So, it's out now. Somehow, my mom got me a copy, so I' playing it. I'm already seeing references to FFTA, which will follow in spoiler tags.
So, yeah. I'm hoping Luso is as cool as a character as the past Tactics dudes were.

P.S: If Balthier appears, I'll tell you guys, because you guys like him a lot.

Ooh, it's out now? I played the one for the GBA to death, so it looks like I'll grab the new one and avoid the real world for a while longer.

Well I was about to check walmart.com,but they seem to be doing maintenance.
I guess that's what happens when you check it at 1:55 AM.

Congrats on getting a copy so early.

I played FFT on PS1 and PSP and I really want thi DS one but...there was a GBA version? Was it a seperate game or a crap graphics port of the original?

^ you're about to be bombarded with posts of sheer hatred.
I'm just the first.*Puts on imaginary mohawk*
[/in MR.T voice/] OF COURSE IT"S F**K"N SEPERATE YOU MOTHU F**KA!!!! FOO!
*Takes off imaginary mohawk*

I'm done......For now.
PS:Fear! The Mohawk.

*Stares blankly* So it is a seperate game. Is the story connected at all?

The story from FFTA not connected to the original FFT, in any real sense. The universe in FFTA is sort of created from that in FFT (Ivalice), something which becomes a plot point in FFTA. In any case, the story is very thematically different - FTTA is a more light-hearted tale, with moogles and everything.

Ref: Ivalice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, FFTA, FFT, FFT2 and FF12 are all taking place in Ivalice? Neat connection, I knew FFT and FF12 were connected.

Game is really fun so far. I'm still getting used to the different interfaces and stuff. Music is really good at times.

Job Spoilers ahead Also, if you have FFTA, put it in the GBA slot when you start a file.

What the hell are those giant black spoiler boxes?

^You do that through {spoiler] and [/spoiler]. Only, { is replaced with [.

Also, you know how in FFTA, attacking in front would lessen your chances of hitting? That whole thing has been changed, so if in front, you do less damage than you would if you hit the back.

Also also, EXP is given at the end of a battle, rather than random bits during it. Much better now, IMO.

*Nerdily squeels*

Aw, damn that's cool! I gotta get FFTA now!

Okay, I'll use this post to edit in unlockable jobs through quests. I'll only be doing those gotten through quests. I think others are unlockable by getting skills of some jobs.

I'm debating as to whether or not I should get this game. FFT was awesome, FFTA was kinda meh, but still good. So how does this compare to FFTA?

I'm not far enough in to compare it to FFTA, but so far I'm seeing a lot of improvements. The law system isn't so terrible anymore, and the Bazaar system is actually pretty fun, for example.

On a side note, I think the bagnaas have lost the "ssssss" thing in their speech. Weird.

I don't like any of the characters so far. Ritz, Marche, and Mewt were somewhat personable from the outset, but this Luso guy is a jerk and Cid looks like a moron.

Still love the gameplay though. I loves getting treasure and scoring me some AP.

I thought it was interesting that they included Montblanc from FFTA in FFXII. Just sayin'.

Going to "buy" this, now.

I've been playing a lot over my vacation, so I'm far in the game.

Game is really good.The side missions is where it shines. Main story is meh at best. The script is very humorous at times.

I'd say more, but typing on this Blackberry is hard, and I don't think I can use the things neccesary for spoiler tags...

If you liked the previous Tactics games, get this one.

It feels like the debuffs were nerfed in this game, though. I remember blind being awesome; now it's just meh.

Yeah, Blind isn't very dealy anymore, probably because of tha whole positioning change...thing.
