Board 8 > Looking back, was I supposed to hate FFTA?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Because I know everyone did. But I also know everyone on the internet is an elitist, so if it doesn't live up to the predecessor or elements are changed without actually compromising the quality of the game itself, it's automatically bad.

Personally, I found learning the system, leveling up my characters, and engaging in clan wars far more enjoyable than the punishing, brutal learning curve which was thrown at me in the original.

I thought it was just too sluggish to really enjoy for what it was.

Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

It was an okay game for me, but not a great one like I was expecting. Well, until I got rid of an item that's necessary for completing the game. Then I was pissed.

I kinda like the plot. Should've painted Marche in a more morally ambiguous light, true, but it's a story about the dangers of escapism.

...which is really rather odd coming from a video game, a form of escapism. <_<

It was annoying to skip days just to have good rules
But aside from the rules it was enjoyable

One of my favorite FFs.

I enjoyed everything about that game.

I thought FFTA was great, but FFTA2 failed to hold my interest. There seemed to be no plot at all and the battle system was unbearably slow.

FFTA is a completely average game.

FFTA(2) are fine games.

They have issues, certainly. Some of the laws were silly (I'm fine with the idea of laws, but saying you can't damage Moogles when you're fighting an entire team of Moogles... yeah), the AI was horrendous (0% chance of success? I'll try it!), and things were hideously imbalanced (90% chance of causing Death or 90% chance of causing Stop... hmm, let me think), but they're not terrible.

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

FFTA/FFTA2 have good gameplay, but horrible story and characters. Just like FFT, both games are easy to completely break open.
I did like both games and finished all 300 missions in both.

I enjoyed FFTA, but couldn't bother to finish FFTA2. Go figure.

Then again, I was mostly in it for the character progression. I loved getting more skills for my characters in that game, frustrating as trying to find the right weapon may have been.

I can't pin down exactly what I disliked about FFTA2, but...

Seriously. Laws all but ruined that game for me.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

As a kid I didn't mind the story though some of it did strike me as dickish. Now playing it it's like... Yep, Marche is a giant dick. The rest of the game is just fine though, though the battles are a bit slow paced, and dear god the opening cinematic is disgustingly long. Laws were stupid and it just fostered me as a kid waiting for the absolute perfect set of laws before engaging in a battle. The tier 3 no damage to x race laws were just absurdly silly though.
