How to Get Map Symbols in FFTA

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is the second game released for the Final Fantasy Tactics series and the only game in the series released for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. The game features isometric strategy role-playing, with highly customizable character units available to recruit into your battle party. Several differences set the title apart from its PlayStation predecessor; differences include the use of chocobo-mounted "judges," who uphold laws during battles, and a map screen with locations that are placed by the player, who earns map symbols after completing specific missions.
