25 years of Final Fantasy Tactics

[Silenity]

So I had come across this article with the headline "25 Years of Final Fantasy Tactics" which got me reminiscing.

My first encounter with tactics games Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the Game Boy Advanced. Watching YouTube videos whenever I could access the internet to look at let's play videos, single character challenges, tips and tricks, all of it. It's what got me really into the genre of tactics games. And I've been in love with everything FFT and tactical since.

Anyways, I was feeling really nostalgic reading over the article. Anyone else have fond memories of FFT and the franchise?

FFT is my number one game.

All my memories of it are fond ones. Like staying up late with my brothers and playing battles. Using generics and basing them after my characters.

I've owned several copies throughout my life. I'm fairly certain it's the game with the most inspiration over me and most time spent on it.

If only I could play it now (I no longer have a compatible console).

I still replay Final Fantasy Tactics. Great gameplay, story, characters, mechanics, soundtrack. Definitely one of my number 1s.

I just wish that it had been received well enough to get a proper sequel. Instead we get the two Advance games, infinite remakes of this, and the cheesy-looking and already-doomed-I-called-it Unsung Story.

Just Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis and bits of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, but awww yea sweetie, my heart just about breaks thinkin' bout them! I wish I cud play FFT one day!

Something 'bout the writing is just soooo gooood... like, it's a bit clunky at times but it feels so mature! Also, the isometric tile battlefields is just like my Legos came alive on the computer screen.

I replay FFT so many times and so many ways.. lol. Sometimes I hack it and create an interesting job for few characters.. sometimes I "fix" skills.. sometimes I play it original style but with a restrictions like "no magic", "no items", "only Orators". It's easily one of my fave games of all time!

I used to use my legos to make FFT-esque battlefields XD.

For my D&D games I use Dwarven Forge now, but I used HeroScape tiles for years.
