Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
By: Square-Enix
Format: PlayStation Portable - PSP

The story intro (As taken from the instruction book):

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions:
Sustained by the Lord and Light, the twin headed lion reigns over the kingdom of Ivalice. A year has passed since the loss of the Fifty Years' War. The prince, thought two years of age, has ascended the throne, his father having been claimed by sudden malady. Too young to rule, the prince requites a regent, who would be king in all but name. The queen's brother, Duke Larg, had seemed the obvious choice for the regency. However, fearing the influence such an appointment would give the queen, the council refused to back him. Instead, they appointed the kings younger cousin, Duke Goltanna, as regent.

Duke Goltanna and Duke Larg were both generals who had distinguished themselves during the Fifty Years' War. Duke Goltanna counts as ally the greater part of the aristocracy loyal to the crown. However, the fallen nobility and free knights left in the aftermath of the Fifty Years' War have aligned themselves with Duke Larg.

With Duke Goltanna under the banner of the Black Lion, and Duke Larg under that of the White, the stage is set for what history would record as the War of the Lions.

Story: 5/5
You start out as a young boy named Rama. You must make some tough choices and witness some horrible events, while saving the world from the Zodiac Stones.

Sound: 3.5/5
The musical score of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is typical fantasy; it sets the mood and tone of this great tale. The new voice acting adds a great touch!

Graphics: 4.5/5
The in-game graphics have not been updated from the original game on the
PlayStation One. What made this edition of the game shine is the addition of some great-animated cut scenes with lots of voice acting placed at the right moments, when the drama and excitement are high. This was a great way to add more depth to the story and keep the same old game that we all love.

Game play: 3.5/5
The game play for this game is Strategy RPG. You move your pieces and attack, then the bad guys move and attack. The battle system for Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is very deep with being able to change your job class like Squire, Chemist, Knight, Archer, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Thief, Orator, Mystic, Geomancer, Dragoon, Samurai, Ninja, Arithmetician, Bard, Dancer or Mime. Just for this edition, two new job classes were added, a Dark Knight and the Onion Knight. The dark knight is my personal favorite because they start out strong. The Onion Knight is the strongest overall; you just need to build them in layers. (Oh, tons of work!) With mixing and matching job skills you could make tons of combinations like a Summoner that can cast Black magic and wield a sword, or a Ninja with white magic. Have fun with all the different possible combinations you can make. I like the jobs system in the taverns, in town you can gain much need Exp. points by taking on those extra jobs.

Replay Value: ?/5
With the story mode 1.5/5, with the addition of multiplayer this game is given new life. 3.5/5. You and your friend must have a copy of Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP. You can then choose between 2 modes. Melee = you vs. your friend or Co-Op you both vs. the computer.

Overall: 4.5/5
This game is a must have for any Final Fantasy fan or someone who enjoys mystery, political intrigue or Shakespearean tragedy. Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP is one of the gems that I've decided to hold onto and add to my very selective collection.

"Great!!", What a GREAT remake for the PSP. You are a final fantasy saga fan or a strategy/tactical gamer? you MUST play this game. The PSOne version was good, but with the new cinematics and voice acting the game rocks even more than ever. You will never get tired of playing over and over again!

"Fun but loooooooooooooong game", The game is fun, has some nice bonuses like FMV, voice acting, new jobs, new items, a better translated script. It does however, suffer from the same fundamental flaw as its predecessor, length of time. To build up job points and classes you basically have to spend hours upon hours beating your own people up and healing them and having someone sit there with the squire class and use "Focus" every turn to earn job points. It takes an insane amount of time to get job points without some kind of cheat. Without that, be prepared to spend a very long, long, LONG time on this game. Even being portable and being able to pick it up and set it down at whim while great, I still found myself frequently getting sleepy from boredom due to lack of necessity for interactivity. If you could program the character to do a set move every single turn every single time and just automate the task, the game would do a lot better.

"A Fun Challenge", This was a fantastic PSP game but I couldn't honestly reccommend it for everyone. There are certain jobs that you have to use early in the game or you'll die almost every time, and they don't make sense. The monk is by far one of the best classes for the first several hours of the game, but how do fists outhit a sword to the face? But anyway, once you get into the rythym of the game, it's a lot of fun, and I couldn't put it down until after 30 hours into it, and that was only because my PSP took a crap. As soon as I get it replaced, I intend to pick up right where I left off with this game, and I would suggest any hardcore RPG fans out there to pick this up to. It's well worth it's $20 price tag, and despite the challenge, it's a great buy.

