"You can find my thoughts on what I played of Final Fantasy Tactics- The Ivalice Chronicles recently behind closed doors at PAX West 2025, but a recent barrage of interviews with the development team has provided some more clues about what fans can expect from the overhaul. The game isn't out until September 30, but the director of the project has already been tipping his hand about some big questions I've had, including how the remaster approaches Final Fantasy Tactics' most broken characters."
"Every Final Fantasy has a Cid, and Final Fantasy Tactics' is by far the most broken. He joins your party late into the game and comes with a full suite of no charge time magic sword abilities that do incredible damage. He also arrives equipped with Excalibur, which auto-casts haste on the user. He's a wrecking ball that trivializes every fight, which is why I have a strict rule against ever using him."
The Ivalice Chronicles remaster preserves original mechanics and character strengths while updating presentation. Fans of Final Fantasy Tactics prioritize fidelity, balance, and the possibility of a sequel. No major changes were made to powerful unique characters or to jobs such as the arithmetician, keeping original class capabilities. Orlandeau, the Thunder God Cid, retains devastating no-charge time magic sword abilities and Excalibur's auto-haste, continuing to trivialize many battles. The remaster releases September 30, with interviews and previews revealing further implementation details.
