that looks pretty sweet. although i kinda liked the look of War of the Lions better. but since this is a direct sequel to tactics advance (is that what the A2 stands for?) I think the storyline would be decent.
and tactics will play better with a stylus, imo.
is that the boss battle theme for final fantasy XII I hear playing at the end?

Final Fantasy Tactic A2, the A2 means Advance 2.
This story is believe is the sequel to the GBA's one, which is Final Fantasy Tactic Advance.

hmm.. i dont like the fft advance. i wish they had the prequel to the war of the lions on nds

i prefer tactics ogre over final fantasy tactics for the GBA but from the look of the videos..the nds sequel looks promising. wonder how the gameplay is gonna be like.. oo ya btw, which came out first (in terms of original idea and concept) ffa or tactics ogre?

the man behind final fantasy tactic actually created tactic ogre.

ohh, i din kno tht. no wonder the game is so similar. and i thought ffa copied the idea from tactics ogre. thanx for explaining, bidfordun. u r very sifu gamer. hehe

Not really impressed with the graphics. The GBA could probably handle those. Let's hope the gameplay makes up for that.

Has someone played the game yet? How was it?

final fahn-tah-she tarc-tics..... hahaha
i love the way the japanese speaks english, so cute

not bad..played chinese ver..hope english ver wont change the scene again like previous FFTA

tried the ENG version (Ahem).. not bad graphics.. feels like GBA FFAtactics.. with extra add ons on graphics..

It is so wrong that the downloaded/pirated version reaches us before the originals. I've gotten the "Yes, already sampai. RM5 please" answer so many times I no longer get annoyed.

what scene has been filtered?

yup.... i not as rich as some of us..

Play play play =D 5 hrs and counting. Remember choose 2-2-2 for the starting 3 questions or 3-3-3 for AP Bonus. =/ I missed my chance and I lazy wanna replay =P

Why don't have calculator... Calculator in FFT for PS FTW

for those who are interested in ffta2, original copies could be found at sunway pyramid asian revenue. price? I am not sure about it.

The missus got me a copy last weekend for RM150. She beat me to it, otherwise would have gotten a delivery from aiyish.
Ratings 7/10

Plan to sell it?

yeah, saya jugak mau
i can do COD

in this ffta2 , do you require yr charac to change job often to acquire new skills ?

yup, i find the system is the same.
you change more job is to require more skills
so you can posses a job with 2 different job's skillz

cheh, rich kid stay away from this.

lao... poor dr. willy (OT)

Okay I'm getting frustrated at the quest to kill Red King Ruuj of Cinquluer (spelling correct?), I've a party of level 10/11/12 and this red mage boss is lvl 44, is she by any chance beatable at my level? If not then they wouldn't have the quest up right?

Freakin Doublecast =(

don't bother... so many quests.. 250 of them. can always do it anytime. 35 hours into the game and only 120+ completed. and oh, dont try going into the tower in grazston if u accidentally see it early in the game. first 4 levels was okay.. i was abt level 30, monsters were level 35 but on the 5th, level 50 and level 90 monsters!

I took the quest already and saved, if I fail can I retake that quest?

yeah, can fail as many times as u want... it'll pop out later again.

but i remember reading somewhere at gamefaq where some missions if you miss certain missions you wont get some important quest items required to proceed to another missions. u guys might wanna check gamefaq for this.

so far, i havent had a problem, if u dont have the items now, u'll get it later. items are basically the same u use in the bazaar so they're plenty of it but just dont go using it halfway in a mission

You cannot use items earmarked for missions after you've accepted the mission. They are set aside IINM.

except when u hafta visit the witch to make it into something else before giving it away

i actually face this problem in the tactics..

one of my unit blackmage has silence & sleep.
but the sleep seems to be grayed out (yet to master) and silence is made available.
is that normal ?

i just figure it out that weapon comes with abilities
this is getting interesting...

lols..

what i like and don't like about the game, u can get super good weapons early on in the game.

hehe, everything is random in this game, so pray for the best.

its not really random.. just do all the side quests and everything will be there for you.

is it? i remember stealing some rare weapons from random encounters with monster. sweet indeed!

