They should remake FFTA. Discuss.

>>713857803 (OP)
Fuck no
While FFTA is better than FFT (base version - with mods to unfuck the balance and fix how shit the AI is, it's better), we've seen how SE 'remakes' games
Look at the shit of Tactics Ogre Reborn
>removed a class to enemy only
>removed the 8 skill slots
>removed spells to the point you can only have 4 active per character
>buffs/debuffs are primarily now in battle cards based on an RNG system if they drop or not

I only preordered FFT: TIC in hopes that square made a FFTA a faithful remake one day.

I love more FFTA2 more than the original FFT btw

>>713857803 (OP)
Why? so you can hate it?

My goddess

>>713857803 (OP)
>remake
Hell no. I'd say "unless they remade TA and TA2 together" but that makes no sense. There's barely any connecting lines between the two. Just fucking make TA3 already. Give it to the Triangle Strategy guys or something, just make sure to dock their pay for every word they write so they keep it brief.

>>713857803 (OP)
NO MORE FUCKING REMAKES

Bump

What the fuck is gravely wrong with it? Why does everything need a fucking remake? You're all like an army of wind-up dolls. Remake remake remake. Shut the fuck up

>if I still am the human that I was in the original world then it's fine
>turned into a zombie and got farmed over and over again, can't even voice your own opinion

>>713865167
all of the people in that town got isekai'd, not all of them as cool adventurers, many of them are just the random normies you see in the background or people hiring you for all the sidequests. if you take those zombies named after the bullies in the intro as fact and not a just a gag some of them ended up as fucking monsters
>ok, but even if i'm not top of society, its a magical fantasy world so its better then being a nobody IRL right
every aspect of the games actual writing paints ivalice as a complete shithole. its a place where you get sent to jail (a jail so bad the game automatically ends if marche is sent there) for healing your sword wounds because that was randomly made illegal today (intro where marche says the L-word). corrupt judges give criminals immunity from these laws to literally comit crimes unopposed (post game storyline). sidequests show that monster attacks are so bad people ask heavily armed mercinaries to walk their dog and deliver mail, and that the country is actively being invaded by foreign powers. not that it matters because government sanctioned gang turf wars mean people are fighting in the streets all the time (clan turf mechanic) and the government is too busy on shit like randomly making the laws even worse because the prince felt sad or having a holiday where everyone in the kingdom needs to give him a present (main questline). even trying to live inawoods just means that you're able to actually get permakilled by assassins in a jagd, which is the only thing that makes this a fun adventure setting for marche and ritz instead of something grimdark. marche threw away a position of supreme privilege/power to ensure 1000s of people got to escape a nightmare situation, he's a hero
>ok but it was a dick move to make his brother a cripple again
his brother is a piece of shit who sells marche out to bounty hunters without even checking if he's wanted for a good reason, literally the first time you see him he sells you out.

>>713865352
Tactics demastered's additional scenarios? Yup. We're linking Ivalice to 14's abomination. Buckle up buddy.

>>713864793
I just want ports so i can play them again on a modern tv without having to fuck with emulation. I still have a lot of my games from decades past but no way to play them because even for the games i still have the console for i dont have a non hdmi only tv anymore

>>713861472
What if they Remade FFTA and TO the Knight of Lodis together. They were made on the same engine and look very similar in game.

>>713859553
TO made really drastic gameplay changes everytime it gets re-released/remaster/remade for some reason.

>>713859553
>>713857803 (OP)

I wish there was a port that made it less bright and better quality music. Gameboy advance was way too fucking bright with tinny music. That's all I need.

