Secondo me questo è il gioco che serve a scardinare quella natura edgy che per via di sto mondo, in quel periodo di formazione che possiamo identificare come il periodo delle medie, tende a formarsi. Le tematiche che vengono fuori sia dalla trama principale, sia che dalle sottotrame che contengono tanti temi abbozzati ma che possono contenere semi su cui poter costruire un ottimo discorso, sono fondamentali per acquisire sempre più consapevolezza sia per il proprio benessere che per il bene dell'altro.
A prescindere da tutto questo mi preme comunque sottolineare quanto il titolo nel suo gameplay sia ottimamente bilanciato, è un'ottima esperienza ancora oggi con tutti gli standard del caso.
Non arrivo purtroppo al capolavoro perché per me la definizione di capolavoro coincide con la spiegazione approfondita di queste tematiche e le implicazioni delle loro criticità nella contemporaneità, ma è un mio banale preconcetto. Come opera di formazione questo final fantasy per me rappresenta un titolo che metterei sulla punta dell'iceberg.

Tactics Advance means so much to me and more, it's one of my favorite games of all time and one I've come back to again and again since childhood to present-day. I feel like this game doesn't particularly excel in anything particular; its story is okay, its characters are pretty alright, the level design is a bit bland, and its combat never reaches the highs of its predecessor while also being bogged down by the Law system which only gets more strict as you progress.

And yet there's magic in this game that is hard to find anywhere else. The world of Ivalice is so dear to me, it's a fantasy world unlike any other with unique races that you can actually play as (Looking at you, FFXII. Yes, I'm still mad) and has such a fantastical and grand, yet grounded, setting. What FFTA lacks in writing depth, it makes up for in the ways you can imagine your clan members behaving on the battlefield or between missions. I'm completely positive that the role-playing this game offers planted the seed for me loving making OCs and fantasy worlds as I grew up and through adulthood.

While not a particularly complex or deep story, it shares one with surprisingly mature themes that are relevant for its younger audience. Themes of escapism, of grief and healing, of family abuse, of learning to own up to your own mistaken beliefs, of realizing you need to grow and be better; FFTA presents topics that everyone will experience as an adult and presents it to kids in a memorable and wondrous fashion. Tactics fans were rightfully disappointed with this entry being free from the political intrigue and philosophical prose set by the first game, but I think FFTA holds its own unique candle well beside its older brother.

I love this game with my whole heart, and I continue to look at all my art and creative work and see it rooted in my love for Tactics Advance. Similar to Explorers of Sky, I love to replay this game at least once a year and am currently on an all-Bangaa run! One day, I hope we can return to Ivalice and all its glory, but until then I take the world head on with all the wonderful memories Tactics Advance gave me.

Sure, the characters and story are both pretty uninteresting, and the battles can take forever with all the unnecessary title cards and entrances. However, it was just fun to play. Learning abilities through weapons actually made it interesting and worthwhile to take an otherwise uninteresting mission for the rewards, location placement gave the sense that you were building the world around you, the class system and equipment trees were fun, and the overall tactical gameplay was enjoyable. It's not a short game, and it could certainly do with some QOL changes, but I had a blast with this one!

Remarkable rpg, well made rpg portable totale.
Gameplay : solid. FFTA is highly rewarding. Once you learn the basics you can start Building your team and set your strategies. Experimentation is the key-word to get the best from this game. Fun to master too.
Story: Storytelling is not as strong as its gameplay. However, the title deals with escapism, friendship, family issues and self awareness.
Soundtrack: well executed although repetitive.
Conclusion : definitely worth your time. They should make a tabletop game out of It.

A fun game but ultimately a shell of what its big brother was. The only real strategizing, for me anyway, was trying to work around the law system. If laws were in my favor, most fights were just 'move your unit and kill' with little thought beyond that.

Having different jobs based on character race is a really sharp idea, but humans have so many more options than every other alternative that I feel like it's still unbalanced. Tactics 1 is the GOAT, this is just a solid game to play while you're passively watching youtube videos.

¿Qué decir de Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? Pues... Que es absolutamente maravilloso. Es una apuesta más "infantil", más cercana al público joven al género de los SJRPG, pero manteniendo toda la esencia y la magia del clásico de PS1.
Con una banda sonora absolutamente sublime compuesta por el ya recurrente en esta franquicia Hitoshi Sakimoto, y producido/co-dirigido por el creador de este gran mundo llamado Ivalice, Yasumi Matsuno.
Los personajes derrochan carisma y personalidad y, a pesar de que la trama es más "cuento de hadas", vemos una evolución y un progreso en cada uno de ellos. Además, en este juego fue presentado el mejor moguri de la historia de FF, Montblanc, y ya sólo por eso se merece notaza
