what am I in for, /v/ros?
An inferior Tactics experience.
>>723444289A shit game with a shit story and inferior in every way to the first one. I got tricked when I was younger to play this trash thinking it was like the first one and it sucked MAJOR ass.
>>723444324how do you mean
>>723444519Compared to the original:>extremely shit story>shit graphics>mediocre gameplayEverything is wrong with this game.
>>723444289kino
>>723445248>>shit graphicsbait
>>723444289A confounding law system: It's easy to circumvent by walking until you roll a favorable set of laws, and you can get access to cards that add or remove whatever laws you want, but it starts to be more trouble than it's worth and you start to wonder why it's here in the first place.Party of randos that are actually worth training. In the original FFT your party was always filled by your named main story characters so you can roll into battle with a whole 2 other specialists that you will play the entire game with. In FFTA you're usually free to take 5 clan members into any battle with you and with the amount of jobs available it's easy to amass a small army of high value specialists. A shame there isn't permadeath this time though, it would've made your randos feel a little more special.Moogles suck, Bangaas are the best, and I'm not a furry BUT
>>723445769same, I love themFF XII made them kino too
>>723444289>mfw I looked at the box art for this game as a kid and bought it thinking it was going to be at least in part an isometric RPG where you could explore towns and shitActual tragedy that this isn't the case. The art style would really lend itself well to an RPG game
>>723444289Fun
Isekai final fantasy, grinding to grow a gang mafia city style, and a protagonist who somehow tried to deliver a message of "you should be living in reality and not in a fantasy" that because of the circumstances surrounding all this shit makes him look like a sociopathic retard with no empathy trying to be a moralist for no apparent reason.
FFTA players are divided into two groups>autists that love to cheese and break an already easy game by min-maxing unit stats, builds and broken jobs combinations such as dual welding paladin to the point where one of your units can decimate a clan, story-wise these players agree with Marche>sub-80 iq browns that have trouble with laws, story-wise these players agree with Mewt/Doned (they often confuse one with the other or think they're the same) cause the game filtered them and they stopped playing, they often go "nigga I played it like 20 years ago of course I don't remember"
>>723445769More like there are no really unique characters(not even Marche and Montblanc) until postgame.
an alright game
we game
I wish I got into thisI wrote it off because it was less mature and felt lower budget than FFT
>>723446237
Bangaa slitfucking
>>723447790well it likely is lower budget. Much of the team was actually from TO
>>723444289It's kind of like Final Fantasy Tactics but worse
>>723444289>>723444289I just beat this last week. Meh.A lot better and deeper than I remember from launch but the equipment level up is garbage, and the game pushes quantity over quality. Last boss was too hard for me, I'd save your JP points for it. Jobs depend on level so dont just use the same 5 characters over and over again. I didn't relize that till halfway through.Hope you enjoy it more than I did.
>>723444289God that looks so beautiful. Why don't we have pixel art that anymore?
>>723445769>A shame there isn't permadeath this time though, it would've made your randos feel a little more special.I know 90% of gamers are save scumming cowards but I wish this was in all games. Could not agree more. You should play BG1 with no revives, completely superior experience.
>>723447893Kek, my man!
>>723448654Huh?
Bravo Kojima
>>723444289Get yourself a Juggler, you won't regret it.
>>723444289Assassins with Concentrate.
>>723444289There's some story fights where you have to use the main character, so don't bench him for other characters and end up under-leveled like me.
>>723451274I would never
>>723444289it's fun. play it, especially if you liked the original, IF what you liked about it was mostly the gameplay. the story is nothing special, minus a few memes. the party formation, making broken builds with good synergies, the niggas-on-a-grid gameplay, that's all still fun.plus there a few nice musical tracks as well.https://youtu.be/QIGMzr7Yj1k
>>723444289Homesick kid genocides local class-conscious fantasy world developed over several games as an after-thought.
>>723445769>A shame there isn't permadeath this time though, it would've made your randos feel a little more special.There is during one specific mission. I forget the specifics, but It I think that map completely lacked judges so any characters that die are permanently removed from your party.
You get to cripple a kid, it's pretty based.
Just know the job system is tied to the race so don't fuck up like me and load up on bunny girls (although they get snipers and assassins so they're busted as shit anyway)
>>723444289A really fun job system which is the best part of Final Fantasy
>>723451874there are a few of those areas in the game
>>723451874
Play One Vision
When moving on map and reaching fights, pay attention to current laws. If the laws are bad, like banning your MC's weapon or skills, take a few steps before commencing. The laws change on every step
>>723452198Is this the snes version? Game was so ahead of its time.
