Part of me likes what I'm seeing in this trailer for Square Enix's Final Fantasy Tactics S while the other part hates that I like it

So, the folks at Square Enix released a teaser trailer for Final Fantasy Tactics S, a free-to-play (Japanese) Mobage title, yesterday.

To be completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what's going on in said trailer, which can be seen below.



That said, it seems it plays more like Ogre Battle than any of the company's previous Final Fantasy Tactics titles--which would be fine with me if the game weren't receiving reviews like the ones that have been published on NeoGAF so far.

For a bit more information on Final Fantasy Tactics S, by the way, check out this educational post over at Shinju Forest.

I was excited for a few moments when I started seeing stuff about this. Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is one of my favorite DS games, and I was hoping this was a sequel. /sigh

I'm still a little mad at Square-Enix for making a teaser site for The World Ends With You only for it to end up for a ios port. Mobile games are great and all but the kind of games Square-Enix makes I prefer on a handheld/home console.

How about they work on FF VS XIII instead of all these other projects?

Or at least a new Final Fantasy Tactics game that has appealing gameplay, right? Or anything but another iffy iOS spin-off. But that's just my opinion.

I agree, MH2882. I really wish they'd make more 3DS or even Vita games than all of these iOS ones :|

I've yet to play FFTA2, sadly, but I'm definitely going to give it a go sooner or later, Zaphod. Regardless, I agree with you that this would've intrigued me a lot more if it were a 3DS release.

I love Final Fantasy and strategy/RPG games, but this one just has not hit that sweet spot with me yet. There are moments where it looks okay, but then I don't think about it again until I see a post about it elsewhere, like here. Then I think: I may give this a try... and then get dstracted and forget all about it again.

I hear ya, Chalgyr. Of course, it helps that not many of us could actually play the damn thing even if we wanted to. Regardless, I'd much rather SE focus on"real" 3DS or even Vita games than iOS ones. Oh, well...
