A question for fans of the
Final Fantasy Tactics series:
I've never played any of the FF Tactics series. As a Final Fantasy fan I've always been curious, but the trouble is that I'm not a huge fan of tactical strategy gameplay (RTS or TBS). Having said that, perhaps this upcoming TR theme would be a great opportunity to (finally) give Final Fantasy Tactics its fair shot, and more broadly speaking to have another go at a tactical strategy game (maybe this one will finally click). My question is which version of Final Fantasy Tactics would be preferable? I'm looking at either the original release on Playstation or the updated (remastered?) version released on PSP under the title of
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions.
Normally I'd just play the original release first, and depending on how that went I'd plan to play the updated version sometime down the line. In this case however the chances are good that it's
not a game I'll be revisiting, and accordingly that I should just pick the one that offers the best experience. I'll be honest, I'm sort of leaning towards War of the Lions. The portability aspect is
very appealing, and my research leads me to believe that the localization is better/more coherent. But I don't know; are there good arguments to play the older title instead? War of the Lions was released in 2007, so I don't feel like there's a conflict in terms of its 'retro status' (or at least not in terms of the generally established TR guidelines.
)
