For all of you who missed out on FFT goodness (like me) the first time around, there is hope!

Lookie here

The finest game for the Playstation has made it to the Greatest Hits collection meaning it'll now be available in more copious amounts for around 20-25 bucks.

Excal, Woot!

But maybe if there are enough sales, Square will get off their asses and make an FFT2. It's been a dream of mine for oh so very long...

You have to realize "Square" isn't a collective, it's made up of several teams made up ofpeople. the Tactics team was mdae up partly of Ex-Quest employees (Which is why it's similar to Tactics Ogre)

The team, after tactics, sort of split. The ones that remained in square went on to do Vagrant Story (which explains the heavy Tactics references) and the actual battle mechanics guys (the quest guys) left.

They're next game is to be Hoshigami for the PSX.

It will be on american shelves this fall, and it looks almost EXACTLY (style-wise) like Tactics.

That game looks really cool. I must get it.

By the way, thanks for going to all that trouble.

"I got a good feeling!" - Generic human returning from subquest

"Defeat Dycedarg's elder brother!" - win conditions for a battle where you have to defeat Dycedarg, Ramza's elder brother

"Steady Sword!" - Agrias, Orlandu or various others casting STASIS sword

And let's not forget EVERY SINGLE SPOONY WORD that that spoon Daravon says.

FFT is a great game, but its translator obviously had a horrible grasp on the English language.

The terrible translations like "I got a good feeling!" and "This is the way!" is what made the game so fun to play over and over and over again. It never once made it the game more dificult, it made it funny! Bad translation makes everything better. From Metal Gear's "Locate missing our Grey Fox. to Lufia 2's "You overestimate yourself! Now you shall see my real power, in your face!" bad translations are what make the world go round.

So next time someone in your game says something badly translated, or even exceptionally stupid (I now call to the stand Mike Tyson's Punchout), please appreciate the sheer humor that you can draw from it. Thank you.

I'm playing Lufia 2 again right now, in fact. I'd forgotten how bad of a translation it was.
