During the latest State of Play, Square Enix officially unveiled Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles. The new version of one of the most beloved games in the entire cult saga. It will allow younger players to discover the PS1 title in its finest light, but also older players to rediscover it. Yes, because it won't be just a simple port or remaster with the usual gains in resolution or frame rate. The characters will be voiced, and a nice surprise is confirmed ahead of time.
Final Fantasy Tactics finally elucidates this mystery
Square Enix wants to celebrate the return of Final Fantasy Tactics on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, and will even release a collector's edition. An edition that collectors should snap up, but which puts some off due to its price of €289.99. To satisfy both audiences, old players and newcomers, the developers will offer a choice of version with two modes for an old-school or more modern experience. The "optimal" version of Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles includes enhanced graphics, a revised interface, and comfort options.
Among the new features that will improve the experience, we have accelerated speed to increase the pace of combat, a tactical view to better understand battles, an automatic save, and additional difficulty modes. But what changes the game in Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles is the voice acting, and more than you might think.
In addition to confirming that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will have full English and Japanese voice acting, Square Enix has announced the cast, and there's a double surprise. As in the original, Cloud will be returning, and Cody Christian (FF7 Remake, FF7 Rebirth) has been tapped to voice him. If you played the game on PS1, you may remember that a young woman who strongly resembled Aerith also appeared, but wasn't playable. Until now, her identity had never been truly confirmed. But it's definitely her, as we learned that Brianna White, who played Aerith in the FF7 remakes and Crisis Core FF7 Reunion, is in the cast of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. And, obviously, in the role of the young woman with flowers.
