Final Fantasy Tactics A2 for the DS!!!

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2

Any thoughts on it compared to the recent release of the Lion Wars? I hear say that Lion Wars was the series perfected. I don't have a PSP so I am not sure but I want to go buy one now just to get it.

On the subject of the tactics games, which did you perfer and why?

I liked the Playstation release of FFT the best so far. The reason being, is A) Anyone could be any class B) Tactics. You had to time everything with expert precision and C) The story was much more intense and enigmatic.(at least for me.)
I've been playing FFTA alot lately and really enjoy the concepts of learning skills as it eliminates "Grinding" for abilities. Plus the ability the way it opens up new classes is neat. I believe that ergonomically it make more sense to go by level as it represents knowledge in a particular class, but it is still neat and quick. I do admit though that this version is not as challenging as the PSONE game.

FFTA2: The Sealed Grimoire isn't out yet.

Here is some info on it, though.

Some highlights:

Besides the vibrant, crisp colors and clear audio that we previously reported on, A2 sports a few other features not found on the GBA prequel. The first is the ridiculous range of options to choose from. There are seven playable races, over fifty job types, over five hundred different abilities, and over three hundred quests to choose from. And instead of two types of missions, there are now six.

While many of the options are different, gameplay itself is pretty much the same. Like in Tactics Advance, battles are turn-based and take place on a field divided into grids filled with items and traps. You'll fight on these fields as part of a "clan," and can access a special set of abilities that help your clan members at the beginning of a fight (if you have Tactics Advance you can insert the GBA cartridge into your system along with your DS cartridge and gain a special clan ability). By the way, it's important to keep track of all your actions on the battlefield, because the game is scrupulous in monitoring each and every one of your moves, and it will affect your party's clan rank throughout the game.

All in all, I am looking forward to FFTA2: Sealed Grimoire.

I still have to play FFT, though.
 
Oh, some good info from the March Nintendo Power.

Unlike in Tactics Advance, however, the Ivalice in A2 is not a dream world, and since it's part of the Ivalice Alliance many familiar faces (such as Vaan and Penelo from FFXII) will show up in the game.

I can't wait for A2. I want to see how they used wi-fi in this title also I didn't think it was possible to make vaan even more femminine. after seeing the character art I was proven wrong.

I paid my reserve off today! :D Cannot WAIT to play this! Unfortunately I don't want to fail my class, so I will have to wait at least a few days until I don't have class to start it.

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Hands-On Preview

The quizes aren't until Tuesday, though. You can pace yourself, right? Just like...for every one hour of FFTA2 that you play, study for an hour. Or something.

Well, my problem is easily solved by the fact that I still can't find my DS. :-\
 
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Hands-On Preview

I wish I could afford a DS, I'd love to play this game. I just gotta control my spending lol Can't help it, too many freakin' games coming out so close together. Maybe next time :)
