“This finally provides a definitive — though debatably so — way to play Final Fantasy Tactics,” another reviewer argues. “If you’re a purist, the remaster even offers an option to play the original version.”

“A masterpiece, now refined — highly recommended,” a third reviewer says. “This isn’t just a fantasy tale; it’s a brutal, layered political epic that lingers long after the credits.”

Another player sums it up: “A beautiful re-creation of an already beautiful game.” In short: Final Fantasy Tactics remains excellent, and The Ivalice Chronicles largely preserves what made it special.

The more critical reviews focus on Square Enix’s inclusion of the Denuvo anti-piracy system — controversial because of concerns it can impact performance — and the price point (around £40 / $50), which some long-term fans feel is steep for the scale of the changes.
