TLDR: A richly told tactical RPG with a classic job system and strong voice acting, though missing past content and some uneven balance and dated structure. Still a worthwhile return to a genre staple. PROS: ➕Contains 2 games - FFT remaster (Ivalice Chronicles) and FFT classic ➕Classic FF job system ➕Good narrative ➕Fully voice acted CONS: ➖Some of the jobs are terrible/poorly balanced ➖Auto-save states are immensely confusing trying to find the right one for who’s turn it is ➖Not a “Definitive edition” - missing War of the Lions content Content (Game world/Narrative) – The game world consists of a world map and battle map. The world map is a simple overhead view of all the destinations you can visit, of which there are maybe around 50. The battles occur in specific areas on the world map, there’s maybe around 30 different battle maps consisting of different biomes. There’s not a lot of exploration, just some occasional vague side quests or random treasure to be found through abilities, but nothing grand. The narrative is pretty good. It’s about how history in Ivalice has been rewritten, leaving out a very important character as he uncovers the lies told by the church. It’s a story filled with political intrigue and the casualties of war mixed well with typical Final Fantasy references. It does devolve a bit into the typical “Good guy must stop bad guy from destroying world” towards the end, but considering it's from the late ‘90s, it’s still very good. I adore the parallels to real world issues, how it’s very likely to spread a lie instead of an inconvenient truth. Gameplay (Mechanics/Difficulty) – The general gameplay loop is to navigate to a place on the world map, watch a scene, and do a turn-based battle. The main thing I want to bring up is the job system. This is classic Final Fantasy with the jobs, and a massive part of what makes Tactics so good. The flexibility to choose a main job with a secondary ability as well as a few passives opens the game up to good build potential, even if some of the jobs (Archer) are not as great as others. Still, the job system in Tactics might be one of the best representations of the job system in any Final Fantasy title to date. Other than the excellent job system, the main mechanical focus is on the “Tactical” combat. I don’t consider it very tactical as much as it’s just turn-based. There isn’t much deep thought or creativity you can use in the midst of combat without specific preparation of your job setup. I think this is the big advantage that Tactics: Ogre has over FFT - actual tactical combat. In FFT you can grind levels and job points to make any story battles easier, while in Tactics: Ogre, as annoying as it can be, you’re hard capped on levels, creating a much more balanced experience. I think that FFT is a better game, but it’s not tactically profound. As for difficulty, the game is fairly easy, especially when you can grind levels freely. There is a big difficulty spike towards the end of the game, where the game almost expects you to abuse the few ways you can become overpowered. This is amplified by the fact that the final battles take place in a multi-fight dungeon you cannot escape from. Technical (Graphics/Performance) – The graphics are good, especially for a game originally released in 1998 and this is not a remake. I would say the graphics are around PS2-era fidelity. I played on the Steam Deck, and performance was good, a consistent 60 FPS, though some of the text is small and hard to read. I noticed no bugs. 1440p @ 240hz | installed on SSD Audio – The music is great, but from more of a nostalgic timeless aspect. I have very fond memories of the music so it holds a special place in my heart. While the music is good, the true improvement here over the original is the voice acting. All dialogue is voice acted, and it's good. Replay Factor (Longevity) – The replay value could be better, but it’s improved over the original release. There’s not a lot of endgame content, I think a few sidequests and one optional dungeon. There is NG+ but the story doesn’t have enough changes to really warrant it. Achievements are good. Not much else. Final Verdict – Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles (FFT-IC) is a nice love letter to original FFT fans like myself. I have fond memories of dumping hundreds of hours into FFT over summer break from school, so revisiting this game has been a joy. That being said, I do wish after over 25 years that SE would stop flirting with the idea and just release either a full on remake, or a sequel to FFT. FFT-IC is a very good version, but not the best, which is a shame, since this was SE’s opportunity to take all the content from FFT’s previous versions - War of the Lions and/or the mobile ports, and combine them into one big package, but that didn’t happen here. FFT-IC is missing content that was already previously released with WotL and is missing the graphical upgrades of the mobile port. That all being said, I am still thrilled to be able to play FFT on PC after way too long without it, and give further acknowledgement to the good performance on Steam Deck. Back in the day of ‘98, I would have given this a 10/10, but in 2026, even this new release is starting to show its age. The jobs could use some newer refined abilities, and the gameplay could be more interesting with actual tactical options, like what Larian does with their turn-based games. Despite some grievances, I easily give FFT-IC a recommendation. It's still a great game that is worth experiencing to this day. Recommend? (Price) [Y/N] Yes $50 base is too much for a port with missing content. I would say $30 is a much better price point, with a sale of $20.

This is a top 3 game of all time for me. I've put countless hours into it on the PS1 version, on emulators, and now finally on a proper PC port. And what a port this is. It's rare to get an enhanced port of a game that makes tons of actual improvements without making any mistakes or errors, but by the gods does this nail it. I can't say enough good things about this.
Final Fantasy Tactics is a classic and you probably already know that. Not much to add there. What I will say is the voice acting in this version did more for me than I expected. Gives the whole thing a bit more weight. If you're new to it, the gameplay is deep, the job system is a proper rabbit hole, difficulty scales well and the story goes to some genuinely dark political places that feel nothing like what you'd expect from Final Fantasy. It's grim, it's layered, it's great. Big recommend, though maybe wait for a sale on this one.
This is a very old game and it's being sold for a pretty steep price, I probably wouldn't recommend it at full value, so get it on sale if you get it at all. Overall my thoughts on this game are somewhat mixed. It's regarded as a cult classic, but if I'm being honest, I feel like the emphasis might be leaning more into the "cult" part. I think this game's use of the Final Fantasy job class system works very well during the early stages of the game. As you earn JP, you select new skills and passives from that job, and gradually mix-and-match abilities from many jobs until you create a juggernaut. A big issue for me arises in that a commonly accepted strategy for this game is to just... grind EXP by throwing rocks at each other in a circle? Like some weird rock-chucking cult? Of course, you don't *have* to do this, but the damage numbers in this game swing in pretty incomprehensible ways. It even has an infamous build-check during the mid-game in the boss fight with Wiegraf. It essentially forces you to figure out how to make an absurdly broken build for Ramza so he can win this scripted solo fight. My greater issue with that fight specifically is that once I had done that, every other combat in the game ceased to have any semblance of challenge. My turn count on every subsequent battle was reduced to a question of "How many turns until Ramza reaches the boss?" So I'm not a huge fan of the combat mechanics in this game, but I recognize the point in which my enjoyment started to tumble was as soon as Wiegraf came into the picture. The game was pretty fun before that! Having Ramza be massively OP might've been fun in its own way too, but it didn't feel great that I was essentially forced into creating a meta build just to continue the story. Speaking of story, that's probably where I had the most enjoyment. The political commentary has only gotten more resonant after 30 years, and the story has a pretty bittersweet conclusion. Ramza is a good lad, I'm happy to have seen his story through to the end.
