[TorrentLord]

I did, with every mission completed. It took a really long time, but I like completion. (That's why I'm trying to get Level 99 in Golden Sun)

Anyone else beat it? And what do you think about the game?

[Sol's Djinn]

The randomness gets annoying....... but yeah, I beat it.

[Primal]

I beat nearly all the missions. I can't do anymore because I can't get the right mission items. Too bad though. It's a great game.

[Izar]

I beat it twice and got everything the first time, trying again...

[Iloverpgs]

Heh I still have to beat that.....

[Nick]

I tried my friend's copy and within 5 mins I was bored... snowball fights are MEANT to be fun! :)

[Sol's Djinn]

The Cid missions were fun.....

[Primal]

I wouldn't know. i guess I should get a walkthrough or not throw out my mission itmes (stupid) next time I try and beat it.

[TorrentLord]

Yeah, I threw out one of my Rat's Tails because I had two, and I thought there were infinite numbers of them. 292 missions, had to start over. But I completed it. Don't throw out mission items unless you KNOW they are infinite.

[Death's Reaper]

I'm close to beating it, but I hate it when I don't have the right Mission Items.

Thanks for the tip TorrentLord, I threw out a few of my Mission Items and now I can't do the Mission. *sobs*

[Primal]

Yeah thats a very good tip. Do NOT throw out any mission items uless you are 100% certain they can be got back. One of these days I will beat FFTA, I better seeings as I have a site about it, lol.

[Fury]

I've played better....Fire Emblem is a much better game and the only reason I continued to play it was to get all of the characters and I wanted to see the ending(which was crap by the way)but it defineatily wasn't worth the 100+ hours I spent on it when I could be playing better games

[NuMou Sniper]

I have beaten every mission and have all 5 secret characters. They include Ritz, Shara, Babus, Ezel and Cid! Right now though I'm tryin to master evry job for everyone in my party and get everyone up to lv 50!

[Primal]

lol, someone likes to complete everthing.

1.) Fire Emblem is NOT better (I won't go through all the details here)
2) The ending was NOT crap, it left it open for the player to think about it
3)It is worth the time. It has good longevity which makes it a good game, worth the money!

[Fury]

Well,I happen to think otherwise.FFTA's story sucked.It's about some elementary school kid that gets picked on,finds a book and tramsformes the entire planet to some fictional place called Ivalice.The main characters goal is the find a way back to the "real world" when no one else wants to,etc.That to me is not a very good story line.The battling sucks too and that shouldn't need an explanition.The ending DID suck.In the end the world gets brought back to the way it was and everyone goes home but your still in Ivalice!I remember see in everything go back to normal but your still stuck in the same old boring place.I just can't belive that this game sold as much as it did.There ALOT better games out there that are better than this one.And BTW,Fire Emblem is a better game

[NuMou Sniper]

If you played all the way through FFTA you would know that there are side missions and another ending to the game. I think the battle system rocks in FFTA! BTW primal i do like to complete everything i can it gives me a sense of satisfaction and completeness. LoL

[catastrophe]

i almost have all the missions completed, just missing a couple., but it's a great game, well balanced too(good story, combat system, etc)

[Primal]

Yeah I started playing through FFTA yesterday, this time I'm gonna do every single mission, all side quests, get all classes, abilities etc. It will take me a few months but at least I won't be bored.

[Nemphtis]

Played the ROM for a day, did a few missions etc. and the game seemed nice, but if I were to review it, I'd give it a 7/10 since gameplay is lacking...

[Izar]

I like it alot. Beat it twice, i restarted yesterday, and beat it again, and as a matter of fact, I was playing 20 minutes ago...

[Fury]

What other ending?

