This is the greatest tactical RPG you will ever play, or that had ever been made. Hands down. Final Fantasy Tactics takes the job systems of Final Fantasy III & V and perfects them while at the same time aptly applying them to a tactical battle grid. The graphics are beautifully rendered sprites. The music is incredible, and of the caliber in which you will find yourself longing for these sweet melodies for years after you played the game. The storyline is intricate and deals with heavy and real-life issues such as class conflict, the state and theology while at the same time incorporating enough occultism to keep your third eye open. Gameplay will keep you interested for 90+ hours, and the more you play the game, the more interesting and richer the battle system actually becomes, as there are a plethora of items to acquire, skills to gain and even some hidden spells to keep you interested. There is only one draw back to this edition of the game it's poor translation. This is easy to overlook though, and really does not compromise the game in the least. Anyone who does not appreciate this Final Fantasy Tactics is a dullard and probably finds Super Nintendo LJN games interesting.

This is an excellent game. While it is not the longest, the storyline is rich and the gameplay is enjoyable, reminding one vaguely of Secret of Mana. If you want an RPG with a deep and touching plot which tells a tale approaching near hierogamy (sorry Selan, but its obvious) with an all around deeper transcendental meanings then Curse of the Sinistrals will not disappoint.
