About

Experience the captivating story of ambition, deceit, and honor as it unfolds through a revised and expanded script complete with fully spoken dialogue. Furthermore, the game’s graphics have been upgraded to offer an increased level of immersion and gameplay on the battlefield. This updated version also offers quality-of-life improvements such as new difficulty levels, a redesigned user interface, auto save functionality, and more, making the game more inviting to newcomers. The game combines strategic, turn-based combat with an intricate character progression system that keeps each battle engaging and full of unpredictable twists.

In this solo game, you’ll venture into the medieval realm of Ivalice, a kingdom torn by internal strife. You’ll take on the role of Ramza Beoulve, a nobleman whose part in history has been obscured, and help uncover his true story. This game is renowned for its compelling narrative, considered one of the best in gaming history.

In this tale, Akihiko Yoshida has created stunning new illustrations featuring Ramza and Delita, our central characters. The art captures the intricate bond between these two figures, showing moments of unity as they stand side by side for mutual defense, or instances where they tread separate paths. Overlooking them are Ovelia and Alma, individuals with close connections to both Ramza and Delita, gazing thoughtfully into the future, hinting at the destiny that may lie ahead for all four characters.

In the upcoming game titled “Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles,” some esteemed developers from the original version are set to rejoin the team. Among them are Kazutoyo Maehiro (taking on the role of director), Hiroshi Minagawa (responsible for art direction), and Yasumi Matsuno (contributing as the scriptwriter, scenario writer, and editor).

As a fan excited about the upcoming release, let me share that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will offer two distinct versions for gamers like us. The upgraded version offers a revamped experience with fully-voiced characters, an immersive graphical overhaul, and a user-friendly interface – making it the ideal introduction to the iconic tactical RPG for those who are new to this classic game. On the other hand, the original version harks back to the 1997 release of Final Fantasy Tactics, offering a pure nostalgic experience for those craving the genuine feel of the game’s roots.

The voice actors for the game “Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles” boast an illustrious ensemble, comprising both fresh and familiar faces from the “Final Fantasy” series. Among them are Joe Pitts (Ramza), Gregg Lowe (Delita), Hannah Melbourn (Agrias), Timothy Watson (Cidolfus), Harry McEntire (Mustadio), and Ben Starr (Dycedarg). Additionally, you’ll find cameos by Cody Christian (Cloud Strife from the “Final Fantasy VII Remake” series) and Briana White (Aerith Gainsborough from the “Final Fantasy VII Remake” series).