>>713861472
It's honestly sad that they have the literal perfect IP and assets for a perfect Rekoeition game and don't have one executive smart enough to use it. FFTA3 could be an RPG/Simulator game where you have very little story, but instead just your bevy of classes and heroes as you allocate resources both common and rare, travel throughout Ivalice encountering monsters and bandits along the way, accepting requests from towns to go do hunts or escorts or gather special materials, etc. Every day your Clan could get a bit bigger, with new recruits being commonly available, and as your Clan increases in size, you'll even be able to task redundant/extra members out to doing menial tasks or going off on missions supplemental to your own so that your massive clan is actually all doing stuff at once, and maybe have some goal of defeating some demon god or whatever so you can aim towards it. The absolute /dream/ would be to go fully Mount and Blade with it, starting your party off as a bunch of nobody freelancers who eventually can engage in various kingdoms in actual war, overtake the continent, and your final win condition is total dominance of Ivalice.

>>713859553
What's the best version of TO to play? The steam and PSP version both suck.

>>713867161
That's honestly not far off from what TA2 was. Luso's entire story was "just go do shit bro it'll solve itself" and was given the freedom to run around Ivalice, collecting retards for his clan while doing whatever. Stopping an invasion, helping an old man beat a chicken, winning some tournaments. All that while doing normal "clear out the monsters" quest on top. The """main questline""" was an absolute nothingburger, the equivalent to a party member's sidequest in any other game. And I honest to god love it, it's my favorite in the series by a large margin, so I agree with you. If they leaned into that even harder, I would have no complaints. The formula was damn near perfected for TA2 as far as I'm concerned. Now you're making me sad we'll never see it.

Based as hell, honestly. People forget just how atrocious that GBA backlight was, you basically needed to play with sunglasses on. And don't even get me started on the audio compression-sounded like the instruments were dying in a tin can. A port with proper brightness calibration and a remastered soundtrack that doesn't murder the original compositions would be peak. Hell, toss in a colorblind mode and a speed toggle and we're good.

>>713869348
And then it came back around for Marche's faggot "friends"

>>713869501
They were just defending their world from the villain, aka Marche

>>713865749
It was actually much worse before the law system cause the clan wars was destroying the country and actually killed everyone in multiple cities (Those were the Jagds)
Also Donned have every reason to stop Marche since he wanted to cripple him again, not to mention Marche's excuse for doing it was pathetic, of course the crippled kid would get more attention.

>>713857803 (OP)
Only if they remove the law system. That alone ruined the game.

>>713859553
That was the last problems of the reborn. The biggest was and is that they didn't remove enough of psp bloat and at the top of that they fucked up formulas and magic elemental school and ai using it.

>>713857803 (OP)

What more would you want removed?
They stripped it down a ton imo

>>713874198
>>713874198
Compare it to OG part and you will see. They should cut off more skills, come back to gender locked classes(aka male Dragonslayer/beast tamer Vs female beast slayer/dragon tamer), remove weapon skill grind or specials.
But the real fucking disgrace is them not fixing formulas or fucking them in general.
Fucking nips

>>713857803 (OP)
they should make some kind of ff tactics game, remakes are boring though. Can't they just make a new game?

Tactics, Tactics Advance, and Tactics Advance A2 were all cool games. A2 was a bit boring I guess, not a lot really going on with that one. But it's time for a new game, one with something going on

>>713874648

A2 is the better game.

I actually wouldnt have minded it if it affected the enemies in the game in any way, but no they can literally break laws as much as they want and it doesn't matter, they can't get red carded out of a fight

Childhood favorite that holds up. Great gameplay, charming visuals, good music. Say what you will about the story, but it's thought provoking enough to spark discussions on escapism up until this day.

middle schoolers wear bras

are there any must have romhacks for FFTA 1 and 2?
Also I just don't understand why Square didn't just make a robust engine designed for Tactics games with FFT and Tactics Ogre in mind. Then they could just keep modifying it to adapt it for FFTA remakes and even the lesser known titles like Knight of Lodis

>>713857803 (OP)
No, it's fine as is

Can't make classes gender based as far as I know but at the very list you can individually manage skill experience gain, and remove skills you dislike by modding the PSP version.

