The reason I remember this day so clearly is because it ended horribly.
I hadn’t played too many tactical turn-based strategy games at the time, but I also didn’t think I would have any problems figuring out the gameplay flow.
Having just finished testing four pages of codes for Game Informers’ hint and password section, Secret Access, my cohorts recognized my hard work by letting me be the first person in the office to play Final Fantasy Tactics. At the time, our team consisted of just six writers – all huge Final Fantasy fans. When Final Fantasy Tactics arrived in Game Informer’s office, the entire editorial team gathered in our “demo area,” which was a just a couch, an ungodly heavy 36-inch television, and a wall covered in Zelda and Sonic posters, to wage war in the kingdom of Ivalice together. After my lengthy stroll down memory lane, I’m detailing why you should revisit this game. I’m kicking it off with a story that illustrates how it became an obsession of mine, and why I fought so vehemently to give it a prominent spot on Game Informer’s Top 200 Games of All Time list (it landed at #45). My Time Sink is a little different than my coworkers’.
