I just bought Final Fantasy Tactics from Ebay (my first auction win ever!), and I was wondering. I have read the reviews of it on TFF, and so far I think I will like it. That being said...

Is there anything I should know about the game before actually playing it? My copy won't arrive until Sept. 2-8, so I want to know all I can about the game before it gets here.

This is the first time I have actually done this. Normally I just read all of the reviews that the Internet can offer. I wanted to get a more personal opinion on it. Reviews can be manufactured by company's relatives/friends/employees, so I want to know what actual fans think of the game.

Also, I wouldn't object to any tips/tricks.
