[wcip Wrote:Angel,Aug 23 2003, 07:49 PM] I've never played FF tactics, and therefore I have some questions I hope someone might be able to answer me:Don't whiz on the electric fence.
1. Why doesn't this game have a roman numeral like all the other FF-games? What makes this thing different?
-----------------------
This is a strategy game, as opposed to a role-playing game. Different genre.
-----------------------
2. How is the storyline compared to regular Final Fantasy-games.
-----------------------
All FF games are characterised, if not defined, by having a plot to save the world from some horrible foe or another. This one however is rife with political conspiracies, backstabbing, and generally really deep plot and good writing.
----------------------
3. Is Nubou Uematsu involved?
----------------------
Possibly. I'd have to look through the credits again.
----------------------
4. When was it released and for what format, Playstation, or PS2?
----------------------
97-98, PSX/1
----------------------
5. I love Final fantasy VII and VIII. They are easily two of the best games I've played, and Final Fantasy X was also a lot of fun. Will I like FF Tactics?
----------------------
I'd rather ask if you've played Shining Force, Ogre Battle, or Tactics Ogre. Those are the comparable games in the genre. It has little in common with other FF games except for the following exceptions;
Included - Chocobos, moogles (as a summon), summons, Cid reference, Job Class system from FF 3/5.
Not included - Underclothed women, a child character, real time battles, limit breaks, deep character backgrounds (except for main character and NPCs - this is the downside of your expected party being a hero and 4 generic, randomly generated goons).
