FFT was a better game, but that doesn't subtract from the fact that FFTA was fun. I suppose the changes don't appeal to everyone...

Meh, I liked both games. A lot of people only hate FFTA because they played FFT first and expected a game just as good. But just because FFT is better doesn't mean FFTA is a bad game.

No, it's the judge system and limiting jobs to races that makes the game poor. It makes multiclassing dulled. For example, what if I wanted an Archer or a Hunter who could speed himself up to run away from people who try to get close in and hurt me, as well as do more damage? With FFT:A, there is no race combination that will allow you to do this. I will admit that is from being spoiled by FFT, but I still say that being able to make combinations out of every class should be possible.

But what really gets me is the law system. Laws are RIDICULOUS. Some of them are so ridiculous and can cripple a good setup. The whole magic of jobs is that you can create brand new parties that beat enemies in different ways. Plus, have you ever gotten the rule "No damage"? You have to freaking poison the enemy to death.

The clan territory wars are also kinda whack because you get to a point where trying to keep all your territory takes precedence over doing missions, which makes the whole game run way too slow.

I'm an FFT purist too..
FFTA actually was a bad game, though.
Everything Osmose said plus a horribly simple story and a bastardization of Ivalice(gay dog people) makes it bad.

Yeah, I'll admit that the story was pretty horrible in FFTA... getting stuck in a video game world? Come on, that's just plain stupid. Plus some of the secret characters can't change jobs, which makes Babus really suck ***. He's kinda like a sage/time mage, but with less attacks.
As for the laws, they  never bugged me very much because there are so many ways to get around them. The only ones that annoyed me were those damn copycat and damage to animal ones...  :(

I would have to say that while FFTA had some nostalgic qualities, it is a bit of a letdown... Not a complete failure, but not as great as it could have been. Nevertheless, It'll find it's place right between Final Fantasy Mystic quest, and Final Fantasy X-2.

You know what, this is ****ing stupid.

Why is it that every few years, a NEW and IMPROVED game system comes out?

I have to admit it: Playing Zelda: Majora's Mask would be HEAVEN on Wii, but, why stop making games for Gameboy Advance, and why are all of you sounding like it's gone forever? You still have it! It's not like you'll get picked on for playing it. The most recent game system I own, in fact, IS Gameboy Advance. My brother has an X-box, but I took one look at it and had no clue what to do. Nope, no Gameboy Advance SP either. I might get a DS and maybe Wii (To play the Zelda games, of course), but otherwise, I'm happy with my GBA and N64.

If you all say DS is an improved version of GBA, so be it. I LOVE DS very much, but why bring out all these new game systems at once?

I know if I get Wii and DS, I probably wont get any other game system that comes out for years.

Because.. that's how life is? Everything evolves. It's always been like that, and I doubt it will change.

Yeah, Gameboy advance was great... but I mainly liked it because it looked so cool and could survive no end of ill treatment, such as dropping, water and sand. I never liked the SP.

Fire emblem, Pokemon ruby, FF Dawn of souls, Metal slug ^.^ And FF4.
