I'm weird and I have a real soft spot for the original PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy Tactics as well. Both solid games, imho.

Weird? Isn't FFT widely considered one of the best games of all time?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I honestly only ever see people talking about FFTA, I almost never see people mention FFT for playstation.

Could just be me, but I don't exactly run into lots of folks who are even aware it exists.

The lack of a modern port makes availability an issue, so it's definitely more in cult classic territory, but it is definitely a critics' darling and is often thrown around among the group of best games of all time. It's not uncommon for it to rank nr. 1 on "Best Final Fantasy Games" lists either.

I have never read much of game reviews and game news nor "top" listicles, so maybe that's why I'm less aware of the critical acclaim.

EDIT: and to be clear, it's nice to know my opinion is in good company and not weird.
