Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles Revealed with New Trailer, Release Date

by


In simpler terms, the classic strategy RPG game “Final Fantasy Tactics” from the renowned franchise has been given a fresh update, as announced during Sony’s latest State of Play event. This updated version, titled “Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles,” will offer fans a revamped gaming experience. However, don’t worry if you prefer the original game; it too will be available, based on the War of the Lions translation. You can watch the debut trailer for “Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles” in the video provided above.

In the trailer, it’s clear that the remastered Final Fantasy Tactics boasts an obvious and pleasant visual overhaul. The characters are more defined, and the locations and environments have been refreshed too. This is particularly noticeable in the animations when characters use their abilities. Even though the original version remains classic, I don’t think anyone would complain about a graphical improvement.


Although viewing the characters in action offers the best perspective for noticing changes, you can also examine the revised user interface in the photos provided below. The design remains similar to the one that won your heart during its initial launch, and thus far, the minor enhancements and smoothness of the animations could elevate an already exceptional game even further.

Beyond its additional features, the enhanced version offers an optimized and updated user interface, along with various convenience enhancements. Notably, it includes a more accessible Squire mode, suitable for beginners. A key highlight is fully voiced dialogue, which adds depth to the already captivating narrative.




If you’d rather enjoy the classic version along with some enhancements such as auto-save, both options will be provided for you. The exciting part is that fans won’t have to wait too long to experience the new version. Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on September 30th.
