Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Review -- A Polished, Historical Gem
"I'm old enough to remember how it felt to first play Final Fantasy Tactics in 1997--to remember its stirring score, deep tactical combat, and most of all, the complex story of broken relationships and valor set against a bitter, conspiracy-laden battle for royal succession. It all came together to create an unforgettable experience. More than nearly any game of its time, I was so rapt in it that I would find my mind frequently wandering back to it,"
"The story primarily follows the life of Ramza Beoulve, the youngest and most obscure member of a storied house of nobles, and his fractious friendship with Delita Heiral, a commoner who was treated like family by the Beoulve clan. As narration informs us before the game begins, history remembers Delita as the conquering hero of the War of the Lions--but it was the relatively unknown Ramza who should actually be celebrated."
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles updates the 1997 tactical RPG, preserving its stirring score, deep tactical combat, and intricate narrative. The narrative centers on Ramza Beoulve, a marginalized noble, and Delita Heiral, a commoner raised alongside Ramza, whose contrasting fates shape a bitter succession conflict. The framing device presents Delita as history's celebrated conqueror while revealing Ramza's overlooked heroism. The setting follows the aftermath of the 50 Years War, highlighting tensions between nobles and commoners and a regency death that sparks the War of the Lions. The new edition balances modernization with fidelity to the original's spirit and charms.
