Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles reviewed by Ronny Barrier on PlayStation 5, also available on Xbox, PC, and Switch 1 & 2.The next time I come back to replay my all-time favorite video game, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is the version I’ll be reaching for. Its fantastic story of intrigue and betrayal mixed with one of the most satisfying RPG job systems around have endured the test of time. This is a mostly by-the-book remake, and it can’t quite be called a complete or definitive edition due to not including all content from all versions (and not doing enough to address the endgame imbalances of the original), but sometimes less is more. Stripping away the cruft of Final Fantasy Tactics while surfacing what made it special through smart UI tweaks, convenience features, and excellent new voice acting brings it almost completely up to date. It reminded me of why it was so amazing in the first place and allows me to confidently recommend it to newcomers without making excuses for the original’s 1990s creakiness.
