There are two side plots: the Redwing Arc and the Judge Arc. A menu will appear above the location and enable the player to select this option, and the game automatically scans the area for items, which are put into the items menu for future use. Depending on the placement of the tokens, items are rewarded but to get to them the player must travel to the newly placed location and engage in a "treasure hunt". The tokens are placed in slots on the world map of the player's choice and represent different terrains and settlements, such as plains, mountains, deserts, forests, and towns. The map is customized as the player wins "area tokens" after completing certain missions. The world map is initially empty save for the starting location. Area missions are usually a dispatch mission where Marche's clan can liberate certain regions to obtain bonuses and discounts at shops. Dispatch missions do not involve battle, and the player must temporarily send away one party member for a time to complete it. They are represented by a character icon that freely moves about, and sometimes must be pursued to engage in combat with them. In encounter missions Marche's group battles a rival mercenary clan by purchasing a mission, or by meeting them while moving about the map. Marche's party ventures to a particular location to do battle in regular missions, and many are used to advance the story. The four types of missions include regular, encounter, dispatch, and area. The player guides their units' actions across the three-dimensional battlefield in turn-based gameplay. The enemy parties consist of monsters, bosses, or members of each of the five humanoid races who populate Ivalice. Others require a certain skill or job class. Some missions require a special item to accept it this may mean another mission must be done first.

The missions of varying difficulty are offered in pubs scattered around the world map, and a fee must be paid to partake they are essential to advancing the story and obtaining valuable items and experience points. The player takes the role of Marche, who is accepted into a clan and must organize its members and take part in various missions to gain experience and status. 6 Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.Please use the links provided to the side of the screen to view information and other FFT related pages. Welcome to the Caves of Narshe Final Fantasy Tactics section. However, someone else is controlling the war, and Ramza takes it upon himself to determine just who that is, and to stop them. The game takes place during the Lion War in which two Princes of Ivalice vie for who should reign while the late King's son grows up. After that, it not only spawned a Game Boy Advance game with similar mechanics (but wildly different storyline), it also received the classic Squenix remake treatment in October 2007 for the PSP.įinal Fantasy Tactics takes gamers to the world of Ivalice through the eyes of Ramza Beoulve, a noble who learns the truth about the way the world works. Though Final Fantasy Tactics didn't enjoy immediate success, it has become a cult classic with a huge following and has recently been named a Greatest Hit. It took classic CRPG elements and combined them with more strategy, including a job system and a battle system in which characters walk around and fight on a map. Released in January 1998, Final Fantasy Tactics was one of the most innovative console RPGs of its time.