"So Awesome but just so lacking", THis game is an amazing instalment in the final fantasy series. The characters are amazing, the graphics, the story, the gameplay, the character classes etc. were all near flawless. The only real problem is the replay ability. The game ends in a way that prevents you from continuing past its completion. Once you beat it, you just keep starting over at the halfway point of the last mission, so you can never leave it or ever go on to further develop your characters. That puts you at a complete standstill in the game with the only remedy being to have had the presence of mind to have made a separate save file before the last mission. Otherwise, once you beat it, that's it, you cant continue, you just have to restart the game all the way from the beginning, all that progress lost. Which sucks with a game like this. Thats why i can't give it 5 stars, im sorry FFT, but the end is just a let down.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"A good remake of a great game", I played this through and it feels to me just like the original did on the playstation, only with some fixes to the dialogue and such. Basically to me, it just feels like they cleaned it up and re-released it for PSP. I'd have been thrilled to see this released with HD graphics for PS3.

Anyway, the game is a heck of a lot of fun, the graphics are good, etc. The only thing I don't like is it seems harder to adjust the angles to see where units are. It might be a software bug, or it might just be that my eyes are having trouble with the small screen size on the PSP.

Anyway, it's a great game, if you liked the original, you'll love this as well. Very very good game.

"Nostalgic, But They Were Right", This is essentially the same game I remember from 1997, with cleaned-up dialogue -- something I'd always wished for -- and the addition of some very nice animated cut scenes, and of course, new secret characters, extra party slots, etc. The story is finally comprehensible and easy on the eyes. I strongly disagree with people who claim that the dialogue is "Shakespearean"; I assume they mean it's too formal and archaic to follow easily, but if they think that, I guarantee you they've neither read nor seen any Shakespeare.

Unfortunately, They were right. A port or re-make of a game should attempt to meet or exceed the quality of the original game in every area, but the graphical slowdowns and sound effect changes in The War of the Lions are very real and very noticeable, at least to a longtime fan of the game. They are a step backwards from the quality found in the original. In the very first battle, for example, when a certain Dark Knight uses one of his special abilities, you can see the game's speed go from smooth to stuttering, and the sound effect for the ability -- which used to be an intricate magical noise, followed by a SHINK! as the effect finished -- has been replaced by an odd blooping noise.

I don't know why Square decided not to fix the slowdown or why they replaced some of the excellent sound effects with lower-quality ones, but I feel it's a huge detriment to a game that otherwise would have been a perfect 10 in my book.

I docked two stars from my rating of this game for three reasons, because they hampered my enjoyment of it: The slowdowns (they had time to fix this during localization, but neglected to do so), the sound effects (same), and the fact that Square neglected to fix it before American release, didn't bother to inform anyone of the flaw, and apparently don't ever plan on fixing it.

I would have given it only 1 or 2 stars had the dialogue not been cleaned up and extra content added. Fun factor is still four, because it's still essentially the same Final Fantasy Tactics I love.

"This remake makes me sad.", Imagine if everything you wanted to do took 4 times longer than it should take. That's what playing this game is like. All of the special animations slow down to a crawl, and you're left wondering why you paid $40 for a game that came out 8 years ago, but has LESS SPEED. The new dialogue is repulsive, the slow-down is unreal and unbearable, and the new classes are positively worthless in single-player mode (the dark knight requires mastering 2 jobs and getting job level 8 in 4 others! you'd finish the game before you got half of that done).

This is by far the worst remake of a Final Fantasy game I've ever played in my life, and that's saying a lot, because Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my all-time favorite games. So good, in fact, that I can't even bear to give this remake 1 star. If you want to play this game, find the original. Avoid this remake at all costs.

"Final Fantasy Tactics Review", If you have played Final Fantasy Tactics for the Playstation 1 then you have pretty much played this game. The plot is basically the same but there are some nice new animated cut scenes which are a pleasure to watch. Overall a good game I would have liked a few more extras from the playstation version.

"Great Remake with One flaw", I played the PS1 version of this game years ago and it is what got me into the whole SRPG (Strategy Role Playing Game) genre. This game is more or less a straight port of the original game, with a multi player mode, remastered cut-scenes, a few extra characters and classes, and a new script.
First the Good:
The cut-scenes are awesome. In the original version of the game their is one cut-scene in the beginning (maybe one towards the end, I never finished the game). It is nice to see new videos. Second there were some problems with the translations in the first game, and this fixed it. It is also cool to see some extra special characters plus and addition of new classes. One of the stronger points of this game for me was the in depth class system, and the new classes are cool.

Now the Bad:
Personally, I prefer ed the old script because it read easier. The new script is much more formal, reads more like Shakespeare, which is great for plays but personally I find not the greatest for video games. And the biggest flaw with this game is the spells. I did play this on the 1000PSP model, but I don't imagine it being any different with the slim. The spells/special skill move PAINFULLY slow. Now for those of you new to the SRPG, you have a number of charters on a map (normally a grid) whom you move and attack. All of the attacks have certain area in which they can effect. This genre generally consists of very many maps that can take lots of time to complete. The problem with this game is that on top of an already slow genre, it is even slower. It almost seems as though the PSP has trouble rendering the skills/spells. This makes the game painfully slow. I couldn't even make it through the first chapter of the game. Honestly, I would find the PSone version of the game.