[Nemphtis]

Ya know, in most cases that would be considered spam, but I will assume you did not know, so I suggest you read the forum rules, EarthAdept. Thanks. :)

[Fury]

How is that even considered to be spam?I did nothing that was off-topic I just asked a question that was about the game so it isin't spam

[Nemphtis]

Why don't you try reading the rules, it will answer your question, and help you to not break any rules you didn't know od in future.

http://www.goldensun-syndicate.net/forum/i...p?act=SA&a=1&s=

There, I've even provided a link. :)

[Fury]

Oh man you were right I didn't know about the 5-word thing.I feel so stupid

[Nemphtis]

No worries, you didn't know at the time so it's nothing, just try not to do it again, see, everyone should read the rules. :)

You definetly wont be bored. I've had it since Christmas and still havent gotten all the jobs mastered. It takes a LONG time!! The other ending is when you beat all the extra missions(after you beat the game) with the Judgemaster in your clan.

[Elliott]

Mastering the jobs is easy. Just
make sure you don;t throw away
any items unless you are sure you
can get them back later. Then just
keep equiping and mastering, it's pretty
easy really, just takes a lot of time is all.

[Neon]

that's the only bad part about this game, you need to refer websites to make sure you don't stuff up your game :D. I got stuck on the icon for the last area once, and ever time i tried to move it would enter me into the last mission, which i couldn't win <_<. I had to start a new game, which made me hate FFTA for about a month.

It's an excellent game, i've started playing it again. The worst part of the game is the beginning, when you don't have any interesting classes or abilities, so it's a hard game to get into. Once you're into it, though, you can't put it down :D :wacko:.

[Elliott]

Hell yes. I agree, it is pretty boring at the start but after about 30 missions it really starts to pick up.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Yes, I played this game (watchs as everyone gasps in shock).

It wasn't bad. . . the plot was lacking, but I like the job customization. Didn't like the fact that you needed items to start missions, but I never threw out items often, so it wasn't a problem.

I can say this truthfully - though it was better then most SRPG's, Fire Emblem (7) was better, more interesting to me. And FFTA and Fire Emblem GHW pwned this to death. But it was better then Advance Wars, to me at least.

Squaresoft could've and should've done better then this.

[ForteGX]

Is it me, or do all of Nintendo's newer FF characters look like those "Precious Moments" dolls (Crystal Chronicals, I'm lookin' at you)...

[Blade Lord Lyn]

It was based off FF9's style, if I remember. FFTA and FFCC are like this. . . but when are they going to release a mainstream FF on GCN?

[Nemphtis]

Unless SquareEnix does really bad and Sony somehow decides to not continue with their contract, then maybe Square will make a maintream series for Ninty, but there are rumours of SquareEnix planning on developing games for Microsoft's Xbox2 as well. :unsure:

[summoner of darkness]

i havent fully beat it yet. i'm lendin it 2 a friend who really likes the game. i think its a good game. a little anoyin sometimes but still a good game. the only thing i didnt like is that the areas u freed they can get taken away if u dont tend 2 them.

[Gardna]

I beat it some time ago. It is pretty hard to complete all missions. I was having some problems with mission items, but i transfered them from my friend. I love to battle only with Judge Cid against party of enemies. Very good game.

[Venus dude 21]

My team can own all of yours, they're all level 50, and i have the best weapons and equipment.

[Gardna]

I have most of them around lvl. 45 and one bangaa defender on 50 (with Eclipse, best weapon in game i think)

[Elliott]

I really don't see sense in posting in topics that havn't been touched in around 5 months, but oh well. I've beaten this game once, played through it a few more times. It's definately one of the best for GBA.

[Gardna]

I just saw this topic and posted here, because i like this game. Another great game is Final Fantasy : Dawn of Souls (i bought it two days ago).

[Neon]

Quote

I agree. This is where the forum rules get a bit ridiculous. You can't start a new topic on a game if the old one hasn't been pruned, and if you post in the old one it's pointless and stupid.

Anyway!
I lost interest in this game after it screwed up and I couldn't leave the final mission icon without getting into it.
Still very good though. It's one of those games that you have to dedicate your time to, otherwise it's boring and you forget what you were doing with weapons and stuff.

[Omega]

Pretty good game I give it an 6/10 because it had a pretty bad story line and I hate the laws. The weapons are annoying too because unless you press L it wouldn't tell you what class that weapon is for so I buy items then I have to sell them back for half the price! what was that all about? The music isn't that great either... I mean, I can't stand happy music when you're fighting some deformed monster or something but the invasion battle music is awesome.

