Hey. I just got my PSP two days ago and I'm loving it. I need help on deciding between to polar opposite Final Fantasy titles. I love the Tactics games, but Crisis Core also snags my interest. Has anyone played both FFT and Crisis Core? I could use some help, thanks. :)
I would have to suggest FF:CC tough i only own tactics and had already played it on the PS1 aswell i was rather disapointed in this port somehow, its VERY slowpased compared to disgaea wich i have grown acustomed to.
Besides most of the good PSP games are RPG's with lack of action so having FF:CC will be a welcome change once ya have gathered somew more games.
I honestly do not see why people like tactics, I get bored of the game in 5 minutes, and im a big FF fan, I just HATE SRPG games, Crisis core is seriously an amazing game, not on the same level as 7, but nothing ever will be, the game has ALOT to do, and it has the 2nd best graphics on PSP (after GoW) but I personally perfer it more actually, and it has full voice over for must of the game, it's just a great game every PSP owner should have.
EDIT: And the cutscenes 0_o wow im talking advent children level cutscenes!
thats a matter of preference, tactics is a strategy rpg, and crisis core is an action rpg, really just depends one what type of game you want to play. if it makes it easier FFT is an awesome game, and CC is getting rave reviews, so you can't go wrong. although i heard that its recommended you play final fantasy 7 first if your going to play CC, although not required to understand the story.
edit: just a heads up if you do decide to get FFT, the first 5 hours are tedious and hard to understand, but one of those games, that gets better and better as you play it more.

probabley explains why you got bored in 5 mins.
Well Jon Darc is tollerable for more than 5 minutes, just man tactics kills me!
I would Get both, tactics is awsome i have ramza at lvl 75 with dark knight mastered with like maybe less then 30 hours but getting cloud and batheir are fufiling(even tho cloud is pretty weak) and crisis core is going to be simply amazing
yeah i was wondering this as well, i like how Tactics plays and its appealing, but CC looks like it would be more fun (im not very good at Tactics :oops: :P)
I would strongly recommend FF Tactics. The gameplay is pretty fun(it's a strategy RPG, it should be), the story is very in depth, and it's pretty long.
Tactics is not like any other final fantasy game.. It has alot of depth.. The one dislike I have about it, is its item system is non existent.. You can't make weapons and ther eare very few huge weapons in the game.. For the most part the best weapons you will get are ones that will come with characters or you buy...
That being said, you play it for the gameplay.. THe story if anything is laughable when compared to other final fantasy games.. One thing thats kind of funny though is Cloud makes a cameo in it (the cloud that falls into the life stream point of the story).
Really read the review.. Strategy rpgs are not for every one, but I think they are the most forfilling...
I would recommend Tactics if you like SRPGs, and while I personally don't think so, a lot of people say that Tactics is a hard game. I have both the PS1 version and PSP version, and, in my opinion, it is the best game in the Final Fantasy franchise. Unlike what is said above, the story far exceeds any other FF game in terms of depth (yes, including FFVII) and the gameplay makes it very engaging. This decision really depends on your RPG taste, while I think FFT is the best FF game, I know that the majority of people think FFVII is the best (personally, I think FFVII is far overrated). I guess if you're looking for a slower paced game with a good story, go with Tactics, but if you want a fast paced button masher (from what I've heard, attacking uses only the square button) with a decent storyline, go with Crisis Core.

Tactics is a hard game to learn.. Because it has little to no tutorials that I can remember.. Infact my friend taught it to me.. And after awhile once you are above the level curve when it comes to challenges the game is almost too easy.. For instance the final boss of the game (the angel type person) only was able to attack twice before she died.. And she didn't kill a single character.

It has a tutorial. It's just not automatic like most games(you have to go to the options menu and press it).
This thread was from last year......and I remmeber posting in it......scary. Honestly though you really need to own both of these amazing titles. All the cool kids are doing it.