>>723452198this
>>723452309Its a mod for the PSP version, unironically better than the Reborn remake.
>>723444289Probably my favorite GBA game, and that's saying something with that library.
>playing a gameboy game with CRT filters
>>723444289Is it far fetched that Square Enix remasters FFTA?
>>723445769Red mage/ summoner is probably the most broken combo.>double cast giga-fuck-you summonsBangaa are great too, though. I love them gator fellers.
>>723452528I'm afraid you will have to cope
>>723444289If you can get past the "chibi" cute grafics the game still has tons of stuff that actually expands from the ps1 original
>>723452528OP should be using scanlines and a color correction filter>>723452621Maybe as HD-2D since they've been doing a lot of those
>>723452681Ah man that blue UI is pure nostalgia for me. I was obsessed with this game as a kid.
>>723452735the game itself already has different colour modes
>>723444289I was not a fan of how psuedo open the world was. It was like a prototype open world game. And I maintain that open world is the biggest cancer in the gaming industry.
>>723452413Not good. DS makes damage hurt less based on where you are attacked. It made positions matter and is in some ways better. Both are quantity over quality encounters, lackluster storey, and annoying job ability level up based on equipment.Like Banjo tooie I can see why people who played it as a kid loved it, you could sink 300 hours in it it if you had no repetitive bordom reflex. I'd question any adult who played it as an adult saying its better though.
>>723444289The best OST in video game history. I still listen to the uncompressed FFTA2 album.
>>723452621Id bet on it with time but it also sounds like the FFT remake flopped though v/ definitely over uses that term, so maybe not.
>>723452975pretty sure it sold well across all platforms
>>723452397I fucking hated the cards. If its card free I could see it being awesome. I loved that first chapter when you could do whatever you wanted, peak trpg. The next 3 chapters with 1shot bosses you needed cards, breach and items to defeat got old fast though.Its why im curios about the snes.
>>723452997Belive matsuno joked on twitter that if it sold a million he write the sequel or something. Also said he be interested in a prequel about barbaneth Cid and the 50 years war. Realistically though most the SE interviews they done about the game leading up talked about wanting to do more tactics games. Plus they went through the trouble of making the engine that runs it so business interest kinda wants to see it reused. IDK if we ever get a true sequel but another tactics game either advance remaster or some side story game seems certainly in the cards. At the very least its probably a good guess that SE wants to get the ball rolling on the Ivalice setting again.
>>723452975The vibe I got is it sold decently.
>>723448691>You should play BG1 with no revives, completely superior experience.NTA, but interesting. Hadn't even considered that.
>>723451274Marche always ends up as my best melee character. I take him through thief and ninja to get the double swords skill, and then go soldier to fighter to use blades so I can dual wield the Ayuvir Red and Blue and take up the mantle of the Hero Gaol. They aren't actually the best weapons but it's close enough and feels cooler.
>>723453079No retarded system with cards spawning that buff youenemies sometimes turn into cards when they die which give you permanent 0.7 to mind or some other stat
>>723451925Working legs is escapism
>>723452784>I was not a fan of how psuedo open the world was. It was like a prototype open world game.You can't be serious.
what other games look as comfy as the tactics advance games?
>>723444289>what am I in for?A huge fine for illegally downloading intellectual property owned by a company that you did not pay for.
>>723453459Redwall of course nothing beats mouses in medieval era combat & gigantic forest & abandoned humans settlements
>>723451874all the Jagd locations are lawless and cause perma death
>>723453348I couldn't do it with 2 as there arent neatly enough characters. 1 works though, forces you to both use and love every one.If at any moment you could lose a character, it even makes boring repetitive parts exciting.Id recommend starting with 6 custom companions, you'll need everybody you can get.
>>723452413TO reborn is actual low effort garbage, if you want a real balanced game with lots of additions play the one vision mod for PSPFor your question about ffta, it's kinda worse than the original FFT. The game is aimed at children and everything is pretty streamlined, jobs are easy to unlock and etc. The story is not very good either. It's what you had if you owned a Gameboy advance though. Not the worst game ever but it doesn't compete with fft or tactics ogre one vision.
