i played one hour in FFTA and am pleasantly surprised. i made the mistake of reading a review prior to playing that made me just kind of sigh softly to myself.
so........ if anyone cares this is the d/l for the moment.
the story
is more kid friendly so far. not really childish, just a
lot lighter than Ramza's tale so far.
the graphics are quite pretty and has a neat coloring filter-ish option that adjust to the gba, sp, or tv (via gamecube).
the battle system is very familiar to Tactics players but has some odd twists that is pretty damned cool. you have Laws in every "engagement" that turn off certain options during the battle. one battle will disalow item usage, some disalow the fight command or using a sword. You
can break them, however, with bitchslap that looks fairly exploitable so far. basically if it says items and you use an item you get kicked out of the fight and pay a small fee.
now here's the kicker from my POV. i'm playing this via rom and em BUT I own both the GBA and i bought FFTA today so no preachy preachy, my eyes are fucked and i'm
not paying money for an items that is 'less fucked'.
great game so far.
