I haven't played either game in a very long time. But overall I would have to agree with you, especially on Tactics--I believe that game was the better of the two.
However, in both games it was difficult to train. I found it annoying when all you ran into was battles at one time, and then another time you just couldn't run into any battles at all. This was especially hard in Tactics...XP
Still, FF Tactics was a better game in terms of gameplay. Storyline-wise, both games were excellent.
