About Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Squaresoft brings its popular Final Fantasy franchise to the Game Boy Advance in the form of strategic warfare. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance trails the story of a young boy named Marche who is magically transported from his sleepy modern-time home to a strange kingdom where magic and adventure reign supreme.
Players control a set of troops who specialize in various fighting, healing, magic, and archery skills (or job classes). Strategically positioning characters on the battle map, and calculating offensive advances are the keys to success. Two players can battle and trade items with the aid of the GBA link cable.

It's interesting seeing this next to Final Fantasy IX in duels, since IX has that classic party structure while this one throws you into a whole roster of jobs and clans instead. I always end up voting for IX but I get why people compare them.

I only put maybe fifteen hours into it total, spread over months, but comparing it to Final Fantasy III on handheld, this one felt way more patient with the player. III throws you in and expects you to adapt fast, this one lets you build slowly.

The mission structure feels padded when you play it now, lots of small fetch style tasks between the actual story missions, and that drags the pacing compared to how tightly other entries are built.

las leyes tambien me sacaron de quicio pero el sistema de clases me hizo aguantar mucho mas de lo que pensaba...
SilentMaster
The clan and job system holds up well, but the story feels thin compared to other entries in the series.
IronRider
El sistema de clases me convenció, las leyes menos, y al final ni gano ni pierdo la discusión.

am I the only one who thinks its ranking is a bit generous for how repetitive the missions get after a while?
GlitchPilot
Le mot repetitive résume bien mon souvenir, sauf que je trouvais que ça marchait justement parce que chaque mission courte laissait le temps de digérer le système entre deux sessions.
DavidRider
tb me pasó algo similar, las leyes cambian sin avisar y arruinan la estrategia que llevabas preparada

anyone else notice how often it ends up in duels against much bigger names? feels like the ELO undersells how many people actually voted for it.
ArcadeHunter
Claro, porque el ELO nunca se equivoca, solo refleja perfectamente cuántos votantes tuvo cada duelo sin ningún sesgo posible.
