One of the most (if not THE most) important things to keep in mind is that you have to open up your range as the number of players at the table is reduced.

As far as table mechanics go, you're essentially down to playing as if you were in a single-table tournament, but the difference here is that you're likely much more emotionally invested in the outcome because of the amount of time and effort it has taken to get to the final table in the first place. For some players, this makes them more likely to try and play it safe which means that they're actually playing scared. There is a huge difference between playing to win and playing not to lose.

Playing to win doesn't mean playing recklessly, but it does mean being willing to take calculated risks. For example, folding AJo to a pre-flop all-in early in the tournament is likely the best move. However, when you're getting eaten alive at the FT by the blinds and antes, the game is down to 4-5 players and everyone is short-stacked, that AJo starts looking like a much stronger hand and in nearly all cases you should be getting your chips in the middle.
