The truck-load of mech options makes the gameplay even deeper than Tactics Ogre type games. As you progress, your characters also obtain different skills that are randomly performed in different environments. The game is extremely long, as well. If you have enough courage to brave both adventures, there are supposedly 131 battles to wage. I managed to complete only of the quests which took me a month to finish.
Square is able to pack all the gameplay onto one disc because of their clever use of graphics.
Visuals are still pretty good however. Mech animation is well done and the real-time cutscenes are pretty. If you liked Final Fantasy Tactics, have A LOT of time to kill, and also like customizing huge robots, this game is definitely for you. While this game is a must-have for strategy fans, RPG fans should also take interest because of its awesome storyline. E-mail me .
