    The return of Final Fantasy Tactics could be better, but the game keeps being awesome.

    The Ivalice Chronicles isn’t the perfect version of Final Fantasy Tactics I can imagine in my head, but it’s unquestionably the best version of the one that actually exists. The Ivalice Chronicles, like its protagonist Ramza Beoulve, stands athwart history a flawed but uncompromising messenger with one simple plea: “Go back and play one of the best games ever made.”

    This is a phenomenally absorbing strategy game, and still an unforgiving one at times. Even for a series that loves breaking its own rules and flouting expectations with each mainline installment, Tactics is also a deeply unconventional Final Fantasy game. It’s also one that any fan of the series ought to experience, and The Ivalice Chronicles is the best possible way to do so.

    For the last couple of years, I’ve been itching to fill the strategy RPG-sized hole left behind by Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Fire Emblem Engage was everything but, the Advance Wars remakes couldn’t hold me. Triangle Strategy was fine but lacked any real narrative hook to keep me playing. But with this remake, my itch for some grid-based tactical action has finally been well and thoroughly scratched. Sometimes, it’s the old that can best satisfy a taste for something new.
