June 24th of this year

Quote:Finally! We were beginning to think that Square-Enix would never announce its stateside release date for Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, keeping localized copies of the SRPG out of our reach to punish us for poor Front Mission sales. Surprisingly, FFTA2 will hit stores as soon as June 24th, usually a slow period for video game releases.

The North American version has been enhanced to improve its touchscreen controls, one of several complaints we've listed about the game. Players should be able to now command their characters and navigate FFTA2's menus using only the stylus, as should be the standard for SRPGs on the DS. This comes in addition to the sequel's new classes, jobs, and clan system. Hit the gallery below for four new screenshots from the English-translated game.

aaand my claims about the gameplay is where?

[BigMikeTheTerror]

if you say a game is shitty, you say everything about it is shity

Oh, I am glad to know that you are the authority on this topic.

Despite the fact that the gameplay was fine (well, aside from the rule gimmick), the story and the characters were awful. I certainly wouldn't even consider FFTA good. Thus.. shitty game!

I'm in no way excited for tactics advance 2. Especially if they're sticking with a bland cast of characters with a childish story. You got me hooked on the original tactics. That's how those tactics games should be.

... Well, I think the games are good, so I'll probably get it at some point. :)
Little childish, but the games are entertaining.

Never played any of the Tactics games... never seen them in the shops, ever. They may not even be sold over here for all I know. I'd still like to try them though, so if anyone knows a place in London where I could get hold of one, I'd appreciate if you let me know...
