Throughout history, wars repeat themselves in various times
and places. Form these wars, legends of heroes are handed
down from generation to generation. Weathered by rumors
and the passing of time, the truth may be forgotten, the
reality buried under the legends.
Many years ago, a war seethed and erupted within the land
of Ivalice. It lasted for 50 years, finally ending when
both sides laid down their arms. However, the war had exhausted
the people's strength and the country resources, and the
situation within Ivalice gradually became worse.
The lords of the six ruling families united to guide Ivalice
back to prosperity. However, their delicate balance of power
soon collapsed. One year after the 50 year war had ended,
Ivalice's Princess Ovelia was abducted. Prompted by this,
conflict grew between two families: Gallione (ruled by Prince
Larg, whose crest was one of a White Lion) and Zeltennia
(ruled by Prince Goltana, whose crest was a Black Lion).
The war between the two families would be later known as
"The Lion War". Added to the backdrop of the Lion
War was the problem of succession to Ivalice's throne due
to the sudden death of the King. Prince Larg is the elder
brother of Queen Ovelia Prince while Goltana is the younger
cousin of the dead King. According to historical record,
a young hero named Delita suppressed the Lion War soon after
it engulfed Ivalice. There was also another young man named
Ramza who played a role during the Lion War, though you
will not see Ramza's name in any history books. Now the
true story can be told...
You play the hero, Ramza, born in the noble family of Beoulve
who have served the Larg's for generations. His two brothers
commanded Ivalice's most powerful military corps, leaving
Ramza with feelings of inferiority. After graduating from
the Gariland office academy, he joined Princess Ovelia's
protection team and while there, witnessed the Princess
abduction.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a well liked by game by many FF
players who commented on the good storyline and gameplay.
The gameplay sets in a Ogre battle/Vandal hearts kind of
system and style, although packed with much more features
like classes, jobs, learning abilities as well as the different
ways in using them.
Backed together with a great storyline and awesome stunning,
unique style of combat and system, the game offers high
replay value and is highly recommended to all FF fans.
