Customer Reviews

Nice Game
First of all this game is beautiful!.. I can't believe that it would look so good on the DS especially the cutting scenes and the characters look like they're from PS3 system!
This is my first time playing final fantasy tactics and it was a little intimidating at first. However, the instruction is so easy and the pace of the game is superb. I was never bored with the game and play non-stop. Some of the level is a bit challenging but it makes you feel so good when you beat the boss and go up to the next level.
I give this 5/5 stars. Must have for Final Fantasy/ legend of zelda lovers.

Not what I expected, it grew on me
I was just aimlessly looking at a video game wall and noticed this new Final Fantasy. I loved most of the other ones and thought this would be good.

OMG. This wasn't FF, this was a war game in FF clothing!

I was so sorely disappointed, but then the story line kicks in and you get used to the battling. The game became quite fun.

Now I think I may try one of those full blown computer war/magic games now that I can kinda play one. lol.

Completely Broken Combat
I have to say that I only got a few hours into this game, and that the gameplay may improve later on, but the basic fundamentals are clumsy, unintuitive, childish, and, above all, lacking in any kind of strategy. It's like an RTS for 6 year olds; all you do is pump out disposable monster units, select your mob, and tap a spot near the enemy. If you want a real RPG get final fantasy III or IV; if you want a good strategy rpg get tactics ogre advance or FF tactics. Stay away from this, please.
