A2 is an RPG that strings together turn based battles, typically assigned to your clan by doing quests. As you complete these quests and random encounter you can experience, items, currency and even more clan members. Doing the quests also moves the game along through the story line. As the game progresses you have a variety of quests to pick from and variety of characters to use to complete the quests. This is a rather detailed and content filled game for the DS. The game has it own 'terms' that can be difficult to follow at times. In addition the turn based battles have restrictions placed on them that are NOT clearly defined. Overall, I am happy with the game and would recommend it to any one who enjoys turn based fight games.

If you like the 'Final Fantasy' series and liked the 'Final Fantasy Tactics' for Playstation, this IS a must have game. Or if you don't know FFT, this game is still a great experience for you. In 'Final Fantasy Tactics A2' you start as Luso a normal boy that suddenly finds himself joining a clan and engaging a giant ferous bird, surrounded by a world full of magick, creatures and different races, such as the well known Moogles and the new Grias. As you progress you'll get new members on your clan and will be able to change their professions, as well as yours. Each profession, over 50, has a different stats growth and different skills making this game really fun to work on. The skills you get by learning from weapons/armors/acessories, those you can buy on shops. Getting new equipment requires you to use a new feature that take your loot from battles to forge it and make it avaiable for buying. Also note that this is a Stragegy/RPG game that works on square-based movement and speed-based turns, faster units acts more often, and your actions on each turn also changes how fast you'll act again. This may scare some new players but, after a while it becomes pretty simple. Great effects and scenarios, LOTS of quests to do, and a pretty good story. Another Square-Enix Great Game.Read full review
The item description was on point. I mean I expected slight exaggeration when people claim brand new and things like that. The game I expected new but the book to be so crisp and nice as well was great to see. Thanks for taking care of these items!

It's a hair childish in the beginning, but it's a masterfully crafted tactics games by an extremely well renowned creator. Not only does the depth of customization allow you to authentically choose your adventure, it's also well implemented and balanced. The only issue I have is the ui and the many many options screens, but that pretty standard for final fantasy games and RPGs in general. Dont let that stop you from buying this game if you're interested.

A game that I owned and got rid of about a few years ago, and decided i wanted the game again. Still one of the best final fantasy tactical games in the series. I hope Square Enix day releases another Final Fantasy tactical turn based rpg again in the future for the nintendo 3ds. I love this game has so much charm

The color palette and art style are always gorgeous, really wonderful soundtrack and most importantly: extremely compelling job / skill / battle system. The story leaves something to be desired, but if you don't go in expecting the original Final Fantasy Tactics, and know you're getting into a goofy, casual tactics game, you won't be disappointed. Much more polished than the GBA FFT. Got it for a friend, and I've replayed at least four or five times in full. Good memories of this one.

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.Read full review
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. 8/10Read full review
If you’re a Final Fantasy fan then pick it up! It’s retro but it is so good! The battles are different and can be long but there are endless side quests you can partake in the beginning of the game. I’m just starting it and already fell in love!
