the DS has large robots too! but still, it's very much so a different kind of game. think of it as FFT is to the mainline.
You could be forgiven for forgetting EF has robots entirely (the PCs themselves are people fighting on foot), so yeah, it's very different in style as well as obviously its gameplay (SRPG vs. traditional RPG in the vein of Valkyrie Profile).
