It's called FF Tactics because the main bulk of the game is turn-based moving & fighting. Not like the turn-based stuff in FFX, it's more like a game of chess. The game is a series of battles interspersed with cut-scenes showing plot developments...
The environments are real-time 3D whilst the characters are sprites and it's presented in an isometric perspective.
*** SPOILER WARNING ***
There is also a cameo from a 'flower girl', plus you can gain Cloud as an extra character!

Similar to all FF's you have HP and MP and gain EXP after a battle, but you also gain JP (Job Points). Each character has a job (or class, e.g. Knight, Mage and so on) and can learn certain abilites by spending JP earned. Each character can also change jobs, thus you can become a Mage that has, say, some of a Ninja's abilities - it's really quite flexible and involving.
The music is great, the graphics are pretty good and the story is great... but one last thing - it's hard... very hard, i.e. I still haven't finished it and I bought it on NTSC import 2 and a half years ago!!!
Hope this helps!
