I never really cared for FFT's story all that much, I was there for the gameplay. You don't like that opinion? Blame yourself or God.

Delita was 100% wrong

He used everyone that loved and cared for him for his "journey to save the poor". Only that's what he told himself. What he simply wanted was revenge. A lot of times things are always simpler then they want it to be.

Do we really need spoiler tags here? Why couldnt the TC tag it there and save us all the trouble?

I thought St. Ajoras background as well as where Altima came from and what it was could have been explained a lot better.

Other than that I agree it had a pretty good story.

After the Switch version came along and fixed my biggest issues with the PSP release, I'm finally and surprisingly inclined to agree.

FFT might still have the edge on soundtrack, though.

Yes to the first, and unlike Cloud, Cressida is actually well worth the effort to recruit. So the second isn't really that big of a selling point in actuality.

Yeah but he was so wrong it looped around to being right. Everything worked out in the end except for his marriage lol

No waaaaay. I hate the PSP version - but that orchestral soundtrack is second only to SOTN in its greatness.

I did specify 'might' because I haven't played TO:R long enough compared to FFT to form a fair opinion on the soundtrack.

I'd argue it didn't workout in the end either, didn't he rule like a tyrant and then got stabbed by Ovelia , his final words being "Ramza what was your end in all of this?" In his final moments he looked back and had an "oh fuck what have I become" moment.

The plot is great centering Ramza. A righteous person who literally throws away his family name and heritage to fight his own corrupts brothers along against other corrupt nobles, a shadowy and manipulative church all while being used by Delita and everyone else thinking he's some villain.

Not for nothing, but I can pinpoint the exact moment I knew I liked TO:R more than FFT, and that was when (Big Tactics Ogre: Reborn spoilers) Vyce gets executed in the Chaotic path. I've always hated Delita, I especially hated TO's 'Delita-but-smarmier' version of the archetype, and I was so pleasantly surprised and overjoyed when he got exactly what was coming to him for playing the game of thrones as far over his own head as he did. And of course the cherry on top is that he comes back as a random zombie during Cressida's big rescue mission, just in case you thought his pan-the-camera-away death scene left any ambiguity.

I've wanted to play it for the longest time. Played FF/2/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/12, but never Tactics. If only there were some way to get it on PC.

Kind of like Game of thrones. Starts political, then ice demons, but ends political.

It would be amazing if SE actually tried to adapt this to an HBO caliber TV show , oh man. Imagine that, expanded roles for multiple POV characters besides just Ramza, would be awesome.

The only exposure I have to Tactics' story was through the lens of FFXIV StB alliance raids.

And that's the worst way to experience it.
