What’s particularly important, however, is the slight change to levelling from the original. Up to nine characters (from a maximum roster of 50) can be on the field, but these class-based templates are made altogether more individual and complex from being able to wield two weapons and a wide range of magic abilities. It just doesn’t sound… right.īut the offending subtitle is actually yanked from an old Queen song, fact fans, and this PSP redux of the 1995 original is far more concerned with preserving the sanctity of a bona fide Japanese classic than attempting to ensnare a modern market.Īt its core is a typically Japanese rendition of a Western Medieval fantasy – all green fields, horses, and suits of armour – neatly blended with a turn-based gameplay engine that would go on to kickstart an entire genre.Įvery character on the grid – both friend and foe – takes their individual actions in turn, which can include movement and either a physical attack, magical spell or perishable item.

That’s a really horrid caption, immediately conjuring up the kind of broken, half-formed Engrish sentiment that Square Enix should be doing its very best to try and get away from in 2011.
