I’ve been playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance off and on for the past few weeks. It’s not the PSone version that I have a hankering for, but I figure it’ll serve as a decent introduction to the gameplay for me. What’s keeping me from really diving into it isn’t the battle or mission systems–it’s the equipment management system.

I like that when you buy equipment, it displays for you which character class and race can use what, but what makes it frustrating is that I can’t see how the equipment I’m looking at in the shop compares to what I already have in my inventory. Unless I either commit my entire character roster’s stock to memory, write it all out separately, or go through the monotony of switching back and forth between the shop and my characters…how do I know if what I’m looking at is better or worse than what I have? Is there in fact a way, but I’m just not looking at it correctly? Maybe this is something that will be addressed in the DS version coming out soon…
