Final Fantasy Tactics A2

… Well. .. It strongly reminds me of FFXII: Revenant Wings, which isn’t exactly a good thing.

So far, I’ve only played about 3 quests worth, so that’s hardly anything at all. But right now, my first impressions aren’t the best.

The main character, Luso, is the typical dense-and-hyper hero. He doesn’t seem to be the sharpest tool in the drawer, but to make up for that he’s energetic and enthusiastic.. He’s also somewhat fearless: he’s lost in another world and he’s not even all that worried. He reminds me a lot of Vaan and I’m not sure what I think of that.

Game play is not exactly what I expected. After playing TWEWY which abuses the DS functions, FFTA2 disappoints me somewhat, because you hardly need to bring out the stylus and the D-pad can get you basically everything you need. In fact, using the stylus during battles is somewhat troublesome. .. So why bother having the whole DS system? D:

I’m not far enough in the plot to know what’s going on, but so far… The whole Clan-Quest-Ivalice thing scares me because I KNOW I wouldn’t be able to reach 100% like I can in TWEWY (and somewhat did, still haven’t reached GOD mode for Esp’er Points though. :B) I’ll play some more and see how I like it, but for now.. Not exactly a great first impression.
