Ero Elohim Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Seeing as it's most likely going to have a better translation, I might need to get this. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Shit now I have to buy a PSP 10 character limit Quote
JoeFu Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I read that the PSP price is going down soon, might have happened already. So yeah... Quote
Hawkwing Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 I read that the PSP price is going down soon, might have happened already. So yeah... it was $170 american at EB over easter weekend Quote
prophetik music Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 wow, this is going to be pretty cool, i think. if it's well done. Quote
Bahamut Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 it was $170 american at EB over easter weekend Yeah, that's an official price drop on the Core Pack. Quote
linkspast Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 So is this a new game or another port with added features. Quote
Fenrir Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 So is this a new game or another port with added features. So I guess you didn't read the first post, huh? Quote

The retranslation of FFT I've always wanted. Too bad it's on PSP. Well the PSP will eventually be cheap, and I'll still be alive. Although I'd rather play the game on something that isn't a portable.

Oddllama Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 ah ahhhh lame. I want this. Versus play? aaaahhhhh... It's the only thing on the PSP I care about. Why? Come on Square... you have games on DS... aaaahhhh... Quote
Hawkwing Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 So is this a new game or another port with added features. So I guess you didn't read the first post, huh? i thought i laid out the information pretty bluntly.... Quote
Avatar of Justice Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 It's the only thing on the PSP I care about. Why? Probably because the PSP uses a processor similar to the original Playstation, thus saving them the trouble of completely recoding FF Tactics. Although in order for my answer to make sense, Square would have to be coding in a lot of assembly instead of something sane like mostly C and C++. Does anyone know anymore about this? Quote
Alpine Flame Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 That's true. Coding for the DS is ALOT harder than programming for the PSP. The PSP language (I forget the specific name) is really really close to that which was used with the original playstation, of course tweaked a bit for more flashy stuff and whatnot. Quote
The Pezman Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 According to teh RPGamer, it's not yet slated to make an appearance stateside. So.... just thought you all oughta know. Quote
SwordBreaker Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Well...the original Final Fantasy Tactics introduced me to the world of Stratagy RPGs, so I'm sure I'm going to get this one once it gets released in English. Hopefully, the somewhat questionable localization of the original gets improved in the PSP port. I remember getting REALLY confused with the dialogue at times. I'm all for new characters and stuff, but in the same time I fear that Balthier and that FFTA dude will screw up the original storyline and the Ivalice timeline continuity. I hear that Balthier has a major role in FFT's story so I'm kind of curious of how Square-Enix is approaching his addition. I mean...Cloud's addition was pretty cool and it didn't screw up anything whatsoever since his backstory was explained via time travel. But as for Balthier, we all know that he's actually from Ivalice of a different time or dimension. Same thing with the FFTA guy. The FFTA series takes place in a difference universe according to the creators. Quote
kamoh Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Farlem. Expect Mustadio to be nixed for Balthier methinks. Quote
TSU Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Farlem.Expect Mustadio to be nixed for Balthier methinks. Mustadio's on the box art, so he's probably in. I really don't know how Balthier will work with this though. Quote
Hawkwing Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Farlem.Expect Mustadio to be nixed for Balthier methinks. I'm pretty sure they didnt REMOVE anything. And having two special characters with guns will make the game even easier methinks. No matter how much i loved this game i always thought it was way too easy. Quote
Triad Orion Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 ...Goddammit. First the PSP's getting an improved port of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, now this?! My S-RPG senses are screaming at me to go buy a PSP for these... arrgh. *Shakes fist* Looks pretty bad ass. Any word on the American release date? Quote

zircon Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Mustadio's on the box art, so he's probably in.I really don't know how Balthier will work with this though. Probably just a secret character, right? Much like Cloud's appearance? Probably not a serious storyline addition. Quote
