Remakes and remasters have become increasingly commonplace, but one upcoming release has caught my attention. During the PlayStation State of Play event, Square Enix revealed plans to revisit a classic 1997 strategy RPG installment from its renowned franchise. The updated Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles is scheduled to arrive on September 25, 2025, for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles.

This revamped version of the turn-based strategy game incorporates several notable enhancements. The updated game features new graphics, a revamped user interface, and voiced dialogue. Additionally, it includes quality-of-life improvements, such as a more accessible Squire difficulty level, making it easier for newcomers to join in. However, for those seeking a nostalgic experience or an added challenge, the option to revert to the original graphics, gameplay, and English translation is available. The classic version also benefits from modern upgrades, including an auto-save system.

As a fan who has spent countless hours playing the Fire Emblem series, I have always been interested in exploring Final Fantasy Tactics. Whether you are a newcomer like myself or already familiar with the intricacies of Tactics, this fall presents an excellent opportunity to experience the game, making it an ideal time to check it out.
