Should I buy or not?

FFT:A, should i buy or not? 11 years old, would play it on a DS because i havn't got a GBA. Likes the ff games that i've played so far (ff7, 8, 9, 10, 10.2)

What do you think and why?

I liked tactics but it is completly different then the other Final Fantasy games. It is more like the old Sega game Shining Force or the PS game Disgaea (both great classic games, shining force is arguable the best RPG for the Sega .) If you are looking for a game that has a great stroyline and in depth characters like the other FF games then this one would not be for you.

I also see that you have not played FF IV that is available for the GBA and is one of the best FF games available. You can also get FF1 and 2 on the same cartridge for the GBA for really cheap. I would say go with one of the earlier FF games before tactics if you want a traditional RPG.

I have played every final fantasy made, japanesse only included. I can tell you that T/A is not the worst (*cough* Crystal Chronicles!), but by no means the best. If you liked the idea of a tactical game in an FF enviroment, but can overlook the fact that the characters are not seen as heroes, but rather as kids with problems that they must deal with, where the first battle is a snowball fight, where the game designers think you're so stupid you need a tutorial for moving, fighting, and spelling your name, and the overused plot where your best friend turns against you, only that this friend also has issues, and when you 'kill' someone, they don't actually die, and make a pitiful 'ugh' when they fall, then the rest of the game goes smoothly.

hmmmmm..... I now realize that my first paragraph would deter pretty much anyone. Now for the perks. After the hour long opening, the game gets good. The battle system is well made, as is the system for advancing in skills. Some new job classes such as the Assassin and Juggler provide hours of gameplay awesomeness, and the plot gets better and better as you go along. The use of limitations in the game via 'judges' I reccomend, though it will get tedious as they add more and more rules to the game. Also, dialogue in the game is fairly humorous, and NPCs make the game seem alive and you an awesome bounty hunter. While it can never touch the beauty of Tactics, I would recommend T/A to someone who enjoyed 9, X and X-2.

Tactics for the PS is simply the best in my opinion..

I mean, Knights.. princess, dragons (job classes) along with a set of body junks like movement and reaction coming from any class. Friendship, betrayal.. and even two pimps *caugh* Wiegraf.. Elmdor *Caugh*

Don't worry about names though, there's loads of names in your character report

I agree. FFT is the best ff I played. Complete control over the development of the characters. Nothing is left to chance.

Unless, you know, you go to a used game place???

Anyway, yes I heartily agree that FFT is (one of) the best final fantasy's ever created. Tied with 9.
