Pros: Great battles and replay
Cons: Graphics and music not amazing

Square has always produced quality RPGs and Strategy games. The Final Fantasy series has always been straight out RPG, unless you count Final Fantasy Adventure for the Game Boy, which in actuality is not a Final Fantasy game at all (it's Square's badly...

Pros: Anything you can think of.
Cons: Not a thing.

Back when I heard about FFVII in 1999 (When Legend of Lagaia came out), I had no idea what the PlayStation system could do. I had a SNES and a N64, but never had I had a PSX before then. When I got FFVII, I also heard from a friend, about another game...

Cons: A bit short.

The Endless Empire of Final Fantasy

I had been somewhat disappointed with Final Fantasy VII (I thought the ending was too easy), so I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy Final Fantasy Tactics at first. Then I spent several hours at a friend's house watching him play it--I was hooked!

Pros: Gameplay, Story
Cons: Translation

Ahh, Final Fantasy Tactics. One of my favorite Final Fantasies, and thus one of my favorite games ever.

This game has got great graphics. Rather than being like FF VII (pre-rendered backgrounds, 3D characters, yuck), there are 3D worlds...

Pros: Just right in the graphics and sound, but EXCELLENT gameplay! VERY VERY FUN!!
Cons: The name "Dycedarg". Play it and you'll see what I mean.

Let me start off by getting this righ out fo the way: I love this game. The graphics are not the best of any FF game, the sound isn't the best, the story isn't either, but for some reason this game turns out to be something quite wonderful in the...

Soon after I had played and conquered Final Fantasy 7, I decided to purchase Final Fantasy Tactics. It didn't look like a normal FF game, and didn't really impress me. I bought it anyway, and what I got was a masterpiece of a game.

Tactics...

Pros: Incredible story, innovative job system, non-linear gameplay, nice visuals, and impressive soundtrack
Cons: This game requires a lot of free time and attention.

I purchased Final Fantasy Tactics a long time ago - March 1998, when it first hit American shores. I didn't want to review it because it was already reviewed to death, but since it's easily one of the BEST games ever made, I felt that I owed it a...

Pros: Has endless gameplay due to the tactics and almost chess-like strategy.
Cons: Random map battles can annoy if trying to get to a location fast.

OK, this is some great news. Before I talk about the news, I'll describe the situtation this game fell under. Squaresoft made this game as a kind of side project to their Final Fantasy series. After Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest's failure on the Super...

Pros: Great battle environment, straight forward and to the point
Cons: I have nothing bad to say really

Final Fantasy Tactics is not like any of the others in the series. It has the same principles, like potions, phoenix downs, white/black magic, and summon magic, but the game play is much different. It’s kind of like chess. This installment is based...
