I have been quite busy and have not had the PSP out for several months. I bought the Final Fantasy Tactics game last week and just this evening got out the PSP to see what the game is like. I’m not sure if I like it yet … I don’t dislike it … it is still way too early to tell since I only barely began the game.
BUT … when I tried to turn the game on, it had no charge (I expected that) … but what I didn’t know or expect was that it would make me reset the date and time on it. I guess I was expecting it to keep that info even if the battery was completely uncharged.
I plugged it in and charged it while playing the game and everything still works just fine and it charged fine - it is now sitting there with a full charge waiting for me to play again .. perhaps tomorrow .. perhaps not … depends on how tired I am tomorrow nite and how much I need to get done of other things. Now, it is time to walk the dog and get some rest so gaming is over for today.

I love the Final Fantasy games and this one has an interesting storyline but the menu and grid battle system is not one of my favorite … I would prefer not to be involved in the mechanics of getting from one place to another - that gets really tedious really quickly. Another problem I am finding is that I have trouble telling exactly where they can move to because no matter which way I turn the camera .. the angle can be wrong so it then becomes a guessing game. And perhaps it is just me but even when I can see the square, it is difficult to tell if you are next to the monster or not. I think it is a matter of the viewing angle being off in the game … it is not a major deal-breaker but it is quite annoying.
