I was really confused when I first heard about “Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau” until I discovered that he’s a different, and somehow even lamer, Jon Favreau than the guy who directed Cowboys & Aliens.

I played one, and it was.. very romance side game heavy, which is not what I play video games for.

The tactics combat was alright, but i didn’t give a drat about which characters I shipped together to get the best future baby, or whatever the crap was happening in that plot line.

Just give me final fantasy tactics on the switch already please.

Hah, that wouldn’t surprise me, and that is good to hear. It wasn’t an awful game, just didn’t really explain all the hype surrounding the franchise to me at first pass. I’ll be cautiously optimistic for the switch version reviews, and just hope they don’t do the whole three game split model again.

i thought it was pretty cool that they added some tactical gameplay to the soldier smooching simulator but it was definitely secondary to the main game (soldiers smooching)

Luckily they're still around most Five Below/Dollar Store/Dollar Tree here in the States.

People could have gotten some real good deals on them in the last two to three years at various times. Especially when places were just liquidating their stock some Toys R Us had buy one get three/four free deals and this was even before the chain announced they were shutting down.

The overpowered pair up mechanic (combined with the really high stat growths) in Awakening makes it kind of impossible to balance. Fates made pair-up much more reasonable but I honestly prefer not having it at all (and it looks like Three houses is doing just that).

I thought the biggest issue with Awakening's combat was the map design (or lack thereof). Nearly all the maps are just big open spaces filled with enemies, usually tons of flyers and nearly every enemy has ranged attacks - there are no chokes or other tactical ways to approach combat other than overpowering the enemy with numbers so every fight becomes the same kinda brawl.

I didn't even realize that they were plural.

I kinda enjoyed the first one though I remember being rather frustrated at it 'cause I was likely comparing it to regular FFT.

I may have to give the sequel a spin just 'cause I do enjoy me my tactics games but don't always want Disgaea's silliness.

Can it be made to be difficult without too many self-imposed restrictions?