>>713869631
Doned wasn't a full paraplegic, he had rickets. And didn't take his medicine for it to monopolize his mom after his and Marche's dad either walked out or died. Kid was a shitheel and Marche was right to throw that back at his face.

never even tried the game because it went from young adults to playground kids, but I may as well give it ago since this thread inspired me.
Can't be worse than Hoshigami.

>>713885061
Also ultima. And assassin has ultima with great bows, two other insta kills, and arguably the best stat growths in the game. Then there's summoner with double cast that can kill everything on the map in one turn.

I wanna like it but the graphics are just vomit worthy. Octopath tier garbage. Why do devs insist on these kind of horrible fusions. Either make a pixel art game or make it 3d. Mario + rabbids kingdom battle actually looks fine for the genre, or even the advance war remake. This level of fidelity would fit fft.

And one of the worst things that was dropped from psp and reborn version was troop building. In psp generic are just weaker than named and you can build them up anyway, and reborn nerf semi OG system anyway

Not really but you're free to enjoy it more

I really don't like the tonal shift but as I said, I'm going to ignore it and give the game a fair shake. I had a GBA Advance too, I just never got around to this one.
At least the backgrounds are very soulful, as much as I hate that term.

>>713886916
FFTA is less ambitious than FFT in both its systems and the story it tries to tell. That said if you treat it like a fun GBA game it is just that. Very addicting.

>>713887846
I'm trying to ignore it being called anything related to FFT and approaching it that way. My bias from the sequel to a politically charged Matsuno story of intrigue being this instead is strong, so I am trying to leave it behind.

>>713888053
You can view it not as a sequel but as FFT mobile for kids.

>>713865167
>ESCAPISM IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!

>>713886994
no I mean one with some writing. A2 has no writing compared to Tactics Advance or Tactics

>>713857803 (OP)
they should at least release it on the fucking VC

>>713887808
There's nothing like that in the game

>>713887846
Both FFTA games are far more ambitious than FFT in terms of gameplay, I like FFT but the Advancd games totally eclipse it in terms of content

>>713872638
there's only one instance when the Judge system is a hindrance in the whole game and is when on early game you are unfortunate enough to roll a no attack law.

if you can't work around the judge system after that you are a genuine retard, and this comes from someone who isn't the most versed nor the brightest bulb on the tree.

>>713888825
>Both FFTA games are far more ambitious than FFT in terms of gameplay
No they aren't. They have extremely more simplified mechanics. FFTA2 might have more sidequests but FFT and FFTA have about the same amount of content.

>>713888825
Not just that, personally while FFT is leagues above on terms of plot and character development the visuals on both FFTA are amazing for a 16bit console and a 32bit one.

>>713887113
>gooner coded game
>not beating the allegations
>bro is cooked frfr

>>713889117
There is no Brave/Faith or spell charge times, but in exchange you have things like Laws, Clan abilities, combo attacks, and some other stuff. Also some interesting classes like Morpher and Blue mage

>>713889332
There are also simpler mechanics that are completely missing. Archery elevation bonus/penalty, Evasion consolidated into a single source, Status effects chance calculated very simply, Weapon damage formulas all being the same etc etc.
The games are good and you can have fun but I could experiment with weirder stuff in FFT and build more stupid crap.

Outside of Assassin, pretty much every job is really good and useful
FFT has broken as fuck shit in some form with barely any job being useful

>>713894192

No, there were always tons of retards spouting "ESCAPISM IS LE BAD", Marche being the villain was more of a joke than anything.

>>713894840
That's a very narrow approach to the argument but even then you're wrong.
You exaggerate a lot to prove your point but ultimately both games had broken skills and jobs as well as useless skills and jobs. I'm sure Gadgeteer was super useful.

>>713894953
Because they're just repeating what Marche said.

>>713872306
In general or because there are specific ways to do it to min max the rewards?
In general it reflects the artifice of the world, that parts of effectively doesn’t exist until you need them to at which they are written into existence in the grimoire.

