Earlier this year, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. It is a modernization of Final Fantasy Tactics, which was released for PlayStation in 1998 (or 1997 for Japanese audiences). Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles promises to remain faithful to the timeless story while also providing enhanced and all-new features. Today, at Gamescom, Square Enix showcased a gameplay trailer for the upcoming title. (For those interested to learn more about the narrative, here is a story trailer.) Today’s trailer showcases the game’s moment-to-moment action and the genre-defining tactical RPG experience of the original game. It also showed some of the new updates, including enriched visuals, UX updates, and a selection of the game’s voice acting.
The trailer below offers a glimpse into the tactical combat and unit management systems featured in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. Players can quickly learn about the game’s robust job system, in-depth ability progression, and deep character systems. In battle, players must traverse a tile-based battlefield to find advantageous positioning. There is a wide range of melee attacks, spells, and more to help players find victory. Allies and their job development is key, but allies who die in battle will stay that way if help doesn’t reach them in time…
In a press release, Square Enix describes Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles:
Hailed as one of gaming’s greatest stories, players will step into the Kingdom of Ivalice—a medieval world steeped in political conflict— where players will uncover the truth behind the young noble Ramza Beoulve, whose role on history’s stage has been buried from view. The dramatic tale of ambition, betrayal, and honour will come to life with an updated and enriched script with fully voiced dialogue, alongside improved graphics that bring a new level of immersion and playability to the battlefield. Additionally, the enhanced version brings quality-of-life updates like new difficulties, a revamped UI, auto save, and more that make the game more accessible to newcomers. The game features strategic, turn-based combat and an elaborate character progression system that makes every battle exhilarating and filled with unexpected twists.
Developed and published by Square Enix, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will be released on September 30 for PC via Steam (Steam Deck compatible), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch 2, Switch, and Xbox Series.
