So it's more Ogre Battle than Tactics Ogre eh? Weird. Looks cute though!

Yes.
That's a Mobage title alright. Worldmap looks a lot like Airborne Brigade too.
I guess the battle presentation is better than AB? If enemies actually strike back instead of being passive nonsense like in AB, I imagine health regen will be the "wait x time or pay to fully recover" hook to it.

I dunno maybe it's old concept art from FFT or some shit.

This looks more like Ogre Battle than it does Final Fantasy Tactics.

One by one, all the series I love die or meet a fate worse than death.
That's exactly what they are. Izlude, a completely-unused dancing character (Matsuno forgets what he designed her for), and Alma.
It is. It's unrelated to this project as he's currently AWOL from both Square Enix and Level-5.
One of them is an Alma Beoulve (White Mage) concept, and the other is Izlude/Isilud.
That color combination looks awesome.
Looks like FFT light. Even lighter than FFTA.

this looks terrible...
It doesn't look anything like FFT. Not even like the same type of game.
What it looks like is Ogre Battle, more than anything.

This is the future of SRPG's.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
Browser crap like always, goddamn it Mobage. Seriously, at least make it a goddamn app by itself, don't have me launch the browser...
Edit: So I just tried it.. all the battles are automatic, you just touch the screen to advance and skip battles. That's it.
The whole game is a horrible mess and because of all the images loading and all that, the whole screen keeps shuttering and skipping around. I just deleted this crap.

So better or worse than All The Bravest?
So what you're saying is, it's a mobage title.
I want to say that ATB still requires a bit of input, even if that input is "randomly trace the screen in any direction".
The battles being automatic isn't necessarily a bad thing. From what I've seen, each unit has an attack range and various other properties, and that's kind of reminiscent of Ogre Battle and Venus & Braves. Those games accomplish what they set out to do pretty well with automatic battling. I just think that the way this game is set up isn't particularly interesting.

Hahaha, to quote myself from Twitter:
In conclusion:
Honestly, this wouldn't be so terrible if the UI, production values, delivery system, and basic gameplay weren't so awful. The lack of music and sound effects also hurts a lot. These GREE/Mobage browser games really fail in that regard. At least a social card game like Guilty Dragon or even the new The World Ends With You social game have their own tailor made apps with sound, music, actually polished visuals.
At the end of the day, it's just another card battle game that tries to hide that fact via the battle sequences, and calling your party units instead of cards. Hell, you combine units to level up in the same way that all the card games do.

In some ways worse, in some ways better.
It seems like you get to collect a lot of stuff, so if you are into that, then it might be nice. Except you actually don't get to really fight, you just collect cards and put them in your deck, then go into automatic battles with that and hope for the best.
It's a piece of shit that you have to play on a browser, so every time you do something, you have to wait for the browser to load it.
Basically like most other mobage "games".
Yep... for some reason I was hoping this would be better. I know mobage has released a few games as apps, I was expecting this to be like that too, but an actual browser game... ugh..
You stopped playing at the same place as me. We both spent 5 minutes on this and we can't even get that time back...

Those Matsuno tweets just added insult to the injury that is FFT S. Unbelievable the amount of garbage that SE has been churning out.
Thread still needs PLEASE BE EXCITED.

The music and art had me smiling, I poured my soul and many hours into FFTA. That very soul seemed to shrink as the video went on..

Well said, me.
Oh, well, I'm glad to know absolutely nothing about this product will be good, then.
It is. I'm pretty confident the Knight Templar was an old design for Ajora, whose data can be found in the game with the job class of Phony Saint.
