FFT for GBA - Page 2

**Kane** · March 13th, 2002

Saying FFT sucks is like saying the Atlantic Ocean has no water in it. It's just plain wrong!!!!!

**Bgnome** · March 13th, 2002

well, some people can handle strategy, and some cant

Laban · March 13th, 2002

I think FFT would be great on the GBA. I'll definitely buy one

**Bgnome** · March 13th, 2002

thats one thing about FFT, is that it actually offers challenge! (if you don't level up too far ahead of the missions)

Esturk · March 14th, 2002

Once you've played through FFT as much as I have, nothings hard anymore! Oh and why was it Nintendo did not make the GBA backlit anyway's?

**Kane** · March 14th, 2002

Battery power. Pure and simple. That's why it last decades longer than the gear.

Exodus · March 14th, 2002

i wonder how come sony hasn't tried making a handheld... but then again, it would be pretty hard to compete with GB. so... i guess we should be expecting MS to try? stupid MS...

Golden Sun is a flawless masterpiece, FFT is TRASH !

I would agree if Golden Sun was replaced with a game of greater value. FFT's story is better and the battle effects range from "as good as" to "much better".

I would like to see what they do with the fmv's. :P Will they become still art with text scrolling over them or maybe the scenes will be acted out like so much of it is in the battlefield settings?

**Kane** · March 15th, 2002

What's in FMV in FFT apart from the intro? I can't remember anything.

Taisen · March 15th, 2002

I remember part of the ending was in fmv.

Exodus · March 15th, 2002

yeah, i believe theres a movie at the end, but i'm not totally sure. but FMVs aren't that important.

Taisen · March 15th, 2002

Voice of a Sega CD fan:
Aren't that important to whom?

Exodus · March 16th, 2002

to the story and gameplay

Taisen · March 16th, 2002

But they aren't people.

Exodus · March 17th, 2002

who said they had to be people?

**Kane** · March 18th, 2002

Ok, I am now officialy lost.... What the hell you on Taisen?

Ninjaa · March 19th, 2002

Yeah, I'm lost too. For FMV in Final Fantasy Tactics, there were two clips at the beginning, and one at the end. I don't really see a need for them.

There was some tricky stuff going on in the game, such as 3D battlegrounds, and a bit of FMV, buit I think that most of the 516MB of space it is taking up on my hardrive is just bloatware. PSX developers were allowed to be really lazy, an didn't really bother with saving much space. In comparison, I have Tactics Ogre (PSX) sitting on my harddrive as well. It takes up a whopping 77MB. Not too bad, but since it was a SNES port to begin with, I would think that they might have added a little junk to it.

I really see no reason why the GBA couldn't run FFT perfectly. Of course the FMV would be mostly dropped, ala Silent Hill GBA, but I think that there would be room enough for everything else, and I don't think the 3D battlegrounds would be that much problem.

I actually bought a GBA as soon as I heard that Square was back. Since Tactics Ogre comes out next month, I am a happy man indeed.
