Final Fantasy Tactics being remade for the PSP

So can we hope for an enhanced version of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the DS? That was a great game too, and I love handheld TBS games.

This is the best gaming news I’ve heard in awhile. Looks like Square is finally listening to fans and expanding their most underrated franchise. Square’s (not Enix) has been in a slump for awhile, with only maybe one true A-list title a year that’s not a remake, but it looks like they’re coming out of it with KH2, FFXII, and FFIII and now this. I’m holding high hopes for A2

Still, I personally can’t get enough tactics, and I actually liked the PS version over the Game Boy one. I’ll drop the money for a PSP for this one. After this, I think they need to remake Vagrant Story for a portable.

I’m just glad they’re sticking to the JRPG formula instead of making another First/Third person shooter *cough* *cough*….

Tactics sucks, how can u even call it a game? you cant controll your own character, your taken from enemy to enemy with nothing between, it basicaly just a mortal kombat style final fantasy fighter with a cheap enviroment that looks like it should have been on the super nintendo.

Why dont they remake FFVII or IX (games that people actually want) instead of this garbage?

You last two sicken me. Do you even know what Tactics is? Because it doesn’t fit either of your descriptions.

@Snake
Because FFVII is played out. It has been for nearly 8 years. The story was trite. The characters were boring. The only thing it had going for it was the magicite system. Oh, and the scene where Midgard blasts the hell out of a big ass summoned monster….or, whatever it was. And, although I really, really liked FFIX, even I am not afraid to admit that it could have had a better story than it did. It was a good one, but it could have used a bit more tlc.

Tactics, on the other hand, was, in my opinion, Square’s attempt to do something drastically different for the group of people Sony was catering to, and for the Final Fantasy series. the had already done the Front Mission series, but it was a lack-luster event in the US. But the Final Fantasy name alone was an almost qualified success for the FF Tactics game they were about to unload. And the reason why so many folks like the Tactics series so much, is because of the extraordinary amount of freedom it gave players. Every character, team, and battle was what you made of it. It didn’t rely on the brawler/black magic/white magic/mystery-meat guy(girl) setup that the rest of the series had templated up.

So what if you can’t control a character? So what if you can’t see a world as you run around? I’ll take a graphically sub-par game with an engaging story (decently for the PSOne), brilliant music, tons of customization options, and a deep battle system any day over some crummy angst storylined “Barbie dolled” game any day of the week. Learn to diversify, snake…

I’ve been looking forward to this game being released for a handheld.

Must Have Tactics! *Cries at having to buy psp*
