So i think its time for me to play one of the most appraised S-RPGs. I have only played Tactics Advance for a few hours and found it to be mediocre so my interest in playing the original dropped quite a bit, but as people often mention how much better it is than its successors, i am willing to give it a shot now.
Information i have collected so far:
-The game has levelscaling and i really hate levelscaling, but as far as i am informed, story encounters have a set level so i can live with it if the game is really good otherwise i suppose....
-PS1 version has shit translation
-PSP version has much better translation but suffers from slowdowns. There is a patch that fixes it to some extent
-There is a pretty popular mod called FFT 1.3 which increases the difficulty and rebalances the game. It also changes story encounters to also be levelscaled (and even equipmentscaled) which is retarded and a huge turn-off for me. Some people also complain it is needlessly tedious due to some insane difficulty spikes
-There is also a tuned down version of FFT 1.3 called FFT 1.3 content, which changes story encounters back to static level, but there is only a version available for the ps1 version with the shit translation
Sooooo my conclusion so far is that "FFT 1.3 content" on PS1 would be the best version for me gameplaywise but comes with an at times incomprehensible storyline because Japanese are too retarded to engrish their games. Its a shame really that all this modding autism and effort put into polishing the game couldnt provide a definitive version, unless i missed something that is known to every FFT fan of course?
