Sep 24, 2025Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles improves upon the original in nearly every way. It truly is the ultimate version of Final Fantasy Tactics, and an amazing adventure from start to finish.

Oct 6, 2025Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a great way to revisit the classic tactical game in Square Enix's franchise. Faithful to the original release but truly worried about offering a comfortable experience for a new generation, the title remains a tactical RPG of the highest quality and a must-play for fans of the genre.

Oct 10, 2025For fans of turn-based strategy or tactical RPG games, Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles will certainly become a benchmark for the genre. This game was a masterpiece when it was released nearly three decades ago, and it’s even better now thanks to all the new features added.

Sep 24, 2025Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles proves that the original game is still a strong video game. Adding voice acting makes it almost a whole different experience.
-
Oct 14, 2025A relatively light but high-quality tactics game with an original job system that still remains fresh many years since the original release.

Oct 20, 2025Not much tweaking was necessary when bringing back this classic, but the addition of high-quality voice acting elevates Final Fantasy Tactics to another level entirely, with a narrative that engages from beginning to end. Coupled with some of the finest character customisation in the series, this is an essential play for fans that have fallen out of love with Final Fantasy following the latest numbered entries.

Sep 24, 2025What can I say? Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles remains, in essence, Final Fantasy Tactics. In that sense, the game is, by its mere existence, still one of the most striking adventures of the medium. There are indeed some substantial additions here in the interface, in quality of life, and even in the gameplay, but can these really justify a purchase at this price? We’ll let you answer that question, but know that, while in some respects this re-release proves particularly respectful of the source material, it also shows some baffling shortcomings. Where is the re-orchestration of the soundtrack? Where are the content additions from the War of the Lions version? Where are the adjustments for better camera angles? Certainly, The Ivalice Chronicles is without a doubt the most pleasant version of the game to play in 2025, but it also could (and should) have been much more.
