Which is harder

Which is hard in your opinion?

I think FFTA is harder because you can't harvest abilities and there are the annoying laws that are somewhat vague on what is forbidden.

I can't vote, but the laws aren't too vague - you can always see beforehand what it is you cannot use, and what you are recommended to do.

FFT is WAY harder than FFTA. Spell Casting times in particular make it difficult, and if a person is KO'ed and you leave them too long, you lose them forever! This isn't a problem with FFTA ;D

And like Lisa said, Laws aren't so hard really

However, in FFTA, if you do missions in the Jagd areas in FFTA, and your character dies and the mission ends, you DO lose them forever.

fft has harder bosses, but its still not all that hard. neither of them are. However, if i had to decide, i would say FFTA is harder.

ffta is harder, the laws would change your strategy before battle so you would need diff equipment to power over enemies besides your best equipment if the law forbids its use, besides fft becomes incredibly easy once u got orlandu..there was practically no difficulty level

Both have parts that are difficult if using the wrong setup.

However with proper planning any battle can be easy, you just have to make your tactical plan take advantage of your opponents weaknesses.

With that I don't feel it is right to say one or the other is harder, since difficulty is mostly dictated by your playstyle.

FFT is harder. I was amazed at how much harder it was when I bought it for PSP. Laws are irritating, but you can work around them quite easily. I had to train like MAD in FFT to stand a chance in the latter half of the game.
...there is also the point that the combos of jobs you can have in FFTA are far more potent than the ones you can get in FFT.

I thought Final Fantasy Tactics was harder. Training was a compulsory matter. And before i could reach Deep Dungeon, training was the most boring thing i had to do.

Sometimes, i attempt to kill all monsters but one, and trap it with my warriors, and leech experience from it, healing when its health got low. And to think it took and equally long time to train too.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance... I was thankful there was this thing called Laws. As one can view the laws beforehand, I could sometimes work with it, walking around areas until a profitable law showed up (E.G. A Black Mage in my party, and i walk around till a law that grants JP for Black Magic or something).

I found Final Fantasy Tactics to be harder then Advance. Tactics had a lot harder bosses in it which caused a lot of tedious training. Yes, the laws were annoying to deal with, but it wasn't very difficult. The battles were simple, all you had to worry about was going to jail, where you would only lose you character for a while. FFT's storyline was harder to follow as well
