iPad Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lions - (by Square Enix)

i wasnt going to get this with the steep price...but these screen kicked me in my nostalgia.....

 

Oddly makes no difference with this title... heh. I was surprised... works with all my other games.

 

Alrite, thats bad, well gonna wait for Ipad version then thanks for trying.

 

Damn, after seeing those 2x mode pics, I am totally going to wait for the iPad HD version... the scaling looks nasty in 2x mode... *sigh*

 

Quick questions if you already got it please.
1. What is the size todownload?
2. How do you control the camera?
3. What other iOS adjustments/modifications/improvements are there?

Thanks.

 

(I have not downloaded)
1. From first page "Size of the app is 456 MB."
2. Seems to be a button in the top left with pan and zoom icons
3. Over the PSP version? Auto save, retina, touch UI, No slowdown with animations (Of spells etc)

 

2. You can easily zoom or rotate by pinching and swiping. At least that's what I saw in the video.

TBH the graphics look bad enough that I doubt retina will make much of a difference.

 

No, they had to exclude multiplayer. Check out the FAQ here:

judging by the video, theyve really put some nice touch controls in there, looks good.

The only problem I have with FF Tactics, nothing to do with price or port. It is the game itself. I purchased the game on PSP a few years ago and had great fun and actually got quite far in the game. However, I made the disatrous mistake one day of looking at a guide online. Turns out I had effectively been "playing it wrong" Basically the overwhelming options for training up in jobs. I had made a few decisions hours previously which meant that I either had to persist with my crappy choices or grind for ages to unlock the jobs i wanted. That totally killed it for me and I lost interest instantly. I am considering picking this up, but hate that nagging feeling of "I'm not playing this correctly".

This is probably my own OCD tendencies kicking in, but we can't help how we feel can we!

 

Its annoying that they didn't even bother to make the text more readable I don't mind it not being retina supported but without easy readable text it makes all the other updates seem pointless especially considering how long we've had to wait

 

No multiplayeris such a disappointment on a game like this. I wonder f they wil add it in an update...

 

I know what you mean, but most RPGs with skill tree, jobs tree, etc are always like that. It happened to me when playing RPG games twice. Both times I ended up grinding to get the 'right' skills but that amount of grinding really ruined my gaming experience and in the end I didn't finish the game.

Luckily both games are just alright, so I don't have stained memories of great games like FFT.

 

Played this (FFT) on the PSOne a couple of years )) ago and loved it. I do remember that I came to a battle that I couldn't win and quitted. So I'll give it another try on iOS

 

I have played every incarnation of this game back to the original PS version and have loved each of them. This game was probably the second game that really hit home with me the whole "grinding" aspects of RPGs - the first being FF1. But even through the grind this game still rocks. The gameplay mechanics, job systems, etc. really enhance the replay value.

 

I agree that this game is good, I really did enjoy it when I played it, but I hate relpay value, because I'm not someone who wants to replay anything. It's very few games that I would ever replay, so I want to experience everything I can in one playthrough and then be done with it. Always on the lookout for new experiences rather than re-hashing old ones. Please bear in mind, this is just how I feel about these things, I know that other people love the fact that they can get many playthroughs from one game, just not for me.

I will end up picking this up, just gotta convince my OCD tendencies to allow me to enjoy it as a singular experience....Or just get gamefaqs on my ipad sitting next to me and have the perfect playthrough.

Joke

 

Just so I didn't mislead anyone, I didn't mean the speech bubble text looks blurry on iPhone 4. It looks blurry when viewed on a laptop, because my laptop doesn't have retina screen. But on iPhone 4 it looks much better since the pixels are condensed.

I was just saying it's not true retina since true retina screenshots still look smooth even viewed on laptop, and look even smoother on retina screen.

 

Confirmed out in Aus, $16.99 (no surprises there).

I was sure our store didn't update till 5am.
