Review MistRain 3/5 · Aug 16, 2025
This game looks absolutely incredible, top gba game over here! The gameplay, it's rough for me. Im not a strategy kinda game player at all. And holy shit is it slow, damn. Also isn't it insanely hard right of the bat? Not gonna finish this but enjoyed looking and listening to it for sure!

Compared to his bigger brother on the psone, this title is in fact way more simple, but takes advantage of the gba color pallet to deliver awesome graphics.

The story is kind of shallow, but the battles get very complex with the law cards mechanism. In confess that in the late game this mechanism gets annoying as you get 3 laws preventing you from using most techniques. It was a long time in my back log and now I finally took the time to appreciate it. If you enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics, give this one a try.

Read moreThe nominal sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a kid-friendly tactical RPG. Although it bears no resemblance to FFT in terms of plotline or mood (you control a bunch of school kids who need to rescue their friend from a maaaagical fantasy realm), it borrows heavily from it mechanically. The difficulty's been ramped down, the balance has been tossed out the window, and there are a number of new features which actually work out pretty well. I wouldn't call it a terribly fine-tuned game, but it's a fun popcorn title at least.
On a side not, I will never forgive this game for changing SquareSoft's "Ivalice" from one of the most promising mature settings in gaming history into an E-rated children's programming fiesta, complete with talking donkeys and a protagonist dressed like a colorblind birthday clown.
