... The FF Team has never written a game with a better story or deeper characters than FF Tactics.

I gotta disagree. I paid attention to the entire storyline of FFT and it was very clever yet not deep, it used uncommon words in unnecessarily complicated sentences to portray the story as this deep and complicated storyline. But in reality all it was was just something that someone with a thesaurus sat through and tried their best to take a boring story and make it sound as epic as possible by trying to make it sound as deep as possible. I deeply regret playing FFT, especially since I made it a point to do everything in the game instead of just breezing through it. I also gave the GBA sequel FFTA a chance and played it from beginning to end...after that whenever anything is announced related to the FFT series, I say, no thanks...no thanks...
