Wow! I bought FFTA for GameBoyAdvance yesterday and have been playing it for a little while; it's pretty awesome. Especially with the GameBoy Player.
What's really nifty is the huge variety of jobs; and the fact that no one race can master them all! Which makes monkeying around with different jobs and races more varied and more fun (it's harder to find that ridiculously ultimate combo when not all your characters can even accheive it)
And it's a good deal easier than FFT; which some may not appreciate. There is no wait for spellcasting! It just happens!
And job levels have been done away with; it's just purely amount of abilities now. For instance, a Human can be a Ninja after he's mastered 2 Thief abilities.
And abilities are earned from equipped gear, like in Final Fantasy IX. It makes for an interesting hybrid of abilities systems.
I would suggest to all GBA owners to purchase this game. If you don't own a GBA, buy one when you can(or a GBPlayer if you own a GameCube).

Suggestion on the GBA: Yes, the SP has backlighting. Yes, the SP has a rechargeable battery. But no, AA batteries are not expensive at all, and no, you can't use traditional headphones on the SP without an adaptor.
In other words, save yourself 30 dollars and lots of time spent recharging the stupid lithium battery and buy the original GBA.
But of course the GBPlayer is superior to all. Especially with a Hori Digital Pad (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-2-1D-1-gf-4-14.html).
