A recently released Square Enix game for PS5 is receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from players on the PS Store. Given that the game – a role-playing game or RPG – currently holds an 88 on Metacritic, placing it among 2025’s top-rated titles, this high praise isn’t entirely unexpected. However, the PlayStation Store reviews suggest this Square Enix RPG might even *deserve* a score higher than 88 on Metacritic.
This week’s major PS5 release is definitely Ghost of Yotei, but it probably won’t satisfy players looking for a true role-playing game. It includes some RPG features, but it isn’t a full-fledged RPG. Interestingly, a new RPG from Square Enix is currently rated two points higher than Sony’s new exclusive on Metacritic. So, if you’re looking for a new game, aren’t interested in Ghost of Yotei, and enjoy RPGs, then Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is worth checking out.
A Hit With PlayStation Fans
For anyone unfamiliar, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is an updated and expanded version of the 1997 tactical RPG, Final Fantasy Tactics. Originally released exclusively for the PlayStation 1, it’s frequently considered one of the greatest RPGs ever made. While it seems logical that a remake of a classic would be good, we’ve seen many, including Square Enix, stumble with what should be straightforward remasters. A recent example of this is Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles successfully updates a beloved classic for today’s players, all while remaining true to the elements that made the original so special and memorable. This is likely why it boasts a 4.84 out of 5 rating on the PlayStation Store, based on almost 1,000 user reviews.
Positive Reviews Elsewhere
The new Final Fantasy game isn’t only popular with PlayStation players. It’s receiving very positive feedback across multiple platforms. For instance, it has an 88% approval rating on Steam. Similarly, players on the Xbox Store are giving it almost perfect scores. The only exception is Metacritic, where user reviews are generally negative – something that’s common for most games.
With all of that in mind, players curious about this remastered classic can expect to pay $49.99 for the PS5 and PS4 versions. However, it’s worth noting that the game doesn’t include any special enhancements for the PlayStation 5 Pro, unlike many recent major releases.
With that covered, please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts in the comments below, or continue the discussion on the ComicBook Forum. We’re curious – what games have you been enjoying on your PS5?
