25 years later, the best Final Fantasy spinoff still holds up

Final Fantasy is filled with dozens of beloved titles, many of which remain some of the best RPGs ever made. However, there’s one Final Fantasy spinoff that simply doesn’t get the due it deserves, especially in how it revolutionized tactical RPGs. Final Fantasy Tactics was first released on PlayStation in 1997 and at the time it was something wildly different for the franchise, a tough tactical RPG that tells an intensely thematic story dealing with classism, religious dogma, and political conspiracy. 25 years later, it still holds up as an all-timer.
