No no, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is nothing like Golden Sun, or most other RPGs. I wasn't very impressed with Golden Sun either, but I'm a little obsessed with FFTA, but a lot of that was from addiction to the Final Fantasy Tactics on PS-1. If I were you, and you alone, I would borrow it first before you buy it Brest. Just in case you might not like it. :)

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and I can honestly say that Advance Wars is the better game. When it comes to portable strategy games, I'm not sure any game can compare to Advance Wars on the GBA. I'm a HUGE Final Fantasy Tactics fan, but FFTA simply isn't as fun as Advance Wars. Maybe it'll get better.

I just saw a commercial for Super Mario Bros. 3 for GBA. I dont know how impressive NES graphics would look on the GBA, but it's still bound to be fun.
On the advice of you guys, imma gonna get Advanced Wars, and if I like it, AW2.
