Evaluation

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles launched on September 30, 2025 as a reimagining of the classic tactical RPG, featuring new content, full voice acting in English and Japanese, and enhanced graphics. The only DLC available is the Complete Soundtrack, which was released on launch day — no additional DLC has been announced or listed as unreleased. Since launch, Square Enix has continued releasing patches: version 1.3.0 on October 29, 2025 addressed balance and bug fixes; version 1.4.0 on November 17, 2025 resolved voice and progression bugs; and version 1.5.0 on June 17, 2026 added quality-of-life features including a New Game+ mode and a Zodiac Compatibility system. These updates demonstrate ongoing polish and improvement, but do not constitute new story or expansion content, and Square Enix has made no announcements about upcoming DLC, expansions, or a content roadmap. There has been one major content release (the launch itself) and no announced future content. The developer's communication has been limited to patch notes with no hints of additional content in the pipeline. The game appears to have shipped as a complete, self-contained product.

About this game

Ivalice—a kingdom blessed by the light of the gods and ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after her defeat to Ordallia in the Fifty Years' War, the king succumbed to malady, leaving a mere boy of two to ascend the throne.

Whoever was named regent would rule in truth, and thus emerged two rival candidates: dukes Goltanna and Larg, whose deeds during the war had earned them great renown. Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion were destined to clash, and the resulting conflict would come to be known as the War of the Lions.

Against this backdrop appear Ramza, third son of House Beoulve, one of Ivalice's leading military families, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised amongst nobles. As they endeavor to chart a course through this tumultuous age, a mighty current draws them ever closer to the abyss.

Lead your party in exhilarating encounters where strategic positioning and forward planning determine the outcome. Use the varied terrain of 3D battlefields to your advantage, skillfully manipulate the turn order, and victory will be yours for the taking.

Combine a wide variety of jobs and abilities to craft your very own strategies.

As your party members grow, they will gain access to more jobs, each with its own unique abilities. Once learned, abilities can be used even after changing to another job. With over 20 jobs to master—including white mage, black mage, dragoon, and many others from the FINAL FANTASY series—and hundreds of abilities to learn, you have the freedom to experiment and discover the combinations that best suit your party. Chocobos and other creatures can also be tamed and led into battle.

With improved graphics, fully voiced dialogue, and refined gameplay, the enhanced version provides the perfect way to immerse yourself in the world of Ivalice. Along with the fine-tuning of several features and battle mechanics, the inclusion of the more accessible "Squire" difficulty setting makes the enhanced version an excellent starting point for first-time players.

The classic version unites the graphics and gameplay of the original 1997 version with the renowned War of the Lions translation for a unique way to experience this beloved title.

The Enhanced version of the game supports a wide variety of controller options.

It also supports keyboard and mouse controls.

The Classic version of the game only supports XInput controllers.

Keyboard controls are also supported, but mouse controls are not supported.
