Due to the immense resemblance and many developers shared between the two series, particularly, the game is often seen as a to.This game focuses on the exploits of Ramza Beoulve, the second-youngest member of the noble Beoulve family, as he transitions from military-school cadet to mercenary to hero. Behind him is an intricately complex story with twists, turns, and political intrigue (based on the real-life ); at the center of this maelstrom is Ramza's best friend, Delita Heiral, a commoner who makes a transformation and eventually becomes king. Of course, in a world where politics, and are the rule, all is not as it seems.While not the traditional fare, it was embraced by fans for its challenging, satisfying gameplay and the sheer depth of its, which took the similar mechanic in and cranked it. It was also renowned for its and resulting, often called 'Daravonese' after the tutorial character who spouted most of it. The PSP remake, mercifully, was far better in this regard, having been localized by longtime Square-Enix collaborator Joseph Reeder.Followed by a in. Years later, the atmosphere of Ivalice was re-imagined in, which took place in a dream world centuries before Final Fantasy Tactics.

The actual era that this dream world was based on was then first seen in, and again in, with another prequel in the form of.It has also been re-released four times. The first was on the 's 'Greatest Hits' line, though it remained hard to find. The other three were on the: first as the Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions, the second via the Store in a straight port (which oddly enough, does not encounter slowdowns in places War of the Lions does), and the last on the, base on the PSP version, but without the slowdown. Tropes used in Final Fantasy Tactics include:.: Guns that shoot magic; curiously, the Blaze Gun shoots ice and the Glacier Gun shoots fire in the original, but this is corrected in War Of The Lions.: Agrias and Meliadoul, both of whom are as well.: Most of the in-universe names sound fairly fantastical except the suspiciously appropriate 'Ovelia/Ophelia', but your generics have a of possible names.: A whole side story involving the royal family plays out through their in-game character profiles and bar rumours.

'Fight for justice.fists of fury! Repeating Fist!' .: In addition to the fourth chapter being the final one, one cannot help but think this goes a long way to explaining.:: most spells are area-effect, meaning they will affect anyone standing within their influence, and shame on you if you accidentally kill an NPC in an by flinging spells on top of them. Played straight by summons and samurai class' releases, whose prevents them from hitting the 'wrong' targets.

One very convenient side effect of this is that it allows you to level up more easily: neutralize the final remaining enemy on the field without killing it, then simply have your party hit and heal each other to.: And HOW!.: Many of the demons drop the and attack you in their inhuman forms.: Delita will actually go right for Algus/Argath at the end of Chapter 1. Reason being? The latter just shot Delita's sister.: No matter how over-leveled you are, cutscenes will still play out exactly as scripted, and no amount of Phoenix Downs will save Teta/Tietra or Malak/Marach. Averted with Orlandeau, who is described in the backstory as jaw-droppingly powerful and skilled enough to defeat entire armies. And, well, when you get him on your side, he.

Alma notes she wishs she was a man when Ramza tells her to hide before going into a fight. 1: At this point Ramza has at least four units with him that he could leave to protect her rather than holding the so blatantly 2: The player's army and indeed, a decent number of the generic enemies are always, can be female. The reason that nobody appears alongside Ramza and Alma in the ending - besides that they might have all gone their separate ways, is because besides those two, you may not even have the others in your party, whether or not you even recruited them to begin with.: How the Geomancers' abilities work.

Ice spells also work better in snow-based fields, Lightning spells are more effective in the rain, and fire spells may be better in volcanoes and deserts.: Ninjas, Calc.

Tactics Ogre features:.Multiple paths / Endings and the ability to eventually go back and find those paths/endings by going to the precise location where your choice mattered. (As opposed to playing the game all over again).Depending on how you play, TO is either a much harder game or a much easier game. TO offers the ability to retrace your steps in battle.

You get a minor experience penalty for opting to use this feature. Sometimes you really really need it though because the game can punish you hard. TO is not the most balanced game in the world but compared to FFT, TO is as solid as chess. FFT has serious balance issues where you can be way overpowered for majority of the game. TO gives you a good sense of challenge throughout most of the game.Less grindy. The new PSP TO does not award XP on each action.

