False.
Yggdra Union has among the best, if not the best, soundtracks on the GBA, and perhaps any handheld today. The variation of tracks and quality thereof is unrivaled, especially on this platform.

In any case, now we have an official thread. Pulled quotes about this awesome!

It's very complicated, but in a good way. |

| VsPluckyDuck wrote: | | As for the card system, it's not really about cards. If you called them "Tactics" or "Spirits" or something, it probably wouldn't even be of mention. They're not really used for attacking anyways--they are more like tactics for what you can undertake in a given turn of battle, like how far you can move, which attacks will be the strongest and what skills can be used. |
| NR wrote: | I think the order of GBA SRPGs goes like this:
Yggdra Union > Fire Emblem & Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones > Super Robot Taisen 2 > Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis & FFTA (tied kinda) > Super Robot Taisen > Onimusha Tactics (shudder). |
| Cloudcent wrote: | | Based on what's been said, I'll give Yggdra another run. I actually enjoyed Riviera on a 'pick up every few weeks and play for an hour or two' kind of level, so I have nothing against the company making it. |
| VsPluckyDuck wrote: | The nice thing about the game is that the system is so dang complicated, but it introduces something new each battle or so, so the learning curve is nice and careful. The tutorial battles are completely different things from the battles once you hit number 4 or 5. I only just reached the point where you can get skills, but I still only have characters wielding three of the seven or eight types of weapons, and apparently some characters can summon creatures later on--haven't seen any of that yet. The current battle only just introduced some interesting terrain changes by effects.
This game reminds me very strongly of the original Ogre Battle, with a chock load more strategy and customization, plus the ability to affect battles more directly than you would in that game. |
Jes!

Someone tell me how to pronounce Yggdra before I sound like a dummy at Gamestop.

"Bu-bees."
Or rather, "Eeg-druh." Depends what part of the country you're in.

Eeg-drah is probably right if it's shortened from Yggdrasil.

Because the way the "best of the year" voting system works. More people have played FFV thus it gets more votes than a better, lesser played game.
