Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Sorti le 14 février 2003, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance transpose l’univers de la célèbre franchise sur Game Boy Advance avec une approche stratégique. Le scénario suit un jeune garçon nommé Marche, transporté de son monde contemporain paisible vers un royaume fantastique où règnent la magie et l’aventure. Le joueur dirige une troupe de combattants aux compétences variées – guerriers, soigneurs, mages, archers – répartis en classes de personnages. Le positionnement sur la carte et le calcul des offensives sont essentiels à la réussite. Un mode multijoueur permet à deux joueurs de s’affronter ou d’échanger des objets via le câble link de la GBA.
Le jeu mêle jeu de rôle, stratégie au tour par tour et tactique. Développé par Square Product Development Division 4, il a été publié par Nintendo, Square Enix et Square. Initialement disponible sur Game Boy Advance, il a ensuite été proposé sur Wii U.
L’agrégateur de notes lui attribue une moyenne de 85,92. La presse a salué le titre : GBA Central le considère comme « Simply the best the GBA has offered so far », tandis que G4 TV souligne qu’une fois maîtrisé, le jeu se révèle flexible et gratifiant. Du côté des joueurs, les avis sont partagés : certains regrettent un certain recul par rapport au premier Final Fantasy Tactics, mais beaucoup en gardent un souvenir ému, à l’image de ce joueur pour qui il s’agissait de son premier jeu favori. D’autres évoquent une certaine confusion quant aux quêtes secondaires.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Simply the best the GBA has offered so far. With an engaging plot, a deep gameplay system that allows for as much customisation as any handheld RPG, and a length that is ridiculously good value, there really is no excuse not to own this game. »
« Once you get a firm grasp on gameplay, you'll be playing a flexible and rewarding game. With its unobtrusive story and mission-based structure, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is perfect for gaming on the go. »
« The business, and if you even pretend to like RPGs in their purest form, you have to play it. [Oct 2003, p.51] »
« The big improvement over the PlayStation game is the laws that govern each battlefield... It helps diversify the battles quite a bit and keeps things interesting. »
« There are easily 150 hours of game play here, and instead of the game becoming old and monotonous, it actually becomes more addictive as you play. I've never played a more in-depth GBA title. [Oct 2003, p.139] »
« Not only is this game incredibly deep, but for a strategy fan like myself, it is addictive enough to destroy your social life. [Sept 2003, p.124] »
« Fails to live up to its Playstation counter-part, though only by a smidgen. With a compelling storyline, incredibly deep customizing system, superb graphics and grand musical score, FFTA is a game worth picking up… if you are a fan of strategy RPGs. »
« Perhaps the single major flaw that stops Final Fantasy Tactics Advance from scoring a straight 10/10 is it's shop/inventory system. Purchasing new weapons and armor for your clan is basically a trial and error experience until you know who can use what type of weapon. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This was my first favorite video game ever, others call it a downgrade from Final Fantasy Tactics, and while that may be true in some aspects i really liked having different races and a more portable pick up and play game-play loop. Battles can feel a little slow and restrictive due to the law system but its a turn based tactics game, you either love them or hate them, and FFTA is a great spot to jump into the genre. I found the story to be unique and interesting in a good way. You're kind of the villain of the story, but its also ones perspective: Some want to live in a dream world where their life doesn't ****, when the main character wants to return to reality. Its unfortunate that this game is trapped on the GBA, in my most recent play-through via an emulator i lost my entire progress right before the final battle so that hurt. I still own my game cartridge but no longer own the proper hardware </3 Overall a great game on the GBA that shines in the shadow of the JRPG giant's catalogue of side projects. Highly Recommend »
« been confused on how to get cid and completing all of the sidequest, stuck on a loop though, oh and all i can say is chad marche »
« For me, the best of tactics, sweet and adult story, excellent gameplay and infinite possibilities! I wish for a remaster... »
« I wish I could go back in time and get the Judge and Rabbit guy on my team, I needed like 1 more quest for them which required a link to my friend, and I'll never get that chance now. Legendary game. »
« A very pretty turn-based strategy game set within the world of the early Final Fantasy series. Basically it's an RPG that concentrates on combat rather than storytelling and exploration which makes it a little lacking in depth, but it's a nicely chilled out bit of adventuring that's probably not for RPG purists. »
« I have so much fun every time I play this game. Everything about it, from the story to the gameplay, is just amazing. I enjoyed every moment while playing this game »
« worth it and glad to play this game again. so much memories and nostalgia within this spin off game in the series. »
« Todo iba bien hasta que me dí cuenta que la historia es testimonial y de que las normas de los jueces son un gran inconveniente para el progreso satisfactorio del jugador. Me dió tanta pereza que lo dejé a la mitad. »
