I'm talking about Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 (for those who don't know).
I am a RABID Final Fantasy Tactics fan, and after putting in at least 400+ hours on the first 2 games (combined), I can't wait to log another 200+ hours on this sucker!
Any other FFT fans out there looking forward to this? I haven't read a whole lot on it, but I hope Calculators make an appearance in this game!

I never played any tactics games (because the PS version was hard to find and expensive when I could). However, I am patiently waiting on 4 Square Enix games: FFXIII, FFXIII-Versus, Last Remnant, and Infinite Undiscovery.

If FFTA2 is half as good as FFTA was, it's going to be a must-have. -
What's the deal with the Final Fantasy Tactic games? Are they like Fire Emblem?

FFT is MUCH deeper, though. -

The original Tactics was a brilliant game made even more wonderful by the PSP re-release.
But I've never been a fan of Tactics Advance. They screwed with the core gameplay, and I don't like having certain classes accessible only by certain races, especially when an all-Viera team of Assassins is pretty much going to decimate everything that dares stand before it.
I'll pass on A2, and will instead save my money for Final Fantasy IV DS. (Actually, I've already preordered and paid in full for it.) -
What's wrong with decimating the enemy? That's what makes these games great, after many hours, you can put together a team that is near INVINCIBLE!
In the original, my team, with just 2 Calculators, could end 99% of battles in the first turn. That's the great reward you get for putting in the time. -

so I picked up tactics yesterday. awesome game! I'm only about 4 hours in but so far it is tons of fun. the jobs and abilities through me for a loop at first so I may need to restart. I didn't realize that the abilities on your weapons and armor are what decide when you can switch jobs. I left the main guy as a soldier with the same sword for about 4 levels before I realized I needed to find another weapon with the soldier skill to advance.

I would definitely restart. You're only 4 hours in, that's not even 1/25th of the time that you'll most likely put in to this game. -
In contrast, FFT: War of the Lions' Dark Knights are extremely imbalanced, but that's evened out by their utter ridiculous prerequisites. Viera Assassins are not hard to obtain.
Anyway, A2 is getting some great reviews, but I'm going to pass on it for a while. Maybe I'll grab it used after I beat FF4DS. -
Dark Knight is an attainable class in the PSP port? In the original, only certain special characters were dark knights, I only remember one, Gafgarian.
You talk about ruination, once Orlandu is in your party, you're pretty much unstoppable. Is he even in the PSP version? You don't even need to do anything to get him, you just let him join your party later in the game.
The way I look at it, Viera Assassins in FFTA, and Calculators in FFT, are far less broken than Orlandu. -
so I restarted last night, turned out to be a good idea. Unfortunately the clan bonuses you get are random, I guess, because the one I used before is not there anymore. Also the names of the peeeps are all different so when it hands out the MVP of the battle I'm always like 'Who the F is that???' haha.
