A lot of it has to do with the story and tone of the game. As Brad from 4playerpodcast put it, "FFT begins when your childhood friend who you thought was dead kidnaps the princess you're protecting and starts a war. FFTA begins with a snowball fight." That's not an entirely fair comparison to make. A game's start doesn't have to immediately drop you into the central conflict of the story; it's not at all uncommon to spend time introducing the world and its characters so that there is an established baseline for daily life before the central conflict shows up and disrupts that. Making the comparison between the overall tones and stories? Sure (I won't try, having not played FFT myself, but sure). But comparing just the opening scenes like that? That doesn't really tell you anything. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. <cite>adjl posted [p:903930938] in No, I just...
