Final Fantasy Tactics by SquarEnix
I think this game is the most interesting game of all time; except when it reaches NDS for some weird reason, it went straight downhill. The original FFT which is played on PS then now available to PSP, is among the top rated tactic game with awesome story line, which I think is still relevant to today as long as Vatican still standing.
Anyway, this game has a very interesting gameplay, like a chess board. This is the first tactic game that I have ever played, which I think one of the earliest game that uses this form of battlefield. Basically, it is like chess where characters move in grids, buildings are very square-ly almost like de stijl. However, landscape is still very much interesting, very eye-appealing, almost very original. To cut it short, physically, this game rocks.
Did I mention about the characters' design? They are perfect. Each characters have different outfit, according to their Jobs. You can be a Knight, Monk, Priest, Wizard, Calculator *duh*, Dragoon, etc etc and even Dancer and Bard. I think too, this game leads to MMORPG like Ragnarok and MappleStory to develop very unusual job system for their characters. Of course, with each jobs, you have different abilities, movement, speed, etc.
Gameplay wise, it is very easy. Especially almost about 50% of gameplay, you will recruit this old man who can practically rule the whole battlefield by himself. This is very weird, of course, since Squaresoft (the original developer of the game) has the habit of making players suffer with weak characters. But nonetheless, the game is made more challenging with the almost-close-to-countless side-stories with secret characters and MANY MANY MANY limited items to collect. For a perfectionist in virtual world like me, this game is just perfect. The secrets are obtainable but difficult.
Then SquarEnix made this game possible to PSP. How great is that that now, the game is available even in MRT!!! Well, I dont need to point out any weaknesses of the game, it is just perfect. :)
