"Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is the strategy RPG I have been waiting for. I've been a Final Fantasy girlie ever since I discovered Final Fantasy VIII on my brother's PSX demo disk when I was a teenager. While I have loved, or found something to love, in every title since the original PlayStation era, this is my first time playing Tactics - a title widely considered among Final Fantasy diehards to be one of the franchise's best. With this new remaster, I now understand why."
"In the game, you play as Ramza Beoulve, the idealist son of a noble house known for producing great leaders. Throughout the game, Ramza's courage and ideals are tested as he struggles to do right by his people and his own heart. Final Fantasy Tactics has some of the most mature (if at times byzantine) storytelling I've seen in the series. It is a complicated tale of intrigue and political machinations, while also being a straightforward story about good versus evil and choosing to do the right thing in the face of overwhelming odds."
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a remastered strategy RPG that blends refreshed presentation with classic tactical depth. Players control Ramza Beoulve, an idealistic noble whose courage and principles are repeatedly tested amid war and political scheming. The narrative pairs intricate intrigue and machinations with a straightforward moral conflict about good versus evil, highlighting choices and sacrifice. The storytelling is mature and occasionally byzantine, rewarding attention to character motivations and context. The remaster clarifies complex systems and themes, making the experience approachable for newcomers while honoring longtime fans.
