Final Fantasy Tactics Writer Reveals The Political Inspiration For The Game's Story
Briefly

The remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, titled The Ivalice Chronicles, is highly anticipated, focusing on its rich political narrative crafted by Yasumi Matsuno. The storyline follows protagonists Ramza Beoulve and Delita Heiral, who embody different approaches to societal challenges amidst the backdrop of Japan's economic struggles. Matsuno emphasizes the relevance of the game's themes, such as friendship, betrayal, and the fight against social class structures, particularly as they resonate with pressing modern issues like inequality and division in 2025.
"Nearly 30 years ago, the collapse of Japan's bubble economy... triggered a wave of corporate bankruptcies and stagnation of Japanese society... it was an era when many were robbed of hope."
"Against this historical backdrop, I crafted a story... of Ramza, who fought tirelessly against the entrenched social class system, and Delita, who sought to take advantage of this confusion."
