FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift is a strategy and tactics game with battles, missions, swords, and sorcery, set in the universe of the hugely successful FINAL FANTASY series. Alone in a foreign world, Luso befriends a motley crew of monks, mages, archers, and soldiers. The only hope you have of finding your way home is to turn your ragtag group of misfits into a finely tuned fighting force. As you gain experience and reputation, your job options grow as well as the rewards. But after spending some time in Ivalice, you may never want to leave!
Product Description
Return to Ivalice in the latest instalment of the legendary FINAL FANTASY TACTICS series. Summer vacation has begun for all but one unlucky student. Alone in the school library, Luso solemnly toils away the punishment his mischief has brought him. It is there that he finds a dusty, mysterious book. Opening it, he reads aloud the only text it contains: is fated to fill these barren pages. Know you his name? Scrawling his name onto the next blank page, Luso unwittingly begins the first chapter of an adventure all his own.
- Tactics A2 brings more than 50 job classes to the player, enhancing one of the FINAL FANTASY series most distinctive features
- All-new content and enhancements, including polished game mechanics, new jobs, new races and a new clan system that enrich the Ivalice experience for fans and newcomers alike
- The North American release will allow players to command characters in battle and navigate through menus all with a tap of the stylus
- Witness vibrant and colorful visuals in dual-screen presentation, made possible by Nintendo DS
- Increased replay value with up to 400 available quests, allowing players to immerse themselves in a multi-faceted storyline

If you like turn based tactics games this is the one for you! Immersive gameplay, lots of jobs (classes) and sheer endless tactical possibilities and depth. Don't expect a deep story, expect very varied fights, some (especially in the first part of the game) rather easy, but some quite difficult. As you can change between jobs and have two different sets of skills there are numerous ways you can approach each tactical situation. Smart combination of your skills will be rewarded and the "Law" system* adds to the alure, as it keeps you from constantly using the same tactics and characters. Two difficulty settings add to the already good value for your money.
In short, there is no better turn based tactics game for the DS. Period.
*for each battle there is a certain restriction (like: no using fire, or no blunt weapons). You can still win the battle, even if you break the law, but you will miss out on some bonus loot.

After a slew of unsucessful and just downright bland Tactical RPGs for the DS have been released, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is a cut above the rest. You play as Luso a mischievous boy who accidently gets sucked into the world of Invalice via a magical tome found in his schools library.He meets a whole host of weird and wonderful characters like the feisty yet mysterious girl Adelle and the cute,wandering troubadour Hurdy.While the games main story may fall a little short it definitely makes up for with various side-quest, known as jobs. Jobs are very much like the first Tactics Advance game a main objective with a judge law to uphold which some of them are easy to stick to like not using items or the more trickier ones like only being able to attack under 50 attack points or having to move 3 spaces at a time, while admitted like grow frustrating and tedious the game doesnt disappoint. Character classes are a big deal in the game while there are quite a few default classes alot of the more colourful classes are acquired by completing certain jobs such as the moogles Chocobo Knight or the Humes Yojimo (which is like a bodyguard). Another great addition is the Bazaar which is located at the shop, while only a few basic weapons are available certain items such as vines,a fire crystal will give you something like a bow which as a skill attributed to it. As a fan of the series I'm very impressed with it, and it's one of, if not my favourite DS game so far.

I've had a lot of fun with this game - It's simple enough that I could understand what I was doing pretty quickly, and yet complex enough that there was lots to explore - up to 24 characters in your 'clan' and you use six at a time. It was fun learning everyones skills and abilities and experimenting with different jobs and equipment. The game consists of lots of quests, some important for the arc of the main story, and others just for fun or to gain experience. I found the game very addictive and have spent hours and hours on it. I've finished it, but since after the final credits it goes back to your last save point, I may play on and try to complete all the quests (although some of them are virtually imposible, at least to me :-) ). It's probably one of my favourite of the ds Final Fantasy games and I've played most of them.