Bought it and I'm right after my first auction. I swear to god this game hates me or something. The Laws are just IMPOSSIBLE to not break.

take this for example:
laws: NO BACKSTABS
Sexy Cobra Lady used Kiss on Paladin!
DOOM!
CHARM!
Paladin goes behind Archer and backstabs him!
Archer dies!
VIOLATION!
Archer dies FOREVER!
Paladin dies of Doom!
DS flies through window!

but the penalty isn't as harsh if you break the law. unless of course, you are doing a clan trial.

oh but it's addictive as hell though.

i know exactly wat u mean...

it's not that hard to not break the law aside from a few ones like not to miss a hit or not hitbacks or avoid getting stolen.

abiding by it is only useful early on when some of the items are great. later on, u'll break them quite alot. no biggie

the only good thing abt laws is the regen bonus which almost makes having a healer worthless

You get more bonuses when you finish more clan trials. I find that the Regen bonus worthless once your HP hits the >200 mark. Also using Agility +3 when a law dictates "No Misses" is particulaOH MY GOD YOU MISSED?! HOW CAN YOU MISS IT'S A 95% CHANCE FOR HIT YOU STUPID PIECE OF ARRRRRRRRGH

i hate this game so much.

oh what are your favourite classes? Mine would be the Moogle Fusilier-Knight and the Ranger. Mirror item + Item Lore ftw.

really? my hp's like 400++ and i still use regen. casting haste and someone cures the person faster than a cure spell

5% chance to miss what

i like Fusilier too. very useful early on but damage too little.

other than that, fighters for good stat growth and backdraft,aura blast, ninja for double wield, master monk for cross counter, parivir for sky fury blade and hoarfrost blade, all the ultimate skills( gladiator,assasin, hunter)

i think the special classes are quite useless, sky pirates, bards, dancer, nothing interesting. i just unlocked adelle's heritorar but nothing useful so far.

lol so funny!!!
made my day

every tried to miss with a 99% hit?
its f@rking dulan

try ogre battle...its still among the best and the origin of tactics ogre, fft etc.
people from Quest.

one of the missions was to weaken the dragon and kill the others.

it was so dumb that when I attacked the dragon, it got Critical-ed, fell down the cliff, and died.

ARGH SO FRUSTRATING

i've clock nearly 10 hours but complete 25 mission only.

how often do you dispatch yr units ? i've yet to dispatch any.
it seems that my hero-ranger is the weakest unit of all ~ deals too little dmg.

i have not dispatched any units as i want to do those quests myself to gain the exp......i think i'd clocked in around 19hours....

clocking at 120 hours
level 90+ party
297 missions done
now trying to figure out how to complete the last 3 missions =\

then moving on to FFIV

Wow so fast

I remembered my FFTA 100% completed is clocked around 300 hours

the game is relatively easy even at hard mode
FFTA pains me more with hardcore laws and jails xD
judges in FFTA2 doesn't punish that hard compared to the old game

wooh, rare.

Added on July 24, 2008, 7:38 pmbut the laws in ffta 2 are more ridiculous.

This post has been edited by bidfordun: Jul 24 2008, 07:38 PM

though some of them are ridiculous
breaking them doesn't bring that much annoyance compared to the old FFTA

299 missions done
now with the final mission
have to travel all over jylland to search for a stupid golem which could be anywhere in the map
and the mission duration is 1 year xD

TA2 have some law like Can't Miss or something?

I was like WTF when I saw that lol

Or laws that prohibits you from being a victim of stealing. I'm like WTF when I see it.

no stealing and no status change actually ok as you can have privilages that negate that. It's stuff like no miss which is wtf. I dislike no harming weaker too, but i think that is to 'force' you to use your reserves.
also, there's some that are blatantly pointless/stupid/fun breaking - how about a law that says no harming viera when there's 5 of them on the other team?
also, methinks the story characters are unbalanced. No special viera character

I used Viera quite alot back with the FFTA, white mage + red mage combo (doublecast FTW) or Sniper + Assassin + Concentrate combo are my favourite. The later one is a really overpowered monster combo, nothing can beat it.

hey people.. just started playing this game. quite nice altho i prefer the ori ff tactics on ps1..... still the best of them all, in my opinion. anyway, just wanted to say that this game is quite addictive.... lol

in this game is it possible to find out about the current law b4 entering a battle like we did in ffta? bcos i cant seem to know the law until i enter a law.

This post has been edited by bidfordun: Sep 25 2008, 07:46 PM

I don't think it's possible to know the law for each battle in advance, the only way to know is to check the FAQs/Walkthroughs from GameFAQs. All battles have their set laws already if I'm not mistaken; for instance, the law for sub-quest or 'random battle' One-Eye Evil in Galerria Deep is always "No Copycat".

duh, so different from ffta where we can purposely enter a battle with different laws imposed.

Is it possible to retry clan trials just to get different clan privileges?

I tried that before, sometimes I get a new clan privillage, sometimes I don't.

so u mean if i have completed Negotiation Trial I, later it will pop up again?

Clan trails does not disappear after completion, you can retake it as many times as you want. And frankly, the whole way of getting new clan privillages is very confusing.

i think levels 1, 3 and 5 gives you a new privi. Not all of them are too useful though.

Fuyo, this game rocks in hard mode la. I am lucky that i got this from pm as he has unlocked the hard mode.

I have always felt that ffta is a tad boring even though it is still addictive due to its lack of difficulty. Now this hard mode is really my cup of tea!

This game is so addictive. I should really stop playing it edy la in order to study!
