I see Fire Emblem has really taken hold on this forum, got its own little subculture. FE is a good game and all but I personally think TA is WAY BETTER. Altitude, directional strategy, skill learning, class swapping.

It would be an effort and it would be pretty caveman but would there being interested in some effort being put into bringing it here?

I've seen games like XCOM -- complete with the tactical map -- work here on Bay 12, so I don't see why this wouldn't. Plus, Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance was one of my favorite games of all time back when I was a kid. ^^  Go for it, man!  I might just write up a character and join it if you do.

I will be hosting from my phone so I can't do images so easily(unless someone wants to recommend an art app for Android). So the map will be ascii. Oh, I welcome any attempts to improve that doodle I made before.

"You! Lyndis was it? Let's see if you can use that thing, I am no warrior..." a tired Nu Mou strained to say, before hobbling away.

Bump for more players

[Criptfeind]

This went from an interest check to a real game awfully quick, since you reference the FEF games in the opening post, I'll put out that their popularity has a lot to do with the fact that they have well translated to form game easy to understand but still mechanically and tactically satisfying to play rules available in a fairly well made pdf, so I'm wondering if you have any start with ideas on how to translate Tactics Advance (a game I also quite like) to forum games? Like, what rules you've got 'under the hood' here, if any?

[Xvareon]

Well, fancy that. I actually still have my old Nintendo Power strategy guide for FF:TA, with all pages intact. I remember the rules pretty well anyway, but this has info on all items, skills, missions... everything. If you need help, I can be a handy reference guide!

I do things because I find theyre fun. I find improvisation fun and I like to start small and grow. Thanks used to own that book.

Since I am the only person doing a Final Fantasy Tactics advance mock-up. That instantly means I am already doing the very best job at it.

*pats self on back*

(u may move Lyn)

[Xvareon]

Action: Lyndis moves 1 up, and 1 left. Face left.

I want to take things slow until I know more about what's going on. Moving up too far would mean I could get attacked from the side, therefore my attacker would get a big bonus to hit chance.

"Help!"

"A troll? Here? Where are the gu-- argh, no time!"

Lyndis moves 2 left, 1 down, 1 left. Use Sting on the troll to the north (if possible; if not, use a normal attack).

L Sting T! 4 PSN
T attack L! 5

”Ouch! Hey get outta there, come I have something for you."
