Not everyone likes a story like that, and it starts out very slow. They are not overtly exciting or dramatic, they move very slowly, and instead of being morally black and white they tend to be about blending shades of grey.
It requires a lot of setup, and it nails it, but political intrigue is not a story style that everyone likes. The story is about politics, the people who shape those politics, and the fates of nations. Here are three things to know about FFT that will help you enjoy it or realize for sure it is not for you. But with the music and the way the characters are already established at that point, the thought never crossed my mind to put the controller down.įFT is great, it might be my number 1 game ever, but I can see why people do not like it.
#FF12 TAVERN MASTER TRIAL#
In the second friggen battle! Soooo much trial and error before you realize labyrinthia needs to constantly keep him distracted with duplicates. There is an enemy on the grid so op he one shots all your toons. Heck, I remember what is literally the second battle in XF. And yea, maybe they dont do a good job with the characters in the early game so there really isn't enough incentive to stick it out. A lot to do with the graphics and the clumsy interface for sure. Both Valkyria Chronicles (I could get my hands on) with all the DLC, etc.
Although there is probably a cheap trick I was missing). not the first time you go, you can go again when your team is maxed out and it gets very very rough.
#FF12 TAVERN MASTER PSP#
Even Jeanne d'Arc on the PSP (although I gave up on the final post game arena boss here. I have played Disgaea3 until my eyes bled. I have finished Wild Arms XF many times over, and that game is arguably even deeper than FFT. I actually made a post about my inability to get into FFT a couple of days ago in the classics you cant get into thread.Īnd remember - at least in my case and probably the OP's too - sRPG's are one of my favorite genres. "Uh.I think I'll just keep using my ninjas." "Oh, well, you just have to.(explanation goes on for four minutes describing which classes to level up and which abilities to use)." I remember walking in on my brother playing it once and he had classes I had never seen or heard of. Because the level of story depth is matched only by the insane level of classes and their depths. Tactics seems to appeal to a very specific type of fan, and it sounds like you might not be it. I tried it again years later, after I had grown up and thought I could understand it better. Yes, I know I stopped some sort of ancient evil returning with the stones, but that's it. I beat the game, but I'm still not entirely sure what happened. People often praise it for having this huge political intrigue plot going on-and it certainly does feel like a real political mess-but for me that really made it hard to get through, because I had no idea who my enemies where, or why I seemed to be fight three different factions, why this person was suddenly an enemy when this other person is now a friend. I remember playing Tactics when I was a kid and I had NO idea what was going on. So FFT fans, what am I not getting? What do I need to do in order to appreciate this game? Or is it just not for me? And if that's the case, why isn't it? Read my descriptions above it seems like this game would be perfect for me. I know that there's a lot of depth and strategy to be found there, but I don't feel I should have to study a strategy guide on GameFAQs to do it. On the gameplay side, the character building and customization has some frustrating UI and doesn't explain itself at all. The story drops me into this political drama that is meaningless to me because I haven't yet become acquainted with this world or its characters. I even used it as a sleep-aid once: I'm serious, I knew I needed a nap, but I couldn't settle down, so I played this game until I was bored into sleepiness, then turned it off and fell asleep. Why then, despite all the critical fanfare, can I not get into Final Fantasy Tactics? I've tried playing it TWICE and both times I found it be a chore. I liked Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon on the Nintendo DS and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on the Gamecube. I pop Civilization Revolution into my console on a consistent basis.
#FF12 TAVERN MASTER SERIES#
I've played all the (non-MMO) games in the main series from beginning to end at least once. I am (or was, rather the jury's out until FFXV proves either the savior or the reaper of the series for me) a fan of Final Fantasy.
