I've been asking myself this question for quite a while now, both Tactics games are amazing and have a great storyline with fun and addictive gameplay. But even thought their gameplay may be a bit similar, their storylines and backgrounds are very different.

FF Tactics: The War of the Lions (For PSP): This was the original FF Tactics released for the PS1, this is a port created for PSP. This FF Tactics shows a darker side to Ivalice's history and is more detailed into the past of Ivalice and its conflicts. The storyline is intriguing since it takes us to a darker age in which Ivalice was facing inner conflicts with its government and aristocracy, it remains one of the most influential FF titles to date.

FF Tactics Advance (For GBA): This is an amazing Tactics game which introduces us to new races never before seen in Ivalice (before in the original Tactics), the storyline revolves around a boy who is transported to Ivalice (no spoilers) and begins his adventure to seek answers to what has occured to his original home and a way to return there. This FF Tactics really absorbed me into its gameplay because of the diverse races, now you could have members in your "clan" that are another race besides humans (and each race has their "Class" selection, this allows you to explore new boundaries in each race to master the ultimate team). This FF Tactics is less dark than the original and allowed children (and adults alike) to explore the wonderful world of Ivalice (but unlike the original Tactics also revolved less around the history and past-events of the land of Ivalice).

I would love to hear your opinions, comments, and votes on this, speak your mind (but be open-minded to the thoughts and theories of others as well), so here's the question: Which do you think is better?

I'll go for FFTA just because it had a lot more depth. It just seemed like a deeper game...nothing against FFT:WOTL, but I just think the original FFT was a little less well-rounded.

I'm tempted to shoot down the above posters claims but I'll ignore it and man up.

Tactics story and depth are pretty much legendary these days. The only thing that Advance had over it was the different races, which is making Advance 2 look a lot more appealing.

Tactics (PS1) has been my favorite game since one of my good friends in middle school showed it to me. (Some 8 years ago.) Having grown up with it, I was rather turned off by the whole "new races" and add-ins that FFTA had to offer. Seeing as War of the Lions is pretty much a port with renamed job classes, added cut-scenes, and one new job class, I'm going to say that, out of the options given, War of the Lions would be the better of the two.

i haven played the PSP ver, but if it was the PS1 port...

I think WOTL has more jobs, and nicer storyline (more matured based), but honestly, FFTA really brings you into the story more.. making it feels as if you ARE in Ivalice itself..

well, FFTA2 fixes all these... i think FFTA2 has all of it, its the best Tactics in my opinion..

I agree, FFTA2 combines the best of both worlds, It's really an amazing game that delves the player right into the gameplay and you feel like you're in the story itself.

Never played WoTL, but FFTA is pretty much my favorite game ever. I really want to play the PSP one, though.
