During today’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, Square Enix revealed a brand-new trailer for Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles, focusing on the story of the game. This remaster is set to feature fully voiced dialogue for the very first time, an optimized UI, graphical improvements, and numerous other new features.
An overview of the story can be found below via PlayStation Blog:
Ivalice—a kingdom blessed by the light of the gods and ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after her defeat to Ordallia in the Fifty Years’ War, the king succumbed to malady, leaving a mere boy of two to ascend the throne.
Whoever was named regent would rule in truth, and thus emerged two rival candidates: dukes Goltanna and Larg, whose deeds during the war had earned them great renown. Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion were destined to clash, and the resulting conflict would come to be known as the War of the Lions.
Against this backdrop appear Ramza, third son of House Beoulve, one of Ivalice’s leading military families, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised amongst nobles. As they endeavor to chart a course through this tumultuous age, a mighty current draws them ever closer to the abyss.
Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles is set to launch on September 30 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
