In the town of St. Ivalice (don’t get ahead of me!) four school friends gather together to read from one of the character’s favorite books, coincidentally called “Final Fantasy”. As they read through the book, the four are suddenly swept away to a kingdom that bares an identical name as their town.
The gameplay for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is pretty identical to that of the original game on the Playstation, the only difference this time around is the introduction of judges, and that it was released on the Gameboy Advance.
You also have the inclusion of the character class system again, but with the addition of the judges certain rules are applied to various battlefields where either you cannot utilize magic, abilities, or certain classes. Failure to comply with the rules leads a specific character in jail for a small amount of time. It can also make some scenarios a little more difficult to make it through.
I really enjoyed Final Fantasy Tactics Advance more so than the first title, not to say I didn’t like on the contrary. I think what drew me to this game was the storyline, something about being sucked into a book and adventuring around has always been a bit of a fascination for me when it comes to fiction, especially in the fantasy genre.
Definitely an awesome game, and my favorite out of the Final Fantasy games.

Heya Michael
This actually reminded me of Final Destination. I really enjoyed the first movie of that – heaps. The sequels weren’t so good (surprise!). I also enjoyed BUTTERFLY EFFECT – have you seen that one? About consequence of your actions in life. It was excellent.
Sorry, I don’t relate to the games much, but I love reading your easy-reading style. Maybe you should try getting work as a gaming reviewer – though I don’t really know if they need many of those – or if people just review games as they come out, themselves, & the word goes around. I don’t know, you’ve got so many skills, Michael. You should be employed in ‘em.
Love dropping in on your zany pages

I’ve seen both of those films, didn’t like either one. Couldn’t get into them. I think I prefer psychological thrillers over most suspense films, I like things that make me think and keep me guessing if it is done right. A couple of examples would be; “Cube”, the “Infernal Affairs” trilogy, “Session 9″, “The Machinist”, and “Perfect Blue”, as well as many more.
There are tons of video game reviewers out there, it would be like a small fish trying to swim out into a large ocean. That, and when it comes to actually doing a review versus talking about something I like I tend to go overboard on the negative stuff. I used to be this way when I was doing music reviews. I think I would like to stick with something more positive and talk about things I like.
I have been trying to think of something to make in iBooks Author that would be a fun creative outlet that I could make money, just need to get a solid idea and flesh out some things.
I forgot you used to do music reviews – yes, that sounds like you. But I do remember saying you were negative in it.
Hey, what is iBooks Author? Just curious!
I have seen The Machinist – LOVED it; and have thought of seeing Session 9. I have possibly seen it, but can’t remember what it was about. It just seems familiar to me.
You’re an interesting dude, Michael. Thanks for sharing all that with me
