Years after the fact, it's still probably the best tactical RPG ever. The battle system was fun enough to take me through multiple playthroughs. And of all the RPGs I played in my adolescence, the FFT storyline is one of the few I sometimes still think about -- the closest thing to Shakespearean in execution I've seen in an RPG.

Final Fantasy Tactics is a sad attempt by Square to produce an addition to the genre already largely perfected by our friends at Intelligent Systems, makers of the Fire Emblem series. The menus and controls in FF Tactics are poorly laid-out, the plot is not particularly compelling, and the graphical limitations of the console overwhelm the notion of fun in 3d. FF Tactics is more a failed prototype... read more

Description: Final Fantasy Tactics was a big move for the whole Final Fantasy franchise into different fields. Tactics combines traditional elements of the Final Fantasy series with a completely different game mechanics and battle system. It was the 1st game during Final Fantasy 32-bit era using a 3D, isometric, rotatable playing field, with bitmap sprite characters and a turn based strategy system. In the game you build up a team by recruiting many available characters you meet during your travels and stocking up plenty of items, to defeat various enemies waiting on your path. The game features a very complex character class(job) system ... (more)

" With Final Fantasy Tactics, Yasumi Matsuno took everything we thought was sacred about the Final Fantasy series and turned it on its head. While Tactics maintained the familiar creatures and archetypes we all knew and loved, it introduced us to the world of Ivalice, and leaned heavily into the Job system introduced in Final Fantasy V.

"Release Date: June 20, 1997 (JP) Publisher: Squaresoft Developer: Squaresoft Genre: Strategy - RPG The first time that I played Final Fantasy Tactics, I hated it. Due to expecting a faster pace, I thought it was slow and boring...A few years later, I gave it another chance, knowing full well what I was getting into, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Think of it as a chess game with boards of various shapes and sizes - the strategy is that deep and rewarding...and can easily result in 100+ "
