Nearly two decades ago, Final Fantasy Tactics pushed the franchise in a bold new direction, a dramatic politically-charged strategic RPG. Note: This interview contains spoilers for Final Fantasy Tactics. How do you think The Ivalice Chronicles can appeal to newer Final Fantasy fans, and do you think Final Fantasy could return to the Tactics format again someday? During that time, numerous Final Fantasy titles were released, so even among Final Fantasy fans, there are many who have heard of the name Final Fantasy Tactics but have never played it, or who are unaware of its existence altogether. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles launches on September 30 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
