We were missing out on impossibly dumb overdesigned MC

I wish they would have just made a Final Fantasy Tactics 2. Advance overcomplicated things for no reason.

I did every quest in both of the Advance games. I still think overall the original FFT was better.

i remember this game got an inordinate amount of hatred when it released. Mostly by anal-retentive "purists" who hated one central point/spoiler of the plot. Seems nowadays it is universally praised, almost.

I played it. I enjoyed it. Didn't finish it, but i put a good 8 or 10 hours into it on flights or whatnot.

The law system was kind of annoying, but overall I enjoyed FFTA. I liked FFT better overall, but I would probably be more likely to replay FFTA at this point.

Black Thread or White Thread are common issues. If the game didn't have a 64 item limit on such quest items, it wouldn't be an issue.

Glad I didn't get rid of anything important. The Corrupt Judges missions Post-300 Quests were fun.

They shouldn't have used the FFT name for those two GBA games, I think 99% of the dislike comes from being bait and switched into a children's game and the other 1% is because the Law system was fucking stupid.

Makes me glad I haven't played FFT. Allowed me to enjoy FFTA and FFTA2 more.

As for the law system, you are meant to play around it, particularly for major battles or better yet use it to your advantage.

I get that, but for me it just amounted to "move your character on the map until the laws benefit you". I liked the idea, but the execution leaved much to be desired.

They did make FF12: Revenant Wings for DS, which was essentially another Tactics game.

That one I actually rather liked.

I honestly love the shit outta TA. Greatly influenced my FF nostalgia and my passionate adoration for the Ivalice setting. It's different tone and style-wise from the first Tactics, but still charming anyway.

Though objectively speaking some aspects of it didn't age very well. Story isn't great and Marche has to be maybe the absolute worst protagonist in FF history.

It would be nice for a third, would be nice if they brought back the Swordbreaker allowing to learn Steal Weapon. Still play FFTA every couple of years to get the Cinquedea early to get steal Steal Weapon from that one early thief.

Tactics S wasn't cancelled. It came out in Japan, was awful, and then died before coming overseas.

The main character being a villain made for a novel experience, but it's still nowhere as good as the original.

I assume they got rid of it because it was OP af...only to turn around and break A2 way harder with the Auction system.

And they should've just gotten rid of the Assassin class entirely instead of nerfing them into near-uselessness.

A lot of people on CE would rather take a completely fictional fantasy world built on lies that lets them have what they want. Actually forcing somebody to live in reality is a terribly cruel punishment to them, that's why they like to meme that the main character was a villain.

I never played the original but I loved playing tactics advance.

I'm not sure where people said it was complicated? I had never played a turn-based tactical RPG before and young teen me did just fine.

The post-game stuff after beating the Final Boss is clearly non-canon. You go back to the real world and Ivalice ceases to exist.

"Uhh, yeah Doned, you caught me, I'm still going to Ivalice to have fun and fart around with magic powers, but, umm...it's non-canon, so it doesn't count!"

Non-canon would be a more believable excuse if the postgame content was completely detached from the plot of the main game, or if Mewt and Doned were still around; but it specifically calls attention to the fact that Marche is still in Ivalice while Mewt is not via a short questline with Babus.

I don't care if it's regular or Advance, I still really want a new FF Tactics game that's not some mobile gacha trash. I enjoyed all three of them greatly.

Preferably without the laws systems but at this point I'll take what I can get as long as it's not mobile.

The game clearly ends with Ivalice vanishing, so the post-game is a parallel series of events at best. Also, Doned is still apparently around, with his group, Clan Doned and a faction of it, the Doned Faction, spawning from Ambervale.
