Remasters and remakes seem like they're a dime a dozen these days, but here's
one I'm selfishly pretty stoked for. Square Enix announced during
PlayStation's State of Play event that is revisiting the 1997 strategy RPG
chapter from its famous franchise. Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice
Chronicles is due out on September 25, 2025 for both the PlayStation 5 and
PlayStation 4.

This updated version of the turn-based strategy game introduces some welcome
additions to the original. You'll find new graphics, an updated user
interface and voiced dialogue in the enhanced version. It also brings some
quality of life improvements, such as a more beginner-friendly Squire
difficulty level. But if you want to immerse in the nostalgia and the
challenge, you can swap back to the original graphics, gameplay and English
translation. The original version also boasts a few modern upgrades, like an
auto-save system.

As someone who has clocked several hundred hours in the Fire Emblem series,
I've always had Final Fantasy Tactics hovering in my to-play queue. Whether
you're a first-timer like me or are already well versed in the political
intrigues of Tactics, this fall seems like an excellent change to check out
the game.
