How far have you played through one of them? It involves a sort of meta strategy, in that you have to decide who to send into battle not with the end of the current scenario in mind, but with future scenarios in mind. Sure you don't have the same number of options, but in a sense that reduces FFTA to "you'll basically win no matter what just by doing whatever you want at the enemy" in the later stages of the game when everyone's leveled up to these awesome unstoppable tanks, like ALL Final Fantasy games. Though, admittedly, I tend to also play Fire Emblem by levelling up a few omni warriors and sending them with a couple groups here and there.
You know what's weird? Why did they call the DS game "Advance Wars DS" instead of "DS Wars"? I checked the history of the series, they generally take the name of the system it's on followed by "Wars" like "Gameboy Wars" or "Famicom Wars".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