>>713895321
moogle

>>713889890
But then how will you get people to actually replay the games to realize Marche is shown to be right instead of continuing to parrot memes based on how they think they remember the story going

>>713872306
It's a fun mechanic for world building if you're a child.
But you can also pull up an optimal map setup and just follow it and forget about it, if you're getting choice paralysis or something.

>>713895321
I have to know what Nu Mou are built like under those robes

>>713895887
Always liked the designs of the flintlock moogle, and even entertained the idea of a squad of them marching onward to decimate a clan, sad thing their gameplay its really bad as they have to "prepare" a shell before firing it, wasting an entire turn, hardly making it any viable and a boring slog if so.

>>713897030
I dunno you'd have to be more specific about what you liked or ask questions about FFT.

No, it's a bad port with terrible hit effects, play the mod that adds most additional content from WotL. Or just get a fix for the translation and play the original.

>>713897156
Tactics A1+2: S1/S2 Editions

Frimelda

Frimelda Lotice's side quest in A2 was great, and she is pure sex. I wish there was more fan art of her. I love both FFTA and FFTA2.

No they shouldn't. End discussion.

>>713897239
>play the mod that adds most additional content from WotL
Wait, but isn't that TLW? The lion war hack. While WotL is the port.
>be more specific
I guess I'm asking if it'll feel very outdated or too clunky to enjoy after getting used to ffta/2 jobs and qol.

>>713897765
>>713897846

>>713897936
But what if they added the new jobs from the short lived mobile game

Favorite class combo?
For me its red mage summoner

>>713897846
>>713897765
Her quest is so late in the game I think a lot of people end up not really getting to her. But God damn a Paladin that comes with dual wield out of the box lol

>>713898045
I'm a sucker for completing a lot of side content, but the quest line involves a lot of people even the cantankerous Viera witch.

>>713877054
Glaze my fucking bumhole you fucking child

>>713896754
yeah, it's a shame they don't bring much of worth to the table, meanwhile cannoneer is way less slow/committal and works just fine as a hybrid ranged support with either ether shell or mortar. moogles got cucked out of their own invention

>>713898045
Which is ironic in a game where a Paladin is much stronger using Geomancy with Paravir skills

Ritz's MAGICAL and SEXY bare FOREHEAD

>>713897954
A toast to all Frimelda enjoyers.

Ritz was such a brat

>>713897951
My bad. Didn't expect you to mean The Lion War mod right from the start. Stupid mod name I swear. Play that instead of WotL if you want the content yes.
As far as QoL goes, inescapable and unavoidable random battles (short of save scumming) is one that will annoy you. There is a fix called Smart Encounters but I don't remember if TLW had that implemented.
Another QoL thing would be paying attention to your save. Unlike FFTA and A2 there are instances where you'll have to do many battles in a row. You cannot go back and buy items or train skills until you beat them all and if you save in-between you can potentially soft lock yourself. Just be aware of those instances and keep another save ready.
Obvious stuff now but it's surprisingly important. Get used to your controls. Much information is hidden behind pressing a button on some menu (job requirements, spell's cast time etc). Things will seem clunky if you don't know how they work.

>>713897765
>>713897846
Great taste.

>>713898029
Red mage, elementalist. The debuffs from elementalist are surprisingly good and trigger often. Disabling, slowing or immobilizing 2 units with doublecast is very good crowd control.

Alright that doesn't sound too bad, and good to hear some reassurance that TLW is actually good. Thanks anon.

>>713898967
>The Lion War of the Lions
Yeah they kept that name stupid on purpose because the author hates the WotL translation.
The issue is that i'm not entirely sure TLW fixes the original translation, so you might actually want TLWotL...
It's been a while.

>>713898045
>>713898132
It's honestly a shame you have to slog through so much of the boring main story to get into all the kino side quests.

>>713894625
Mine was Misty and Launch, fag. Im saying that a fully clothed pretty anime girl does not make it a "gooner game". If you see porn every time you see a girl, that tells far more about you.

Tough luck. Reborn + whatever mod you can manage I guess. I think by now people can remove the RNG cards.

