FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles

Amazing story, 10/10 Tactics RPG, only issue I had was that the port didnt include the Dark Knight or Onion Knight classes

One of the greatest combat systems and stories I've ever experienced in gaming. The VA performance is truly incredible across the board and worth picking up if you haven't played it. Prepare to get completely destroyed in the early and mid game if you've never played before. Some encounters are straight-up BS, but all are completely solvable with minimal grinding even on the hardest difficulty.

一般遊戲重製大多會有兩種感覺：很好，但像是另一個遊戲、回憶總是美好的。這個重製版是極少數那種，優化了，但確實就是這個遊戲。有點像超時空之鑰CHRONO TRIGGER那樣，特色保留，加強到適合現在的常見解析度、現代操作習慣、情節的補充，以及最重要的語音、中文字幕。對於輕鬆玩的玩家也給予了極輕鬆的難度可以選擇，不然這遊戲當年可是相當難的，這把年紀沒有那麼多時間跟精力消耗在遊戲上了。

The best

노가다가 극심하지만 스토리는 정말 재미있는 게임. 더군다나 풀더빙까지 되어있어서 몰입감은 좋은 편.

好评

Still legendary. The way it held up and was remastered with such great QoL detail and care, it is one of THE games top 3 that I could think of over the years and wish it could get some modern love and a new release. A lot of things get shelved to never see the light of day beyond emulation. Would recommend to anyone new to the genre or familiar, the tactician mode was another welcome addition that made the adventure just so easy and fun to dive back in as a returning player. Great bones and mechanics here, would love to see more. Could be in this 2.5 style or even more modernized; attached or a new story, place or time all together. With the ofc the big ask being some coop or pvp. Will certainly be checking out the NG+ soon, a sincere thank you to all of those involved from the past and present truly.

This game's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ classic, but for both good and bad. Despite how much I like it, I shall try to be as fair and unbiased as I can with this. And as I usually do with reviews, I'll begin with the bad. It's infamous at this point that the original Final Fantasy Tactics was brutal in difficulty, and the PSP remake followed suit on that. When I saw that the game was getting another remake, I had expected that some of the more egregious difficulty spikes that border on gamebreaking would be balanced out, but... No? This game is still just as brutal, it just has an actual option to get back to the world map if you get stuck on an unbeatable situation, which the PS1 and PSP versions did not. I'm gonna be honest here, as much as I love challenges, there's more than just a handful of bosses here that are unbeatable unless you cheese them in some way - and definitely not beatable if you go in blind. Sure, it's cool that retrying a boss is faster now, but bashing your head against a wall until you get lucky enough to find the one strategy that works doesn't sound like a strategy game to me, but a puzzle game instead. Enemies in the lategame also tend to have hyper inflation running in their healthbars, everyone's a gigatank with twice the HP you could realistically get. The other only negative is, honestly, the weird decisions between the previous two editions. When it was announced that this game would use the base game first and only add things from War of the Lions - the PSP one - when necessary, it felt wrong. Sure, the extra cameo characters in the PSP are lore-breaking and should go, but the classes as well? Mime, Dark Knight, all of 'em gone. The cutscenes from War of the Lion, which looked so damn gorgeous? War of the Lions had about 25 minutes of cutscenes, this version only keeps like 3 of them. It feels wrong to take only a couple things and leave so much of the good ♥♥♥♥ behind. And I guess the Final Fantasy VII cameos feel as handfisted as they did back in the day, no fixing that. But leaving those two complains, what's left in here? An honestly amazing turn-based RPG/Strategy game, from start to finish. This game's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ classic and deservingly so. Gameplay-wise, while the game is challenging, it does give a massive amount of freedom to the player. Sure, I'd love to field up to six units rather than five, I'd love to have more classes, but with the amount already there you can go and build whatever nonsense you want. Lots of equipment, lots of accessories, tons of skills to learn. Many reviews skip on the audio department, but I don't: the music is amazing, and props go to the new voice-actors. The War of the Lions version only had voices in cutscenes, but here? Everyone's voiced, and nobody sounds out of place. I'm sure glad the graphics have kept their style. From up-close and with a big monitor, some of the sprites do look like they're hand-made drawings more than videogame sprites, if that makes any sense, but I'm sure as f#ck glad the audio synching issues from War of the Lions are fixed in here - back then, the effects from spells and such tanked performance for a second, leaving the audio running at normal speed. Lastly, the new quality of life additions in here? Great, f#cking love 'em. Skipping random encounters, speeding up stuff, going back to the world map to retry stuff, surprised the PSP one did not have any of that stuff. If only this version would let us kill Argath a couple more times, I don't think he's learned his lesson yet. Overall, do I recommend it? Hell yeah! But wait for a sale, the base price is a bit steep. While the game has a slow start, it really picks up. Hope ya enjoy medieval politics. TL:DR Edition: A very faithful remake of the original PS1 game, borrowing very little from the old PSP remake. Game is brutal in difficulty and enemies have way too much health in the lategame, but overall? A ton of fun.

回味一下童年的游戏，GBA上的最终幻想战略版A（FFTA）可以说是我的战棋启蒙作品了。 小时候看哥哥玩过PS1的最终幻想战略版，但自己一直没有打通过。 趁着重置版机会好好重温一下，希望SE能把FFTA和FFTA2打重制一下。

Pontos Positivos - O jogo está incrível. Diversas melhorias de qualidade de vida, que fizeram total diferença. A adição das cenas do PSP da uma imersão ainda maior. Dublagem, linha do tempo, e poder rever todos os encontros de história, acontecimentos, e curiosidades foram a cereja do bolo. Pontos Negativos - A falta da legenda em PT-BR, e uma opção para ultrawide ficaram devendo. Nota: É possível contornar ambos os pontos, utilizando MODs, e ai sim, o jogo fica 10/10.
