This game is not as good as the other one.
Tactics Advance < Tactics.
The story is deeper and darker in Tactics than it is in this game. I'm not saying that Advance isn't dark or anything (there's a certain hint of that throughout the plot though), but overall Tactics is much easier to understand and has an easier learning curve.
The job system in Advance isn't as developed as the one in Tactics and it's frustrating trying to get a ton of items just to learn certain limited abilities.
Add that to the law system, and well...you know. Although 'law' is an interesting concept and is definitely enjoyable to play through, it becomes somewhat of a crutch for the game at times, whereas the gameplay in Tactics was pretty much perfect.

I found Tactics Advance to be an enjoyable game. I loved the 'laws', it allowed more strategy to the mix. However, I did find the story lacking in places.
Tactics I find difficult, but that's good in my opinion. I'm only on Chapter 2 on WotL and I can already tell that the story is gonna be deep. I do find switching between jobs and assigning abilities quite tedious at times but not to a critical fault.

Thoughts?
You forgot the gayest feature of the game: you have to find equipment that sucks ass to learn the strongest abilities in the game that take for fucking ever to learn. D :
Well, Marche and Mewt were pretty gay features of the game, but they didn't hinder my ability to enjoy the game
I play tactics advance every now and then, but I'm in complete agreement of Tactics > Tactics advance.
Really, the only good thing they did in Tactics Advance was implement different races and you got EXP for any actions that you took that followed through.

Tactics is better than Advanced BUT Advanced is a GREAT game to play and really shouldn't be compared too much with FFT. FFTA is a different story and has a way different feel than FFT.
Also, I kinda enjoyed the law system... as crazy as it sounds. I liked the added level of difficulty it brought with it.
