According to Famitsu & Gamespot Japan, one of the titles Square (or that new company formed by Square) will be bringing out for GBA is Final Fantasy Tactics...

Reports also mention that they have a new Final Fantasy title in the works which utilizes GC-GBA connectivity, and they have about 4 games to be released before the end of 2002... But who cares about that?

Ahemm... Yeah, good news.

Time has come... crash down on the wicked! Meteor!

Ooooh, I wonder how they'll handle the 3D backgrounds? And will they give Ramza a special job, or will he stay spoony? And will there be a GC version will huge battlefield and 10 member parties!?

These answers and more, next time on...Square Loves Nintendo!!!

Oh yeah, this is the kinda of porting I'm looking for. FFT on the go is going to be so cool..(Maybe they'll come up with a special 2 player mode, so you can take your uber party and beatu up your friends Uber party!)

Now if they'll just announce Seiken 3 I'll be a super Happy camper...:)

I was quite surprised myself when I heard about it. FFT isn't exactly the kind of title I was expecting flamboyant Square to be releasing.. But considering that it's for Nintendo which looks at gameplay in priority to graphics, it does make quite some sense.

And actually, the graphics are pretty nice in that game too.
Just as there's no Cid balance killers in the game.

I might be a tuna cat.

I'm wondering...can the GBA handle the INCREDIBLE music that the PS rev had?

Actually, the GBA has very nice sound capabilities, just play Golden Sun, one of the best RPG soundtracks I've heard lately... But then again the FFT soundtrack would take a lot of megs, so we'll have to see...

I'm sure the GBA has good sound capabilities, but hearing a watered down version of the FFT music might not sit too well with me...nonetheless, FFT is a solid game, and it's cool to see a port of it coming.

Orlandu's going to dominate GBA soon...

You said it! Thundergod Cid rules!!! I've been a big fan of the Cid's in the FF series and I was glad to see that they made him a playable character in FFT too! (but nothing beats the fun of finishing the game with generic characters, remeber that).

And about the soundtrack, oh well, you can play the game while you're listening the FFT OST in your pc, mp3 player, or (if you bought it, and you should) cd player...

Oh hell yes! The one thing I always felt FFT lacked was a 2 player mode. Maybe the GBA version will let you have linked battles against your buddies.

"Hope it's not a simple port..." , posted Mon 11 Mar 14:21

FFT is one of my favorite games (not quite on the same level as Tactics Ogre though), this is cool news that it's a *likely* title.

I'd really like an entirely new FFTactics, or a FFT Gaiden where you go around kicking ass as Delita or Cid before he joins Ramza and becomes the unholiest of unholy badasses...

but if not then at the least I hope they re-translate it. The GBA is turning into a great platform for Strategy games isn't it? I'm still hoping that Nintendo will decide to bring the new Fire Emblem to the US...
