Is a 1/2 star ranking unfair? Yes...yes, it is. But to me, a 1/2 star it remains.
Sure, the gameplay is reminiscent of the original title on the PS1, but I can never forgive this game as being the sole sequel to the original FFT, which I consider to be a masterpiece.
This game to me is a disgrace and I will never accept it. And no matter what, I cannot help myself to compare it to the original, as it shares its name. This would be like making a sequel to Game of Thrones Season 1, and it ends up being Chronicles of Narnia... it's like, what the hell happened here? The soul of the original was completely eviscerated along with its tone, heavily political backdrop, mature storytelling, etc.
This commercial summarizes the quality of this game...

This game is an abomination. To this day, I still hold out hope for a proper Tactics sequel...
