Matsuno was such a chad mate. It's a shame that no devs follow the path that he opened, SRPG with mature political themes and cool customizations and all.

Front Mission says hi.

[@kingofnone8565]

@@dannish8119 I mean in fantasy medieval setting mate, not modern mecha one. Though FM games are indeed awesome and it's a shame they're no longer mecha SRPG since FM Evolved. And more than that, if we look a bit closer, the political theme between those two is also different IMO. Matsuno games are political drama akin to ASoIaF, they mostly feature rivaling noble factions, class conflicts, corrupt elites, religion, noble ideals vs utopianism vs good old power politics and such. On the other hand, the typical FM narratives are mostly about realism in international relations stuff: struggle for power and conflict of interests between nation-states and also other actors especially MNCs, realpolitik and geopolitical stuffs, the clash between state actors and non-state ones, etc. It is more classical realist scenarios than the Waltzian neo-realist ones for sure.

I remember in Tactics Advance there once one story mission that had a lamia that knew a skill called "kiss." This skill inflicted both the charm (enemy thinks they're on your team for 3 turns, or until they take damage) and doom (enemy will die in 3 turns) statuses. Every playthrough afterwards I always made sure to capture it so that my morpher could use that skill. Good times.

For the Wiegraf fight, I had Ramza moving side to side out of the guy's reach while boosting my speed and attack. He became so powerful that he demolished the Zodiac Beast before it could do anything. Truly the most Saiyan moment in Ivalice's history.

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

I did that as well, but focused after the boosting on stealing his gear before then trouncing him and going into the beast fight.

[@Toma58.]

Man beast wiegraf is easy since your party will be well equiped. The hardest fight in my opinion is the wiegraf on chapter 1. Im just chillin with the normal job skill (mage casting, archer sniping, chemist throwing, etc) suddenly wiegraf come with its holy knight art. Not only it is ranged, but there is no charge before executing the move, and he hit hard. I can cheese it after like 4 playthrough or more but the first three, excepecially the first playthrough, when i dont know anything, it is very hard. But while it is hard, i think my first playthrough are the most fun i had with my squire ramza (yeah from start to finish i stick with squire for ramza lol)

Great timing! I just finished replaying FF Tactics A2! It's a solid game, and I was surprised to find the post-game sidequests have actually a better story than the main game. I think they didn't want to bog down the experience and sadly sidelined their stronger content. Your retrospective makes me hope for a new Switch installment of the series! As you said, they have a solid gameplay loop, they just need the story and platform to accompany it. Imagine a dark FFT for the Switch!

[@kavinh10]

the perma death and monster poaching system in tactics was really fun, you could literally breed monsters just to harvest for material.

[@Laternater]

In case you don't know what an Isekai is it's defined as: Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world" or "otherworld") is a genre of light novels, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a normal person from Earth being displaced, transported to, reborn or otherwise trapped in a parallel universe, fantasy world, or virtual world, where they must adapt and/or assimilate into this new world, along with its new rules, cultures and philosophies Why he outright didn't bother to explain it I have no clue.

This just makes me want to play one of the tactics game I have 😍 Tactics Advanced was such a huge part of my childhood, having spent so many hours playing it with my late grandma. Such good memories.

FFT is such a unique game. It's like the most advanced version of Chess you can play. I've never played a game quite like it. It gets even better when you discover how difficult it is and how rewarding it is to figure out how to formulate battle plans. To give the game even further credence; the story is absolutely fantastic. It's a masterpiece of a game. Definitely in my top 5 favorite FF games.

Ultima III Exodus was HUGE, after Ultima II was incredibly successful. It was easy to get ahold of “cracked” copies of those games, and everybody who had a Commodore 64 (the best-selling, single-model computer, in history), an Atari 8-bit, or an Apple IIe (or their parents did) bought copies, even after getting cracked ones, which was unheard of, much like Fire Emblem, in the 1990s. I know from experience. How was your experience with personal computers, in the 1980s? Non-existent?

[@daviddaaannggg]

During the Wiegraf battle I also got stuck all those years ago too. Btw have they patched out that save spot flaw in WOTL? Anyway I overcame it thankfully by walking around the border of the map over and over raising my stats with Ramza who was my only live character. I remained out of reach of Weigraf, the only remaining enemy, and his attacks bc of the water in the middle. I did this for quite awhile til I said fck it and went for it. Ended up killing him in one strike lmao. I had no idea if that was gonna work bc I never used that basic stat boosting move bc I thought it was useless. I got so lucky the map was designed that way and such a move existed in my arsenal. I thought I was gonna have to start over too

So we are just ignoring things like Gemfire which was tactics gameplay back on the NES. In addtion Tactics Ogre also on Playstation not to mention the Shining Force series on SEGA. You had elements of it as well in Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen in terms of laying your squads and positioning of characters. Plus you had the OG X-COM on computers. So to say that FFT was the "first" is well. Wrong.

[@daehan8227]

Ever thought about doing a video on FF tactics War of the visions? You know that new Mobile game that Square Enix revealed. Now honestly the original FF tactics was amazing, though what would've been great is having Squall leonhart in ff tactics. FF8 and Tactics are tied as my favorite ps1 era FF. Knowing FF8 came out after tactics in 1998 while 7+ tactics were in '97. Could've been a nice cross promotion.

