Oft-forgotten classic strategy title reinvents Final Fantasy Tactics, but has its own grind to contend with.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the Gameboy Advance isn't merely a sequel to Playstation's Final Fantasy Tactics, but a complete revamp of the earlier game's mechanics. Where, in FFT, it was easy to assemble a group of characters that could steamroll the later game, in FFTA, each new fight brings its own rules requiring new strategies and character pairings.
Once the main plot ends, though, there is a long, long grind to the true ending that connects this game to its sequel, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance A2, developed for the Nintendo DS.Read full review

Listing did not state GBA game is a knockoff. Game does work, but does not sit flush in the GBA system, and the top corner is loose compared to the rest of the cartridge.

Best Tactics Game of my childhood!
Very compelling story, and really nice graphics from its time. Now that I got a hold of an Authentic Mint condition, it is now sitting like a king on my glass shelf! Very happy purchased!

the best god damn game i've ever played
Released in 2003, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance takes the core concept from the PlayStation version that IGN called "Worse than the Holocaust" and improves it in basically every way. The snowball fight level in the beginning of the game seats it in reality, until your character finds a magic book and decides to cast a spell, transporting them into the world of Final Fantasy. From there, you join a clan and go on an adventure that can only be called "Fantastic". Sadly, this game was released on an advertising budget of $5 so they only sold 2 copies, forcing Squaresoft to get sold to the developers of Dragon Warrior on the NES in exchange for 8 dollars and a Dragon Quest slime plushie. When asked about this purchase, Enix president Yasuhiro Fukushima commented, "外国人犬は地獄で焼く必要があります", which means "I only bought this company so I could own one of the copies of Final Fantasy Tactics." Because only 2 copies of the game were ever released, every copy on eBay is a Chinese fake, and the profits from their sales are used to sell cigarettes to children and take American jobs. Despite this, the game is so good that I would take a 60 year old sandwich peddler's job and sell cigarettes to 20 kids for just 5 minutes of gameplay. I rate this game 5 out of 5 stars.Read full review

FFTA is a great game!!!
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a great game. I loved playing it when I was younger, and it brings back a lot of nostalgia playing it again.

Amazing game!
I’ve put more time into this game than most other games I’ve played. The battle system is fun and there’s endless character/job customizing. If you like turn based tactical rpgs, this one is for you!

Good product on time
My game came very quickly and in perfect working order. I still have the users old data saved just because they put so much time into it, feels like a waste to destroy it.

Not a genuine GBA cartridge; no Gameboy ...
Not a genuine GBA cartridge; no Gameboy logo when launching the game and the game hitches each time I save the game. That said, the game still works fine.

Final Fantasy meets Neverending Story
This game is superb! Sublime if you love tactical RPG and just bliss if you love movies like The Neverending Story. Play it for its amazing battles, breath taking music and 16 bit pixel art that stands the test of time. Buy it and never sell it so our copies go up in value, lol. I kid. The repro market is ruining our hobby... Read full review

One of the best GBA games ever made
This game is seriously one of the best GBA games ever made. I had it in 2005 and lost my copy. It's Square Enix, so you know it's going to have the Final Fantasy characters you know.
