[PSP] 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.

I meant a thread alone for this game, as the other game focuses on PSP RPGs in general.

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.

Still the best game ever.

Damn straight.

How ya doing, buddy?

Did anyone else notice the new battles/scenes?

Spoiler:

I forgot his name... Loffrey? Something like that. He comes across Wiegraf who is mourning Milleuda, and tells him of their plot to overthrow privilege. That wasn't in the original, I'm pretty sure. And there's also the new fight, after the Lionel Gate fight, when you control Delita and are trying to protect Ovelia.

Those weren't in the original, were they?

How ya doing, buddy?

What strikes me as strange is that they obviously put a lot of effort into the game, otherwise. With the new scenes, including the animated ones, new events, etc., you would think that they would do us the favor of porting it correctly.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have forgotten how much I hate this game.

There must be something that I don't get, and haven't gotten in the past ten years, about the way the system works. I am literally losing each "new" battle three times before I win, and I'm usually at higher levels than the enemies and have skills that I figure would help. The computer just UTILIZES the characters better, I guess.

Until, of course, you receive
