Is Final Fantasy Tactics officially dead? I really like Ivalice and the gameplay is incredibly fun despite being so simple.
Apart from Tactics Ogre is there anything else that comes close to resembling FFT?

Square Enix should make an HD bundle of all 3 FFT games or a brand new game for the switch, God knows id pay for that. But no, square enix just wants to pour their entire bank account into FFXV and FFVII remakes because they're stupid as shit.

Only things I know about the remake is that it's being released by 2023, they scraped the gameplay elements, and that it's divided into 3 parts because they're kikes. It's pretty bad but not as bad as the development hell FFXV went through, IIRC they completely redid the game twice

A2 really fucking sucked after they shoehorned FF12 characters into it and forced them into your party.

Good thing they only redid the remake of VII once so far. Still plenty of time left to mismanage it a few more times by 2023.

Yes and it should stay that way.
I really don't want for modern (((Square-Enix))) to resurrect it.
FFT was the best one.
FFTA was meh I enjoyed for jobs it had, but laws were stupid and it was way too easy.
FFTA2 was dumpster fire Bazaar was kind of neat though, but enemies disappearing after they got 0 HP was completely retarded

Tactics Ogre had a better story than FFTA. I like FFTA, but I was disappointed that it didn't use the universe in FFT.

Tactics Ogre has a great story full on intrigue, it just kind of ends as things seem to be getting interesting.
I do like the branching paths though, I just wish there was more to it and they didn't make progression exclusively related to picking up randomly dropped cards.

What the fuck are you smoking? The entire premise of FFT is that the gameplay actually has depth. Hence it being called "Tactics".

I breezed through Tactics, it wasn't too hard. I think that's what he means. Once you learn proper positioning and get a feel for battle, especially when you can predict whom'st'd've the enemies will go for, it becomes pretty simple. Then again I like playing chess and I spend a long time before making a move.

You don't need actual tactics outside of WotL.
It gets pretty simple in all the sequels.

Tactics Ogre is mostly piss easy until you get to the end, no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
And the FFTA has the exact same mechanics, they just don't force you to use them during the main story. All the hard stuff is bonus after you complete the game.

I'd really like more FFT style games that take the Disgaea DS approach of having a map available at all times. My ideal scenario would be having the main game on one monitor and the map on the other but given the pain that would be to set up I would settle for a minimap.

Yes. FFVII remake killed all chances of good FF spin-offs. Which is why all the Tactics-related stuff is going to FFXIV and Dissidia NT.

Yeah. It's been dead for about two decades now. There hasn't been a single sequel to the original game. I'd say that's pretty much dead.

Probably closer to getting revived than it has been in a while - Unsung Story, that dead Kickstarter, got bought by a different company and that new company went to meet with Matsuno, who warned them that if they didn't do the triangle movement system, that he would. And with the Final Fantasy Tactics 2 concept being shown on the FF14 live stream they did last week, I'm getting the feeling Matsuno is itching for more Ivalice, and presumably more Tactics.
Obviously this is all gut feeling, no hard evidence whatsoever.

Unfortunately due to programming limitations (the engine can only support 9 different sprites on screen at once) the bulk of enemy generics are about 75% knights, archers and mages so you really only need to build a team to counter them to have it easy.
That's why battles with named characters are so boring, cause 5 player slots + npcs leaves barely any choice for the enemy generics.

I didn't mind FFTA2, my main beef with it would be the same problem I have with later Disgaea games. Too many unnecessary uniques, and I bet they will fuck up Tactics 2 the same way. May as well just make Kingdom Hearts Tactics and flood it with character lootcrates.

Tactics Ogre has a fantastic story, better than any other game in the genre and one of the best in video games.
It's a shame that the game itself has trivial difficulty, hilariously bad AI, many questionable design choices (class level system), and other outright terrible choices (crafting system). Playing that game was the first and only time I've forced myself through a game that felt truly repetitive and boring to see the story.
This is one of my favorite genres but the flaws of Tactics Ogre are too many for me to recommend it.
