Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Lets just call this official)

I'm getting it for sure... I have a GBA player only because of this game...

I think I'll be buying this game the day it comes out, even though I don't own a GBA or a GC with a GBA Player. I'm a huge fan of SRPGs/SLGs.

Day one for me no doubt.

In the last five years, I'm not sure there if there is any game I've been more excited about.

Losing the random battles isn't a big deal, unless it seriously inhibits your ability to custimize your characters (ie. not enough battles to gain exp/jp to flesh out your characters).

I'm definately getting this... again, but this time in English ;)

This is one of the reasons I got my GBA GameCube player too, the others would be Fire Emblem and Sword of Mana :)

Nintendo Power is running a bundle on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, I'm thinking about getting it since I'm not currently subscribed to them... unless someone else is running a sweet preorder deal ;)

I have been playing Tactics Ogre on my GBA for some time. Anyone know how the two stack up against each other. I believe Atlus did the tactics thig before square.

The battle system in both games are similar, but FFT (and I'm sure FFTA though I haven't played it yet) has more in-depth and controlable job system, which I personally enjoy.

FFT is also cool if you're a Final Fantasy fan for all the series references (chocobos!).

I really like the clan system in the game. However, the law system is really trite and stupid, and adds nothing to the game. I like the whimsical nature of the game, but those of you are expecting FFT part 2 are going to be dissapointed.

:( I hope not, but at least there are other SRPGs this summer and fall if FFTA fails to satisfy fans of the genre. Disgaea and Onimusha Tactics, anyone?

Heh, I'm going to hijack this thread into a Fire Emblem propaganda thread.

If customizing your units are you favorite parts of strategy rpgs, I wouldn't recommend getting Onimusha tactics or fire emblem. The characters are pretty much set into their specific roles.
