Well I'm getting it later on today. The game is Final Fantasy Tatics. It looks pretty cool.

I almost bought that game about a year ago... I heard it was a great game.

I have almost bought this game several times but never have. I figure Id either really love it or really hate it. Everytime I ever have went to buy it I end up buying something else.

FF Tactics is a similar but not as good version of Ogre Battle.

What type of game is this?
I haven't played ogre battles before so comparisons with that doesn't help

I enjoy the FF games and i'm thinking of picking up FFT2 on GBA and importing the original if the sequel is any good

FF Tactics is nothing like a normal FF game - its turn based strategy more than anything, and is Squares attempt to cash in on the succesful (and superior) Ogre Battle series. You have a grid of the area, and you can move your units around in it, as can the enemy - theres also heights etc so if youre high up you have a better line of sight against things and are harder to hit etc etc

I've just read some reviews that said it is like a chess game and you can not even walk around. Is this true?

umm when you first play it keep your mind very open. it is a totally different type of game that you have already played. i too was like ewwww. but after an hour i fell in love with the battle and actual thinking you had to do in order to defeat the various missions.

front mission 3 is another great game that has basically the same game engine. but just with a futuristic twist.

and yeah it is pretty true. you can only move a character at once. that is where the stradegy comes in.

calavera did you buy that saturn game project berkley yet>?

The way they talked it was like the whole game was like that. Not just the battles. And that Project Berkley thing was just a joke.

The store didn't have it. I'll probally just order a different Final Fantasy game.
