The game does include a mechanic which may open the door for collaborations with future Final Fantasy entries. There's also an Auto mode, where your team can do all the work while you reap the rewards of completing a tedious, easy-to-complete stage. Gameplay is very much streamlined and includes some excellent quality-of-life additions, such as the ability to target only enemy units with spells that have large areas of effect rather than hitting friendly units with splash damage. Final Fantasy XII is set in Ivalice and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn uses Ivalice as a setting for the Stormblood expansion, where players can meet Tactics' main character Ramza, and the game's Viera race is playable in the Shadowbringers expansion. With so much Ivalice going around, it's only natural for a new Tactics game to be released.įor now, though, fans will find solace in the knowledge that War of the Visions itself is honestly pretty fun. It's not like Square Enix hasn't revisited Ivalice, the land where Tactics' story takes place. But outside of the PSP remake Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, the Game Boy Advance spin-off Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and its Nintendo DS sequel, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, Final Fantasy Tactics has remained regretfully dormant. Considering there have been a whopping fifteen Final Fantasy main series games, the lack of Tactics games seems like a missed opportunity for Square Enix, a company well-known for capitalizing on popular franchises. Even though the game is turn-based, you must plan your strategies carefully before you commit units to battle.The first Tactics game came out in 1997 on PlayStation 1 to rave reviews, eventually going from cult classic to fan favorite. The greatest distinction between the game and the Final Fantasy predecessors is the game’s battles on isometric-view 3-D maps (as large as 16 x 16 tiles) where terrain, height, and other elements become factors in the battles. You still build up your characters and learn new skills and actions, but the real emphasis is on the battle strategies themselves. Occasionally, your party is drawn into random battles as it moves between towns, but the real focus is on character interaction.įinal Fantasy Tactics, however, focuses on the game’s tactical aspects. In most RPG’s, you spend most of the game traveling from location to location to uncover pieces of information, participating in mini games, and fighting boss battles that further the game’s story line. Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the most enjoyable and strategic RPG titles out there for Sony PlayStation.
