From the official description:
In Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions you can use the touch screen interface to fine-tune the control of the game. The complex tactical game can be effortlessly and intuitively controlled by tapping units and menus. Instead of switching fixed map views - you can now rotate, move and change the size of maps by sliding and pinching. The loading times have also improved and certain cut scenes can be skipped so the player can dive straight into the battles.
The game boasts a rich storyline, as fans of the Final Fantsy series have come to expect. The game also carries on the familiar job system of the series, enhanced further by the new job creation feature. The Charge Time Battle (CTB) system played on a 3D field in real time, further intensifies the strategy involved in the battles of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions.
