The Valerian Isles, jewels of the Obero Sea. Long a center of naval commerce, the people of the isles struggled throughout history for dominion over her shores.Finally there rose a man to put an end to this conflict: Dorgalua Oberyth. But history would know him as the "Dynast-King." King Dorgalua strove to stamp out the hatred among the people of the isles, and for fully half a century, Valeria knew prosperity.
Yet upon the king's death, civil war erupted anew as three factions vied for control: the Bakram, who comprised much of Valeria's nobility; the Galgastani, whose people made up the majority of the isles' population; and the Walister, who numbered but few.
The isles were soon divided between the Bakram and Galgastani, and an uneasy peace settled across the land. Yet none believed the calm would last...

[h1][b] TLDR: A tactics game that obsessively kneecaps the player at every turn with level caps, pre-buffed bosses, and constant numerical disadvantage until any semblance of fun has been balanced away. [/b] [/h1] [h1]PROS: [/h1] ➕ Art style ➕Fully voice acted ➕ Difficult choices that change the story ➕Going back multiple turns to pick different moves is an amazing feature [h1]CONS: [/h1] ➖Level cap is annoying ➖Buff cards are dumb and sometimes frustrating when the bosses come pre-filled with them ➖Game freeze count = 2 (Steam Deck - can require changing proton version) ➖Story can be confusing with constantly dropping names who I don’t remember who they are and how they fit into the political climate ➖Many “Dark Souls”-style of quests - easily missed, and you'd never find them unless using a guide [h1] [b] Content (Game world/Narrative) – [4/10] [/b] [/h1] The game world consists of and overworld map and the battle maps. The overworld map has a variety of areas to visit, but it’s a completely on-rails experience that you cannot deviate from. You can visit shops and train, but it’s all very linear with zero exploration potential. The narrative ebbs and flows between dece…2 found this helpful
Alot of issues with this game, camara action is the worse its really bad does not allow u to move durring play so most of the time u can not hit your target or even highlight it. char are really bad looks like they have just copied and pasted from another basic game, skills and items are hard to use in a way where its hard to work if its worth changeing weapon or skill. vlv up does not allow u to pick where your skill points go and also this lvl up block sucks, guys how can u have a char u fighting agaist to have better stats and health/weapons and u can not spend the time to lvl up you char above what it allows u too, game is too much controillng instead of letting u play the game and making the game worth playing. going to play some more and see if it changes my mind but its very annoying. I will also add that with this lvl cap, u are maxed lvl going into a fight that is a higher lvl then u and better spells and others, u kill everything and u can not use your xp as u already maxed lvl then after the match it says moveing lvl up 2 lvl and u have lost all that exp u could have put into the new lvl and have to farm for another round of 15-20 mins. thank god that u can replay a char…1 found this helpful
One of the best remakes I've ever played! Take note team Final Fantasy Tactics; THIS is how you make a remake! NOT omit part of what makes it good, release it at full price while claiming that it has been 're-worked' from beginning to maintain originality when the story line stays the same.....
I played original and this one. I liked both, people who praise old one are those who are stuck in the past, don't pay attention to them, game is good, 10/10
Matsuno's other SRPG masterpiece
great tactical strategy game..living upto its legacy
