When Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions is released in North America on PSP, it might be worth your while to even indulge in a payday loan to get it before all the copies are swept up by older fans who remember playing the original when it was first released.
Word has it that the remake will contain many new features even compared to the version released in Japan earlier this year. And one of the things I’m looking forward to the most is a better localization than the game received about 10 years ago.
The PSone FFT had several endearing quirks to the translation, but many of them were less endearing and actually made the story harder to understand. The new version will have many cutscenes and the North American version will even boast voice-acting in those cut-scenes, a feature missing in the Japanese version. There will be new characters, new items, new weapons, new jobs and lots of added content to make the experience fresh for veterans of the old version.
Who could ask for anything cooler?
Pair this game with the recent Jeanne d’Arc RPG on PSP, and the Sony PSP is now unquestionably the portable platform of choice for RPG enthusiasts.