No, Excalibur 2 is the best weapon, and so is the masumune 100

[Golden Djinn13]

How do you get the masamune in this game?

Anyway, I just broke the last crystal, am I almost done with the game?

[TheDogWho]

Venus dude 21, on Feb 4 2005, 08:52 PM, said:

Nagrarok has similar strength and it gives you +1 Move and you can get two (steal weapon on the Boss Judge in Decision Time then purposefully lose) so I prefer it.
The best Move and Jump I've ever had is 8 Move 3 Jump. BTW, Judges have 8 Move so it's pretty mean.

[Zxor]

I beat the game, then I got judge master Cid. Then I started doing some missions after, but it got boring so I stoped, IMO Masamune 100 is the best weapon.

[Mars Djinni]

I defeated Remedi, but I had no idea what was next. I checked a walkthrough and it said that there were missions for my to take to get Ritz and Judgemaster Cid...but I got nothing!

[Venus dude 21]

In my game, the seqence is the strongest weapon, the pyetral the strongest armor.
So there is no best weapon.

[Celestial Paladin]

I haven't played it recently, so no, I haven't bet it yet...what happens at the end, I wonder?

[Venus dude 21]

Shall i spoil it for you, or would you care to get there yourself?

And this game is great, over 300 hours, i have no life :)

[DullahanX7]

if only i had this game...*crys*

[Celestial Paladin]

^^ I suppose you could give me a hint on what happens at the end...I haven't even touched the game for a long time!

[Venus dude 21]

Well, remidi was actually the one who granted Mewt's wish, so you kill her.

The rest will not be spoiled.

[Zxor]

Venus dude 21, on Feb 7 2005, 07:35 PM, said:

And this game is great, over 300 hours, i have no life -_-

no it is not, I got cid at 80 somethin hours I think.

[Venus dude 21]

No, i have over 300 hours on it. Thats what i was saying

[Golden Djinn13]

My hours are only at 45 or so and I haven't beaten it yet but I am near the ending. I have a girl Red Mage, but I don't know how to get her magic. and I have a human Black mage that I also doesn't have any magic, how do I get some magic for them?

[gsninja]

You get moves for characters by equipping certain weapons to them and wait until they have enough AP to learn the move.

I beat Queen Remedi and I have 253 missions completed. However, I just lost my interest in the game now.

[Venus dude 21]

I have 295 (arrg!) missions compleated, but the dictonary mission item, so i can't do the one gateway mission.

Cursed badges and helije keys, i have at least 10 of each.

[Zxor]

I have over 300 missions completed. I never got some items, so I started the game over, on another file, and I got the items, then I traded, the guide helps a lot.

[Nick Presta]

I'm actually playing FFTA right now (It's in my DS).

In my first file (All 310 missions complete IIRC) with 97:xx hours. My second file with 40 missions complete has about 15 hours complete.

[Zxor]

I like the Assasins, they are the coolest, well, second to the Ninjas, Ninjas get double strike.

[Neon]

I always give my people two classes, so I have, say, a Hunter with Blue Mage techs. And ninjas with theif abilities. Sniper with assasin abilities...

it's so cool to use hide, spend a few turns getting behind their best guy and then using rockseal, mwahaha!)

[Zxor]

Ya, Snipers are great, I changed my Assassin to a Sniper with Assassin abilities, I forgot.

[Venus dude 21]

My Marsche is amazing! He's a paladin, with ninja abilites. He has the Excalibur 2 and Nagarok, as well as the best armor. With holy blade, he deals 800 damage easy. Level 49.

[Zxor]

My characters were never 49, my Marche has Masamune and Masamune 100, I love those items.

[Venus dude 21]

and he's not even the strongest, my assasin is. Level fifty with a max's oathbow. She has all assasin moves, and she can do some sniper moves.

[Zxor]

My Max's OathBow got broken, I was so mad, I didn't start the game over because I didn't know of the weapon.

[Venus dude 21]

That is why they invented scarabs. They have saved me many times.

