Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Guide Note:

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is a turn-based strategy game for the PSP developed by Square Enix. The game is a remake of the 1998 hit Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation.

Story

War of the Lions is set up between two dukes in the kingdom of Ivalice. Wihen the king suddenly died, his two year old son becomes the ruler of the land. The queen's brother, Duke Larg, is widely considered to be the front runner for the throne's regency. Hoping to counter any influence from the queen, the council of the land appointed the king's younger cousin, Duke Goltanna as regent. This sets up a large amount of conflict within both the royal court as well as the populace. The characters are Ramza Beoulve and Delita Heiral. Ramza is the youngest son of a prestigious house of nobles, while Delita is a commoner taken under wing by Ramza's family. The two friends find themselves hunting down a bandit group that kidnaps Princess Ovelia. Unfortunately the end up getting roped into the War of the Lions.

Gameplay

The gameplay is similar to other turn-based strategy RPGs. You are able to choose from a variety of classes and you have free reign when it comes to moving your character along a certain path. There is, in fact, two new classes in this updated version which are the Onion Knight and the Dark Knight. Both are quite useful classes. Like the game it was remade from, there is also an astrological component in the game that affects your stats during certain times during the game. During battle, characters move around in a grid system, and each character class can move a certain amount. From there, you can choose various actions such as attack, use item, special, and so forth. Attacking an enemy's back leads to more damage than a side or frontal attack. Battles remain challenging and there is even a new multi-player mode where you can play with your friends via 'communication'.
