Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (Nintendo DS, 2008)

Take a moment and rate this review!!

On the last day of school, you are sent to the library to assist in cleaning up before you can go home for the summer. While you are in the library, you find an interesting book and your curiosity propels you into a fantasy world from which you are trying (albeit not very hard) to escape.
If you are a fan of the original Final Fantasy Tactics game for the advance, then you will really love A2. If you don't have any previous experience with Final Fantasy Tactics, then the following is important to know;

This is a fantasy turn based role playing game. Focus is on tactics and teamwork founded on magic use and melee combat.

The interface is very much familiar, but one of the main new things is the way that you gain new items and weapons. You have to use items that you recover from battles and turn them in at a shop to have new weapons become available for sale. Weapons and equipment are made at the shops by combining items that you gain from battle.

The story line is somewhat interesting, but doesn't play a large role in game-play.

Overall, you really need to love FF Tactics or be a huge fan of FF to keep interested in this game. After a few levels, its more of the same with little deviation. The things that will keep you interested are the many combinations of new weapons and armor.

8/10

Being a big fan of tactical games, including Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I was eagerly anticipating the release of A2 for almost a year. When it was finally released and I purchased it on release day, I popped the game in my DS.

Two months later, and I'm still only about 15 hours into the game. The story is worse than both previous versions, where a kid basically writes in a book and becomes part of it, and obviously doesn't want to go home while on a quest to find a way home. That's it.

There are new jobs in the game like the Green Mage, but the better jobs are still the ones available since the previous two games (Ninja, Assassin, Juggler, etc). Leveling jobs is a bit annoying to me, because you keep running out of weapons to level a job, and having to switch every character to some job you don't want just to not waste AP (Tinker/Gadgeteer anyone?).

There are also two new races, but jobs for these two races are so meager that they're almost more like novelty than anything.

The graphics aren't exactly superior to its predecessors, but it is a tactical game, so graphics are rarely better than 2D sprites anyways. The multiplayer hasn't really improved from FFTA. The story and gameplay both lack compared to the previous two games in the series. Overall, it's not a _bad_ game; it's just not very good.

He loved and done beat the game. It was a christmas gift, he loved the game and I love doing business on ebay.

This game is an Excellent turn based RPG that has all kinds of classes that you can built your character into. If you played the original Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced for the SP then you will be familiar with this game the basics are the same character movement is the same you have to take your team on missions and win battle related adventures. Its a fun game to play I give it a 4 stars out of 5. So pick it up and give it a try. A must for the strategy RPG fan.

It's very fun,very engaging. never a dull moment. I liked the fighting style and there's customization options out the wazoo. so I highly recommend this tile for the Nintendo DS

the book was in great condition and the disk did not have any scratches on it. It shipped quickly arriving quickly. The game case was even in good condition.

This is a great DS title. It is easy to understand and easy to play yet presents plenty of challenge for the advid gamer. This is a stratedgy tactical game that is turn based, has roll playing elements to go along with Square Enix popular Final Fantasy franchise. It is a must have for any Final Fantasy fan or anyone who enjoys good stratedgy games. It takes place in Ivalice and is similar to gameboy advance version. It is a little more cartoonish than the PSP tactics version and it would be nice to see a more grown up verison. I own all the Final Fantasy and tactic games.

I bought Fanial Fantasy Tactics A2 beacuse I found it at very very low price.If you like RGP games, you wil love this version of FF Tactics. Very nice Product and very low price.I'd recommend this game and this seller.

coolio, game sucks tho lol http://www.solecollector.com/f​orums/jaheeezy-and-mmamurlc-t9​27207.html#14440988http://www.​solecollector.com/forums/jahee​ezy-and-mmamurlc-t927207.html#​14440988http://www.solecollect​or.com/forums/jaheeezy-and-mma​murlc-t927207.html#14440988htt​p://www.solecollector.com/foru​ms/jaheeezy-and-mmamurlc-t9272​07.html#14440988http://www.sol​ecollector.com/forums/jaheeezy​-and-mmamurlc-t927207.html#144​40988http://www.solecollector.​com/forums/jaheeezy-and-mmamur​lc-t927207.html#14440988

O.k so I got the one for the GBA, i liked it so much I went out and bought a used GC with the game boy player to play it on the big screen, then this came out and I finally got a copy, its not exactly the same but everything about it is good.

Best shipping he could do, and it arrived exactly as described. Kept in touch about shipping issues, and alerted me as soon as anything happened.

I love this game but isn't the story line the same as most of the other PSP, NDS, and GBA Final Fantasy games?

Simply put: I haven't put down my DS since I received the game. So far, the gameplay is amazing, there are no glitches, and my clan is working out fine.

The game came just as described and in very good condition. Took a while to get here, but that was the fault of the postal service.

Fun Game with lots of side quests and tons of Armor and weapons to find. Game also features spells and attacks that have to be unlocked by completing certain missions, tons of characters and bosses and addicting game play and battle system that will keep you busy for hours at a time. I highly recommend this game.

The game is very addicting. The only draw back is the combat takes to long. It seems like it takes almost 30 minutes per battle, and there are hundreds if not thousands of battles to go threw. But character development is at its best in this game. Story is average at best. bought it because i'm a big final fantasy gamer.

GREAT GAME! Especially for tactical enthusists or simply fans of the Tactics series, it's a fun little DS game. The graphics update was a nice touch.

im still in the middle of this game, but its great. im dissapointed that the story line has a new main character, I expected it to be either van or marche. also the storyline was better for the first game. this game is great but it isnt as attractive as final fantasy tactics advance, but most of the sequals arent as good as the origenals i guess. but other than that its awsome, new classes, new races and new item system.

Anyone who has been with this series knows the many changes that happen with each one. The job ability system is kind of a pain but as you have to fight battles to get items to make weapons, and then you can buy the items in the shops, finally you can work on building it up. I have always loved this series and am satisfied with the results of the effort put into this game.

this is suppose to be final seg of the series. my daughter love the game she hasn't put it down in days so it must be good so if your child wants to get it it was a good investment for me

I got just what i bid on and fast. The description of the item was correct and very well scripted

thanks
