I loved FFT due to the Job System. But on top of that, the story. It had hands-down the best story I'd seen in an RPG in ages. Loads of politics, backstabbings, in-depth story, etc. Plus, I love the whole setting. I mean c'mon, the game is supposed to be a historian looking over clues he collected, proving that Ramza (hero) was a good guy and not the heretic that the church tagged him as.
Tactics Advance was no fun. It lacked the same sort of job system and had you, like, gather abilities off of weapons and armor. Kinda FFIX-ish, and I really hated the system. Mogs were turned into fucked up rabbits and the story focused on some kids in elementary school. It's hard to make a game dark in setting when the main characters are about half my age. I mean come on.
Also, you might tag Tactics Ogre (great game by the way. Played the SNES version) as the defining game in the genre, but if I'm not mistaken, FF Tactics got loads more attention. I dunno about it being a rip-off, though.
But anyhow, this'd be left best without a sequel. Unless Squenix could prove that they have the skill to pull off an honorable sequel. I'd rather not like to see its name get dragged through the mud.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
