Yeah, you have to get tactics for a console or even emulate it. The first battle is kind of bland because you don't really have any abilities yet. I couldn't even imagine playing it on a lunch break unless it was later on in the game. Battles generally take a long time. I would end up making Ramza a Warrior with Dual Wield from Ninja and Ignore Height from Dragoon, then give him an excalibur for +Haste and just go and woop on people in no time.

FF Tactics enemies also level up with your characters so the game is continually challenging.

This glitch only happened on my friends game but later on you come across a battlefield where he had to fight around 12 Monk enemies. Normally not that bad if there's a few of them but anytime you would attack one of them, two others would come over and chakra each other so they basically had almost a regen effect on.

Actually, I could usually get one battle done over the course of a 15 minute break. But then I got stuck on the map with the guillotine, and that battle's such bullshit that, when combined with all the other crap I hated (not seeing where exactly my units are going, waiting forever to input a command, random battles, isometric maps) made me stop playing the game. I tolerated that stuff to a point, but once I got stopped at that map, I pretty much had my full.

I'd give it a C, only because I'd like to think that buried somewhere in that whole mess is a compelling game.

That battle almost made me quit a few times. It's probably the second worst battle in the game after Velius. Holy shit I hate that one.
