Got the shipment from Nintendo today. I've done a few battles and so far I like it. Great soundtrack that I can finally enjoy in stereo with the SP headphones that came with the order.

No go at BBuy until Thursday but CCity is holding my copy until closing tonight Gonna have me some dinner then going to pick it up with a $5 BBuy coupon. $22 FFTA Goodnes
My dad's visiting so I won't get to play it until I go back to work on the 26th. That's what I'm going to be doing until Oct 15th when Demi Kids is coming out and then Oct 21st when SMB3 is finally arriving

I like how it has a TV option for Gameboy Player usage. I played for awhile on my SP while waiting in line for "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". Now I want to see how it looks on the TV. I hope the TV setting looks good.

I liked the screen settings as well. It has a brighter LCD mode for regular GBAs to make it easier to see and a darker more detailed mode for SPs. Then a TV mode to make it look its best on the GBA Player. Well thought out by Square.

I picked it up today at the BB by my work. They always put out stuff early. In the process of loading it up. Man, I'm so stoked. Everything I've read says this is better than the PS1 version. That's pretty hard to believe, but if true, I will be one happy man. Definately worth the $80 for the GBA Player and the game.

I'm playing it right now and I'm stoked as well. AWESOME game so far. I'm at the point where Montblanc is showing Marche the map. I'm playing it on the GBA Player as well.
This definitely feels like it's going to be an awesome awesome game.

It's not hype when it's true
I have not played the PS1 version but I have never felt so excited to play a video game like I'm feeling now. Only SMB3 could get that close. This is the most fun I've had in ages.

Is it your first Strategy RPG game?
If it is, I can see what you're saying. Strat games can have a way of taking over your life.
Comparing it to SMB3 though is foolish. NOTHING can compare to that. For ****'s sake, Mario3 had the entire world in unison chanting "MA-RI-O! MA-RI-O! MA-RI-O! MA-RI-O!".

I checked the one by Metrocenter and didn't see it.

I have to start over because on my first real fight, one of my guys died. And I don't want anyone dead. It's true, when they're gone, they're gone.
I got the first mission just fine but didn't know how to START the mission, so I kept going from pub to pub until I realized I had to go to the plains (like I was told to do).
Then I realized that for magic, if you are near the victim, YOU take damage too! Now I know how to use magic, items, and how to handle a fight, so next one will be better. I should have saved before the fight now I have to start over FROM SCRATCH. It's okay, though, I enjoyed the intro.
There's definitely a lot of thinking involved in this game. This is going to make me buy FFT for the PS1. Sigh

Don't worry about losing a character unless its a really important one. You can add to your roster all the time and there will always be some guys you never use much anyway.

I already turned off the GC, so I can't save anymore
Oh, well. I do want to see if I can go through without any deaths on my side, though Or is this not going to be possible? Kind of like Advance Wars?
BTW, has anyone gotten to the first mission, the weed picking mission? How many characters can you have? I had 3 and won but lost a guy. Can you have up to six? How do you select a fourth, fifth, and sixth? Marche and Montblanc were already selected but I couldn't figure out how to add a 2nd additional one so I made it do with 3.

It's a little overrated but it's certainly worth the price of admission.

Things I don't like:
The law/judge system. What a waste. I know it adds to the challenge, but it's a pain in the ass. I forgot to check the law on one battle and the main character got a red card and was sent to prison. The game was over that instant. Kind of pissed me off.
It's also harder to equip guys. I know you can check what armor/weapon goes with each character, but in the other version, you could highlight a person, and pick equip best, and you would buy any upgraded armor/weapons that were better than they had. If it's in this game, I've yet to find out how to do that.
Overall, it's great, though. I'm happy w/ the purchase.

Picked it up from Best Buy, bought it from EB, returned the BB copy to EB. I hate those stupid dimples on the box from the security case. Yes, i'm very picky...

So can anyone tell me if in the weed picking battle you can only choose one addl guy besides Montblanc and Marche? If you can have more, how do you choose more than 1?
