 Playing Through Again and Just as Enjoyable! August 8, 2010
Christopher Barrett (Portland, Oregon)
Despite the game being over 10 years old, it still rocks hard!
My biggest beef is with the poorly translated script. Other than that it is nearly flawless.
There are dozens of reviews which talk about specifics, but here are my overall impressions circa 2010.
Pros: Music (amazing!), graphics (yes classic, squatty sprites rule!), job system is amazing, great variety of equipment, cool magic and special attack animations, great leveling system, secret hunt rules, random battles are nice, learning skills from slain enemies is nice, stealing strong equipment, weather effects your abilities, elevation effects, lots of maps, Orlandu, Cloud Strife
Cons: Story, easy last boss (though getting there is very tough), only 16 characters in your army, inability to send recruited NPCs on quests and jobs, quest system is a joke (the jobs you accept in bars), average summon animations, Rafa and Malak suck, kind of feels like cheating to raise your permanent brave and faith levels...
One of the best in the series March 27, 2010

The problem with a lot of classic role playing games is that they tend to become less fun with each repeated runthrough. Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the best non-MMPORG games I know of that is largely able to circumvent the problem of repeat playability. The unique battle sequence, a large pool of character classes to choose from, and a dynamic range of battle/gameplay options provides one with a rich array of possibilities and excitement to guarantee that you won't get sick of this for a while. Added to this is an engrossing story with memorable characters along the lines of what one has come to expect from Square's games. For those of us who like the music of RPG's, Final Fantasy Tactics offers the further perk of having a pool of several battle screen tunes so that we don't hear the same music every time there is a normal battle. The soundtrack is, by the way, also first rate.
Can't beat the classic's ! March 25, 2010
James R. McGee (Saint Louis , Missouri ( Midgar ))
This is one of my favorite FFT games, while the graphics are not extremely good it does not hurt the feel of the game as the gameplay stays solid even if have not play it for 2 years !
Great game February 3, 2010
Denise R. Mason (Allegany, NY)
This game is a little different from the other PS one Final Fantasy games. You have many characters and can send some on sidequests to earn money and experience while proceeding thru the game with other characters. There are jobs the characters can learn which give them abilities. The battles are different than early FF games and require more thought. The terrain in the battlefield varies and you need to be able to jump or do things like that to reach items.
A very enjoyable game if you like older rpg's. An asset to the FF series.
Don't pay $80 for this game February 1, 2010
Brian M. Pritts (Boston, MA)
You should definitely buy it if you are into the strategic RPG genre, this is one of the best. However, you can buy it on the Playstation Network on your PS3 for $10. No need to spend an insane amount of money for it, unless you are a collector.
