It got way too much hate for being accessible to children by not being FFT2, but its a surprisingly complex and dark take on a standard fantasy trope. Marche might be the most interesting protagonist in any of Matsunos games given that hes the arguably the cause of the conflict that drives the story. Considering that both Tactics Ogre and FFT got a remake, Id love to see a remake on the Switch, or at least a port.

Its a fine game but the worst part is the mission structure. It feels so random whether the bar gives sidequests or mainquests and which is which and what quest items you should keep around because you can only have a few. The skills are a little grindy and the recruiting is a little too random too.

Oh, and most people hate the law system, so there's that. I think it usually doesnt matter and you can just reset to reroll if it did.

That all said though, I 100%'d it. Was a good game but... I see no need for a remake. I am against ports in general because its lazy and I only like remakes if they're much better.

I'd love to have it on a piece of hardware where the screen is bigger than the palm of my hand and doesn't take batteries. And I don't mean emulation, it does not scale up screen size well at all

Also, Marche is not the bad guy.

It was worth playing. I don't think I'll ever want to play it again though.

Garbage idea to make have the Key Item list have a limited amount of spots you could fill up before you had to toss some out. That wouldn't be an issue if there wasn't 1-time items that you may not know is a 1-time item.

Which is what makes the story resonate the way it does.

I would love a remake for it. Gotta do that strategy to get a Cinquedea early and steal Steal Weapon from that early thief.

Also the Mithril Weapons that taught the Combos were incredibly annoying to get if you didn't have a trading partner. Still fantastic game though.
