Nintendo DS Media | Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Screens & Info

By Adam Riley 06.04.2007 9

Square Enix's sequel to the fantastic GBA SRPG Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is heading to the DS, complete with more quests, increased variation of missions and user-friendly use of the two screens and touch control input. Set for 2007, it will be playable at May's 'Square Enix Party'. Screens can be found in the media folder at the bottom of this story. Other than this, some vague details have been revealed via Famitsu magazine.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire is due to have a similar theme to the GBA version, with the main characters starting off again in the real world and then being transported into the magical world of Ivalice (this game is part of the new Square Enix project 'Ivalice Alliance'). Species that will be encountered along the way include the likes of Bangaas and Moogles and the storyline will be much lighter than other Final Fantasy games.

Luso, the main character, sets off to explore the world of Ivalice and along the way will be several new jobs, two of which are thought to be 'Samurai' and 'Mage' due to images within the Japanese magazine. Wrapping things up, it is also mentioned that bosses will be larger than before, and a different approach will be taken to the idea of a world map.

    Can't wait for this game! Though the "lighter" storyline has me a bit worried. Though FFTA wasn't exactly a story driven game, it is still good to have a good storyline.

    I couldn't get enough of the GBA game, and actually found it to be far more accessible than the PSone original, so can't wait for this!

    The PSP's also getting a port of the PSone game and there's plans for more 'Ivalice Alliance' games in the future. Square Enix may be the kings of milking at the moment, but as long as the quality's there (which it IS) then I certainly have no complaints!

    wow that looks pretty good! Smilie

    I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562
