SE likes remakes...Follow

I have finally been able to play Bravely Default after getting back home for some time. I've put a lot of time in it but am only in Chapter 2. So far I've really enjoyed it.

And I enjoyed the gameplay in FF9. More so than the Junction system in FF8. Trance was about worthless most of the time, but I really enjoyed the equipment and skill system.

I want another FFTA game for the 3DS. FFTA2 was about the most fun I've had with a Tactical RPG. I've yet to really find one with a better, or as good, battle system. As far as the FF Tactics games go, their battle systems rate (imo) FFTA2 > FFT > FFTA. The first TA gets low ratings because of the stupid law system. FFT had more limited job system, and was very unbalanced. FFTA2 got rid of the real negative penalties of the law system and ended up adding a large variety of jobs and equipment based skill sets, which made questing for new components to get new equipment fun.

I really got bored with BD really, really quickly. Dull story, dull (or worse, dull AND annoying) characters, repetitive gameplay.

I mean, besides heavily weighting nostalgia, I have no clue why people enjoyed the game so much. The only thing I liked about it was the job system (which I don't like as much as FFT's, but I think it might be about as much as you can expect while staying to the classic turn-based formula).

I don't find world maps all that interesting; I know we had this argument to death with the FFXIII "corridor" thing, but I don't have any reaction to world maps that suggests they aren't just corridors. I don't feel like I'm exploring an open world at all, I feel like I'm moving from point a to b, except that can sometimes be annoyingly unclear so I waste a lot of time getting there, and I don't get pretty graphics to make up for it. I really like open worlds in something like Skyrim, where getting lost is fun and interesting in its own right. But not in a JRPG using a classic, low-res world map. Not at all. Hate it.

I stopped playing when I realized the only reason I was still playing was that I wanted to get more jobs. That was it. That's all I was interested in. I wasn't even interested in the combat all that much, I just wanted those stupid jobs.

Why would it need a re-release? This many years later it's still perfect in every way. What could they possibly do to make it better?

I want this too. Tactics on 3DS YES PLEASE.

Did you play Tactics Ogre? I really liked that, but then halfway through the game I had trouble with story missions/running out of money. If it eased up on the "here you must fight 2X as many units that are 2 levels higher than you" thing they had going on I'd have thought it was the best.

ALSO. Fire Emblem on the 3DS was a fantastic tactics game. There needs to be more tactics games.

Not all that surprised by the price, seems about the same as all their other versions. A little higher than VII and VIII though.

I'll probably pick it up on sale, or if GMG has it with a coupon code.

I'd buy any FF Tactics game for the PC if SE released them, at full price. Even if it was FFTA (probably the least favorite of the three).

If I had to rank them, it'd be:

FFTA2
FFT
FFTA

FFTA2 tops FFT just for the skill and quest system. The whole TA/TA2 Neverending Storybook thing was kind of Meh.

A graphically updated War of the Lions would be deeply appreciated.

I'd like to reiterate my desire for a FFT on 3DS.

If it was on computer I'd never play it. Honestly it's a rare day I play anything on my computer except FFXI. MMOs, thou art evil.

FF III will have Steam Cards

You know you want it...

I haven't picked up Lightning's Return yet. I'd probably buy it on Steam.

ROADTRIP! lmao I don't know why but this actually looks really appealing to me. Besides being pretty (per usual) it looks genre crossing and the action looks appealing to a Dark Souls guy like me.

We shall see.

* also I would pick up those Steam ports mentioned above on sale. I hope they go for it.

And risk people realizing that the plot really isn't as great as Nostalgia-Vision keeps telling them it is?
