Continuing their trend of releasing Final Fantasy games as PlayStation Archive downloads Square Enix put Final Fantasy Tactics online. Not Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, the original PsOne game.

I’ve been toying around with Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions again. After spending a considerable amount of time unlocking the three cameo characters, I was still excited to play the retranslated version. The experience different from the PS1 version I played many years ago and I love the new translation. The story [...]

  Square-Enix sent over a batch of new screenshots from the English version of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War. Most of them are battle pictures, but a handful of screens show how the new translation is progressing. For starters Algus has a new name, Argath, and his dialogue reminds me of a condescending noble. [...]

Square-Enix is adding a nice touch to Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions by adding in voice acting for the cutscenes. Way back at E3 I got to catch a trailer reel and hear Ramza’s voice for the first time and now you can too. This clip is from a cutscene at Orbonne [...]

There characters in this series are from Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, which includes Ramza Beoulve, Delita Hyral, Princess Ovelia Atkascha, Agrias Oaks and Sky Pirate Balthier. The Final Fantasy Tactics Trading Arts go on sale this September in Japan and if you must have a miniature Ramza on day one Play-Asia [...]

There are some differences, but the box art for Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions uses the awesome concept art from the Japanese release. I think the USA box art looks a little better too. It doesn’t cut the top off Orlandu’s head and it is centered. Kudos go to Square-Enix for keeping [...]

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=J4CWnmPL6aM[/youtube] It’s one of the best strategy RPGs ever created and today is its tenth birthday. When Squaresoft took a gamble releasing Final Fantasy Tactics in 1998 they probably didn’t expect it be such a hit. Copies flew off store shelves and for a few years after its release it was a “rare” game commanding [...]

  Final Fantasy fan service at its best or worse if you hate crossovers, all three cameo characters captured in one picture. It’s an open secret that players can find Cloud from Final Fantasy VII, Ruso / Luso from Final Fantasy Tactics A2 and Balthier from Final Fantasy XII in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War [...]

When Ramza reaches Zirekile Falls he runs into Delita who has Princess Ovelia with him. After a battle with the Hokuten, Ramaza confronts his childhood friend about the kidnapping on the bridge staring down at the falls…   This video is from the second chapter of the game and it has Ramza wearing his spiked [...]

After Teta is kidnapped by the Death Knights, Delita runs off to the Mandalia Plains where he feels powerless to save her. Delita stares at the sunset thinking how Teta is watching it too when Ramza finds him…   This is one of the earlier videos from Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions [...]

I jumped right into playing Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou, now known as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions in North America, last week. It’s an upgraded port of Final Fantasy Tactics, which tells the politically charged tale of Ramza Beoulve and introduces the Ivalice to the world. Final Fantasy Tactics also resurrected [...]

  Just got my copy of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War and the packaging is pretty incredible. The manual is a piece of art too, it’s double sided and it has Ramza and Delita staring at each other. While the instruction booklet has a list of commands for all of the regular jobs there [...]

It’s only a few more days until Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou comes out in Japan and this commercial splices footage of the cutscenes together. Ruso and Balthier (now noseless) make quick appearances in the clip with the rest of the Final Fantasy Tactics cast. I’m really curious how Square-Enix is going to pull the [...]

  A new trailer is up on the official Final Fantasy: Tactics the Lion War site. You can watch the new preview video by selecting the third clip in the “movie & download” menu. While it’s easy to be mesmerized by the pencil sketched FMV sequences, the trailer does reveal some extra information about Final [...]
