i totally agree with you. I've always held Final Fantasy Tactics in very high esteem. I was an adult when I played it, and this game seemed geared specifically towards my age group. no suggestive clothing or lines, so the story holds a deep and mature meaning, not just drool factor like some other Final Fantasies that will remain nameless. I did think that the story was far too involved for kids to enjoy much, and this game seems more geared towards them. I find it a little bit harder, though, since I can't rotate the battlefield so I can't see the positions of the characters as well.

in summation:
GBA=mostly system for kids.
FFT=too slow moving for kids, not enough flashiness for those not looking for an overt visually reinforcing game.
FFTA=more visual reinforcement. rather akin to a rat in a Skinner's Box...

in my opinion, FFT was a much better game. many will disagree with my opinion and my analysis, but i'm entitled to my opinions too ya know. However, everybody's opinion is equally as important as mine, I just liked the other game better.
