[Multiplatform] Ivalice Alliance

Oh damn...

I need a PSP. Like, soon.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just love the new logo.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So...

- Square Enix revealed new details in Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou for PSP, in addition to the Onion Knights, the game will also have the job class Dark Knight, and Balthier from Final Fantasy XII, as a playable character in the game. Balthier will play an important role in the game.

From: The Magic Box.

EDIT: I got a little more from here

Balthier


Dark Knight


Wish: I hope Dark Knights have a lot more than just Dark and Night Sword as their abilities.
LOL moments: #1: Gafgarion, you are no longer unique. #2: Now you can really make Ramza a Dark Knight zomg!

While I definately agree that FFTA was not as good as the original, what I tried to say is that at least both systems are getting a "new" Tactics game each. Hence they are even.

And yeah, I'm hoping that FFTA2 will be a lot better than the first, system and story wise.

I was speaking idiomatically.

If this is true we might get this game by let's say... Fall?

Time to cross fingers.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I wonder if there's a new character incoming. In a recent picture there's a small silhoutte besides Balthier. The kanji says "who is this character?"

Some people say it could be Llednar from FFTA. Could it be...?

Damn I want this game so much. I'm all over.

FELIPE NO

Gonna host the pictures in my Photobucket account.

Silhoutte & Llednar

And yeah, I would agree that adding Llednar would be kinda weird but... who knows.

@Denicalis: That would rule.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Wooo the forum is back!

Anyway, new info and pictures, the new character was revealed. It wasn't Llednar after all but it's from FFTA (FFT A2 in this case)





Scan, artwork for Luso and finally, the japanese box art.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, I'm annoyed they managed to screw the game with those details. However, there are really cool new features and that'll have to do it for me.

I mean, I bothered to finish FFIV Advance... >_>

There's nowhere I can't reach.

(Reader Question) Are there any plans to fix the supposed slow down from the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions?
Charlie: The slow down is not really bad, but what little there is in the game is out of our hands.

Well... damn. >_>

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

*Xaekid starts casting Raise*

There have been some news lately, kinda weird nobody posted them. D:



According to Siliconera the american version of the game will retain almost the same boxart, hell, I would say that they even improved it.

RPG Land has some new english screenshots right here and finally...

A taste of the new VA for cutscenes: http://www.us.playstation.com/Media/...=ILC-RSS-Media

Gah! I can't wait, 2 months more...

I was speaking idiomatically.

1up's preview about The War of the Lions:

Quote:

The Japanese version of the game sold respectably in May, but it suffered from a number of notable shortcomings. The most frustrating was the constant slowdown that plagued the battles; seemingly every small action caused the PSP to stutter briefly, and many visual effects (particularly those from magic spells) caused the game speed to slow to a crawl. The U.S. edition of the game doesn't completely smooth over these issues, but they've been dramatically reduced; now the technical issues are about on par with the minor slowdown exhibited in the PS1 release and are no longer distracting.

Sweet.

Quote:

Disappointingly, the one other technical flaw of the Japanese version hasn't been addressed: The game's sound still lacks the reverb of the PlayStation original, giving the excellent score by Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata a slightly flat feel.

Not so sweet. :/

And finally, a little taste of the new localization:

Quote:

You have a mission! As you know, barbarians are rapidly increasing here in Gallione. The traitorous Death Corps detest the royal family. We cannot overlook them. We will begin exterminating these traitors. By order of our Master. Larg's Knights stationed at Igros Castle and many other groups will participate. Your duty is to support the flank. Specifically, you'll go to Igros and help guard it.... Cadets, ready your swords! A gang of tortured thieves is trying to sneak into this town. We'll begin preparations now to keep them out of town! Come with me! This is the frontline of operations! That's all! Prepare immediately!

Quote:

The Order of the Northern Sky has an assignment for its knights apprentice. As I'm sure you're already aware, the number of brigands roaming Gallionne is on the rise. Among them, the Corpse Brigade... a seditious lot with a grudge against the Crown. Rogues such as they must be dealt with. The Order has been commanded to undertake an operation to eliminate the Brigade -- an operation of a grand scale. We will not be acting alone. The Order will be joined by, among others, His Excellency Duke Larg's royal guard, stationed at Eagrose. This will leave Eagrose Castle undermanned. Your task will be to proceed there, and support us from the rear by bolstering its defenses.... I've just received word that a band of thieves routed by our knights flees here to Gariland, seeking refuge. We will move to stop them, and finish the task of our brothers. You, young apprentices, will accompany us. This is but a squall before the storm of battle. Prepare yourselves at once! Dismissed!

Gah, October can't come fast enough.

Checking the recently released videos, the slowdown is not as bad as the japanese version. However is not as good as the original version either.

And I think that sequence is when a character falls into a trap (that were previously set by your opponent in VS mode) you have to input it without mistakes in order to avoid being affected by the trap.
