Final Fantasy Tactics
A warrior takes sword in hand, clasping a gem to his heart...
Engraving vanishing memories into the sword,
He places finely honed skills into the stone.
Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone,
Now the story can be told...
Originally released in January 1998, Final Fantasy Tactics was one of the most innovative console RPGs of its time. It took classic CRPG elements and combined them with more ground-level strategy, including a job system and a battle system in which characters walk around and fight on a map. Though Final Fantasy Tactics didn't enjoy immediate success, it has become a cult classic with a huge following, eventually becoming a Playstation Greatest Hit. After that, it not only spawned Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS games with similar mechanics (but wildly different storyline), it also received the classic Squenix remake treatment in October 2007 for the PSP and mobile devices, followed by a complete remaster in 2025 (that you won't find here, at least not yet).
Final Fantasy Tactics takes gamers to the world of Ivalice through the eyes of Ramza Beoulve, a noble who learns the truth about the way the world works. The game takes place during the Lion War in which two Princes of Ivalice vie for who should reign while the late King's son grows up. However, someone else is controlling the war, and Ramza takes it upon himself to determine just who that is, and to stop them...
