Multiplayer battles in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War

Famitsu reports that the PSP Final Fantasy Tactics remake has a long awaited feature, multiplayer battles. Before multiplayer matches start players can set up options like trap placement or entirely removing them from the field. When battles begin one side’s forces are highlighted red and the other side is blue so you don’t mistakenly hit your own squire. Something interesting to note is that multiplayer battles have a set number of turns. If both players fail to defeat each other after the turns run out the battle ends. This is probably a good to decision because a turn number forces players to fight and prevents people from running in circles with the bard’s “Move + 3” skill to avoid defeat.