It rewards at the end of encounter. Your experience goes to the CLASS not the character. So if I wanted to take a level 5 Knight and change his class to a mage where someone else has already climbed that class to level 8, the knight will now become a level 8 character. What is retained per character are class skills bought with skill points.IMO, I really like the re-arranged soundtrack of Tactics Ogre. Before the PSP version I would have said that FFT has the better music hands down.IMO I think TO has the better narrative. The new translation does it a great service. FFT's starts off solid throughout most of the game but really falls to pieces towards the end.

TO's starts off a bit rocky because there's a lot of political and regional mumbo jumbo to grasp onto at first but once you are immersed, the story stays pretty strong throughout. FFT's story is still excellent, but I don't think it put all of the pieces together right by the end of the game.Final Fantasy Tactics Features:.3d battle map. A lot of maps a slightly more dynamic with height mechanics than TO.Better looking in-game sprites/assets. While TO's music and portrait are better imo, they had the benefit of being reviewed and rehashed after 20 years. That said, TO still uses sprites and tilesets from its initial release on the SNES. FFT didn't do much to improve their sprites on re-release but I guess they are by nature better since they are drawn from a system that was a generation later.FFT has a greater sense of variety in equipment, monsters, map types, and number of classes.Magic/skills are better.

I'm a bigger fan of abilities that have execution time rather than all actions being execute upon command. They also look pretty.Greatly rewards mastery of the game's systems. This is both a pro and a con but I'll mention it here as mostly a pro.

The game can be a little overwhelming at first but once you fully understand how get the most out of a class or a certain skill, you will be super powerful in no time. It definitely feels gratifying knowing that your plan executes well because you read the text and did the math. Buuuuuut conversely there are characters that you get that require very little such thought and are as powerful as advertised. They are named character and you'll know who they are. I really wish they were guest characters only instead of permanent residence in your army.

Fortunately you don't have to use them. In a second play through, I recommend you don't.Endgame/optional dungeons. The endgame content is great. Moderately hard to find but definitely rewarding to go throughOverall I recommend Tactics Ogre more. TO was the direct inspiration of FFT.

One might say that they ported TO into a Final Fantasy context. One can easily see the similarities of old TO and FFT and can see where the refinements were made. Had it ended there, I would have recommended FFT hands down.

But then ten years after that, TO got refined in a major way and in all of the right ways. Both are masterpieces from Yasumi Matsuno. It's definitely a shame that he got the heave-ho from Square Enix and his kickstarter fell flat on its face.

The man created the gold standard for tactical RPGs with these two games. He deserves better than to be on the industry black list. Final Fantasy Tactics is less of a time sink.

If you like what you see in one there's a good chance you'll like what you see in the other. Also Final Fantasy Tactics is a little easier, or at least easier to break.The PSP/Vita are likely going to stand as the home of the definitive version for Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, whereas the best version of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions is the iOS port (and the Android port to a lesser extent). Although best version among War of the Lions ports is kind of splitting hairs since the differences are minor lag during complex animations, touch controls, and access to a cloud backed up save.I have to agree with everyone else saying to get both but if you're trying not to double dip and you've got an iPad or iPhone then get Tactics Ogre for your Vita and grab Final Fantasy Tactics on mobile whenever that goes on sale again. You have to use double spaces to separate paragraphs on reddit.As for the topic, I'd have to say that Tactics Ogre is probably the better game, but FFT has such a beautiful and tragic story that it's hard not to love it. I honestly found Tactics Ogre to be a bit easier as FFT can be really unforgiving during certain parts of the story.Honestly, you can't go wrong with either. Tactics Ogre plays a little faster overall (especially since the PSP version of FFT has that weird lag on spell animations), has a nice story, and looks a little prettier.

FFT has wonderful music, story, and characters, can be brutally hard in a few places (in the story no less), and has the added flair of being mixed with traditional Final Fantasy elements.
