So, I decided to load up this thing I discovered on the Interwebs, seemed fanmade. Basically Easytype (whatever that is) hacked version of Final Fantasy Tactics. Intrigued, I decided to check it out and see what all was changed, added, or omitted. Boy, I was thrown for a loop.

It starts off as usual, Alazlam going on about going on a journey for the 'truth'. Hey, why not. I'm prompted to name the hero (NOPE!!!) just because I want to see people yelling at him, heh. I also pick October 31 as the birthday, just for kicks and giggles.

Chocobos! People with no noses! Bridges! Trees! Ruins! The glorious landscape of Ivalice. Drink it in, people.

But lo, what's this? Some sort of monastery. Okay. Someone prays for way too long, I guess, because some guff duff named Gaff gets all impatient and rushes everyone along because he wants to get the job done and get paid already. MUNNAY!

We're thrown into our first fight against a Knight, three Archers, and a Chemist. I think the third Archer wasn't in the original version, but hey, I won't complain. More hapless souls for NOPE!!! to murderize.

Then I discover a few differences in Act that weren't present in the original, and some differences in AI. It doesn't make the battle harder or anything, but does drag it out a bit longer than it really needs to be, mostly owing to the fact that the enemy Knight can block hits and raise his allies. Nope, says NOPE!!! That simply won't fly.

I've included the battle in Magic City Gariland here too. Nothing too different, except apparently one of the Squires has a Bow Gun despite not having Equip Bow, and apparently said Bow Gun has Doubleshot meaning he can double hit, and knock out my dudes in one go. That is just not cool. NOPE, says NOPE!!!


I'm undecided whether I will continue with this and make a series, or if I'll just revert to the original version and carry on with that. I may just do some plot furthering and some overworld random battles before I commit to anything either way.
