effex | TACTICS!

First off, the new release of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion's War is fantastic. Really, really, really so. The dialogue has been re-translated and re-adapted, creating a play of language that's rich and complex. My brother and I played the original version of the game through more times then I can count, and this... it's like the game's brand new again. We hijacked the parents' big screen tv for the weekend, hooked up the AV cables, and. Have I mentioned the new cinematography? Or the voice acting? Because both were fantastic (there's that word again) and transferred really well to a screen several hundred times it's intended size. Major props to the PSP for that. We only made it to Mustadio's rescue, which means a week's wait until ~~my next fix~~ the next installment - the brother's goes to school 45 minutes away and we made a pact - no plot unless both of us are there for it (which is what we do for most of our games - it's a system that worked much better when we were still living at home >.>). He's got PSP custody this week which, with his crazy leveling skills (we've played this *a lot* did I mention, he's got leveling down to an art form, we're already at lvl 45), means that we'll be ready to rock and roll next weekend. If the wait doesn't get to me first.

Again, SO GOOD.
