Longtime fans of the original strategy RPG don't need to worry about Square Enix making changes to beloved characters in Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, as the old "system works so well" already.
Director Kazutoyo Maehiro and co-director Ayako Yokoyama confirm as much in a recent interview with GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2025. "We haven't made any changes to characters that were powerful," explains Maehiro. "And similarly, not just for the unique characters, but for jobs such as the arithmetician, we haven't made any major changes." The developers didn't feel the need to, as they didn't want to "break" things.
