Sep 24, 2025The story for FF Tactics remained entertaining throughout. As a first-time player, it zigged when I thought it would zag and I will always appreciate when stories in RPGs like this can feel somewhat grounded with a focus on politics, inter-personal relationships and plenty of time for the characters to sit and reflect on the events in-game. Yes, there are still plenty of crystals, magic and other FF staples but Tactics feels like a cut above most other JRPG stories and is now one of my favorites in the Final Fantasy series.

Oct 9, 2025Ivalice Chronicles will undoubtedly delight its long-time fans by offering them a redesigned, enhanced and clearly improved version of the 1997 game. On the other hand, new players will likely be frustrated by the game's overall sluggishness, whose gameplay, although rich, does not compare to tactical games such as Fire Emblem or Valkyria Chronicles, which are much more fluid and fast-paced. We therefore advise those less patient to try it in easy mode in order to enjoy the storyline.