>>713857803 (OP)
fixes i can think of:

allow you to reposition map nodes in post-game to claim missed out rewards

Judge system has no permanent penalties to character stats

enemies are also affected by the judge system

all quests replayable once beaten including being able to reclaim the Mission Items from them (you can unironically brick your save if you use some of them to do quests you already cleared before)

increase max capacity for mission items holdable

if your weapons/armor/skills get stolen you should be allowed to steal them back, or reclaim them upon killing the enemy who stole them.

aside from this an end game mode that generates battles randomly would be fun instead of the exact same enemy placement but different laws in affect.

>>713898029
Blue Mage+Item
I just really like Blue Mages

>>713898029
i like to start with a thief who can steal skills, weapons, armor, basically everything

then once i get the ball rolling i switch to whatever class i feel like and always have a large set of skills available to me, i just leave the thief skills as the secondary since if you steal your opponents weapon they don't hit for shit.

>>713902076
>you can unironically brick your save if you use some of them to do quests you already cleared before
As a dumb child I had a total of 3 saves, all around 200 hours ( one of which was overwritten since only 2 slots)
Every single one is bricked before I hit the 300/300 missions to unlock cid. I'll ever not be mad

absolutely built

>>713902987
i looked up a guide and it is shockingly easy to do it, the game almost pushes you into doing it even since missions are on a rotation and it can take a while for the correct mission to appear while a series of old ones are mixed in, it encourages you to replay old missions but you brick your save if you do the wrong ones.

>>713903221
You don't brick your save by redoing missions, you brick it by throwing away quest items from missions that you can only do one time. They don't let you redo missions that require an item for entry

>>713903221
Yeah, I remember the 3rd time I actually got really close because I finally realized some of the rotation stuff, but still remember messing up somehow. That would be my most wanted fix in any remaster but as some other anons were saying they should just give us a third one

>>713857803 (OP)
I literally don’t give a fuck about the new remake bc it’s not ffta

>>713902076
>if your weapons/armor/skills get stolen you should be allowed to steal them back
reminds me of a dream I had one night where I was playing FFTA and it was just back and forth between the enemy thief and mine stealing the same sword lol

>>713903361
throwing out mission items to make room since you can only hold 30 is the easy way to do it but you can absolutely redo quests that consume missions items.

the issue is you don't know which ones don't have reappearing quests to obtain more of said item.

yeah you can beat the main game even if you fuck up but you will never do 100% completion on that save file, in theory you can salvage it by linking to another gameboy advance with a save with said item but then they would be put in the same situation if they give you one of theirs.

If they remake it they should give us some calvary class that aren't shit like Moogle Knight. Maybe dragon rider, panther rider, wolves rider, Lamia rider,... Oh and maybe give our clan a mobile base that we can improve overtime and where all the clanmates hangout

>>713867658

>>713894840
>FFT has broken as fuck shit in some form
this is good though
>with barely any job being useful
every job was useful

>>713902076
i think i remember bricking my save by not having a shovel because i got rid of it for something and not being able to clear one of the quests that required it and thus being locked out of the 100% content

>>713903674
I've stumbled my way to 100% completion 3 times. You can only lose items if you delete them. If you notice 3 or 4 items that have repeated quests, like chocobo skins or ghysal greens then you never delete something important. The 100% savefile you can easily lock yourself out of is recruiting every unique unit. Doin all 300 missions is not hard even with no guide.

>>713904398
>You can only lose items if you delete them.
yea, which is something that happens

>>713904474
It does, but if you have 30 then trust me you have some duplicates like magic cottons or magic cloths. If you do delete the first thing on the list to make room then yeah. But even without a guide if you pay a bit of attention it'a not that horrible.

>>713904625
cool
go back in time to tell me not to discard the random unassuming shovel i had that locked me out of 300 because it was a one off quest reward
literally what is wrong with you defending this situation

What? FFTA is one of the few GBA games with TV Color modes designed for the Game Boy player, so you can change the color palette to look nicer on a backlit screen. Or do you think those suck? I thought they were fine.

