one of the bests FF's ever
FFT: The war of the Lions will make u be addicted to it. The whole story itself is like a hook, which will make you not want to let your psp away. Great plot, great characters, great cutscenes. This is, indeed, a must have.

Excellent
Alongside Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, Jeane D'Arc and this title, the PSP has proven itself to be a formidable platform for outstanding strategy games.

Best tatic for PSP!
It's amazing, what they did in this, the game is beuty, anda run smooth, all class, and batle made us want to play more and more, take it, woth every single peny!

Slightly Disappointing
As a remake of Final Fantasy tactics for a current generation machine, Square Enix do a passable job at what they set out to achieve. The lag which wasn't present on the original playstation edition is a let down as is the high amount of level grinding required in the early game. The bonus characters are a nice addition but somewhat superfluous.

As a tactics game on the PSP, it won't let you down but I much prefer Disgaea.

The War of the Lions
overall its an enjoyable experience, especially when you win, which happens a lot actually, since the character stats are a bit unbalanced

at the beginning of the game, i found that there was a lot of emphasis placed on level grinding, however, when past that first boss, it was much more entertaining

the lag was there also, when characters like summoners did their magic attacks there was a mistiming between the skill and the skills sound... it doesnt completely wreck the game though, but its there...

Good but...
The whole zodiac system is too confusing, and makes fighting hard sometimes. Also the mistranslation of the Orion Knight is still there, know commonly known and the Onion Knight... for the best rank its a bit lame, someone ought to change it... otherwise a great game!

Great Fun
the cutscenes are gorgeous
and who doesnt a well remade classic
with extra characters
this game is a good 50+hrs
of entertainment

Incredible Game
It's FFT all over again + a few extras. New Video Cutscenes rendered in Cell-Shading + Voice-Over (US-Edition) and Multiplayer Missions. The translation was also improved and corrected. The only reason why this game didn't get a perfect rating is the horrible lag, which occurs at every single skill-use and the Audio-Quality reduction. Square-Enix should have done better considering that the PSP is more capable than the PSX in which FFT was released at first.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou
Square-Enix, developes of the Final Fantasy series, have been on a roll, remaking their older titles for the past two years. Its latest addition is Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War, a remake for the PlayStation Portable. Players of the original will find that The Lion War comes full of extras. Two new Job classes - The Dark Knight and the Onion Knight - are available, as are two additional unique characters. Balthier from Final Fantasy XII and Russo from the upcoming Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 are characters who can join your party. There is also an ad hoc wireless mode. You play as Ramza Beoluve, a former noble who has grown disillusioned with the war between the countries of Goltana and Larg. While fighting as a mercenary, however, he uncovers a far more sinister plot surrounding the 12 Zodiac stones and an attempt to take over the world of Ivalice and sets off the uncover the truth and stop disaster.

Strategy players will feel right at home in the turn-based battle system. Battles use the Charge system, with both enemies and allies taking their turns according to a Charger gauge. When it reaches 100, the unit can move, attack and so forth. This opens upthe secondary charge system, in which players can choose to attack immedately, or charge more powerful spells that will be used after a short pause. If enemies or allies move out of the field of effect before that occurs, the spell still goes off, but its effects could be wasted or even hurt your own units. Battles are heavily varied, with 22 Jobs to obtain and master. Characters gain two types of levels, Job and Character levels. The only issue with the game is its incessant lag.

Moving the camera or using spells and skills result in a noticeable freeze between when the action is carried out and its subsequent effect. The longer the animation lasts, the bigger the time lapse between its animation and sound. While a certain amount of loading is to be expected in many PSP titles, the amount of lag here borders on the absurd.

Too Slow
This game is great, great story great game mechanics. But I found the slow down for spells to be unbearable at times. It's not enough to ruin the game, but enough to get you aggrivated SEVERAL times.

Great game!
This is a great port from the PS1 version of the game, about the only flaw getting into it so far is using the Magic and some of the abilities it tends to slow down on the PSP a slight bit, but not enough to make you mad, still a must get for anyone that loved the old FFT game!
