Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Customer Review: My favorite GBA game by far
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not the most hardcore of gamers; it is something I do when I am sick and can't leave the bed. But something about the FF series is really fun to me. I don't get as "into" these games as many fans of FF do, but I can still appreciate them for what they are, and this title is no exception.
This title was different for me, though, because when I got it, I could NOT put it down. The graphics, the music, the game play -- very, very entertaining and charming. These FF games always have a great message behind them as well. I would recommend this game to ANYONE.
Customer Review: Short, To-The-Point Reviews: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Summary: 5 Stars
The game is fun. Very fun. Very much like the original Tactics for the PSone (although not quite as good). Takes place in the world of Ivalice (Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII). Easily over 100+ hours of gameplay in this one. Tons of different classes, Summons and all the good FF stuff... The only down side I can think of is that it gets a little repetitive towards the end with the same old routine.Customer Review: Fun Game!

This is definitely a wonderful game for the diehard Final Fantasy Fan. I personally think this is better than the original Final Fantasy Tactics. The species that inhabit the country of Ivalice--Humans, Moogles, Vieras, Nu Mou, and Bangaa--are extremely fun to play with, the environment is spectacular, and the main characters, although weak in the beginning, get extremely fun to beat enemies with as time passes into the game. If you are a Final Fantasy fan, someone looking for something new to play that is a lot of fun, or just someone looking for an RPG that's not too easy, but not impossible, then this is the perfect game for you!
Customer Review: if you like fun (and you know you do), give this a try

Now before you dismiss this review as a cry for attention by some fanboy just because i give it a five out of five, I'd like to first say that this is only my second Final fantasy experience (the other being FFX), and I only gave it a 5/5 because I genuinely loved playing this game. I found this game quite different from final fantasy X, first of all because it is a (somewhat) tactical game. What makes this game tactical is that battles are played on a map where you move your characters around and attack with consideration of direction, range, and properties of the land that you and your target stand on.
There are many classes of characters to choose from, each having their own moveset, which is aquired by wearing the appropriate gear and weapons . Abilities learned from gear and weapons can be mastered by gaining AP (ability points) at the end of each battle. These classes and their different play styles keep gameplay fresh and interesting, which is a good thing because battling is pretty much all you will be doing. Gameplay is overall extremely satisfying for both role-playing and strategy fans alike, and is great if played for 15-20 minute bursts each time. The ease of making this a handheld game comes from the ability to save at any time. This is all great stuff and definately worth picking up if you are into this sort of stuff. And you will definately get your money's worth, because there are aroud 300 missions, and each battle will take around 20 minutes to complete. Granted, a lot of them are dispatch missions (you dont actually fight), but the time you will spend with this game is pretty impressive.
That is not to say that this game is without faults. All complaints are minor, but story is sort of shallow and forgettable, but this is not such a bad thing if you only play a little at a time. Also, dealing with a law system is very annoying when some battles forbid the basic command of "fight". Make a wrong move and your player gets sent to jail. It is a huge annoyance and should not have been part of the game. Lastly, the menus are a little overcomplicated and difficult, especially buying and equipping items, but once you play long enough, you'll get used to it.
So this is definately a very fun game for your Gameboy advance that will keep you busy for months to come, and even though you will find some minor flaws, it is still one of the best tactical rpgs you will find, good enough in fact, to deserve a 5/5.
Customer Review: Great Game Almost No Flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't speak for everyone but I loved this game. If you have played other final fantasy games you may have trouble adjusting to the consept of moving your charecters. For players new to the Final Fantasy series this is an exelent one to start on. There is a knew plot to this one you start in a town called Ivalice at a school having a snow ball fight. Here i must warn you, one of the flaws of this game is the LONG tutorial but it is moderatly important. When the snowball fight is done theres a medium sized intro where the world changes.
The satistics of the game are exelent there are five races, 23 jobs and a good plot to back it up. only pokemons good reputation gives it points above this game. Still it is not an M rated game so dont expect epic battle scenes or swearing. It more than satesfied my needs and i am hard to please. Hope this reveiw helped.
