What Made Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Work
Tactics Advance is the friendlier Tactics — five races, a job system with over thirty classes, and the law system, which bans a random action each battle and is the most divisive mechanic Square has shipped. Underneath the complaints it is an enormous, generous tactical RPG that will take a hundred hours.
