There were a few threads that were made recently beating a Final Fantasy game. I've created a thread where you can post about your review on the game.

If you have beaten Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time...Please post your Final Fantasy I reviews here.

If you beat Final Fantasy Tactics already and still want to write a review, then go ahead.

I beat FFT a long time ago so i haven't played the new version.

First off, FFT is second only to FF7 in my book. It's strongest point is its story and gameplay. The story is very complex and sometimes harsh with strong themes of loyalties, betrayals, religious corruption and political strife. It is Final Fantasy in the Medieval times. There are a large number of characters overall and i think the numerous villains and side characters were a strong point. One drawback is that character development pretty much stops once you get a special character on your team, except for Ramza the lead protagonist who has a good character arc. A good game, movie or book makes you love or hates its characters, and if you don't hate Algus, and feel some compassion for Delita than something is wrong with your brain.

The Gameplay takes some getting used to as it is different from the numbered final fantasies, but once you do customizing your own small army of warriors is a blast with tons of skills, abilities, and equipment. The battles can be long and a little slow in that you have to position your troops for success but that is the tactics aspect of the game. It is challenging throughout, in fact one of the hardest missions is the 4th battle (dang you dorter trade city!)

If you have a PSP pick up the new version if you have never played it. New cutscenes and an extra cameo can't hurt it, and i'm sure they fixed the typo's in the original.

One of the best games i've played! 9.5/10!

No, Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy, in Medieval Times. In fact, half of all Final Fantasy games were medieval. I'm guessing you've only played newer ones?

Dorter Trade City was not hard at all, really. Bed Desert, Wiegraf, and others were very hard.

Battles are certainly not slow after awhile.
