I was so surprised when I found out that Square Enix was going to release an RPG for the iPod Video and even more surprised when I finally got my hands on it.
The short: It's Final Fantasy Tactics, but watered down by a lot. Like coffee at UCSI's North Wing where I work (consider this as a food review too if you must). The important difference is that it's the FIRST RPG for the iPod FROM Square Enix and it doesn't suck.
My thoughts on the game so far:
1. Playing a tactical RPG (tRPG) with a click-wheel is not impossible or horrible. It feels right.
2. The idea of using your songs to create Tune Troopers - your army to battle evil- is damn cool... My Goldfrapp tune made me a pretty strong archer!
3. I absolutely loved Final Fantasy Tactics, so the whole idea of playing a tRPG on my iPod is heaven for me.
4. The game art is beautiful, English dialog typical.
If you have access to the iTunes Store, have an iPod Video and love Square games as much as me, go buy this game! It's only $4.99 (RM16).
It's still freaking unbelievable they ACTUALY did this. Kudos to Square Enix!
