A recently released Final Fantasy Tactics alike that just came out on PC, PS4, and Xbone today after a stint in early access.It’s art is a tad, off, to be honest and nothing about the writing has stood out to me in the time I have been playing but it plays quite well and have found it well worth the cash I spent on it, and thought I would start a thread here to talk about it more either with people or with myself as I play more.
Some things of note:
Tons of difficulty options beyond hard and easy modes. It lets you set things like rather you want extra enemies, or if they should be able to use revive spells the same way you can along with what the penalty for a character falling in battle is
I may not love the art style itself but you can customize any non story character’s appearance from a good number of outfits and hair styles. Not a lot in the way of body shape diversity sadly though
The class system they use is more or less lifted from Final Fantasy Tactics and that is A Good Thing
Some downsides (albeit pretty minor ones as I have found):
Not a ton here but there’s a few sexy demon ladies that I find a bit eyeroll worthy but the game is pretty good on not making that the default for women in the game so eh just wish they’d done something more interesting there
There’s a race of fantasy comedy relief merchants and that always seems to play off old shitty antisemitic tropes and I am sure it was not intended that way it would be nice if that wasn’t a thing
The main cast is pretty white and is always a bummer
The art of the game implies it’s going for more of a whimsical Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced sort of story but it really wants to be the first FFT or tactics ogre and it just does not work as much as it wants it to
Hitoshi Sakimoto did not write the soundtrack but this is true of most games so I will forgive it this time
No foxes that I have found I can not forgive this one I am afraid
