Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the only games in the series where you control your own characters to fight with, and your own destiny.  While the graphics are of a down fall, the games sets it self up to benefit the gamer.  The ability to be a master in every job signifintly makes it easier to beat the game.  Some jobs are better than others.  I prefer Monks, knights, and Lancers.  There are five chapters  to the game, and while you advance the story you will want to level up fast to hurry up and speed thrpugh the game to see its ending.  Even though you can not interact with the ending after the credits what happens will not surprise anybody at all.  The game should take about 40 hours of playing time and is pretty good compared to most of the games in the series.
