Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles has beat sales expectations of the original's director and sold over 1 million copies before the end of 2025, and the remake's director says its positive reception could lead to future updates.
If you ask me – aside from Donkey Kong Bananza – no game enamored me quite as much in 2025 as Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. Sure, it's technically a game from 1997, but the improvements and enhancements made to it, namely an incredible cast of voice actors bringing the characters to life, as well as a fully remade version of the classic PS1 game once thought lost, made for what is undeniably one of the best remakes of 2025 – and I'd argue, one of the Best Games of 2025.
