"Final Fantasy Tactics is one of those rare games that quite literally defined a whole genre - an essential text for the strategy RPG at large. But it's also one of most beloved, and shockingly topical, stories ever told through a game. Recreating something with that legacy is no small task, but The Ivalice Chronicles development team is made up of veterans that worked on the original, and they're hungry for more."
""If The Ivalice Chronicles can do well, that's good for the fans, they can enjoy it. But, at the same time, it shows the business viability of the strategy RPG genre," The Ivalice Chronicles director Kazutoyo Maehiro tells Inverse, "So that could potentially open the door for doing something with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or A2, or maybe even sequels and new titles as well."
The Ivalice Chronicles is a ground-up remake of Final Fantasy Tactics rebuilt without the original source code. Original developers and the art director returned to recreate a definitive version that fulfills the original team's vision. The remake required extensive rebuilding, deliberate design choices, and a chosen visual direction developed through early discussions between key staff. The team intends the release to both satisfy fans and demonstrate the commercial viability of strategy RPGs. Success could enable remakes, sequels, or new titles such as entries in the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance line.
