The player assembles a clan of characters, and controls their actions over grid-like battlefields. A spin-off of the Final Fantasy series, the game shares several traits with 1997’s Final Fantasy Tactics, although it is not a direct sequel. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance ( ファイナルファンタジータクティクスアドバンス Fainaru Fantajī Takutikusu Adobansu) is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
