About the Game
Final Fantasy Tactics was a big move for the whole Final Fantasy franchise into different fields. Tactics combines traditional elements of the Final Fantasy series with a completely different game mechanics and battle system. It was the 1st game during the Final Fantasy 32-bit era using a 3D, isometric, rotatable playing field, with bitmap sprite characters and a turn based strategy system. In the game you build up a team by recruiting many available characters you meet during your travels and stocking up plenty of items, to defeat various enemies waiting on your path.
Gameplay & Core Systems
A major part of the experience is a very complex character class(job) system where each character begins his way with a job such as Squire or Chemist. In addition there are certain monsters and computer controlled "guests" with their own jobs and special abilities available to learn.
Standout Features
- Successfully participating in battles, characters can later select one of more advanced jobs, with a total of 19 to choose from.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes 1 Player.