>>713867120
The GBA's sound chip is kino as fuck though. Play soundvoyager and M3 if you really want to appreciate it. The bright colors also bring out the game's atmosphere desu, TA2 looks like shit in comparison to 1. It also looks worse than Knight of Lodis.

>>713879145
>Say what you will about the story, but it's thought provoking enough to spark discussions on escapism up until this day.
I like to imagine that the story of this little GBA game will still continue to be debated about long after we've all passed away.

>>713907523
there's literally nothing wrong with the scenario in pic related
would post the entire pic but 4chinz complains it's too large

>>713908313
there is. partially that the thought experiment is moot, the brain gets sick of the same stimulus quickly. people don't shoot up heroin after the 10th time because it's as good and escapist as the first time they did it, in this case you'd build up tolerance and be in a pleasure hell which is already what most social media addicts experience.

Im not saying not to fap or find things attractive retard, Im saying that the connotation of a "gooner game" is that the majority of the reason for getting it is to goon to it. And obviously FFTA is not that. Of course Ritz is hot, but its not like most people got it primarily to beat off to her.

>>713859553
The problem I had with FFTA is that other than laws, which were the living definition of artificial difficulty, I had no reason to really think about what to use or who I built outside of "it looks cool". While FFT was far from perfect, they throw your ass in the fire pretty fast with some relatively difficult maps like Garland, the Magic City. Another problem with FFTA is that skillsets are super limited because the game simply trickles in skills, and if you want your army to have a certain aesthetic such as "moogle army" your class set is also very limited, where as the original FFT only had locked classes from unique characters, and bard/dancer being gender locked. Never at any point short of laws cucking me, which became trivial closer to the end game anyway, did FFTA ever really feel like it was testing me.

There is nothing wrong with a generally laid back experience, hell Der Langrisser is a retardedly easy TBS, even compared to the original tactics and tactics advanced, but it is both easy, and generally boring with no super fun ways to break anything like the original tactics had, and worse sounding music to boot. It was supposed to iterate off of what was there not feel stripped down.

>>713911839

Can you truly call such a man a villain in good conscience?

>>713908607
>the brain gets sick of the same stimulus quickly
Kinda dismantled your own argument there, considering "real life" is also the same shit over and over, and at least in pleasure Hell you can change things up whenever and as much as you want. There's no argument you can make for staying IRL that can't also apply to escaping IRL with the added benefit of never having to grow old or die. Anti-escapist fags are fucking stupid, as always.

>>713865167
Marche is a woke communist who destroyed the reactionary shonen-tard power fantasy that Mewt was living in and he noticed the power imbalances that was at the heart of it. Marhce would post

Ritz and Mia from Golden Sun made me feel funny as a 13 year-old

FFTA and A2 Viera's designs are really cute. I especially liked the Assasain. It's a game-breaking class with the right abilities/equipment too

>>713889779
He's the bad guy because he imprisons them in their past lives.

Marche was right. Mewt's Ivalice was a mistake.

>>713920643
I wonder why they made the portraits and job art less detailed in FFTA2. Its something that bothered me a lot when trying FFTA2.

>>713926586
Would it be possible to remake them as a bundle since they seem to run on the same engine with similar art for the sprites.

>>713896890
mature? i said it should have some writing. can't you read?

>>713927018
>>713927018
Yeah that was a headscratcher. In terms of the game though I like how useful they made Elementalists with the status effects and how many monsters were weak to wind/earth attacks

>>713857803 (OP)
>>713859553
FUCK Tactics Advance. The stupid rules and judge shit is fucking annoying. I remember just trying to use a Blood Sword in this game and the jannies would fucking nag me about it, so I never got to actually use the goddamn sword. This game is fucking trash compared to the original and the story is stupid as fuck.

