What is Final Fantasy Tactics?
Assuming you have been living under a rock for over a decade, here is a summary of the game from Wikipedia:
quote:
Final Fantasy Tactics (ファイナルファンタジータクティクス Fainaru Fantajī Takutikusu?) is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation video game console. It is the first game of the Final Fantasy Tactics series and was released in Japan in June 1997 and in the United States in January 1998. The game combines thematic elements of the Final Fantasy video game series with a game engine and battle system unlike those previously seen in the franchise. In contrast to other 32-bit era Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy Tactics uses a 3D, isometric, rotatable playing field, with bitmap sprite characters.[4]
Final Fantasy Tactics is set in a fictional medieval-inspired kingdom called Ivalice created by Yasumi Matsuno. The game's story follows Ramza Beoulve, a highborn cadet who finds himself thrust into the middle of an intricate military conflict known as The Lion War, where two opposing noble factions are coveting the throne of the kingdom. As the story progresses, Ramza and his allies discover a sinister plot behind the war.

What is Final Fantasy Tactics Rebirth?
Here is how the creators, Nexus Studios describe it:
quote:
Final Fantasy Tactics: Rebirth (FFT: Rebirth) is a modification for Final Fantasy Tactics which features a rebalancing of almost everything in the game, in particular classes but also items, abilities, characters, random encounters, and storyline battles.
In short
For details about what was changed in the mod, visit the ModDB features page.
The FFT: Rebirth page went down part way through our run, but it's back up as of today. You can find the features page here.
Why do you have so many spoilers in this LP?
I assume since the game has been out for so long, people already know the details of the plot. I'm interested in exploring how Matsuno organized it and what its themes are. When someone does a literary analysis of a novel they don't put big spoiler tags around it, and I'm not going to do that here. Besides, if you want a spoiler free version I suggest checking out an LP of the original unmodded version of the game.
Is this like FFT 1.3?
FFT 1.3 is a hardtype modification of the game, and while there are many people who are diehard fans of that mod, I personally think that like a lot of hardtype mods it only really appeals to people who know every little detail of the game so they min/max like crazy, and to masochists. Rebirth is not a hardtype modification and it feels a lot more like vanilla FFT, just with a bit of polish applied to make it shine.
On the other hand there is a "FFT 1.3 Content" mod that includes the 1.3 changes without the hardtype difficulty. You can find information about both mods here:

Is this like LFT?
I don't know much about LFT but it seems to have a similar scope and purpose in being a game rebalance but not a hardtype.
