<div class="IPBDescription">Turn based RPGish strat</div> Tactics arena online is somewhat just the Final Fantasy Tactics without the story, just battle and gain units. It looks pretty good except the fact that theres only 12 arenas to play in , so it's usually full.

    Wasn't there an older, demo-ish version of this called Tactics Core? I vaguely recall something along those lines.

    It seems interesting enough, in a time waster sort of way. A cut above your standard online Flash game.

    the graphics and landscapes look a little dull and unimaginative... kinda reminds me of diablo ^^;
    I'm so used FFTA's non-flat landscapes, cool looking characters and stuff it makes TAO look a bit ick <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Looks and style aside, What does it play like? is there any diversity/tactical use to terrain? =o

    Basicly knights are the front line hardcore fighters, 80% block in the front, 40% on the sides( I think) and non in the back

    Assassins, afaik, are basicly magic hunters, use them to hunt down enemy casters since magic cannot be blocked except by barriers

    Scout - Basic ranged archer form the looks of it, -may- be another good magic hunter

    Cleric - Heals all units

    Pyro - Can cast fire magic
    More units can be found at : <a href='http://www.digisonline.com/tactics/human/' target='_blank'>http://www.digisonline.com/tactics/human/</a>
    Also, donating unlocks new units that you can be awarded and new things you can use.
    Mainly what comes down to though, imo , is taking out mages/barriers first so you don't have to worry about them in the near future.

    Also I think they are planning to adding terrain instead of it beng a grey surface -.- but meh, it kills time for me while I wait for my FFXI account.

    Far better is <b>Vantage Master V2/Online</b>, made by Falcom. You have a large number of avatars with different abilities, and you have to summon creatures to help you fight battles. You get the added bonus of free online play (you have to connect between people and challenge each other). Translated in bad English. I like it quite a bit.

    I don't know how they manage to give this away for free.

    Also, if other people are willing to play Vantage Master Online, I'd like to do some dueling.

    oh wow!!! I like the look of vantage =D

    I tried the demo and with each unit only having 1 kind of attack, stupidly high numbers for health/damage, unable to change your facings at the end of your move (not a major problem but something I like in FFTA), seemingly no chance of missing and a lot of units that seem to do pretty much the same thing I wasn't impressed. It's amazing for something made in flash but as a game I find it kinda lacking standing next to FFTA (I'd say FFT but I've never played it ^^; )

    I'll grab Vantage and see what I think of it first before I go duelling anyone ^~
