INFORMATION
Since Summer is pretty much winding down, I thought it might be a good idea to delve into our first tried-and-true RPG heavyweight series here on the Forum.
I did go with the obvious choice: Final Fantasy.
I also tried to pick a Final Fantasy which could [hopefully] bring new players to the series. So I went with Tactics, especially considering the fact that turn-based combat usually turns most players off of RPGs.
From the Wikipedia:
PLATFORMSFinal Fantasy Tactics is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Squaresoft (later changed to Square and now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation video game console. It is the first game of the Final Fantasy Tactics series and was released in Japan in June 1997 and in the United States in January 1998. The game combines thematic elements of the Final Fantasy video game series with a game engine and battle system unlike those previously seen in the franchise. In contrast to other 32-bit era Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy Tactics uses a 3D, isometric, rotatable playing field, with bitmap sprite characters.
I'll be playing this one on the PlayStation, this title is also available on the Sony PSP, Nintendo GameBoy Advance and Mobile as well.
