"In the original Final Fantasy Tactics, these are essentially mini-visual novels, almost like choose-your-own-adventure stories supported by audio and pictures. There are four different Sound Novels that are unlocked when you obtain specific artefacts, and while none are vital to the main narrative, they help enrich the world of Ivalice and dive into its lore and history. These were unfortunately completely cut from the English release, likely because of the extra time and workload it would have taken to localize."
"The Ivalice Chronicles is in an interesting place, somewhere between a remaster and remake of the beloved Final Fantasy Tactics - a game that already had a remake on PSP. But with the game's creator, Yasumi Matsuno, attached to the project, The Ivalice Chronicles is looking to be the definitive version of the strategy RPG. A recent update on the game's site makes the extensive amount of changes coming even clearer."
The Ivalice Chronicles sits between a remaster and remake of Final Fantasy Tactics with creator Yasumi Matsuno involved, positioning the project as a definitive version. A game update outlines numerous changes including an overhauled interface and a new tactical battle view. For the first time, the original game’s four Sound Novels — mini-visual novels unlocked by artefacts, supported by audio and images — will be fully localized after having been cut from the English release. The entire script has been rewritten to support voice acting, and new events and battle dialogue have been added to enrich Ivalice’s lore and presentation.
