Brandon from Gamer Professionals takes a look at Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and about what made the game special enough to deserve more potential sequels.
Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.
One of gaming’s most successful ‘isekai’ stories, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance puts you in the role of a kid transported to Ivalice and pulls no punches along the way.
Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.
First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.
But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."
I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).
About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
+1
I will be more than happy if they bring back Parasite Eve franchise too ( Not T3B )
Bring fft to steam
Personally I would much rather have a Tactics game more in the vein of the original game. I liked the advance games alot but the drastic shift in tone didn't feel like Tactics for me. The game play and depth were certainly still present in the advance games but a large part of why I loved the original game so much was the characters and story and how it tackled things not often tackled back then.
In general though I have always wondered why exactly SE ditched the series. I mean tons of people want a new one and the genre in general still has great games coming out of it.
Would be cool if they made a new one as a 20-30$ download game. I imagine it would sell quite well.
Easily one of my top 3 on the GBA.
