[DS] Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

The original Tactics is a grindfest, actually. Most people just actually cared to do it because of supplementary surrounding world... Neverending Story Advance just doesn't exactly get my grinding boner to rise. By and large, Tactics has flaws, but I think the Judgment System just becomes the gaming level deal breaker for Advance. A2 might surprise given where it's actually taking place, I think the haste of judgment is more in the surface similarities aesthetically to Advance 1 than anything else...

That Judgment shit sounds gay as hell still, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seems, on paper, to be a much more concrete way to establish a transparent strategy and objective... but the shit just rubs me the wrong way. Especially given that Laws only apply to the player and not to the CPU. I mean, it might be designed that way, but limiting variety to me does not equal compelling/interesting gameplay.

I'll need to give it a shot in any case, but at least it won't cost 600 dollars to do so.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I realize that the end result is very intrinsic to gameplay, but I enjoy what I play actively. Judgment and Abilities don't create a solid foundation for just outright well done scenario design. It's certainly not the worst it could be... but FFTA just leaves such a rotten feeling regarding the systems that A2 just seemingly inherits. I am and will remain skeptical, but shit on paper ain't gonna hold up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Someone's gotta be the lowest common denominator (sup, Lukage). Game's not too bad so far. I'm not on Hard though, as I can't dedicate the time to that mode. Is there anything specific to Hard Mode?

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