Is highlighting Final Fantasy Tactics' politically charged narrative a good idea in today's gaming environment?

The Nvidia leak was 4 years ago. They had 4 years to get it right. That's enough time to make a completely new game, but they preferred to make a modded version with voice acting instead. Bravo!

Maybe Matsuno has dementia. Or is delusional about the public perception of his body of work.
I mean, I could forgive and understand it if he see FFT and Vagrant Story as the same thing he worked on around the same time. Like maybe the whole Lea Monde thing was FFT's missing chapter.

It's like Kitase being confused about the whole R=U FF8 theory. He only remembers what he wrote, not what actually went out into the world.

I beat the game from start to finish when I was a teenager. I do remember it being pretty profound. It was wild to me, fresh from ff7. I guess it was my first exposure to political violence. In ff7 you're freedom fighters right from the start so all the violence isn't really unusual.
Fft is different. You're supposed to be helping your country rebuild after a war, after all. That rebel Ramza and Delita put down in the early chapters really got me. She was mad that her daughter starved and we killed her for stealing food, or something. As I continued playing and Delita, my buddy that my family lifted out of poverty, a good fighter on my crew, then his hot cool sister was dead, then hes dead, then we're slaughtering citizens because they're starving and we can't feed them.
Then the local engineers union is trying to kill mustashio or whatever his name is. They're not some gay modern union with lawyers and shit, these guys have handguns and wizards and guys who can punch through a steel plate mail to enforce their monopoly on trade. Then Ramza family gets deposed, then we're on the run. Not on the run in a brave little toaster kind of way, but on the run like the next five levels are my party retreating through a swamp to avoid the death squads.
A while bunch of other shit happens too. Pretty tough for s teenager to take. When we went from all that cool political stuff to fucking rabbit people in the next fft I kind of lost interest. Great game though, hope they don't fuck it up.

"Less fleshed out" doesn't mean completely worse.
Just because FFT had lots of janky stuff like the Zodiac system, grind-heavy skills doesn't mean its 2x better - just serves a different purpose.
Also the different races provided more novelty.
The law system is a bit wasted potential though.
FFTA had more varied objectives as well in some quest - while in FFT the only thing you should do is injure the boss hard enough before they retreat.

Honestly I swear FFT boomers are insufferable.

Fft also had a lot more grinding that the player had to do. Also because it was on ps, some actions took a little longer to do like casting spells. Ffta was snapier, brighter and made you change your tactics to fulfill an objective. I just think fft has much better writing and played its setting much better than ffta did, while you had to think more about your loadout and objectives in ffta. Ffta shouldn't have called it ivalice. Both games were still fun.

>Ffta shouldn't have called it ivalice.
While he did not direct it, Matsuno produced FFTA. Ivalice and FFT were his brain children, so it makes sense for a spiritual sequel to FFT produce by him to be set in Ivalice.
Had he played his cards correctly, Vagrant Story and FFTA would have built and set the stage for FFXII, which would have been the high point of his career, uniting all the world building into a grand masterpiece (FF XIV would have been the victory lap, and who knows what else), but alas!
Vagrant Story was a disaster. While I love it myself, even I don't have the patience to replay it.
FFTA was a perfectly fine GBA game. While it did not have as intricate a political plot as FFT, it makes up with mechanics and charm. You can say it was a success, since it earned a sequel and the world building was used in FFXII.
FFXII: Matsuno's shot as director of a mainline FF game. We FFT and Vagrant Story fans were going to have our moment... Mastuno chimps out and storms out of the project. While I like every aspect of FFXII, including the gambit system, and find the concept of a single-player MMORPG brilliant, most fans don't share the sentiment.
Matsuno could have taken over the franchise by storm, but failed. He would never direct another important game again.
Life doesn't always have happy endings. The world of Ivalice, like a dream or a memory, is relegated to the status of remasters and cameos, like the evanescent fantasy Ivalice in FFTA itself.

It does mean completely worse.
The rest of your post is complete nonsense.
FFT has a whole charge time mechanic to balance abilities around complete with tile vs unit targeting
FFT has way more damage formulas for weapons beyond Str x WeapAtt
FFT has better evasion mechanics with different directional evasion bonuses. FFTA just has general directional evasion.
It gets even worse if you account magic and status effect evasion which are extremely simplified in FFTA and rolled into one as race evasion.
FFT has more nuanced vertical tolerance for abilities and attacks
FFT has increased range for bows per 1 height difference
FFT has ranged attacks that can arc to go around line of sight and attacks that don't
FFT has map effects and weather that affect battle mechanics like night reducing bow accuracy and rain reducing fire damage
I could go on and on about how a PS1 game's systems are more advanced than a GBA's ones (obviously).

The new races are only sprite variance and they had to remove gendered sprites
New jobs are just old jobs split apart 90% of the time
Only new objective is to destroy something on the map and is used less than 5 times

I'll agree with you that both games are fun and you can prefer whichever you want. But people calling a GBA game more deep than its PS1 or PSP counterpart is just wrong. You can mess around a lot more in those.

The politics we want out of games bear not even the slightest resembance to the "politics" of Final Fantasy Tactics. Political storylines, political themes, even allegory is heavily divorced from the political correctness, moral browbeating and progressive social engineering that is shoved into today's games.
A game being about something was never the problem. A game being an exploration of an issue was never the problem.
By wallowing in your own convenient ignorance and repeating the same tired nonsense for the thousandth time, you are only revealing the depths of your own stupidity.
You have never been as smart as you think you are.

It was pretty nuanced, but only for the first chapter and a half and then it becomes about killing JRPG monsters. It would have been much better if it had continued how it started, and forced Ramza to take an actual position and make some difficult choices instead of just dodging sideways into the typical "save the world" plot.

As opposed to the whole bunch of broken skills that FFTA also has?
They are there so you can use them and mess around with them. Even better if you depend on them after restricting yourself from using the broken stuff.
You're suddenly trying to argue game balance.
>I still rate FFT more than FFTA but I think FFTA had more potential. FFTA had better worldbuilding while FFT story is largely segregated to Ivalice lore.
I don't agree but that's your opinion so it doesn't matter if i agree or not. I also like both games but I can't say I felt FFTA had more potential. Maybe you can expand on that to see your perspective.

>You get more content
You get a lot of the job advancement changed arbitrarily as well. The dialogue is also arbitrarily changed to some excessively verbose slop because the writers wanted to be "shakespearian." Moreover, the change of in-engine text-only cutscenes to the anime-slop voice acted cutscenes was a massive downgrade.

The "content" is either pointless, i.e. a few more characters that exist only as references to other games, implemented in a way that encourages grinding (something that normally wasn't necessary in general), or completely sucks, i.e. the undead Algus fight just cuz even though it doesn't fit. FFT did not need these additions and never did.

WotL is slop.

I mean it had a lot to say about aristocracy, that only sounds nonpolitical because odds are you don't live in a country with entrenched social heirarches. Grow up in Britain where a working-class person will be working-class their whole life even if they become a millionaire celebrity like David Beckham or Michael Caine, because of the way they talk or how they dress.

Not, only that, but the War of the Lions version should include a basic translation to give players the choice. They already know that there was controversy and a lot of people don't like the "acclaimed WotL translation" so forcing it on them is really stupid.
Also, a lot of people choose to play with Japanese voices and it's going to be weird hearing them say common phrases, but seeing multiple sentences of nonsense in English.

That's an exaggeration, as I'd still rather use original translation over WotL's purple prose bullshit any day of the week. But you guys do realize they're charging like 50 or $60 for this, right? I guess it would be awful if they actually had to do something to help justify the cost... And, hey, at least this way their other games with dubtitles won't even seem nearly as bad in comparison.

What I mean since they're charging a premium price, doing things like providing additional translations, and different options/features/ways to add potential value is just kind of something we should expect as consumers.
Even with problems the original translation is part of it's history, so it would be nice to include as a bonus either way. But the main thing is they know that many people have issues with the WotL translation and it's going to pair ridiculous with the Japanese audio, so not reworking it, creating a new alternative, or anything, while charging such a high price, just seems lazy/greedy.

No, they are absolutely correct. The left fundamentally does not understand the reality they live in. Through ideology the left spreads the notion that inequal outcomes are primarily driven via "oppressor" and "oppressed" class/identity schemes.

This of course, is almost always reductive and disingenuous. Worse yet, the motivations of this ideological narrative boil down to using these "oppression dynamics" to create increasingly hostile environments between the two classes. Ultimately resulting in the "oppressor/identity" group being disenfranchised, stolen from and often murdered. This has played out in just about every single Communist revolution.

The result of which often leads to entire industries being given to "oppressed" classes who then subsequently run it into the ground. This has happened in China, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, Russia, and on and on. The most insane example being them farms are stolen from farmers and given to people without the ability to farm. Truly amazing, the wonder of leftist ideology!

The leftist simply cannot understand that equality of outcome is inherently impossible. Identical twins often have inequal outcomes, despite being literal clones of each other. These people are dimwits who love the stranger and hate themselves, they deserve to be utterly loathed. No tolerance for leftists.