>>713879145
>>713907523
People only talk about the story because of how retarded it is and how badly it executes the core theme of the game

why don't they make a new tactics game anyway, those games are great. the fuck is squeenix even doing

>>713927018
>I wonder why they made the portraits and job art less detailed in FFTA2
Different artist?
Or maybe it's the usual, switching from traditional to digital.

>>713857803 (OP)
if FFT does well, I'm sure they'll remake this too. Easy way to keep releasing stuff while your newer games take so long to make

>>713859553
>FFTA is better than FFT
roflmao

>>713895321
FFTA's artstyle was so fucking shit compared to the originals

>>713925436
Yeah, A2 may have missed the mark when it comes to the story, but all the side stuff shows some serious effort in worldbuilding.
A lot of the sidequests really should've been part of the main quest instead, especially Duelhorn and Adelle's quests.
Also Frimelda should've appeared much earlier and been a mandatory party member.

>>713929675
The sidequests were the redeeming factor for me in A2. I almost didn't want to continue with the main quest and wanted just to continue the more compelling storylines. I rally wanted to get more into Adelle's past. Oh well

>>713860181
You're a dumbass. Buying a lazy AI filter applied to pixel graphics just tells Square they can just rerelease old games until the end of time.

>>713930071
>I rally wanted to get more into Adelle's past
Same.
And to think her backstory has originally supposed be Luso's but they thought it'd be too generic for a protagonist, so they just gave scraps of it to Adelle and we got Luso's picnic through Ivalice instead.
What a waste.

>>713931787
Yeah. I still really like her as a character, it just kind of fell flat towards the end. A new FFT is on the short list of things I'd love seeing a out-of-nowhere surprise new game. I don't think they believe the series to be profitable though so it's a true longshot

>>713895887

>>713904849
Kek calm down I wasn't defending it. You just make it sound like it's very hard to 100% complete the missions.

I love both games tracks, but this one stays in my head from the very first mission in A2. I fear though if they remade FFTA's music it won't be as good. A lot of remake soundtracks are misses imo. https://youtu.be/luT-fS_fJM0?si=bB6ZeJI93x-AL1fp

>>713936039
lol

>>713865167
Hey faggot.
Marche was right.
Verso was right.

>>713937921
yeah I'm a huge fan of both tracks. A2 did a good job balancing updating tracks from the first game and utilizing the SP's capabilities for the new stuff it brought.
https://youtu.be/wnrz8LXdIaI?si=RNEf6_8NjXOZmIG1

>>713857803 (OP)
Im playing these right now! They are not good games. DS is close but still misses. I just find they really aim for quantity over quality, items break it, weapon upgrades are dumb as fuck, and leveling breaks it. 6/10
That said the DS system where rear attacks hurting more instead of just being more likely to land makes formations critical which is kino.

>>713857803 (OP)
They should only do the following:
> Upgrade the resolution.
> Add skips to text so you can replay it faster.
> Make it playable with M+K an add Controller Support on PC.
DONE! I'll buy it and heck if they did the same with FFTA2, I would buy them in a pack. Already got both.

>>713940598
> I hate when RPGs allow me to upgrade my abilities to the point to I am able to break the game with some forethought in a tactics game.
anon, really? That's the fun of FFTA games, you get to mess about with broken builds not found elsewhere other than Disgaea.

>>713940831
I have read your request and will consider adding it to my projects
any particular D&D edition or just 5e? Custom FF classes or system default?

>>713940940
I get what you are saying and agree. I mean if you use the same party it breaks it, if you try to spread out you are underleveled and fucked. I just found it tough to hit that sweet spot.
I get some Anons like raping games and its neat you can, I just wish it wasn't one of two options.

>>713941071
Whatever Solista was, make it nice and easy. I love that low budget game.
Id say Default FF1 classes and spells but the fighter would only have 1 move the entire game so that could be a fun issue.
I just think they would combine well, as the first FF was built on DND and had dungeon crawling dungeons.

