    boring and gay compared to FFTA and i dont care what anyone else thinks

      I really like both. Too different for me to compare. I felt like in ffta though my team would end up stuck in one job forever because it was great. Sniper, assassin, fighter, etc. Not really a complaint.

      I absolutely love both

      FFT is pretty hard to get into, since its so frickin slow and that early fight with the archers can be bullshit. Its just that grinding takes fricking forever.

      But if you stick to it, u can make some broken units and a have a blast. Also the story is frickin phenomenal, possible the best story out of any FF title.

        anything sounds gay when you type it in a gay way, watch: waaahhhh marche's BWC was too big for doned's tight butthole, doned just wanted to live in a fantasy world because we was a cucked gay in real life why couldnt he juat leave him alone waaaahhh. see? super gay. that's how you sound.
        >hi, i'm a french moogle who doesn't look like a moogle at all! never call a lizard a lizard, lololol such complicated social politics amirite
        mentally ill complaint.

        you said literally nothing about gameplay aside from the law criticism which doesnt even apply because you're wrong about it, which means this game filtered you because you were a doned-identifying cuck and you didnt know how to work around laws

        A shitty translation that hipsters convince themselves is good.
        Wait for the remaster announcement, and if it looks like shit play the PSP version with speedhacks.

        The FFTA story is one of the best stories ever told in a video game, not because of the quality of the writing but because it causes the same divide in real life between people that see the importance of not letting escapism consume you vs. losers like you that think the story sucks because they too wish they could escape their shit life into a video game world instead of dealing with reality.

    Hell on earth if you don't look at the tutorial. I'm serious, look at it. I know it's slow, I know it's boring, the game even lampshades that with one of the skills.

    Other than that, one of the best FFs in terms of story and music, and a top notch turn-based strategy game. Like most job system FFs it can be easily broken but that's not a big deal.

          I think they're more like Otyugh, another DnD monster. FFI had Ochus but not Malboros.
          >"Ochu" comes from Dungeons & Dragons; specifically, it is the otyugh. The name in Japanese (and transliterations) comes from the pronunciation; it is pronounced with a short O and T (practically to a ch), making the pronunciation close to "o-chuugh". "オチュー" is the closest the katakana system can get to representing the sound without using compound katakana pronunciations not natively found in Japanese.

          I think Ahriman are closer to Beholders. Looks like Malboro took the eyestalks (sometimes) and Ahriman took the central eye.

                That's what I meant, actually. They changed it SOMEHOW, there must be a way to reverse it. Sounds like something a simple hexedit could do, but I don't know where to look.
