FFTA is probably one of the most complete examples of a tactical RPG you will ever find. Like most RPGs, the player is given a map to wander with towns to shop in and pubs to visit. The game features the return of Square’s infamous “Job System� in which characters can change from various classes (Knight, Black Mage, White Mage, Archer, etc…) in order to use/learn abilities. The game also features various “races� who excel in certain categories and have specific jobs available to them. Thus, keeping a diverse party of followers is a must for the myriad of different missions. All things said a done, there are upwards of 40 jobs (although some are admittedly more or less copies of one another).

The characters were all very well done, and original. The best thing about this game in my opinion are the characters, their stories and individual development. This game also offers some very memorable scenes as Ive already mentioned, and some very amusing scenes with some very amusing characters. Some RPG's never seem to shut up (in my opinion), but I didnt mind watching the scenes in this game. Though some were lengthy, they were all intriguing and entertaining. Theres not a whole lot of bonus things to do, such as minigames or review concept art. However, there are a ton of sidequests and little secrets to get you by; which is what I suspect to be the source of many rumors (revival of general leo, etc.).