>>723444324>>723444395>>723445248Man this place used to love this game back in the late 2000s. I never played it, always enjoyed the pizza cutter memes
>>723453542I should give these books another look after all these years. Seems like it's even gotten a few games with good reviews on steam
>>723453079The One Vision mod is a total overhaul of the game. Im in mid chapter 3 and there certainly haven't been any 1 shotting bosses and I dont think Ive ever used a card. The whole thing is meticulously balanced. Autistically so. It's great. Everything feels so good to use. Buffs and debuffs are definitely still heavily in play, though there's tons of new ways to apply and use them, and they've all been reworked. My Warlock and Ninja debuffers are actually currently my favorite units. The ninja in particular is just ridiculous. She walks around the battlefield and throws stops, binds, and stuns around like candy, silencing casters with blowdarts before chucking free sleep grenades. Ive actually started using her damage ninjutsus too. Shes one of the units I made by using a high Intelligence and Mind unit to bodysnatch a new body with high physical stats to make a super powerful hybrid. I did that with my Warlock and Terror Knight too.
>>723453459Not comfy but Wasteland 3 blew me the fuck away. After BG3 not sure why it wasn't bigger.I litterally repeated every mistake George Bush did in Iraq which was a mind blowing experience only these games can give you.Was told the DLC was bad though.If thats too different than FE 7.
>>723453613The game is GOATed, now we just have contrarians or the savestate spammers who avoided dealing with Laws and never learned the game.>>723453542Based>>723445769All the outlaw mudshow areas have permadeath
>>723453710How do you do the bodysnatch thing? Did you start with a human and then took a reptile? And they can still turn into ninjas? Do they keep the human job choices?
>>723453813The game is crap tbqh, it's a bottlegged final fantasy tactics. Animals have no god.
>>723453613If you played it as a kid and never went in with FFT expectations, I could see it. Us millenials got fucked as when we were kids Japan was seinen, than when we were seinen aged Japan was shonen. Felt like a double step back.If you were Shonen aged during Japans shonen age, it must have been a golden age of media.As is this game, Fullmetal Alchemist and death note can suck my dick.
>>723454037This guy never grew up
>>723453842In this one particular map in the woods dungeon there are these two unique necromancers who drop magic daggers with the bodysnatch ability, you just use them like items and you swap bodies with whoever you target, but keep your original body's Intelligence and Mind stats. I recruited faeries and ghosts who both have very high base mental stats to use as the base, then found new bodies for them that had high strength/dexterity stats. This is one of the many, MANY features added by the One Vision mod. I think in the original only the Ogre Blade had the bidysnatch ability, which you only got in the very endgame. It sounds OP but really it just let's you get generic units with stats on par with the unique characters. Plus in One Vision stats work totally differently, with classes leveling up instead of individual units. The main difference between different units is just their base stats (which class levels add to, depending) and their their mastered skills.
>>723453710I got to play this. If it kept up the fun of chapter one I'd finally get this series hype.Im starting yo think modded classics is the way to go. I really want to see what FF 1-9 has too.
>>723453901Great visuals, great music, blasphemously huge amount of content, very open-ended gameplay, tons of characters but they are all fully fleshed out, story is told in a way that respects your time and doesn't force you through 30mins of dialogue, unique theme and original ideas, if played properly the Law system teaches you all sorts of strategies and ways to use game mechanics, tons of secrets, etc
>>723454104Im here forever and so are you. I just hope biz can pull a repeat and help you as much as it helped me.
>>723454140Yeah but I mean how do you turn then inti ninjas later? Do faeries have the ninja job and keep it when body swapping?
>>723454335>>723454104I dont. That zoom zoom sounds like a dumb faggot who deserves his poverty.
>>723454189Are you high? None of the 'tons of characters fully fleshed out' in this crap are any different than generics.
>>723454160Ive been having a blast. Actual wake up, play vidya all day, go to sleep, repeat kind of days I haven't experienced in years. This particular battle >>723452198 really busted my balls. The goal is just to kill that one character, but she's hiding behind two tanky as fuck golems with upgraded rampart auras that keep you from walking past them. I tried like three times and they just pinned me down while I was slowly overwhelmed. Finally I put a ton of mobility skills on my units and busted out the fairy dust for levitation and tried pushing up the watery side of the map. The golems finally broke their positioning and I managed to catch her out of position to kill her.>>723454467The bodysnatch ability literally swaps your body with another and the old one becomes hostile. They were faeries and ghosts before, but their new bodies are human with human jobs.
>>723454609>blasphemously huge amount of contentThis tells you it was baby's first game. Hes not wrong, but thats the problem with it.
>>723444289>"Stop coping with fantasy shit, face the real world, chud!"
