Final Fantasy Tactics Advance Looms Large

Thanks to IGN Pocket for their hands-on impressions of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, in which they discuss the tactical RPG GameBoy Advance title due out September 8th, and mention "The release of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is pretty historical, as it's the first [U.S.] Square game released on a Nintendo system since the company decided to pull the plug on Nintendo development back in the N64 days." Also discussed is the shrewd opening act, where there are "...a group of kids on a school's playground during wintertime, as a snowball fight breaks out... it's a very clever implementation of a training mission." Nintendo are pushing FFTA with an enticing bundle deal, although final English-language reviews, excepting this 'well-researched' one, are still pending.

I'm not sure if its a good or bad thing that Nintendos handheld market sports more RPG type games than there flagship systems have in quite some time. Other than the NES and SNES everything after has been lacking in this Genre yet the gameboy incarnates have always kept putting out these games.
