Is this a new game? (Will it have the same shit system as Advanced?)

Or is it just a port of the PSX one?

It's a port of the PSOne version. They are adding in a few new classes (Onion Knight) and some animated cutscenes.

There is also a new Tactics coming out for DS. It seems to be a Tactics Advance sequel judging from the title.

Woo Hoo! Shovelware! :drool:

Final Fantasy III DS was shovelware, but it was still one of the best games on the system this year.

Whart?

Was FF3 remade for another system besides the DS? Don't give me that 'nes port' business because 3 shares in storyline only.

Maybe I don't understand your definition of shovelware.

I think he is looking at it from a view point of the PSP Tactics as being a port with minor extras. Which is really all it is. While on the other hand he is seeing Final Fantasy III on DS as being a remake. Which it is, as nothing but script was used from the NES version. It's kind of like comparing Resident Evil on Gamecube, to Resident Evil 2 on Gamecube. Plus, most people can just play their PSX version of Tactics on the PSP now.

FF III DS is closer to the original JP game than people think. Sure, visuals and sound were overhauled, but beyond that there isn't a huge difference. I still love the DS game though.

Information regarding the PSP version of Tactics is still quite limited.

Like I said, I never played the original, and loved the FFTA, so am really looking forward to this PSP version.

I personally don't play hacks, so I'll wait for this new version.

Some more snippets on this.

Square Enix revealed new details in Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou for PSP, in addition to the Onion Knights, the game will also have the job class Dark Knight, and Balthier from Final Fantasy XII, as a playable character in the game. Balthier will play an important role in the game.

I kind of liked having character exclusive classes. Fighting Gafgaron was all the sweeter because he had stuff I would never get, it made him seem more badass. Now I can just kill him with an army of Dark Knights. Oh well, I suppose they have to add some perks here and there.

Having a few new characters is cool, ala Cloud. But I'm not liking the idea that this one will play an important role in the story. That sounds like they are going to screw with greatness. I just hope his "important role" is small enough that it doesn't screw things up.

As long as Cloud doesn't suck as much as he did in the original and they don't fuck with the story, then I have no problem with him being in it a little more.

Online play? I just hope the new classes don't make for cheap teams. Aw who the hell am I kidding? Script kiddies are going to be using hacked save states and disconnecting as soon as they start losing anyway.

I'll just say it

Final Fantasy Tactics is clearly one of the best games of all time.

I still think FFT and Vagrant Story were Squaresoft's best games on the PSX.

Where the fuck is my new Tactics Ogre or Ogre Battle game?

Ha... I had no idea they were doing this. And I just converted my PSX game to work on my PSP. Oh well. I'll play through it I'm sure if this comes to the US it will be quite a while before it does.
