Square揭示了有關Final Fantasy Tactics Advance(以下簡稱FFTA)的第1手資料,
以Final Fantasy的作風看來, FFTA將會像傳統FF系列只有和前作(FFT)有很少關係.
令人害怕的是, Secret of Evermore的陰影在這裡將它們暴露了出來;
FFTA講述兩位普通的學童遇上災難, 被捲進一個和現實不同的幻想世界.
原因? 因為一本叫"Final Fantasy"的書, 真是一個合適的理由.

幸運地, FFTA不像是嬉皮士般沒智慧. Marsh是有愛心的, Mute則人如其名,
沉默和害羞的. 他們會在一個用了類似Legend of Mana的
"地圖自由生成系統"的世界中戰鬥和探索未被發現的大陸.

這兒由3個遊戲技術(系統)組成FFTA的骨架.
1: Judgment System審判系統管理戰鬥部份, 雖然JS對戰鬥的影響尚未明朗,
但它看來會這樣被這樣稱呼是因為有1個裁判員監視重場戰鬥.
2: Clan System部族系統是比原來FFT更一致去分發不同的任務、工作
与及被差遣的角色可以從事他們的部族或所屬團隊.
3: (註1)Region System地域系統就如上述提及的地圖自由生成系統.

註1: 原文是寫"Region"即軍隊, 但如果指的是地圖系統,
恐怕是Rpgamer的人將日文原文的"L"和"R"聲母搞亂了.

First Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Details

Square has revealed the first information surrounding its Game
Boy Advance sequel Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and in true
Final Fantasy fashion, it looks as though the sequel has very
little relation to its predecessor. Frighteningly, shades of Secret
of Evermore manifest themselves here; FFTA will start out
following the misadventures of two average schoolchildren
who are sucked into a fantasy world from their mundane
existence. The catalyst? A book named Final Fantasy,
conveniently enough.

Fortunately, FFTA's resemblance to SNES disasters of old ends
here; Marsh and Mute, the two boys, don't look to be the
sort to make wisecracks about movies and beat up mosquitos
with a bone. Marsh is painted as benevolent, while Mute, in
keeping with the tradition of descriptive video game character
names, is quiet and shy. The two will battle their way across
an undiscovered continent using a world-building system that
some suggest bears similarity to that found in Legend of Mana.

There are three sets of gameplay mechanics which merge to
form the backbone of FFTA. The Judgment system governs
combat, and although how this will influence battle remains
unclear, it seems it is so named because a judge oversees
battles. The Clan system is more in line with the original Final
Fantasy Tactics, and deals with the various tasks, jobs, and
errands characters can undertake once they become clan or
guild members. Lastly, the Legion system is the
aforementioned world-building or discovery that seems to take
its cue from LoM.

These are sketchy details at this point, so don't be surprised if
a number of changes are made before the final product ships.
As it stands, one of the longest awaited sequels in the RPG
world is finally underway, and however it turns out, there is
sure to be an enthusiastic response when FFTA ships,
however it ends up looking and playing. Currently, that is
scheduled to happen by the end of the year in Japan, while a
North American release has yet to be confirmed.
