Can someone explain why FFT is so much more loved than FFTA?

There's more customization in FFT, the sprites look better, and the OST is better. The sprites in FFTA look clunky and too large (they look much, much better in FFTA2), the skills were more limited in FFTA and were kind of spread out throughout the game (FFTA2 made this a little better with crafting, by requiring you to choose between multiple items when receiving a good reagent), and the law system was really poorly implemented in FFTA - since it was dependent upon the calendar so you could easily manipulate it and just avoid fighting when difficult laws were enacted (FFTA2 fixed this by making the laws dependent upon the map and its unique challenges, although admittedly they made the punishment much less harsh).
The only thing I think FFTA did well was story. Everything new and unique that FFTA added - FFTA2 improved upon big time.
