Final Fantasy Tactics Had the Best Writing in the Franchise

Me: Finally I'm free of Tactics Ogre! After like 200 hours! I'm gonna go play Yakuza or something!
Sloptube: this video
Sloptube: Coffee Potato video on the various ports of FFT
It looks so good... literally Ogre 2... Matsuno and Yoshida and the gang did it again........ Its gonna slap..... must.. not.... play 200 hours of a tactics game again

FFT is one of the best games of all time. Change my mind.
Also remake when holy fuck we're getting remakes of remakes at this point and yet nobody has made a definitive remake version of this WHY NOT
- It is likely going to be a lazy slap-dash upscale of the PSP version, derail your hype trains
  
  The PSP version was kind of the definitive version as long as they also bring back the original soundtrack instead of the downscaled PSP midi soundtrack, so this would be okay honestly.
- Ivalice is one of their best worlds imo. I beat FFT years ago but only got around to FF12 like 2 years ago but after finding out they take olace in the same universe just made appreciate the lore so much more. I need to go back and play Tactics again.

Video title fact checked by real Ivalice patriots as: 100% true.

Yes, hands down my favourite game in entire franchise and best tactics game ever. I fucking wish for a continuation or even solid remake.
On a side note: The coming game Sword of Convallaria, judging from the demo, have really similar graphics and vibes, but unfortunately it's a gacha game so hell no.
PS: anyone know some similar games (PC only)? I tried few but none had it.
- have you heard of this funny little game called Tactics Ogre
  
  I couldn't get into it during PS1 years due to how inferior it seemed to FFT. Is the Tactics Ogre: Reborn good? It is only PC version i found. Or its better to try the ancient emu?

I've gotten halfway through this game like 3 times. Each time I either get stuck on a boss fight or am trying to do something weirdly specific like steal an item, and then come back to it after too long and have forgotten the kind of complicated story. One day I'll have to try to beat it without too much pausing so that doesn't happen.
- Generally named NPC like Agrias came with their own non-generic skills that makes game easier. After you get one certain NPC to join your squad entire game seems much easier due to how OP he is.
