It's a card game/builder game. Not really tactical but pretty close. You have many ways to level up your card characters - which you get by a somewhat roulette wheel thing.

This one is the closest I have seen to FFT in a free browser game.

These games aren't flashy or state of the art or anything. Pretty simple but stand out a bit from all the other millions that are cookie stamped.

Final Fantasy Tactics was one of my all time favourites, most played games. I have to get myself a reconditioned Playstation so I can revisit, as my old one has died a long time ago.
There was Tactics Ogre too - I lost that one but it too was the kind of tactic game I prefer.
Another was Shining Force - probably the first one out as this goes back years. I believe they have other sequels but none like the first, iirc.
Kingdom Hearts might be up your alley too. I played a demo of it on xBox a few weeks ago and my next purchase might be this one. (I may be wrong about this one, I went googling and didn't see what I recall the demo looked like).

this one looks about as close to FFT as anything I've seen. Not available yet but maybe worth watching for.
