I've tried many, and many are good.

I agree. I thought it's gonna scratch my itch for more FF tactics but I was severely disappointed by the demo. I was looking forward to this when I saw the trailer and thought the visuals were good but shame the combat and strategy felt shallow compared to other titles. I'd rather spend $60 on Triangle Strategy than invest on this game to be honest. @@7F0X7

Is this a gacha game? Unfortunate, interest diminished right away.

Only the online mode is. The story mode is free from micro transactions

FF tactics sucked. Everyone needs to start admitting it and stop acting like it was anything but a great story, it felt adult and cool at the time, sure. The only tactic was get a melee tank, go towards closest enemy and attack...repeat until victory. Archers were garbage damage even vs flyers and mages were just a complete joke. You honestly didnt even have to heal in 90% of battles, just load up on melee and march to the closest thing and wack it.

Well, a lot of other players seemed to have enjoyed it thoroughly

@@akhafasuYes it had a great look, and story. I enjoyed it for that, but the tactics side of it, was beyond basic and the balance was old school god awful. It needs to stop being held up as some amazing tactics game, it simply isnt. If you think it is, either you never played it since age 10, or you are letting nostalgia blind you to how badly designed and basic the actual gameplay is...

@@mlwg9317 I’ve played games older than it, started with Shining Force. But for me, FFT was good. I didn’t have a bad experience. It depends on which classes you play as and upgrade. That variety was something that really added depth to the game. You have your experience and if you didn’t like it, that’s ok. But I enjoyed it.

@@akhafasuI said I enjoyed it too, I also said its super basic, it was a broken Tank-Mage-Archer setup with again everything but melee being a complete joke. You can hit 4x harder with melee than than anything else and they can almost not be killed. Being able to play as 3 archetypes, with 2 being garbage isnt depth. What tactics did you ever have to use other than walk to enemy, attack, rinse and repeat? Tossing a few spells and arrows for no purpose or need isnt variety its a clear lack of balance and good game design.

Another low gatcha game. Hard pass. Take your gatcha and stick it somewhere safe. Enough is enough, I want normal games not something that will try to take over my wallet or all of my free time. Live service, gatcha and all other always online FOMO crap can get lost.

@@akhafasuSo they went for a longer time before they screw people over, nothing new or extraordinary. Still crappy gatcha that can go to hell and never come back.

its already 2024.... and we still get games like it was made in the 90's.... hard pass on this one. if you're gonna make a turn based rpg, atleast make it look like legend of heroes.

There’s a distinct style called 2D HD pixels and it’s quite popular. Games like Octotraveler and Triangle Strategy are really popular