[Zxor]

Scarabs, I have never heard of them,what are they?

[Venus dude 21]

Accesories that prevent weapons or armor from being broken, i only have like 5 though.

[Zxor]

I never used them, do you have Masamune 100, best weapon in the game, IMO.

[Venus dude 21]

I have it, but it's not the strongest weapon. The overall strongest weapon is the Excalibur 2, which has 87 attack (or something 80). It is a good weapon, but the Sequence is so powered up, it has over 100 attack in my file.

[Zxor]

That is just overkill, double strike is overkill, no doubt bout it.

I mean, it rarely happenes that you miss with double strike twice.

[Venus dude 21]

I know, but I think the comp could be smarter, they strike with normal attacks, agianst characters that have reflex. that is just plain stupid.

[Zxor]

I have evade and counter, or whatever it is called.

[Venus dude 21]

It's called Strikeback, and my fighter has it. He also has the Ebon Blade, so he kills as they try to kill. I really hate Bangas though, they just don't appeal to me.

[Zxor]

So the computers normal attack me, and I use double strike to totally PWN them.

[Venus dude 21]

Fate is kind, I have counter for marche. Or as i call it REVENGE!
I once hit a guy so hard in Lutia Pass, he fell of the top of the mountain. That just was a happy moment.

[Zxor]

I liked fighting Queen Remedi, she was hard, but still fun.

[Venus dude 21]

I was foolish, but fate was kind. I used an Almighty law card at the final battle. Lawless fun. March and Montblanc attacked remidi, everyone else played "Distract the Totema".
I don't recomend playing that though, it was hard.

[Zxor]

Oh ya, the Totema's, I liked the first one, where he shoots that laser beam, how do you get to use them, I forgot, like...how do they appear in the selection for the attack.

[Venus dude 21]

You have to have 10 judge points, then you can use them. And the one you're talking about is Famfrit, the Moogle one.

[Zxor]

Yes that one, I hate the laws, I escpecially hate being in jail, it is really weird. they are so annoying.

[Venus dude 21]

I never obeyed the laws. (and am rich enough to do so :( )
It was just annoying getting judge points then.

[Zxor]

Ya, all you have to do is what the reccommened to do. You can get judge points really fast, actually, I think that is the only way you can get them.

[Venus dude 21]

If you kill something, you also get a point, but every time you get busted, no more judge points. (we're really FF nerds aren't we)

[Zxor]

No, not really, I like talking about games, and FF is a great series.

[Venus dude 21]

Yeah, but these two topics will have about 30 more pages when we're done with them. We just swap which one we're posting in. Anyway, I love Jadgeds. :(
NO LAWS!!

[Zxor]

Ya but you can DIE!!! I lost my assassin, I thought I woud get her back, but I didn't.

[Venus dude 21]

I don't die. I take like 30 damage from a Banga with an Odin's Lance. I am Immortal in this game.
( though if Marche is charrmed...)

[Zxor]

Ya when he is charmed, I allways try to heal him, he kills my guys, and he has those shoes that make you go so far.

[Venus dude 21]

I have him Waterwalk, and so does Montblanc and Viana(my assasin).
I have Tonybe(Fighter) and Sharara(elementalist) along with Messara(Blue Mage) warp.

[Zxor]

The water is cool, I like walking on water, escpecially fighting the guys in water who can't walk on it.

[Venus dude 21]

It makes the swimming meet mission easier.

[Nick Presta]

I have one of the best strats.

Marche has two Sequeces (Traded) with like 110 ATK each. Double Sword obviously.

I really hate Bangas though, they just don't appeal to me.

Bangaas rock. My Bangaa (Defender) has the Angel Ring equipped (Auto-Life automatically) with Expert Guard, Aura, and Meltdown.
Everytime I get into a battle, I just keep moving him towards the enemy and if I'm not within 1 square of anyone, I use Expert Guard (No MP or HP or Status Damage for one whole turn). I keep doing that, until I am within a square of an enemy. Then I use Meltdown (I have over 300HP - So I deal over 300HP worth of Area Damage). I get revived by the Angel Ring. I use Aura (To give me Auto-Regen and Auto-Life) and repeat. Always works and I'm invincible.

