Final Fantasy Tactics for PlayStation 1

Pros: uses job class system with over 400 different abilities
Cons: some players may be turned off by the lengthy battles

I had just completed Final Fantasy VII when I received Final Fantasy Tactics as a gift. I was expecting the graphics that had blown me away in FF7 (that was my first game for the Playstation, so please no laughing), but I was instead treated to ...

Pros: Fully-developed battle system, great graphics and sound, in depth storyline
Cons: Can be confusing at times

Although Square does not churn out games along the regular "Final Fantasy" line, they do occasionally stick the moniker onto other games they produce to encourage its success. The most recent case is Final Fantasy Tactics, which is a strategy...

Pros: gameplay
Cons: you got the time? Coz FFT don't

Final Fantasy Tactics had a 'high' standard to meet sales-wise. There was no question that it's a better game than Final Fantasy VII (however little that's saying), but would it be as successful being released a mere five months after?...

Pros: Very re-playable, many, many different character options
Cons: Some fights a bit unbalanced, some maps could be larger.

I have to admit that I wasn't too impressed with this game when I saw the graphics on the package... Lots of little "super deformed" characters moving about on small battlefields.

However, a friend convinced me to borrow his copy and give it a...

Pros: Tons of replay value, job/skill system
Cons: Plot makes no sense, lackluster graphics

Ever since I played my first Final Fantasy game for the Super Nintendo, I've been in love with role-playing games, an addiction which will probably never end. But in all that time, I've yet to come across an RPG capable of surpassing this gem for the ...

Pros: Story, Interface, Graphics, no noses.
Cons: Poor translation... no noses?

Note: This review is based upon a recent replaying of this game.

As I stated in my previous review, I have been a fan of the Final Fantasy series for quite some time, so when I saw a short "movie-style" preview of new game called "Final...

Pros: Good story, great, deep gameplay, good characters, attractive character art
Cons: A bit on the confusing side

The first game I ever played on my Playstation still sticks with me. It's still a keystone I use to judge other games.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the Final Fantasy series of Squaresoft games. They're mostly RPG's of the more...

Pros: Music, graphics, story
Cons: Tiny maps

“A warrior takes Sword in hand, clasping a gem to his heart…Engraving vanishing memories into the sword…he places finely honed skills into the stone… Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone… Now the story can be told… “The Zodiac Brave Story”...

Pros: All the cool random guys, music, story, and Cid!
Cons: A little short, random enemy scaling.

This is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. While it was kinda slow at points, and the odd way the random fights scale to your characters, but the bosses don't, is worrisome the game is still pretty well done...now if only your character didn't look...

Pros: Addictive and absorbing battles, awesome abilities, and cool character classes
Cons: hideous....and i mean HIDEOUS translation

Final Fantasy Tactics.

These words may bring fond memories of all of the past games in the series. But don't be fooled. This is NOTHING like any of the other games in the series, other than the chocobos, and is not really a traditional...

Pros: Deep gameplay, smart AI and great replay value
Cons: Not as graphically enhanced as other Square games, poor translation makes plot confusing

Before I start, I'd like to thank Square for games like Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross and Secret of Mana. These six games will forever be among my...

Pros: Great story, intricate and entertaining gameplay
Cons: Can be difficult to learn

Final Fantasy Tactics is an oft-overlooked, but overall amazing offering from Squaresoft, which makes it a perfect example of irony. Ever since Final Fantasy was released, there's been a truckload of hype behind SquareSoft's products. Especially when FF7...

Pros: Great features and gameplay.
Cons: The translations are really bad in some parts.

I bought Final Fantasy Tactics a few years ago, soon after it was released. I was looking for a good strategy game that was different than the Final Fantasy games before it, and Final Fantasy Tactics tickled me just right. I played it seemingly...

Pros: innovation, graphics, superior storyline, job class development, musical score
Cons: smaller fighting grid, surges in difficulty, NPCs

That's how I heard it in a gaming magazine. The reviewers likened Final Fantasy Tactics to a game of ultimate chess -- except your pawns, with time and experience, can grow into kings (though it didn't say queens -- and why not? they're the most...

Pros: Great game play which actually makes you think
Cons: may be too difficult for some

I admit it, I bought this game just for the "Final Fantasy" in its name. After finishing FFVII which I found pretty enjoyable I bought FF Tactics to tide me over until FFVIII came around. I figured that Tactics would just be just a FF game...
