This game is as much fun as the original Final Fantasy Tectics game, however it is still not as good. I did not gave it a 5 star rating for all the reasons already discussed by previous reviewrs. The most important being: limited character customization, average story line, kind of easy (even in hard mode) and repetitive quests. If you are a fan of the original title or you like turn based strategy games, this title is definetly for you. I would highly recomend the game.
This is a nice game and to me improves allot in comparison to its predecessor on the gameboy advanced. The graphics are nice and smooth and there are tons of features and job classes to sink into as well. My only complaint is with its ridiculous law system. The laws sometimes state you cannot cause more damage that set amount or your not allowed to miss a target. I mean its a little absurd. Another thing I am not happy about is the fact that random battles do not occur to help you train through the classes and get your characters stronger for quests you want to take on. The last thing I am disappointed with is the fact that you cannot keep monsters you tame in Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSOne you could not only capture monsters to join your team but level them up to become advanced versions of themselves and sometimes you would even get them to breed and you could raise new ones to help you fight in battle. But I guess allot of my disappointments arise from the fact that I really really liked the first Final Fantasy Tactics and nothing has come close to reviving its glory.
PROS:- Better graphics (particularly dialogue pictures and spell effects)- more jobs/weapons- more challenging (fighting king blue for the first time will shock you)- option to dispatch a person or go on quest yourself (for a lot of quests you use to could only dispatch someone in FFTA)- dealing more damage from enemies behind/sides than from the front- more play time (as if the one on the GBA didn’t have enough)CONS:- storyline is not even close to being as good as the original FFTA. You start with a little punk with no respect for people.- I don’t think judge system is as good (some of the laws are practically impossible to keep) in that the enemy does not have to worry about the laws. If the rules are not to use MP, your enemy can still dish out MP w/o any penalty. This is especially frustrating when fighting against other clans. I liked the old rigid law system better.- There isn’t as much penalty for hitting a person face to face. (The % chance of hitting them is the same as if you hit them in the back) I prefered a bigger punishment for hitting people face on. Expect a lot more spells to be successfully performed on you (doom, sleep, confuse, and my least favorite, charm)Overall, I enjoyed the game, even though I liked FFTA for the GBA better. If you are as thorough as me, you will get 120+ hours out of this game.
Improvement over Tactics Advance, but nowhere near the original Tactics. Fun if you like the format.
Overall I had a lot of fun with this game. It felt like it was aiming at a very young demographic with their graphic style and sound design. That is quite an odd change from the PlayStation classic Final Fantasy Tactics, Regardless, it still offers a lot of variety and is constantly urging the player to try new roles since you learn skills through the weapon you have equipped.
But I still really liked this game and pumped hundreds of hours into it. The mechanics are still there, even if the plot is less ambitious and kinda cartoony. It is still a good game to look at and play, and I had a lot of fun with it. The Judges really pissed me off, though. "No fire magic!" Okay, jerk. I’d be almost done with the map and forget someone had a fire sword equipped and have them attack someone else…d’oh.
This game will take well over fifty hours to complete, and many more if you want to hundred-percent-completion it. I spent one hundred hours on the first game, and over seventy on this one (and I’m still not done). I’ll probably play through it more than once. It’s a lot of gaming for your money, so it’s got a lot of value.However, if you’re not into strategy games, leveling up in this turn-based game may get tedious for you (like in the Pokemon games).
Final Fantasy TA2 is a great game with many days of play in it. There is a 16-quest long story with many characters dropping in and out of your clan throughout. Yes the storyline is a bit forgettable but the game makes up by having 400 quests to complete. The game-play is amazing from the battles to the auctions to the scenery and background.The controls are good but not great. the stylus controls are awkward and take some getting used to – after using a command when you didn’t want to many times. Using the buttons is incredibly simple though the isometric view is bit confusing as to which way is “up”There are over 50 classes in 7 races for you to chose in between your clan of 24. Every class has its own skill set that makes it more powerful against one type of enemy. There are side quests that allow you to add special characters with jobs only they can use to your clan.Overall Final Fantasy TA2 is a great game with some awkward features.
This is a great game I loved playing FFT for the Advance and FFT A2: Grimoire of the Rift hasn’t disapointed me. I really like that they added new races and classes for each race to give it a newer experience. The on thing that kind of makes it less appealing than the Advance game is the map system. You can’t see all the options of where you want to go, it also take time to go into an area on the map and out to another area. Other than that the game is what a FFT game should be like.
I bought this game having played the original Final Fantasy Tactics for playstation a long time ago and I assumed this would be more of the same. I was part right; the combat system is deep and complex. Graphically, the game’s animations are excellent. However, during combat you must sit and watch these same animations many times over. The animations combined with lots of menu interaction generally makes single battles take a very long time, around 15-30 minutes each.The worst part of this game however, is its story. I knew from the reviews I read that the story would be childish, but I thought that it would not be such a big deal. I didn’t realize just how infantile it was. If I had, I might not have bought it. The story must have literally been targeted to kids who just learned how to read, which is strange because most kids that age would probably have trouble learning the game’s complex combat system. I feel extremely silly at 26 years old having to click through it all. I would recommend watching a few movies of this game’s cutscenes to see just how relentlessly corny it is before you buy it. Aside from that it’s a good game.