[Venus dude 21]

Nice plan Nick. But my marche could own your banga.

[Zxor]

My Marche can OWN anybody, he has never died or gotten below 70 Damage.

[Neon]

you guys do realise you're spamming don't you? 2 pages worth of 2 way conversation :D.
Meh, who cares though, it was interesting enough :D.

I like bangaas. Templar/Defenders are always good. Give him the teleport boots (I forget the name), angel ring, and mirror armour and your all set :D.

[gsninja]

My Marche has Ninja Shoes, which makes him travel very long distances. This is my main party ( no names, I don't remember):

Marche(Ninja)
Templar
Alchemist
Assasin
Red Mage
Ninja

[Venus dude 21]

Here's my primary party, with equipment:

Marche: Paladin/Ninja
Weapons: Excalibur 2, Nagarok
Armor: Adaman Armor
Helm: Bangaa Helm
Accesory: Feather Boots(water walk)

Viana: Assasin/Sniper

[Gardna]

Very useful is defender's aura. My bangaa, Marty, is best. I do around 400 damage with one strike (no meltdown, dude)

[gsninja]

I forgot my bangaa's name. He's a templar, but he rocks. I let him learn Defender moves as well, and one of the moves is Expert Guard.

[Gardna]

Expert Guard is good, but you will get hit for 100% with those disable-blind-idontknow sniper and archer moves, when using it.

[Venus dude 21]

I can bring down anyone, even if they use Expert Guard. I have an assasin after all. And I personally don't see why Bangaas are belived to bee good. My Human members are stronger than the one or two Bangaa.

[Elliott]

Bumpity bump...
This now the official topic for FFTA, the other has been closed.

Also, this is a great game that rivals Tactics Ogre.

[Mycarayne]

Hey! Im the official GSS necromancer!

I didn't bring this happy little topic back to life becasue I never really like this game :)

[Elliott]

Well I saw another FFTA topic, and this one got made earlier. If there's an even earlier one I will close this :) .

[Mycarayne]

Dunno. I KNOW I've seen other dupes during my few days of dumpster diving. I'll be sure to make everyone aware of this if I find them.

Back to the topic:
Battle laws? WTF mate?
The main contributing reason why I ditched FFTA.

[Someone Else]

Actually 'Gatio, people can bump/create new topics as long as the older ones are like, really really really old. I think it's fine this way. :)

I didn't buy FFTA because of those stupid Battle Laws for one reason; I mean really, would there REALLY be laws against the way you can fight? I guess if it was banning something forbidden in one certain area, (like, Dark Magic in an area based on Light Magic) but it really seems kinda unorthodox to me.

Also, was it true you couldn't really explore towns? You would pick the area to go to on a map, right? That seems kinda unorthodox too. I wanna EXPLORE the towns myself, not pick where to go on a map and then end up there. e_e

[Meddyan]

Thats pretty how much it is in nearly any Tactics game. Towns are only shops and gossip places, not exploration places like conventional RPGS' =/

[lifeform287]

Dudes, this may just be the greatest FF game ever.

I'm at the part with the thingy........the one where you must defeat the guys cutting down trees and that stuff. The one crystal boss where there are the red things that are a giant eye ball. Nido, those things can kill you in one hit! Although the good thing, It killed the boss with that move. That was SO lucky :P .

[Elliott]

Luck is a big factor in that game, taking a chance with a shot can either win a battle or lose it for you.

I find it one of the worst. FFT, the original, was like THE BEST. The story rules. This one's too kid-like and the laws are annoying. The game was vertually no challange. Ability learning was OK though, a bit annoying. The original had much more variety, and it's job classes just plain out rule. It's also alot longer than FFTA, which I found to be quite short. The character design really didn't do to well in FFTA. in FFT, it was just plain awesome. And people actually died in FFT! :)

[Elliott]

Rules are innovative, they add spice to an otherwise repetetive game.

[lifeform287]

Ya....but that doesn't mean ya have to like 'em.

