A snowball fight and an old book start it all. In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Square's 2003 Game Boy Advance strategy RPG, a group of kids from the town of St. Ivalice are pulled into a fantasy world after reading a magical tome, and Marche, the main character, searches for a way home while others prefer to stay.
Battles take place on isometric grids and are fought by a clan of up to six units drawn from five races: Humans, Bangaa, Nu Mou, Viera and Moogles, each with its own jobs. Abilities are learned from equipment: wearing a weapon and earning AP from battles eventually makes its skill permanent. Every fight also has Laws enforced by Judges, such as bans on certain attacks or elements, and breaking one earns a penalty card or a trip to jail. With around 300 missions and a large job system, it is one of the deepest games on the GBA. Nintendo published it in North America.
Tips for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Check the active Laws before every battle, and use Law cards to cancel ones that would cripple your strategy.
Keep your units equipped with weapons that teach new abilities until each skill is mastered.
Send spare clan members on dispatch missions to earn rewards without fighting yourself.