I was a huge fan of Tactic Ogre though I still prefer the original Ogre Battle to it Tactics Ogre was a brilliant game with a much better story. It is the main reason I purchased Final Fantasy Tactic and honestly, it's by and far my favorite Final Fantasy game. I bought and played Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced and it was enjoyable but it was also a huge step down both in story but honestly in game play also so I am not sure why you prefer it. I didn't even realize the others existed until this video and I am kinda glad based on the description of the story line getting worse and worse. Where as Tactics Ogre Advanced I believe had a solid enough story with seriously solid gameplay it was a far better handheld port than the FFT game was.

But yeah, I owe my love for Tactical RPGs to FFT.

[@lukew1383]

Final Fantasy Tactics is in my top 5 best games ever. It is a masterpiece. I was super excited for Tactics Advanced when it first came out and eagerly started my first playthrough. Halfway through the first fight, I realized the percentages for successfully connecting on an attack were lower than in Tactics. A lot lower. I was miffed as I watched my 65% success rate attacks miss 2, 3, sometimes 4 times in a row. That's not 65% success probability. I figured it would get better as I leveled up and got new jobs. I was wrong. At least not as long as I attempted to slog through it. After a few hours of losing fights based solely on being unlucky and having the RNG favor the enemy one too many times, I quit and never picked the game up again. I just don't find any joy in losing battles, not because I am tactically inferior (trust me, I did that enough when I started Tactics so I know what that looks like), but because the dice just happened to roll better for the opponent, despite me doing everything in my power to increase my percentages. Having an enemy surrounded by 4 party members and watching only 2 of my 12 attacks hit over 3 rounds while the enemies' attack hits EVERY TIME for 3 rounds, despite having the same hit probability, and killing 2 party members was the most frustrating gaming moment of my life. And I started gaming on the NES, so that's saying something. Am I crazy? Am I just really unlucky? I want to like this game so bad, especially when I hear rave reviews about it like this.

[@dianaburn2474]

Either something VERY strange happened, or perhaps your memory is off (sorry, it is a possibility, comes up in these conversations all the time)? Not sure how you played - if emulator, maybe that was an issue? If not, I'm not sure what happened there. It's been a good 15 years or so since I last played, so I can't recall the mechanics well enough to figure out what happened. But, I know that accuracy or strange favoritism toward the bot enemies wasn't an issue to me.

I can honestly say this game changed my life. I got it as a birthday gift when I was not even 10 years old and I have played it almost yearly since then. There's something so beautiful and enthralling about the game. I can't quite tell if it is the characters, the sprites, the stories, or "what if" questions I still have about certain characters. It all just comes together perfectly and I have never been able to stay away for more than a year at a time. I feel like this is not only a beautifully engineered game but a true work of art.

@@thecoolcario9048 . As much as I love RPGs, I think you are being very narrow minded, the answer to this is just that people have different interests, or preferences, people can say that we (who like RPGs) are so slow, or without reflexes, that we prefer to play games that have no immediate stakes or have a lot of action.

Did you play fire emblem three houses? If so, what did you find most enjoyable about it.

A warning about playing the psp version would be nice. ~Warning~ The PsP version has an notorious bug that slows down all processing (video and audio) causing distorted audio and out of sync battle animations every time a character uses a special ability (and i think also spell). This can make the game unplayable for many. The only solution is to patch a digital version of the game with a user made patch mod. To my knowledge, the Ps1 Classic digital download available on home console does not have this issue, but all War of the Lions versions do.

[@revlarmilion9574]

Not entirely correct. The War of the Lions version made for apple devices doesn't have this bug and is sadly the only one not to. The retranslation, if you're not willing to play a patched PSX rom with a fanmade one, is essential to experiencing the story the way it was intended, so the remaster is better than the original US release.

In the PSP version you can't steal the genji gear from Elmdore and that's enough to make it unplayable for me.

@@revlarmilion9574 The sad part about the Apple WotL version is that it lacks all of the cooperative multiplayer campaigns, which is all pretty amazing =/ Same for the pvp stuff, too. It's sad you can't get a version with the HD sprites + no slowdown + multiplayer campaigns.

@@ValeVin True. Sadly there's no legitimate way.

I re-played final fantasy tactics for the psp so so so so SO MANY TIMES. im still in love with that game and i really would love to see ramza again in a new game. It was simply such a fantastic game which 1000000% deserves a sequel. I miss that game so much

I like d the three games, but definitely FFT/FFTWOL was the best for me. The story, the gameplay, the characters, the HERO, the ending. One of my favorite games overall. I loved how FFTWOL added a lot of the things I thought were missing when I was a child: More interaction of the characters even after joining, Agrias meeting Ovelia once more (and that dagger, well done), Meliadoul confronting her father, Wiegraf recruited by Rofel, and Kletianne having an introduction (and an extra scene with Meliadoul), Beowulf and Reis having a closure to their stories, I was very surprised that most of what I dreamed in that game was fulfilled. Only one thing didn't happen, fixing Cloud as better Character, adding more story to him, adding Tifa, and adding a battle with Sephiroth. Luso was a nice addition. What's I didn't like from FFTWOL, Onion Knights, the requisite for Dark Knight, the lag, and Balthier (I don't like FF12 characters). The Advance games, I like them, but they aren't something marvelous either. The games are full of subquests that detract you from the real story, and the story of both games is not that great either because the real focus of the Advance games are the subquests. The characters aren't that great either, and you couldn't even name your generic units (I hated that). Nowadays I still play FFT a lot, sometimes if I am in the mood I play FFTA. I don't play FFTA2 anymore, the number of quests is just so overwhelming for me nowadays.

:0 what's wrong with 12 characters
