imo) but it was alright.
Idea for the "continuation" of this game - The Lion War itself, where it was Larg vs Goltanna. This part can concentrate on Delita and how he climbed up the ranks. Ramza can appear during cameo screens. The major characters can be Larg / Goltanna's party initially as antagonists, while developing further into where Delita finds out the real antagonist is the Church, which eventually links back to the story.

WTF?? RANGED 100% HIGHER DAMAGE INSTANT ATTACK THAT HEALS HIM AFTERWARDS?
That's fair.

@KlausBass I don't think you know of the power of a 97 bravery martial arts ninja Ramza, do you?
But damn, back when I was young and I did what I wanted because my teams looked cool, that fight was hard. It took me 6, 8 turns to kill Gafgarion?

@TheMikon WotL's localization changes the dialogue to quasi-Shakespearean dialect - in order to preserve the themes of other Ivalice titles like Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII - and fixes many errors present in the original. The 'flowery' script isn't for everyone, but if you liked Vagrant Story's script then you'll enjoy this one (it's by the same guy).
There's also some additional items, side-quests, characters and a multiplayer mode. I say you should, despite some slowdown issues.

@TheMikon War of the Lions changes the text (which may not bother first time players, but I couldn't play it, it lost the nostalgia that I had from it) so I'd probably recommend either getting the original cd or emulating it. IMO Because WoL changes something that the original significantly had, it can no longer be considered technically the same and as such fulfilling the requirements of owning the game before emulating it would require hunting down a collector's item, which is asking too much.

every time i listen to this theme, it gets me ready for combat, also gets my blood running for battle. I want to grab a sword and slice an enemy like in tactics. I want to fight a few enemy with my group army, and for some reason be labeled a heretic like Ramza XD. but its a game so I cant really do it

@CarrionSpirit .. erm... jerk maybe... coward? probably not. In the beginning of the game a strategy of placing your "tanks" first and your more delicate players last is the best strategy for beginners, otherwise, you'll be torn to shreds by the cpu.

captainatomistheOne 8 months ago
@captainatomistheOne I've been thinking the same thing for months now. Him and Delita were some of the most compelling characters in Final Fantasy. I think there were reasons why Square-Enix hasn't done so though, FF tactics isn't as popular as mainstream series, and though I love the games oddball art style, he really doesn't stand out alongside the other lead FF characters. It's also good to note that out of all FF lead characters, Ramza is the only one who is close to being a normal warrior.

@Saber698 Even Tidus, as much of an annoying crybaby as he is, has his fans. I can count on one hand the number of people I've seen that ever admitted to liking Algus at all. He's a complete and utter arrogant classist fucking bastard, though, so he deserves all the hate he gets and more.

@PsychoBurgundy6 True, But of course. Some characters were MADE to be hated in a series, but some people like those characters, so yeah, I can see people liking either one, but most of the time, well...yeah. :T

@PsychoBurgundy6
I think Tidus gets a bad rap. I mean, think of yourself as him. You're a super star, use to the finer things in life. Alluva sudden, your hometown gets wrecked, everyone's dying, a long lost mentor shows up and drags your ass thousands of years into the future with no food, you're cold, have no idea what's going on and are using a sword for the first time to defend yourself against things trying to murder you.. I might be a little bit of a crybaby myself if it happened to me.

the current "free to play" is a calculated decision. it'll pay off in the long run... the improvements are flowing in.
the real question is "why can't square live up to their pre-3d glory? 7 was fine. not the greatest story ever told. (that would be 4 imo) but it was alright.
