Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles Brings Back the 1997 Classic to Modern Times
Final Fantasy Tactics is a tactical RPG developed by Square Enix and is among the most well-received titles from the developer. It was initially released in 1997 for the PlayStation 1 and later rereleased on the PSP in 2007 with the War of the Lions translation, which improved the dialogues and further refined the story.
The game is set in the fictional kingdom of Ivalice, where the king has passed away, leaving his infant as his only heir. In a bid to become the regent, two dukes, Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion, clash against each other. In the backdrop of this conflict enters the protagonist Ramza, who is from a noble lineage, and his friend Delita, a commoner, who influence how everything pans out.
Players control Ramza and a team of his companions who can be assigned different Jobs. Each Job comes with a particular role and a set of abilities. By controlling them in tactical turn-based battles across different terrains, they can win the fights and continue on the adventure.
Gamers who missed out on experiencing the original title or just want to replay the exciting political storyline may want to grab a copy of The Ivalice Chronicles when it releases on September 30, 2025.
