So much of modern gaming, and Final Fantasy in particular, wants to have its big blockbuster moment. It wants to walk the same halls as cinema or prestige TV series with massive fights, realistic CGI, and snappy dialogue. Final Fantasy 16, for example, so badly wanted to be like Game Of Thrones, but that’s not what Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles wants. Instead it embraces theater.
The original Final Fantasy Tactics first released on PS1 in 1997 and then received an upgrade in 2007 on PSP with Final Fantasy Tactics: War Of The Lions – with this newest version being based on that upgrade, but with further tweaks of its own to add to the mix. It all comes together to make Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles the best possible version of a rightly beloved entry in the legendary series.
