Some people also complain it is needlessly tedious due to some insane difficulty spikes It also changes story encounters to also be levelscaled (and even equipmentscaled) which is retarded and a huge turn-off for me. There is a pretty popular mod called FFT 1.3 which increases the difficulty and rebalances the game. There is a patch that fixes it to some extent
PSP version has much better translation but suffers from slowdowns. The game has levelscaling and i really hate levelscaling, but as far as i am informed, story encounters have a set level so i can live with it if the game is really good otherwise i suppose. I have only played Tactics Advance for a few hours and found it to be mediocre so my interest in playing the original dropped quite a bit, but as people often mention how much better it is than its successors, i am willing to give it a shot now. So i think its time for me to play one of the most appraised S-RPGs.
