Our story begins soon after a young boy named Marche moves to the country town of St. Ivalice.
Marche’s family has had a difficult past, and all he can do to adjust to the newfound country life is to depend on his new friends: Mewt, a quiet and timid boy who often gets picked on; and Ritz, a stellar student whose strong-willed nature has made her unpopular at school.
One day, the three of them come across an ancient magical book, and St. Ivalice changes forever...
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is an RPG with the emphasis firmly on fighting. Battles are turn-based, meaning each character in your party takes turns to move and attack with magic or weapons. But battles are not simply free-for-alls. Ivalice is governed by laws which must be adhered to or you will be banished to prison. Each battle is presided over by a judge, so there's little chance to 'get away with it'.
Each character is also able to take jobs, in which they can specialise in certain skills and increase their experience. Jobs are dependent on a character's abilities. For instance, the magical Nu Mou people are adept at being White Mages or Beastmasters, while the tough Bangaa make better Warriors. To advance through the plot of the game, you'll need to join a clan and take part in missions. There are a total of 200 missions to complete, so you'll be playing for a long time to come.
Please note: Communication features of the original game, such as Multi-Pak Link and Single Pak Link, are not available in the Wii U Virtual Console version. This game supports one player on Wii U Virtual Console.
