Final Fantasy Tactics - The War of the Lions
I'm a bit surprised that there is no thread alone for this game yet. (And if there is, I'm a total dolt.) The game came out yesterday, and I picked it up right away. Has anyone else played it? I'd like to get some thoughts about the gameplay and translation.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
It would seem, sir, that you are, in fact, a total dolt.
http://www.gamingforce.org/forums/rp...-alliance.html And yeah, I got it. The slowdown is awful, just fucking inexcusable. Nice new translation though. Still the best game ever. There's nowhere I can't reach. ![]() John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Oh yeah a thread covering three popular games at once. Great fucking thinking.
Tis your faith and upbringing that wrong you, not I. Yeah. Great translation there. Christians win again. I'll have to buy a PSP when Disgaea comes out on the 30th though. I'm sure the slowdown will be fine if I overclock the PSP. Most amazing jew boots |
I'm just happy it isn't as bad as the Japanese version. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ![]() The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
I know how to test this. Basically, when I did have a PSP, overclocking it to 333MHz made PowerStone run smoothly. If you overclock the PSP Slim to the same speed, and try the game, and it works, it's FFT itself which has problems, not the PSP Slim. I was speaking idiomatically. |

What do people think of the updated translation? Desperate for some responses, I happened upon the GameFAQs forum (trust me, I never linger) and they're all bitching that the new translation sucks, calling it "Old English". This doesn't even seem to be too Early Modern; the language to me seems fluid and more in-line with the game's setting. Or is that just me? I really like this translation. I'm in Chapter 2, and I am very impressed that there are multiple points where those updated watercolor-looking scenes are to be found. I wasn't expecting this much work put in the game... ...too bad they didn't do much with the lag.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I'll be playing Final Fantasy Tactics until either rheumatoid or death sets in. Definitely my favorite game of all time.
I wish they would release it beyond PSP as I have no intention of picking that up just for another FFT port, even if it has FMV now. I really like the pixellated storytelling of the original anyways though its good to know that the translation itself is beneficial. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Only thing that bugs me though, is the changing of the names. Teta is Tietra, or something like that, and Algus is something I don't even remember, and what's with Zalbaag? What for did the translator change the names? I understand the Nanten Knights changing and so on, but peoples names? The lag isn't as bad as I imagined, but it slows down the game, because every "special" attack is suffering the lag. I had to take counter attack off, because I grew tired of it slowing down the game every time someone attacked my characters. How ya doing, buddy? ![]() |
I'm not going to touch this. Not only is there slow-down, but I read that there are voice-acting cutscenes, which were "mute" in the JP version. If this is true, I'd rather not see the sort of dubs they pick.
Plus, the usage of Olde English really drives me away further. The game is meant to be medieval-ish, but there are guns and the like =p I wouldn't tag the new manner of speaking as perfectly appropriate, in my opinion. Plus they remove Cloud for Balthier. lolwtf. There are also two or so new jobs which supposedly suck quite badly. I'll stick to the original PSX one on my PSP. Way sexier. The storyline in that was already impossible to beat (except maybe by Xenogears~), and I'd rather not see if the new game tries to get kinky with the story somewhere along the lines. How ya doing, buddy?
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ![]() |
actually cloud is still in the game >.> as for me, I'll probably get over the slowdown but is the sound issue still there? I heard that some sound effect was pretty weird or just didn't "show up" in some special attack

There's nothing wrong with the new jobs. They're bonuses--not exactly meant to rewrite the entire way a player would approach the game. The Onion Knight proves a worthwhile payoff to those who drive themselves nuts doing everything there is to do in a game, for sure.
Pros of Lions War: +New bonus jobs +Bigger army capacity (24 instead of 16) +A couple of new cameos (both optional, and they don't play big parts in the story). +New, amazing-looking cinemas. +Rewritten script makes the story read way better. Cons: -Lag/slowdown in battle. -Sounds effects, particularly with magic spells, is dumbed-down quite a bit. -Certain cinemas take a small stutter-step in their first few seconds. Could go either way, depending on who ya are: +/- Voice acting. I was speaking idiomatically.

Oho ;O I was informed that Cloud was removed. I'm not an FFVII fanboy, but I'm a supporter of "leaving things as they were" in these sorts of instances.
What do you mean by "read" better on the story? ![]() What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And you're sure that some of the slowdown and what have you is not improved or at least less present when played on the 2000 SKU compared to the original model?
Cause I know Crisis Core has a HUGE difference in at least loading performance. As shown in the video below. http://laptoplogic.com/news/detail.php?id=3226 What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Well then. Here's to hoping for a patch for the game which is probably 2% likely to happen ^^;

![]() Cloud is still in the game. And about Dark Knights sucking... I would really really, really doubt it. Onion Knight might have good uses too. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? ![]() The War of the Lions |
There's a chemist named FUCHS in this game. Best game ever 10/10.
How ya doing, buddy? |
I don't have the game yet, but wasn't Gafgarrion (is that his name) a Dark Knight? I remember his abilities kicking ass...I wouldn't think that job would suck :/.
You know why this game rules? Because you can have an army with a HEAVENLY KNIGHT, A DIVINE KNIGHT, AND A HOLY SWORDSMAN. AND NOW A DARK KNIGHT (and an onion knight, but i don't know wtf that is yet).

FELIPE NO |
I just grabbed this (which was on sale locally for like 15 bucks, not that it mattered though just shocked me), now I need to find my PSP so I can enjoy the game =(
I honestly doubt the slowdown would bother me, I haven't even played FFT in ages so I don't remember how it used to run. Now if I only remembered how to get Cloud and all those other dudes. Although I guess I will certainly try to have one person master every class at least once for an Onion Knight to be super. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
