ST> -> ST>         Other than that it is simply an incredible game!
ST> ->
ST> -> You do!?  I dunno, I LOVE FF7, that's for sure.. But FF Tactics? I
ST> -> bought it cause I want to own all the SquareSoft titles for the PSX
ST> -> (well, all the RPGs) And well, I was really deceived!  The game at
ST> -> first is way TOO hard... and at
ST>
ST>         Everyone's taste range differently, even for fans of a
ST> particular type, such as RPG's. For me, I like the old style turn-based,
ST> menu-driven RPG's that I grew up with; Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy,
ST> Lunar, ect. but I also thoroughly enjoy good turn-based strategy RPG's
ST> such as Shining Force and Vandal Hearts. FFT fits the latter category
ST> perfectly, and with an incredible amount of options to really tailor
ST> the game to whatever strategy the player wants to try.
I haven't played much of those titles... Well, actually none! :) my first RPG
was FF Mystic Quest I think... (oh! I played Vandal Hearts!)
That part with all the options? I don't like that that much.. of course it's
fun to change your guy/girl and all, but what I don't like, is that you are
limited, I would of loved to be able to like, use more then two skills on a
guy... :(.. BTW, I don't know if you know how to get Cloud in your team.. If
not, I can post you a message on how..
ST>         I absolutely hate so-called "action RPG's" such as Zelda, Secret
ST> of Evermore, Alundra and Shining Wisdom. Everyone's taste is different.
ST> That even goes for strategy games like Ogre Battle and Dragon Force. In
ST> that case there is too much to keep track of with all of the different
ST> forces going hither and yonder. In my case there's no enjoyment in such
ST> frantic scurrying around. I like to relax with a good RPG, be it
ST> "normal" or strategy.
I liked thos kind of games, they were alright..
ST>         So for me, yes, FFT is absolutely great, and I am enjoying it as
ST> much as I did FF7. Now I'm waiting to see if Tactics Ogre will make us
ST> have to watch over armies scurrying everywhere or if it will be more
ST> like FFT where I can just concentrate on a single force, which will be
ST> much more enjoyable and relaxing for me with my RPG playing style.
Tactics Ogre? Well, from what I saw.. It looks exactly like FFT and
VandalHearts... Which brings me to a point.. I see FFT as Square's way to
saying to Konami -> Your RPG was good.. but here's what Square can do! :)..
Cause well, it's basically the EXACT same thing... like, it's about 
politics"
deceptions.. and at the end? Same thing, the heros die in an explosion (well,
one gets sucked up in a black hole or somethin) while the other.. well, 
ou'll
see (unless you already saw).. It's the same thing... then you see him again,
and it's like! Wow.. he's still alive...