>>713941593
Solasta uses 5e, so that
there might end up being more nuance that press A to fight

sucks that the only good seeq build is the item flipping x potions

>>713941782
Yeah I really wanted to use that race a lot more, but they just aren't that useful overall (beside the potion flip stuff). Not saying they're worthless, but I felt myself having to justify keeping some of them around, which is a bad sign. Good design though

>>713942851
> Not just waifu-fagging with the female species.
Heh missing out.

>>713942851
great design, especially the comic relief viking class. woefully underpowered though.

>>713943045
I really enjoyed some of the personalities of the jobs coming out on some of the side missions. Again the side missions were far more entertaining in A2 than the main quest, which is pretty funny

>>713942934
that actually might be interesting if I had a lot of free time. What's the most amount of Viera you can have on your team and beat the game?

>>713923894
If that were the case then they could make fighting illegal and police it as diligently as they do the current retarded law system

Which has the cuter girls, Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre?

>>713936162
Yes, some of them are incredibly useful

>>713944489
Tactics for the nobody mercenary you discard, Ogre for actual characters.

>>713895321
Gria > Aegyl > Feol Viera > Seeq > regular Viera

>>713927890
I don't think FFTA2 did very well, the people who bought it mostly liked it but for whatever reason there was a dropoff from FFTA

>>713944909
The gameplay is still fine but setting the Tactics games inside a book is gay and 2 had grimoire in the title

>>713857803 (OP)
you'd think they would've done it during the isekai boom

>>713944909
This. If there isn't enough audience for it, a big studio isn't gonna sink resources into it. A new FFT would be a big investment nowadays and why risk it when it there was no suggestion that it would make enough money

>>713945812
>A new FFT would be a big investment nowadays
It really does not have to be and treating it as one would likely lead to it's failure
A new Tactics could easily be pumped out on a tiny fraction of a modern FF game's budget and would then almost definitely turn a profit
They know there is an audience which is why they're shitting out a remake but when that underperforms because people are getting sick of remakes they'll use that as evidence of a lack of interest in the genre

>>713946124
(((modern audiences))) (i.e. normalfag surckers who crave moviegames filled to the brim with eyecandy) would not play a game with GBA/SNES graphics. sadly, squeenix is deadset on attracting said subhuman scum that doesn't even like video games

>sure FFTA2 is the best game ever
>but the story man, is just not that good
You don't deserve good games.

>>713947152
I don't even remember the characters of A2 let alone the story. Gameplay was indeed an improvement from what I remember.

>>713857803 (OP)
The new title should be...

>>713861053
Isnt her name ritz malheur or sometbing

>>713947983
I only remember Adelle the Cat and I remember the evil sword witch but not her name. Illua? maybe

>>713948124
fukken saved

>>713948070
Why would you not hate a brother that will happily sell you out to people that want you dead at literally the earliest opportunity?

>>713865167
Someone had to do something to make sure the subhuman wasn't allowed to escape the fate genetics laid out for her hair

you got a whole sequel

>>713947152
The story might as well have not existed. In fact I earnestly rate that as the strongest element of it. Every single memory I have of FFTA2 was some kind of battle or the silly auction system. The fact that I still remember Cinqueler as a concept despite having not touched this game in seven years is the specific reason I will swear by A2 being the best. Games with nice stories have you remembering the narrative that guided you along, games with excellent gameplay make you forget or simply not care about the story.

Final Fantasy A3 on switch 2 and steam would probably sell pretty well

>>713941753
Would be fucking awesome.

>>713950985
Im fascinated after BG3 success Square had zero intrest.

>>713895321
The racial classes gave me a much bigger appreciation for the world of Ivalice. I had a much higher respect for Fran in FF12 and I was much disappointed you didn't get any other races. They did Bangaa dirty by making them hoodlums, where were the heavy armor big weapon lads in Tactics Advance?

>>713936039
their pixel tech is undeniably god tier but i just can't into woman+chinese writing

You can check on the map the current laws and consider if you want to do the battle with them on. If you don't want, you can take extra steps on the map to rotate the laws.

I'm surprised so few anons realized it.
