"Think of this as Final Fantasy on a 3-D chess board, where your men/women have certain movements and abilities. The spell effects are gorgeous and you can easily find yourself spending lengths of time just building your party the way you like." ... Read full review

Strategy-based JRPG with a stellar cast of characters, job classes to level up and max out, dynamic cast of main characters and supporting cast to boot. The OST is one of the most epic I've heard in any video game. I have very fond memories of playing this Squaresoft classic. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a compelling ride from start to finish. It also has exceptional replayability.… Expand

Value Score: 9.4/10

Final Fantasy Tactics is Squaresoft's answer to Enix's Tactics Ogre using similar style of gameplay but mixing up with a few new unique features/styles and the Final Fantasy series' magic touch, Squaresoft was able to create a masterpiece that has a storyline which rivals even the mainline series. With a great addictive gameplay structure, a deep dark storyline and a well made soundtrack FFTactics is considered to be one of the best Spinoffs of the Final Fantasy series if not considered already the best.

On point. Story? Top notch. Combat? Clean and refined. Battle systems? Simple enough to play without a worry, but complicated enough to have a blast if you really dive into it. With probably over 2,000 hours spent on this game and the PsP version, It's easily one of my top 10. Absolute masterpiece.… Expand
