Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles remaster
a week ago
Subs take it up the butt
GET IT! NOW! (if you're a fan or want to experience a classic turn based strategy RPG) Why?
*UI is vastly improved/easier to understand.
*Can restart battles, restart battles with a different party, or just back out to the world map if you're stuck. No more being fucked over by difficult battles!
*Cutscenes and battles can be sped up.
*EVERY cutscene has full voice acting and (to me) it's good! Even generic units and NPCs get voiced lines! Can turn em off if you want.
*Selectable difficulty can be changed at any time. Easy mode makes enemies weaker, hard mode makes em hit harder and you do less damage.
*You can play the classic version with the original UI and graphics!
*Party roster now holds 50 units! No need to fear having unique units and not having room for other people.
Some downsides to the remaster that might be a dealbreaker for some:
*Outside a few things that got slightly tweaked, the game is more or less 1:1 to the original Playstation version. It doesn't use the PSP version which had extra jobs and content.
*Save data is not interchangeable between the remaster and the classic versions.
*Script is based on the PSP version.
*Classic version comes as is without the enhancements of the remaster, but also uses the PSP script instead of the Playstation script.
*Music is based on the original version, no enhancements.
*Remaster version has a dithering filter on the screen, which can be distracting to some.

Had it preordered and got it on release day. Haven't had much of a chance to play, yet, but it already just looks and plays so good!

It’s been hard for me to enjoy, maybe I suck at the game or I need to grind for more hours. I’m thinking of lowering the difficulty to the easiest one cause the story and voice acting is peak so far, maybe I need Aster to watch me play to make it more interesting.
