Ratings and Reviews
Final Fantasy Tactics
Yes, it's a mediocre port that crashes often and the touchscreen controls are awkward compared to a PS1 controller, but the autosave is solid and I've not lost more than a turn in over 30 hours of gameplay.
And unlike the PS1 version, it lets you save during battles, which is a big bonus.
But I can forgive it these flaws because it's a truly engaging, complex and innovative turn-based tactical rpg with a great storyline and addictive gameplay.
A stunning array of equipment, job classes and abilities as well as challenging battles keep me coming back over and over to manage my party and level-up my characters. There's always one more ability to learn to perfect a character for the battle at hand.
The stylised graphics still hold up 16 years on from its original release.
The 3D rotatable field and sprite characters have a timeless feel about them, I guess because even at the time the game deliberately eschewed smooth edges to foreground its bitmap aesthetic.
Looking at it again in 2013, visually it manages to transcend retro and goes straight to classic.
The sound has perhaps not aged so well, but it fits with lo-rez visual style.
In all, a retina iPad is perhaps not the ideal device for this game, but it saves me digging through dusty boxes for my PS1 and those lame memory sticks you had to use to save games.
Definitely worth the download if you like this kind of thing.
I recommend to everyone
Fantastic game, lots of depth in unit types, ability combinations, enemy types and terrain types.
As with all dated games, some combinations of abilities are far stronger than others.
There has no in game difficulty setting and the game is almost impossible for new players at points.
No thank you. No thank You!
I have tried playing this on my iPad Pro.
The issue is not how well it runs.
It is with how the game controls. That is. It functions 'fine'.
But on a 12.9 inch screen, the controls make no sense. I have to move from my entire arm from one side, all the way to another.
No thank you.
Maybe try the 'phone' version. I don't know.
