FF Tactics: The War of the Lions

[tenkenchild15]

Just got the remake of a classic ps1 game for psp.

The new shaded cell animation is gorgeously done and fits the game perfectly. The new english translation of the game is far better than its earlier counterpart, and makes the game flow much more smoothly. Additionally, new parts of the story have been inserted into the game to make the storyline more complete. The new job classes look great and I can't wait to use them. Even the ridiculously slow battlefield loading times have been fixed. And of course, Agrias Oaks is as awesome as ever.

The only problem I've seen so far is a slight slowdown in gameplay whenever special attacks are executed on the battlefield, which was not an issue in the ps1 version.

Overall it is a great game that promises hundreds of hours of inventive gameplay. Currently one of the best games out for psp, besides Valkyrie Profile. If you have a psp, seriously consider getting this game!

Updates:

The new Dark Knight class is awesome. It can absorb health from an enemy, and sacrifice its own health to strike up to 9 opponents simultaneously. Although it does not have the range capacity of the Holy Knight, it has more power.

The Samurai class has been beefed up considerably. The Samurai's Iaido ability used to have a 20% chance of shattering the katana, but now it is only a 5% chance. Couple that with the fact that the Kikuichimonji Iaido has the best non-magic attack range in the game, and you have one devastating class. Also, the Samurai's Blade Grasp ability now works against projectile weapons, making physical attacks against Samurai utterly impossible.

Onion Knight is the most useless class ever. Why did they even bother adding them?

I wish they had a better ending cel-animation movie. I wanted to see more Ramza+Alma action.

And as expected, they got rid of the duplicate-sword glitch. No more dual-wielding Chaos Blades for Agrias. T_T

The thing to get around that is to play missions with multiple PSPs: I don't know about chaos blades, but I think you can get multiple genji stuff for basically free like that. It's stupid that they make you use multiple PSPs, seeing how we take turns anyway, but it's one way to get by.

Well, now I just have to find someone else with psp fft. The only person I know that has the game is too lame to play with me.
