And in return.  :)

“It’s the narrative of Liberal Democratic Party members and hawks in the Japanese military.”

This is it. The lack of quality storytelling is the downfall of even the most charming and well-intentioned indie game. I liked Fell Seal (the most successful of the independent imitators to date, IMO) but I will never LOVE Fell Seal. Both the presentation and the story fall far short of it’s forebears.

It’s a…

In that case it’s also “crucial” to underline the fact of abuses carried on in the US and in the name of the US around the world.

“It’s crucial to underline that fact”

The comparison is because if Japan hadn’t been committing war crimes and invading literally every neighboring country, the tragedy of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would not have happened.

‘Dropping the a-bombs was justified,’ is a reasonable statement, and arguably a correct one. ‘The citizens of Japan deserved to be a-bombed’ is much less tenable position. A small distinction, maybe, but an important one.

Yeah I’m pretty sure I actually own the PSP version but haven’t played it. (If I remember correctly I picked it up when there was news that the PSP store was going to be shut down.)

If you like FFT, Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a game I can’t recommend enough, even if you bounced off it first go round (I did with Let Us Cling Together on the PSP when it came out, for whatever reason). The production values, quality of life improvements, presentation, the newly orchestrated soundtrack make the remaster…

They remember that Japan was the bad guy in the war ? They way they depict themselves as victims when they were the nazis allies and were doing things only slightly less horrible than them is appalling. You deserved the two nukes on your head.

Well, they definitely have MORE systems, but it’s arguable that they’re better. Disgaea 1 and 2 were excellent games although they’re kind of like Saturday morning cartoons compared to FFT. Disgaea 3 and on really began to suffer from bloat, mistaking content for quality, in my opinion.

Tactics Ogre is a great game and probably the second best of ‘those games’ in my opinion. It loses out to FFT in the art department, with FFT having bigger and bolder sprites and better animations overall. The remake of TO has solved this to a degree, but FFT was also better balanced. In the original TO archers were…

It’s probably a reasonable PR move on the part of Japan’s Warner Bros if there are people in Japan reacting to the memeing.

The Japanese should respond by making a movie about Pearl Harbor. That’ll show those Americans what for.

But these memes also flattened Oppenheimer’s severity, creating a space for people to make jokes about an actual tragedy.

I agree that Final Fantasy Tactics does feel a bit like a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, but I do remember Tactics Ogre also being pretty good, albeit slightly more frustrating than FFT.

by the way you describe the systems it sounds more Tactics Ogre than Final Fantasy Tactics, not that there isn't overlap. But it would explain things like the job system. Sounds like my bag, even if it wasn't for you - thanks! 

Disappointing, but unsurprising. FFT was a textbook example of a game that was more than the sum of its parts, with nearly flawless execution in every aspect of the game, from sound, to art, to art DIRECTION (one that most developers of games like this seem to completely miss), and on down the line from battle systems…

That’s an entirely good and accurate edit, thank you.

You aren’t the only one wanted a Links Awakening-ish remake of both these games, ideally in a package that includes both for a reasonable price. These are my favorite Zelda games of all time, and i have bought them sooooo many times (I have them both physically as well as digitally on the 3DS as well)
