FINAL FANTASY TACTICS – The Ivalice Chronicles Review

Review

Oct 14, 2025

I had this sort of a blank spot on what I like to call my “Strategy RPG (SRPG) history”: Final Fantasy Tactics. I played a bit of it back in the PlayStation 1 days but soft locked myself in a battle. Fast forward many years and I finally reached the ending in “War of the Lions” — the PSP re-release with added content and cinematics. I didn’t think much of it back then, it was a very good SRPG, but as someone who grew up playing PC games, especially Heroes of Might & Magic, it wasn’t my favorite “flavor” so to speak. It took me almost 20 years, and another part re-release, part remaster “Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles”, to finally understand how brilliant it is.