>>723454701Was that your octopus or the enemies? Can you capture monsters?That was the only one I got but I loved having a navy when I played.Trick I learned from tactics ogre.
>>723454701So your new bodies with 'high dexterity and str" were just humans? I thought humans had average dex/str and you'd go for something like an orc
>>723453813>All the outlaw mudshow areas have permadeathNo they dont you dumb fag, they just say they do to excite dumb children like you.
>>723454853The octopus is mine, yes you can capture and use monsters. The octopus in particular is an absolute menace, I love what they did with them in One Vision. He has a water bubble that hits like a truck and a water beam that hits in a line that can wipe out half the HP of several units if you can position it right. Both of those abilities he can only use while in the water, but I even use him on land maps too just because he's a reliable wall of HP that hits hard up to 2 spaces out.>>723454883Yeah, just humans. And I mean high physical stats by human standards. Lizards and orcs definitely have higher strength stats, but they dont have access to a ton of jobs that make use of high int/mind. The orcs do have the patriarch class that can cast, but I think orcs look a bit goofy. I plan on using a lamia for my patriarch.Here's an example of how stats work in One Vision. On the left are the units base stats, this unit has very good Dex, Agility, and Avoid. On the right are her stats after being modified by whatever class she is, the level of that class, and her equipment.
>>723455341One thing I highly suggest to anyone who does check out One Vison is to use this cheat code. All it does is funnel a greater share of the XP you receive when you finish a map to lower level classes. It will save you many hours of pointless grinding to level new classes and prevent your higher level ones from getting overleveled as you do. I cant imagine playing without it and they even advertise using it on the mod's website.
>mewt's dad's daytime drinking got censored

Still, you can make him a Time Mage/Animist so don't think he's worthless.

>>723456090Do NOT play JP version if you want all the post-game content. Still pissed about that.>>723456228This.
>>723459659...it is.
>>723444289Make Marche a thief early and learn and master the ability "Steal" early, so you can get some OP secret items throughout the course of the game -- you will probably need a guide on which specific enemies to rob in which specific missions because it is not obvious. Oh, and a guide on map placement as well so you don't miss some secret items also, due to the Treasure Hunt mechanic
>>723460745You should do that shit on a second playthrough instead of torturing yourself only to break the game and probably fuk it up even though you spoiled it with guides because you didn't completely understand what to do and all guides for this game have minor errors that can fuk you.
>>723445769The law system pissed me off the same way escort missions in Spirit Tracks did.>Follow these arbitrary rules because we say so.
>>723452528What now tough guy
>>723461443>Deal with the Law system>Realize it forces you to learn all the game mechanics and different strategies instead of just letting you grind and cheese or just try to brute force and hope the RNG is on your side
>>723444289A great time. I hope you have fun, OP.
>>723453079I remember liking the card system since I love tricking my enemy into violating it. 2nd game removed that feature so it's a bit of a shame.
>>723444289
>>723444289Kino.>>723444324Tactics gameplay is barely serviceable while advance games are actually good.
The laws in the sequel were much worse. They don't even affect the enemies there.>In FFTA prohibited Fire only stops you from casting the Fire spell.>In FFTA2 instead you also get banned from using any other Fire elemental ability and weapon. Not even counterattacking with a Fire damage weapon is allowed.Then FFTA2 has some laws like no knockbacks when every other attack is a critical hit that automatically knocks the enemy back and don't get me started on the "no missing" law.
>>723444324You clearly never played, fuck off you attention-seeking insufferable loser.
>>723462938Did these colors simply cease to exist after this game? Why is everything so dull nowadays?
>>723463532Yeah but the penalty for breaking is just you lose a buff and can’t revive

>>723444289no calculator job in this game made me sadthat aside it's still fununits dying only in a certain type of area was weirdviera sexo
>>723445769I always thought permadeath was gay BUT only because it only applies to you. You should've been able to permanently kill those fuckers trying to raid your jagd territories.
>>723463532leaving aside absurd ffta2 laws, what bothers me is this:in ffta the laws change, if you're about to fight someone and you don't like the laws, you can wait until they're more favorable to youin ffta2 the laws are static, if a fight against monsters has the "don't hurt monsters", you'll have to break it to win
>>723464405Yeah but they only do that on missions where the objective is unrelated to defeating enemies so you can’t trivialize it by killing all the enemies first
>>723444289constantly looking up Gamefaqs after every story mission to make sure you don't fuck up the map
>>723463770it's oversaturated to work with the shitty GBA screen, realistically everything was a lot darker
