Square Enix Teases Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster: Release Window, New Features, and What Fans Can Expect
• Hot Trendy News
Square Enix has finally lifted the curtain on Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, a full remake of the legendary 1997 tactical RPG, during today’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast. The publisher confirmed a worldwide launch on 30 September 2025 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, ending years of speculation ignited by the 2021 Nvidia leak and repeated insider reports.
A modern revival with dual modes
Square Enix revealed that The Ivalice Chronicles will ship with two playable versions:
• Enhanced Mode – rebuilt visuals using HD-2D art, fully voiced cut-scenes, re-orchestrated soundtrack, and streamlined UI.
• Classic Mode – the 1997 original preserved in 4:3 aspect ratio, running at 60 fps with quick-save and fast-forward options.
Key new features
• Cross-platform cloud saves between PlayStation and PC
• Online PvP skirmishes supporting up to 4 players
• Quality-of-life tweaks: job recommendations, battle rewinds, and an auto-battle training simulator
• Physical Collector’s Edition with Ramza & Delita diorama, 2-CD soundtrack, and 200-page art book (pre-orders open now on Square Enix Store)
Why this matters
Often hailed as one of the greatest strategy RPGs ever made, Final Fantasy Tactics has been locked to legacy platforms for nearly three decades. Its return arrives amid renewed appetite for tactical titles such as Triangle Strategy and Fire Emblem Engage, positioning Square Enix to capture both nostalgic fans and newcomers hungry for deep, turn-based combat.