[Elliott]

Well if you have a well balanced team it's not a problem.
Main thing to have is people with both blades and arrows, magic of a few colours, and people who can heal.

[lifeform287]

I don't like having balanced teams on anygame. I just do my thing and I whip them bosses good.

So, the other day I'm thinking: "What the nido happened to Mewt?" Then BOOM! He pops up as a prince and that.

[Elliott]

I was like that in Pokemon, I would only train my first monster, so he would be level 60 when the opponents were level 25 or so, good times.

[lifeform287]

And you don't do that anymore? My advice in anygame (especially this one):
THROW OUT YOUR STRATEGY AND MAKE SNAP DECSIONS!

And also stay FAR away from red-one-eyed-monsters.

They restricted you from doing your best at times. What is war with laws?

Anyways, FFT allows more balanced teaming, while FFTA makes Marche better. I remember at the beginning, I tried killing mewt with snowballs. :P

[Elliott]

It's a game, not a real war. The rules are there to make you a better tactitian, keep you on your toes, and have an evenly raised party.

I know it's not a real war, that was my point. The game is ABOUT a war, not really a war, but you get it?

Ha, a better tactition? I have played FFT and it's ALOT more tactical, alot more things to worry about than laws. How can it make you a better tactition if it restricts you from your best? When playing FFT after FFTA, you wont do the best. Play FFT first, and you will completely own FFTA.

[Steven the hero]

Well i have beaten the game also, but I found that the game play Kinda gets boring after while

[Izar]

Yeah, and it's two kid-like. Where's the death? The story? i founf it kinda annoying, but some was ok, but after you beat it once, it's replay value goes down the drain a bit...

[Saturos S.]

Just got it of a friend who had sold his GBA but kept his games and gave those to me :silence: so I'm only at the begin missions at a low level but is already one of fav games cause it just keeps you wanting to do another mission... good job people who made it :unsure:

[Izar]

I prefer death, destruction, and an actual story. This is just "I got trapped in a world and I gotta get out." I got tired of it like the third time i played.

I'm almost done with this game, but I just found myself losing intrest in the game, because of the very long battles ( my battles go on for about 10 mins each) and always getting in trouble with the stupid judge.

[pHantOm]

Played it, I was really good at it. I found it very fun....400 hours...

[Venus dude 21]

with that kind of hour count, what equipment and levels do your people have?

[Split Infinity]

Question: Do I need to trade items with a friend to beat all 300 missions? I seem to be finding myself doing the same missions over and over.

[Platinum Sun]

You shouldn't have to, but you might have discarded the wrong mission items at some point. I've completed all the numbered (and non-numbered missions for that matter) without trading, but I had to know very well what I needed from the beginning. (I also finally managed to get the Allmigty Antilaw from Ritz, OMGHAX0rZ!!)

[Split Infinity]

How on earth do you steal an antilaw?

[I'm Always BROKE]

This game feels so much like a lesser Fire Emblem... Seriously, FE>This game.

I didn't steal it, she gives it to you for the blue rose.

[Split Infinity]

I find antilaws to be a bit useless. It seems easier to work around the laws, or if they are too strict, fight on a different day.

Yeah. I found it difficult to enjoy this and I ended up leaving it. I may come back one day.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Meh if you play this game, you realise how good Fire Emblem really is. Speaking of Fire Emblem... I might replay that today. :blink:

[gsninja]

I would say that, in terms of techniques and such, this game definitely has more diversity than Fire Emblem.

Anywho, have any of you used Montblanc for the most part? I never really liked using him, and I always end up ditching him at a low level.

[Mars Djinni]

I used him. My only problem was that I didn't bother law changing and he happened to be against the law quite often.

Very vertasile game, but repettetive at the same time. The story didn't feel like it progressed fuently. Good game, though.

[Split Infinity]

One law is fun...two laws are challenging...but three laws? Not fun. I hate the judges. Especially when they demote your stats. Those can never be gotten back. Volunteer and gil penalties on their own would make this a much better game for me, really.

[Platinum Sun]

I think stat penalties can be given back...
Let me check.

