I think I can basically guess the majority opinion on this one, but (besides the story aspect) I'd want to know what causes people to prefer FFT over FFTA (or if you prefer FFTA over FFT, feel free to explain that too).

Perhaps I simply didn't get far enough, and perhaps I simply didn't have enough patience, but I just wasn't able to get engrossed in FFT and I was disappointed that that seemingly caused me to miss out on a generally well-regarded experience. Are the mechanics solid enough that you think I should try to soldier on through despite not liking the story (at least so far)?
Gta 5 real life graphics mod. On the flip side, I wasn't really that into the story of FFTA either (I basically felt like Marche came across as a villain protagonist even if he was sort of well-intentioned), but I quite liked the turn-based tactical mechanics of that game even if the exploration was really constrained and you were only afforded a handful of battlefields selectable from a world map. In fact, my liking of the mechanics and the seeming consensus of FFT being the 'better game' is what caused me to seek out and try FFT in the first place, but my distaste for its story stopped me dead in my tracks. IMO, the story was too much too fast, and I just didn't care enough about these characters yet to want to accept all the fictional factions and settings and history and stuff that they were throwing around. (Same goes for other RPG or RPG-esque games, as rambling off a whole bunch of gibberish fictional character or town names before I care is one of the fastest ways to lose my interest even if the world-building and gameplay is great.)

Items you will need
The Playstation role playing game Final Fantasy Tactics features a huge cast of characters who will join the party on their epic quest, as well as several hidden characters who aren't part of the main storyline. The Temple Knight Beowulf is one of the hidden characters who will lend his sword arm to your party's cause, if you can locate him by following these steps.
Play through the game until part-way through Chapter Four, when the party kills the Lucavi demon named Adramelk in a battle at Igros Castle.
Leave Igros Castle and walk to the Machine City Goug, which will initiate a cut-scene where the party is shown a large metal relic that has been excavated out of the earth.
Travel to the Coal City Goland and enter the bar there. Check out the various rumors to be heard there until the party is told about ghost and monsters hiding out in the mines.
Head off to the city called Lesalia and listen to the rumors in the bar there about the monsters in the mines.
Attempt to leave Lesalia and the Temple Knight Beowulf will stop the party and ask to join them in their quest. Agree to let him join and Beowulf will become a playable character.
Tips
The engineer Mustadio must be alive and in your party when you go to the Machine City Goug or the initial cut-scene will not play.
