Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles Remaster September Square Enix

Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Officially Announced For September

A remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, officially titled Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, has been announced by Square Enix. The game is set to release this September and will include the new version as well as the old version of the beloved tactical RPG.

A Final Fantasy Tactics remaster has been the subject of rumours for years at this point but now it looks like it’s finally official. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will feature two different versions of the game: the enhanced version and the classic version, catering to both new and old players depending on their preferences. A new difficulty mode will also be added in the enhanced version to welcome newer players.

Marketing director Francis Santos stated on the PlayStation Blog:

“First, we have the enhanced version, which adds fully voiced dialogue, an optimized and updated UI, graphical improvements, and a number of other quality of life features, including the more accessible ‘Squire’ difficulty setting makes the enhanced version an excellent starting point for first-time players. Those who wish to enjoy Final Fantasy Tactics as they remember it are welcome to play the classic version, which unites the graphics and gameplay of the original 1997 version with the renowned War of the Lions translation for a unique way to experience this beloved title. This version stays true to the original in almost every aspect, but includes some handy features such as auto save.”

Final Fantasy Tactics was originally released on PlayStation 1 in Japan in 1997 and North America in 1998. It has since become a highly beloved entry in Square Enix’s long-running franchise. An updated version called Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions was released on PSP in 2007, though it hasn’t received a proper remaster for modern consoles until now. Unfortunately, there was no sight of the long-rumoured Final Fantasy 9 remake during the State of Play, so the wait continues.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles launches on 30 September 2025 for PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Watch the reveal trailer below:
