after playing FFTA i started FFT and i must say anyone who prefers FFTA is an inbred retard. let us count the ways

>FFT deep complex political intrigue story unlike any other in gaming. FFTA bratty cripple gets mad at world and throws a tantrum that fucks over everyone including his own brother
>FFT you build jp points to build up skills that you purchase and get rewarded for saving up JP to buy big spells early. FFTA you learn spells through equipment (jesus fucking christ) forcing you to scroll through equipment constantly to see what teaches what and forces you to progress to unlock newer equipment
>FFT cool spells like bahamut and meta classes like calculator. FFTA muh pets and morph into pets durrr
>last but not least, FFT DOES NOT HAVE LAW SYSTEM GARBAGE TRASH GARBAGE TRASH MUH JO DMG TO BEASTS ALLOWED BUT FIGHT IS AGAINST 5 BEASTS HOPE YOU EQUIPPED COUNTER AND WILLING TO STAND THERE FOR 30 MINS HOPING IT PROCS

FFTA miss % also idiotically high.
only good things about FFTA = more species (even though more moogle and reptiles are borderline useless)

You lost me. The story of FFT isn't remotely deep and pretty much amounts to
>rich and powerful people suck but also people who only care about getting power suck
>Also demons
I'll never understand why people overrate it so highly. The actual political stuff is so in the background and ultimately pointless that the people who hype it up are just weird to me.

I agree, but

FFTA isn't an amazing example of storytelling but that anon did say Gift was one of the deepest in all of gaming. I could have picked at a few of his other points but ultimately I don't feel strongly enough about either game to bother (they're both fine, like 7-8s out of 10).

Simple as.

>pedophiles
it's a compliment

>>12600469
Not saying FFTA (and FFTA2) is better than FFT, but people tend to overhype FFT too much and downplay FFTA/FFTA2 too hard. Which is why I basically agree with >>12600556 about both being okay.
>FFT deep complex political intrigue story unlike any other in gaming
Even ignoring the rest of the media, Matsuno himself handled political drama better in Tactics Ogre (with three story branches). Matsuno also wrote a much better "magical shenanigans" story in Vagrant Story. FFT is a poor mix of both - Ramza's storyline permanently tanks right after Chapter 2's ending (Lucavi are the dumbest villains Matsuno wrote, they do dumbest decisions to achieve their goals and Matsuno has to deus ex machina everything for them to actually achieve their goal) and Delita's storyline is okay ("you turn into the thing you hate the most" plus crazy siscon projection) but it only works because Dycedarg is a greedy retard who fucked up EVERYTHING for White Lion's side to lose in every way.
>FFTA bratty cripple gets mad at world and throws a tantrum that fucks over everyone including his own brother
At least FFTA sticks to its "escapism is not healthy" idea from start to finish. Can't say the same about FFT where "da demons" just tank the story's quality that was set with Chapter 1 and first half of Chapter 2.
>FFT you build jp points to build up skills
And yet it's the biggest flaw of the game - jerking off in the corner for hours to grind JP. Plus you never take off that JP Up passive outside of some tough story fights.
FFTA/FFTA2 fixed this by giving a set amount of JP at the end of fight.
>FFTA you learn spells through equipment
Yeah, it's called FFIX system. You're comparing apples (FFT skill learning) to oranges (FFTA/A2 skill learning) and whine about oranges.
>FFT cool spells like bahamut and meta classes like calculator
So to you FFT is better because it has better hardware and broken classes..?
>FFTA law system
Yeah, it sucks; FFTA2 fixed it.
