Confirmed is that they'll be going through 2000 years of history so you get to play like you did in the original one. Also that they'll be the insanity effects.

Finally playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSX... fucking wonderful game. I didn't realize that I was facing off against permadeath with these little guys, though - saved after losing almost everyone /staybrutal #keepitsick
Job system is great here... don't know why subsequent tactical RPGs haven't used this exact schema???
Make another one of these, Square... what the fuck are you waiting for?

Oh, I'm very familiar with FFTA... I've dropped crazy hours into that game. I actually own two copies... main character level-maxed. I pick it up once every few months and attempt to get closer to completing every mission... it's extremely difficult, although I can easily destroy any enemy in the game. Just getting the right mission items becomes impossible if you haven't plotted the entire thing out ahead of time.
I have my saved game ripped from the cartridge and backed up onto CD-R for the inevitable tragedy of battery failure
I wasn't very into FFTA2 at all, sadly... I felt like it was very locked-down, the joy of customizing characters and planning my grind out was all but absent.
Apparently the PSP port of Tactics is out for iOS, and Android in Japanese - there's a new mobile game coming based on Tactics, but it looks like a shitty pay-to-win half-port or something. Depressing.

Mario sunshine is great. Fuck the haters.

General
None of these bugs or limits.
Multiple ports.
Mouse wheel support.
Caret for text editing.
No CPU-based speed (animations play at a constant speed regardless of the computer).
Mouse input works like modern systems.
Human-readable savegame format.
No savegame limit.
Painless customizability with modular rulesets in human-readable format.
Full Unicode support.
Localized in many more languages.
Take screenshots in-game.
Standalone "Skirmish" style custom Battlescape mission generator.
Customizable keyboard shortcuts.
Native support for in-game music in many different file formats (including OGG, MP3, etc.)
A built-in and extendable selection of optional display filters.
Geoscape
Since there's no 80 item limit, items in crafts count towards your Base Stores to prevent exploiting infinite storage. This also lets you freely move items between bases and crafts without storage issues.
Each radar facility contributes to the detection check, so having multiple Small Radar Systems and/or Large Radar Systems does improve your chances. The Hyperwave Decoder still makes all other facilities obsolete though since it has a 100% detection chance.
The aircraft phase order when returning to base is: Repairing, Rearming, Refueling.
Purchase/Recruit screens have a column for current storage.
Aircraft weapons may be unequipped.
Can cancel out of selecting armor for soldiers.
Selling aircraft automatically unequips all their contents.
No gap in Australasia zone.
Soldiers can be reordered in aircraft.
Aircraft and Bases can be renamed.
Potential radar coverage will be displayed when placing a new base, and can be toggled at any time with the press of a button.
Aircraft will use proper great circle calculations when travelling to waypoints/targets.
Night/Day line is dithered slightly.
Mouse Wheel will zoom in and out.
UFOPaedia articles regarding Aircraft weapons have flavour text (unused strings existed in the original were implemented)
Battlescape
Right-click opens doors.
Right-click will cancel a unit's movement, and will cause projectiles to "skip" their flightpaths, instantly hitting their target.
Objects, fire and smoke keeps animating while walking or scrolling the screen.
Pathfinding is a different algorithm: it will always find a solution, if there is one, no matter how difficult.
AI of aliens is more cunning - Impossible to 100% exactly mimic original AI.
Waypoint-based projectiles have no upward limit on the number of waypoints they may use.
The CTRL key may be used to "force fire" when no line of sight is available.
The inventories of mind controlled, non-terrorist aliens may be accessed.
The limit on units has been removed, allowing 23 or more soldiers to assault alien bases.
Unit spawning function has been improved - no more large units stuck in walls.
Units holding two single-handed weapons will have the fact represented on their sprite.
Soldier sprites will have their hair and skin recolored to represent their race.
Optional features
While the above differences are hardcoded, there are also various new "non-vanilla" features you can choose to enable. See the Customizing section for more information.

So this is on PSN as of today. I still haven't finished the first one! But I downloaded it anyway because I heard it's the best one. So far: sharper graphics, WAY better controls (the first one has left stick as look and right as move--UNCHANGEABLE ), better atmosphere, etc. Definitely a big step up, and a great jumping on point because it seems like the story is totally unconnected to part one. The first one is still really good though, and both are scarier than every other current gen game combined. GET SPOOKED

Anyone getting Metro Last Light?
After thoroughly enjoying Sleeping Dogs, I am curious about Remember Me, too. Gaming needs more beat 'em ups and locales other than NYC but you know that game is going to bomb and be half off within a month. Love Euro jank games.
