"Before Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles brought the strategy RPG classic to modern platforms, there was the War of the Lions remaster for the PlayStation Portable. That version had a ton of bonus features, from extra job classes and characters to additional cutscenes and even a multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, all of that bonus content was cut from the current remaster, but dedicated fans are painstakingly trying to add it back in with mods."
"The 2007 version of Final Fantasy Tactics, which is also the one available on iOS and Android, added a lot. There were guest characters Balthier from Final Fantasy XII and Luso from Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, as well as Dark Knight and Onion Knight job classes that let generic recruits rival the power of named companions. There was also a wireless multiplayer mode that let players team up or compete for treasure."
"The multiplayer mode might require deeper tinkering to bring it to The Ivalice Chronicles, but there are already mods adding the rest. In fact, fans like NexusMods user DanaCrysalis have already gone and added other tweaks and bonus features as well, including the Red and Blue Mage job classes from the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance spin-off. Qualify-of-life fixes, meanwhile, include a way to stop all of the monsters in your party, including Chocobos, from endlessly filling up your roster with eggs."
War of the Lions for PSP included extra job classes, guest characters, additional cutscenes, and a wireless multiplayer mode. The recent Ivalice Chronicles remaster cut that bonus content. Fans are creating mods to restore job classes, guest characters, and other features, with PC players benefiting from existing work. NexusMods contributors added Red and Blue Mage classes, quality-of-life fixes like preventing monsters and Chocobos from filling rosters with eggs, and tougher random map encounters. Multiplayer restoration may require deeper tinkering. Consoles cannot use these fan mods, and the publisher considered additions but did not fully restore them.
