Well I got this game a few weeks ago. I've done about 10 jobs already
and I have a question. Does the game ever become fun? So far I've been
bored out of my mind playing this. There doesn't seem to be much of a
storyline either.

Where's the thinking in this game? There's no story at all. You do one
job to the next which are quite similar. And the jobs themselves are not
that hard.

Advance Wars 2 and Fire Emblem are much better than this.

Well I really games like Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. I just find this
game pointless. It would probably be fun if there was a story.

Out of all three of thsoe, I'd probably rank FFTA as my favorite. It's not
about the story though, it's about the tactics. I can see why you might not
like it as much if having a strong storyline is important to you.

I agree with the original poster. FFTA is lacking something. This is
exactly the kind of game I love, but I don't love this game. I played
for many hours and then just lost interest. The battles were too
similar. The amount of horsing around you do to avoid the laws that
nerf your party just loses it's appeal. I tried just taking all
battles as they come, but that tends to stink when your party doesn't
have the equipment to cope with the laws. Sometimes a battle gets
really drawn out because the thing that the monsters are weakest
against it against the law.

What I think everybody ends up doing is creating a power team, with
some characters you always bring in, and a group of floaters who get
into about 50% of your battles. Then there are some laws under which
you just never fight. It's just too painful to bother, and the
consequences of blowing an assignment are not that bad compared to a
prison sentence.

I would say stick with Tactics Ogre. It's better than FFTA and
doesn't bust your chops with arbitrary laws. Also, I think the
promotions system is a lot more interesting than the one in FFTA is.
I would also say that both Advance Wars games and Fire Emblem are far
more challenging and interesting than FFTA. I played enough hours to
have got my money's worth out of FFTA, but I doubt I'll bother to
finish it.
