Time to get the whole gang into the game! Versus and Co-Op mode confirmed! - Image 1


It was a long-running rumor but it's time to stamp out a bit red CONFIRMED mark on it. Square Enix has just unveiled that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War will have multiplayer functions as supported by the PSP's wireless feature. Both Versus and Co-op modes will now be available in the game.

Another new feature that's exclusive to the port. While you can emulate the game onto your PSP, this game release looks like it's actually worth getting. Your emulated version can only go so far, but for The Lion War, you get new stuff. Let's round up all the features we now know are going to be exclusive in the release:
Now. Who dare says that this is "just" a port? The game comes out in Japan on May 10.

It's still 'just' a port. Nevertheless a cool port. But - a port.

# Never played...Guest 2007-03-07 15:50
so i think getting this game for my psp will be worth it. I'm a fan of the FF series. Is it really good? (BTW I really enjoy game with online features.) :)

# More characters on a battle.Guest 2007-03-07 15:50
I hope they increase the number of characters on a battle. 5 is a damn small number. When we have Disgaea and his 12 characters per battle, using only 5 on FFT is stupid. I hope they make FFT use 10 characters per battle. :) Otherwise it will be just a port with multiplayer.

brunobelo if they add 10 characters per battle the battle would take way to long.



In would be cool if the game had ad hoc and infrastructure

Even if they just improved the translation of the original text and dialogue I would buy this game.



The original one's plot was mired by some confusing wordiness and some spell effects were so embarrassingly translated.



'Fire bracelet' was actually ice breath, and 'Ice bracelet' was actually 'Fire breath'.



How they got bracelet = breath is beyond me.

Hardly anyone is gonna own this game or owns a psp (most own a ds or uses the psp just for emulation) so whats the point of the multiplayer mode?

# Told ya so :PGuest 2007-03-07 18:21
Versus AND co-op. Didn't see co-op coming, very cool!



Yes, it's a port, but everyone says it like it's a bad thing. This is a very good port from what's on paper.



Also to be added to the bulleted list, don't forget that this game is in true widescreen without stretching.

# whaaaa?Guest 2007-03-07 19:39
THIS GAME SHOULD BE BOUGHT -AND- PLAYED ON EMULATOR. GAMES ARE ALWAYS BETTER WHEN EMULATED BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF LOAD TIME. IT IS, HOWEVER, A GAME WORTH OWNING, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL PSX TITLE.



THE AUTHENTIC GAME SHOULD BE USED FOR MULTIPLAYER PURPOSES, BECAUSE, AS FAR AS I KNOW, CUSTOM FIRMWARE/DEVHOOK DOESN'T ALLOW WIFI SUPPORT FOR EMULATED GAMES.

# Great GameGuest 2007-03-07 21:03
OMG I Love FFT I was really disappointed with FFTA not with game play just with all the changes. I think this will the a very good edition to FF family it will like having...a younger twin brother thats better than you...maybe.

STOP TALKING IN CAPS.



As long as load times are worth it, I don't mind. I usually rip my games anyway so I can have two "UMD" games at once (one's faster than the other, but convenience is a nice luxury).



This game will look better (hopefully 1:1 resolution for less blurriness), real widescreen, ad-hoc, new classes...



Sure, if you're not a big fan of FFT you wouldn't care. But this game means a lot to me -- not "just another game" -- so I have withheld from converting my PS1 FFT (oh, I want to) so that I can play it fresh.

# If this is "just" a port..WarLord 2007-03-08 09:14
..then so is FF3 for DS. Now that infrastructure is confirmed, I'll be getting this as soon as it's released.

# Just NoGuest 2007-03-08 14:44
No it's not you moron. FF3 on DS is a remake. This is still a port because it's not a complete new look. Still the same game with added extra, so it's a port. My god, I love some of the idiots that post here.

So you decide whether a game is "just" a port or not by how it looks or how much graphics are added to it? Bull crap my friend. Content is what makes a game, not gfx. I thought nintendo fanboys like you would realize that. This game has significantly enough content added to be more than just a port. Or maybe you're just saying that because it's a psp game. I bet if it was on the DS, you'd be singin a different tune.

# What a bunch of whiners!Guest 2007-03-08 22:11
Stop crying people, it's just a game. If you like it buy it. if you don't like it. then don't buy it. Stop crying.