Probably my favorite tactics game of all time, top 10 rpgs of all time, top 5 nintendo DS games of all time.

My first time to actually play after all these years should be exciting.

this is final fantasy tactics at its best. I wish they made a remake for android or iphone. endless fun and frustrating tactical play.

I couldn’t find my copy, but it’s still cheap here on retrolio, so I bought a second copy and primed it. Great game still. We need a new FFT!!

Its a fantastic game. I got it so I can play with my sister. I found the plot to be interesting and fun. I love this game. The quests and fun and inventive. The strategy involved makes the game exciting. I highly recommend this game. It holds true to the spirit of Final Fantasy.

I love this game! I’ve always been a fan of the FF: Tactics series, and this one does NOT disappoint I am pleased to say. There are several changes from FF:TA. If you break the Judge’s rule, you don’t immediately lose or anything – instead, you lose the ability to revive your characters in battle, and you also miss out on extra items that you get if you complete a level without breaking the law. The jobs and stats are changed up some – some jobs are missing and several are added, and are also somewhat different in some cases. The item system is VERY different; instead of unlocking new items as you progress through the story, you use ‘loot,’ items that you pick up from dead monsters/win from battles and quests, etc. – loot has no purpose except that you can use it at the bazaar to construct new weapons/armor/all other equipment. When you do this, you don’t get the equipment, either – you gain the ability to buy it henceforth. I kind of like it, though – it adds a bit of a random element. One other thing – recruiting is much more of a pain in the ass in this in my opinion.But, all flaws and inferior aspects when compared to the original FF:TA aside, this is a really great game that will keep you playing for hundreds of hours if you like this type of game. Enjoy! :)

If you enjoy turn-based strategy games with some RPG elements (such as character development/levelling) and a loose fantasy plotline story arc to tie it all in…then this game is for you!I can’t put it down since I bought it.PROS- The flexibility of being able to change jobs and manage your clans are a nice touch are some of my favorite things about the game.- I like the fact that you can save your game during a fight and come back it to it later…this makes this game fit my schedule perfectly.- The graphics are some of the nicest I have seen on the DS.Cons- The Law system can be a bit ridiculous at times to the point of making one (or more depending on your setup) of your clan members practically useless during the fight. I’m sure they put this feature in to keep everyone from spamming a certain class or set of skills…but the end result is a bit tedious sometimes. Not enough to make me not enjoy the game though…).

Makes me feel bad on how much 3ds boxes lost quality, awesome game and a classic… I enjoy it as much as the ps one classic one.