[Neon]

I tried to make a fansite for this game with another member of Golden Sun Network. Obviously it didn't get far :P.

The glitch that gets you stuck on the final mission killed the game for me.

[gsninja]

Glitch that gets you stuck on the final mission? o.o

I only used law cards when I REALLY needed to, or when I wanted to burn away the cards I didn't want and/or need.

[Split Infinity]

What glitch? I never had any trouble on the final mission, or the repeat mission either.

[gsninja]

Yeah, neither did I.

Give an Assassin Half MP, Ultima Masher, and a Max's Oathbow and she'll basically do a darn good load of damage. n.n

[Platinum Sun]

My fav is Montblanc. Gunner with the calling gun ultima charge. He can pound you with Ultima pwnage from 7 squares away! (Just be reeeeeeealy sure there's no one in the way.)

[gsninja]

In one of the missions against a 500 hp Marlboro, I had a Gunner shoot at it. Thing is, I didn't notice Marche was right in front of him. I shot at the Marlboro, but hit Marche instead. Marche has Strikeback, so he...struck back, and killed him. Not only that, but I had forgotten that it was a Jagd map, so he was gone forever...D=

[Split Infinity]

You can actually lose Montblanc in the Jagds and still continue with the game. I have no idea how that could affect the storyline. You'd probably never be able to finish the game.

[Platinum Sun]

I've done it before. You can still complete the game. Montblanc's speaking parts in cutscenes are taken over by whatever NPC's (Or special party members) are most readily available. Since I was doing just the final missions, it ended up being Babus most of the time. I'm pretty sure Marche mourns his death in the final cutscene, but I don't remember exactly what he said.

[Split Infinity]

That's sad. I really like Montblanc. Needless to say, I restarted shortly after his demise.

[pHantOm]

I have killed off all my party members before, just for the sake of seeing it. I couldnt get them all killed off but I had most of them gone.

[Neon]

the glitch:
not sure how it works, but if you save the game while over the map icon for the final mission, you can't move to a different area without entering the mission. If, like me, your party is too low to beat the final boss then it's gg, start again...

edit: i did beat the game btw, after having to restart, lol. I would like to play it again, but the beginning is torturously slow and boring. I can never make it past the first mission (herbs, yay)

[Split Infinity]

Yeah, I discovered that too. I think you get blocked by another clan or something.

[gsninja]

I never discovered that. I just saved at another place before, then went to the map for the final boss. Still, the third battle was so annoying, with four Totemas aiding Remedi. @.@

[Split Infinity]

I only remember two battles...

[Neon]

There was that crazy guy she made after Mewts father left, then her in the form of his mother, then her essence or w/e you want to call it.

[Platinum Sun]

Yes there are three battles. The first one outside with Llednar (aka "that one crazy guy she makes") Then Vs. Remedi, then again vs Remedi once she has channeled the power of the wishes of Ivalice.

[Somia]

I remember playing this game. I played till the point after you meet Ritz for a few chapters, then got bored of it.
Besides I had trouble with some quests, knowing me, I'd start over if I have the chance.

[Split Infinity]

I restarted on my second save file. This time I'm making sure that I don't throw away the wrong items, or it's bye-bye judge missions.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned/noticed yet but Final Fantasy: Tactics 2 is being developed for the Sony PSP, you can find a trailer with anime-style cutscenes and no real gameplay footage if you snoop around the internet a little.

I just saw the trailer for it a few days ago. It looks like it'll have a good storyline. I'm just hoping it doesn't end up like the gameboy version which I got bored of...really fast.

[zepula]

"Earlier this week it was confirmed that Square-Enix would be making a port of Final Fantasy Tactics to the PSP, and a sequel to that game to appear on a Nintendo handheld. It was unsure whether this title would make it to the GBA, or DS. Thanks to Jump Festa, which is taking place in Japan today, we now know that the title is heading to the DS. No release date or any other information was released for this game."

This is a article from GoNintendo a while back.

The DS game is called "Final Fantasy A2: The Grimoire Book"

[Nemphtis]

As far as I'm aware, there's an actual sequel on the PSP and not just a simple port.
