Final Fantasy Tactics A2 headed to the DS

By Spencer . December 21, 2006 . 9:57am

When Square-Enix announced the Final Fantasy Tactics PSP remake they also had a small blurb about Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire. It was widely speculated that the “A” stood for advance and that Final Fantasy Tactics A2 would be a sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Square-Enix confirmed that “A2” is a sequel to the Game Boy Advance game and that A2 is going to be on the Nintendo DS. If you’ve played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance there isn’t too much room in the storyline for a direct sequel, there was barely a skeleton of a story to begin with. Perhaps, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 isn’t a story about March and Ritz at all. Since Montblanc is in Final Fantasy XII and FFTA, A2 might be the link between the two games.

Good. Tactics Advance really *didn’t* have much of a storyline, so I hope this will help develop the storyline that Square-Enix games are known for. The battle system was rather fun, though, so I hope they keep that mostly the same with a few eyecandy upgrades.

Sithlet Says:

I’d actually like them to do away with the Judge system and make it more like the original FFT… FFT is possibly my favorite game of all time, though, so, really, any additions are welcome.

I hope they keep the Judge system in, just refine it. I really liked how it forced you to plan a strategy, rather than send in your badass healer, damage magic user, and brawlers and the proceed to annihilate your opponents with little fuss. The only thing that really made the PSOne FFT difficult were the useless class sets (*ahem* samurai…dragoon) and the enemies leveling up with your party. Man…so many sweet games coming to the little “novelty” system.

The ending boss should be a little less hard beceause I defeated it after 3 years, after my third try (started it over 3 times). but the rest of the game rocks. But they can shure improve it with more weapons, more jobs, more creatures and a better story because children sucked into a computergame isn’t really original but I’m sure that I’m going to purchase it.

Denzel Says:

noooooo….. i was really hoping that this will be a sequel to the PSOne game…. the GBA game just doesn’t have a good plot at all…. and there is so much left to talk about in the PSOne game….. and i love the different class system….

while i’ll probably still buy it, i am not as looking forward to it now….

I’m seriously getting tired of square-enix being all hippy swiss. (thats anti-console war enthusiasts and completely neutral) they’ve stated that they don’t want any console to win over any other which is great due to the fact that consoles tend to be oriented toward different groups of people (thats age and maturity as well as genre oriented) but forcing people to buy different consoles by putting tactics and ff based games on so many different platforms is evil, legal, but evil.

Its really sad when the only game psp has ported so far of any interest to me has been this one. Psp seems destined to be as useless as the the harddrive feature on the ps2. GAMING DIED WITH THE RETIREMENT OF THE PS1. people used to have to be innovative. good examples are chrono cross fft.

“blame yourself or god”

oh man, i can’t wait to play this game. and i couldn’t give a shit about the storyline - remember the original tactics, and it’s incomprehensible storyline where everyone was killed in a cutscene for pretty much no reason? then in the end, you’re made king, but at what cost…or something?

Pyraquis Says:

(sigh) I’ll have to buy a PSP now… I have a DS but I want the PS1 remake “The Lion Wars” too… I can only think of three games I’d be inerested in on the PSP… Why, Square-Enix, why?

Mr Dir en Grey Says:

well this is a reply to the person who can’t seem to afford a PSP or DS or whatever… since they seem to be complaining about Sqare Enix making games for other systems and such… well get yourself a job and go buy whichever system you need, it’s not Square Enix’s fault you can’t afford the system. pft… well now that that’s said, I am looking forward to both games since I have both, a PSP and a DS. those games are going to be frieken awesome!! ^_^

TreetarD Says:

i dont kno why you think ffta had a bad storyline. it wasnt the best, but it was alright.
