Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Review - Well Worth It
The urge to play a particular genre of game comes along from time to time, like the need to watch a movie or listen to a really good album – and recently I’ve had tactical RPGs on the mind.
Enter Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles – an expanded remaster of Square Enix’s cult classic Final Fantasy Tactics, which launched a little over 26 years ago.
A spin-off to the mainline Final Fantasy series, Tactics sets itself in the world of Ivalice, just after what is known as the Fifty Years War.
After the death of their ruler, two candidates are thrust forward to take the throne; Princess Ovelia, backed by Duke Goltanna of the Black Lion, and Prince Orinas backed by Duke Larg of the White Lion.
This new conflict throws Ivalice into chaos yet again – and at the centre of the conflict we see Ramza Beoulve, our protagonist and descendant of the noble Beoulve family of knights.
