    Use your Tactics to the Advance to Seal the Rift of the....what? 0

    So after writing my article on the DS (found in my blog, somewhere), I inspired myself to pick it back up again and carry on playing some of the games I never finished (of which there are probably hundreds, but that’s not the point.) One of these games was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift. Not only is this possibly the longest title I have ever come across in my life, but it’s also a pretty damn good RPG game, considering it’s on the DS. But then, for a Square Enix game, I w...

    One of Generation 7's best tactical RPGs. 0

    Nobody could have predicted the popularity of Final Fantasy Tactics when it dropped in 1998. It was a highly complex game in a genre that was not well-known in the United States and required a higher level of tactical thought than any previous game in the Final Fantasy series. Its character graphics were 2D sprites in an era that demanded 3D models. Its story, while engrossing, was difficult and covered some very dangerous ground. Surely it would be a one-time shot for Square, set out in a limit...

    Mostly light-hearted stories and fun tactical battles 0

    (www.plasticpals.com) Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is another installment in Square-Enix’s turn-based strategy role-playing franchise. As expected it shares more in common with its GBA predecessor than the PlayStation game (now available on the PSP and iPhone). It’s one of the best examples of its genre, but each game in the series requires a big time commitment.Taking a page from The Neverending Story, a young boy named Luso is transported to the fantasy world of Ivalice when,...

    Mediocre At Best 0

    I don't know whether it's me or not but it seems that strategy turn-based RPG's may no longer be my thing. In other words, I might not be interested in them as much.Personally, the game started out slow and was slow throughout most of the game. I had to force myself to play. I suppose it might've been the main story plot. I really enjoyed playing the offshoot story plots because those were much more interesting than the main story plot. Thank goodness for those side missions!The graphics are sup...

    Annoying at times, but it's great fun and has 400 missions. 0

    Positive: - you'll never run out of things to do - story is nice - very addictive - lots of new jobs and abilities - both screens are used for maximum convenience - new law system is great, but... -Negative: - actual laws range from rediculous to mind-numbingly stupid - other little annoyances here and there that hurt the experience a bit - the graphics look ok but they're not completely upgraded from the GBA - no multiplayer - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (FFTA) was the defining game for the G...

    Great Sequel to a Great Game 0

    I couldn't wait for this game to get to the United States. I played the hell out of the first FFTA and did the same for this one. It has everything that was great about the first game and made it even better. More classes, more races, more items and more quests. The story is great too, and has a much more likeable maiin character this time around; Luso Clemens. Just like the first one he gets sent to Ivalice via a magical book and has to find his way back again. There are good supporting charact...

    More of a Square Enix remake than proper sequel. 0

    Yes, it seems that another DS title slips under the radar for many gamers, save for only those dedicated tacticians and Final Fantasy fans. And to tell you the truth, its ok. This game borrows  much from its predecessor: jobs, weapons, abilities, and enemies. The game is already to deep for any newbie to fully enjoy and veterans will feel a little ripped off even with its hundreds of missions.STORY: 3The story revolves around Luso, a mischievous boy who gets transferred to a fantasy land by way ...

    A Highly Addictive game 0

    So the game to come after the ledgendary Final Fantasy tactics advance and it lives up the name its a great fun game which can be played for hours. The only problem is that all of the missions were to easy as I did every mission when I could and when it was available I leveled up extremely fast and the enemys died well easy.Graphic- The graphics are'nt that much, based on the old games graphics improved a little they are quite bright at places and plesant.Sound- Most of the music is imported fro...
