Hopefully leaps and bounds better than the last one.flarkminator said:
I'm picking it up but after ASH and Operation Darkness I'm all s-rpg'd out. Probably won't get to it for a little while.
Yeah, I enjoyed FFTA quite a bit due to the immense number of interesting job classes. Then again I also enjoyed it because I played it at 10x fast foward on an emu (own legal cart). I'm a bit worried at not being able to do that this time around. ASH has kind of tested my patience on slow srpgs.

well I'm not expecting it to live up to FFT or anything like that, but I mean.
Anyway not going to turn this into a FFTA and what went wrong thread. Just hit me up with some impressions baby!
The last one was perfect for late night gaming.sevenchaos said:
It was too easy, IMO, but the core (disregarding that card bullshit) gameplay was still decent....the story was one of the worst I've ever had to play through...and, like I said earlier, the judge/card system very well might hold the top spot for the worst gameplay system in a RPG...but I was still able to enjoy the game
I hate to say it, because it sounds pretty damning, but that game put me to sleep.
What I mean by this is I would play the game late at night if I had trouble going to sleep. Some people count sheep, I played a match or two of FFTA. Due to the difficulty, I never found it frustrating...the battle system itself (while not as good as FFT's IMO) was still good enough to hold my interest...and the simple fact that I was doing someone other than deliberately trying to fall asleep made actually falling asleep creep up on me...usually by the time a battle was finished.

I have only played FFTA and I hated it. I didn't like how alot of the jobs didn't work or were useless.
I didn't go into FFTA expected it to live up with FFT (which I don't hold on some golden standard, btw, I think that game is flawed... but it IS at its core extremely solid, unlike FFTA). I would have been happy with much lower quality, but it failed to meet even those. I explained when I hated about it before, though, so no use going over it again.
Anyway I hope FFTA2 fixes the problems I had, so I too will be watching impressions for some key issues to see if they're covered.

That is a big issue, but if the plot sucked that'd be perfectly fine if the gameplay was good... which, for a strategy RPG, FFTA essentially lacked any strategy or tactical requirements at all. I explained many of my problems before, you can read just the tip of the iceberg here. FFTA didn't need to be FFT to be good.

I don't know what it is, but it still looks like a GBA game. Is it the lack of frames of animation, few colors, or the resolution? Visually, it's kind of disappointing.

Oh, not at all - I loved the FFT look on Playstation. I wanted the sprites to be more detailed and have more seamless animation. Whatever, though.

Aeana said:Not really. The GBA is lower resolution and has a lesser color palette.
It's a significant upgrade, that the GBA is incapable of.
Bottom line: it's beautiful.
Ahhh - that comparison shot puts everything into better perspective. I kinda wish it was better animated, but your point is well taken.

I want to know more about the main character, Luso, and whether or not he's much of a hunter in terms of story or feature themes (refering to his job from FFT PSP). I've always been massively put off by the style of Advance but I may be able to overcome that if there are other themes in the game that interest me a lot -- notably how Clans, hunting or poaching, any sort of creation features, etc are handled.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Had a really long day today (topped off by having to come home and download fonts!), but I got it! I will bring the impressions tomorrow after my trainride. Played about 3 mins of it so far.. and will play more in bed!
