Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a tactical role-playing game set in Ivalice, a kingdom ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after Ivalice’s defeat by Ordallia in the Fifty Years’ War, the king dies of illness, leaving the throne to his two-year-old son. Dukes Goltanna and Larg, celebrated for their deeds in the war, compete to become regent and rule in practice. Their rivalry—between Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion—leads to the War of the Lions.

Against this conflict, Ramza, third son of the prominent military House Beoulve, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised among nobles, try to find their way through a turbulent age as events draw them toward the abyss.

Tactical battles

Lead your party across 3D battlefields, using the terrain, strategic positioning and careful planning to shape each encounter. Turn order matters, and your decisions determine the outcome.

Jobs and abilities

Your party members gain access to jobs as they grow. The game has over 20 jobs, including white mage, black mage and dragoon, alongside others from the FINAL FANTASY series. Each job has its own abilities; once learned, abilities remain usable after you change jobs. With hundreds of abilities to learn, you can experiment with combinations to develop strategies for your party. You can also tame chocobos and other creatures and lead them into battle.

Two versions

The enhanced version features improved graphics, fully voiced dialogue and refined gameplay, along with adjustments to features and battle mechanics. It also adds the more accessible Squire difficulty setting, making it a starting point for first-time players.

The classic version combines the graphics and gameplay of the original 1997 release with the War of the Lions translation.
