Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a terrific, if not exactly revolutionary, remaster of one of the PS1's best TRPGs.

The politically-charged 1997 PlayStation original is one of the finest tactics games of all time. This remaster offers a brilliant new reading of what was already a classic text.

The developers of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles might be hesitant to call the game a true remaster because of its complicated history, but that’s definitely what it seems like to me, and it’s an absolute banger of one that. With lots of tweaks and additions that elevate the original experience as well as make it loads more approachable for newcomers, this seminal tactical RPG has never been better.

The Ivalice Chronicles provides the best way to play an all-time classic, even if it lacks some of the archival glow-up it deserves.

Overall, Final Fantasy Tactics is still the brilliant tactical role-playing game I thoroughly enjoyed playing at the end of the ‘90s. This new and updated HD remaster in the form of The Ivalice Chronicles is a welcome addition, especially for newer players, but it’s the original game that makes this collection so very special.
