| Product DescriptionMODEL- 90711 VENDOR- SQUARE ENIX FEATURES- Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions PSP In days now long past, the War of the Lions rent the land of Ivalice in two. And it is here that two young men of note first stepped onto history's stage. The first is a man named Delita Heiral, the hero who would draw the curtain on the War of the Lions, this dark act of Ivalice's history. The other, whose role is now forgotten, is a man by the name of Ramza Beoulve. Peer through the eyes of these two young men, and uncover the secrets that lie hidden within history's darkened folds. Originally released in 1997, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is a portable update on the classic turn-based strategy game that gave birth to the world of Ivalice. New features include all- new CG sequences, all-new jobs, new 16:9 widescreen presentation, new head-to-head multiplayer and new storyline elements that refine the genesis of the Ivalice Alliance. Character designer Akihiko Yoshida's character illustrations come to life in all-new animated sequences that combine hand-drawn style visuals with the fluidity of computer graphics -- fully voiced exclusively for the English version. All-new enhancements update the experience for a new generation of gamers -- enhanced widescreen presentation, new jobs, new characters and a new English translation deepen the Ivalice experience. Challenge friends in head-to-head battles with the all-new multiplayer function or team up in the all-new co-operative mode and try to outwit the game's advanced computer opponents. Classic orchestrations from world-renowned composers Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata capture the essence and breathtaking drama of the world of Ivalice. -- SPECIFICATIONS ----------------------------------- ESRB Rating : T for Teen Genre/Category: Strategy System : PlayStation Portable Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-16      This remake makes me sad. Imagine if everything you wanted to do took 4 times longer than it should take. That's what playing this game is like. All of the special animations slow down to a crawl, and you're left wondering why you paid $40 for a game that came out 8 years ago, but has LESS SPEED. The new dialogue is repulsive, the slow-down is unreal and unbearable, and the new classes are positively worthless in single-player mode (the dark knight requires mastering 2 jobs and getting job level 8 in 4 others! you'd finish the game before you got half of that done).
This is by far the worst remake of a Final Fantasy game I've ever played in my life, and that's saying a lot, because Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my all-time favorite games. So good, in fact, that I can't even bear to give this remake 1 star. If you want to play this game, find the original. Avoid this remake at all costs. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-16      Final Fantasy Tactics Review If you have played Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation 1 then you have pretty much played this game. The plot is basically the same but there are some nice new animated cut scenes which are a pleasure to watch. Overall a good game I would have liked a few more extras from the playstation version. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-01      Great Remake with One flaw I played the PS1 version of this game years ago and it is what got me into the whole SRPG (Strategy Role Playing Game) genre. This game is more or less a straight port of the original game, with a multi player mode, remastered cut-scenes, a few extra characters and classes, and a new script.
First the Good:
The cut-scenes are awesome. In the original version of the game their is one cut-scene in the beginning (maybe one towards the end, I never finished the game). It is nice to see new videos. Second there were some problems with the translations in the first game, and this fixed it. It is also cool to see some extra special characters plus and addition of new classes. One of the stronger points of this game for me was the in depth class system, and the new classes are cool.
Now the Bad:
Personally, I prefer ed the old script because it read easier. The new script is much more formal, reads more like Shakespeare, which is great for plays but personally I find not the greatest for video games. And the biggest flaw with this game is the spells. I did play this on the 1000PSP model, but I don't imagine it being any different with the slim. The spells/special skill move PAINFULLY slow. Now for those of you new to the SRPG, you have a number of charters on a map (normally a grid) whom you move and attack. All of the attacks have certain area in which they can effect. This genre generally consists of very many maps that can take lots of time to complete. The problem with this game is that on top of an already slow genre, it is even slower. It almost seems as though the PSP has trouble rendering the skills/spells. This makes the game painfully slow. I couldn't even make it through the first chapter of the game. Honestly, I would find the PSone version of the game. |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-26      Fun! I've never played the ps1 version, but I play this game more than any of my other psp titles. |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-22      Final addiction Absolutely addictive. Plot a bit too thick for my liking. But, still I would recommend it to anyone with too much time on their hands and alot of stand-by. |  |
