Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Is "Real And Happening" According To Latest Update

Eh, I'll believe it when I see it

Nice, just add widescreen and 1080p graphics and I'll be fine with that. Maybe 2D-HD engine if squareenix really want to remake it fully, just don't censor anything compared to its psone version.

Noooo, don't call it FFT Remaster, War of the Lions was a perfect subtitle.

@Daniel36 the abbreviation FFTR sounds like somebody just made a joke.

Loved Final Fantasy Tactics Advance as a kid!

I hope this comes out, never got a chance to try this one out and I'm curious how it compares.

Square could just re-release War of the Lions and it would be fine. Not sure I particularly care about smeary uprezzed graphics like they did with Tactics Ogre - but the pencil-lined animations for the cut scenes in the original still look beautiful today. Think I last played FFT round about 2017, just before the Switch came out. My second favourite game I played that year, after Breath of the Wild. Probably my favourite Final Fantasy title too.

@Krull Yes, it's one of my favourite games ever, and if they treat it right, I'd be happy to play it on Switch. But I agree, the upscaling they did on Tactics Ogre looks terrible.

The iOS/Android port of FFT WotL actually looks great. The backgrounds are rendered at a high resolution but they haven't messed with the original assets. I wish they would just port over that version, but I doubt they will.

One of my fav GBA games! Countless hours of fun. A remake would be nice, but is not necessary. I'll believe it when I see it.

FFT is one of my top 5 games of all time and my second favorite FF behind 7.

Surprised this wasn't something they did awhile ago though.

Announce it and I'll believe it.
Until then it's just empty speculation.

It will be either good or totally crap. Squenix keeps dropping the ball these years and I don't think there is a reason to be hyped for now. When it will be released I'll check some reviews and 1-2 intro hours to see if there's nothing malicious hidden. If my boxes are checked, then I'll buy it with a smile on my face.

Seems like that Direct won’t have many surprises left

@JohnnyMind Oh, that would be great news indeed, as I always skipped PlayStation and exclusively play Nintendo consoles and PC.

are they including the psp game too, that was nice...

Im not trusting an leaks from anywhere after what happened yesterday.

While I'm glad this remastered could potentially happen soon. Question still arise if this remastered is based on PSP port of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions similar to Tactics Ogre Reborn or if it was a truly new remastered of the PS1 original or just a port of the mobile phone version. It likely could be a remastered of the PSP version but this is Square Enix after all so if they want easy money they could potentially just port the mobile phone version instead. I don't think we would ever get the GBA or DS games any time soon.

if the game still has the slowdown every time you cast a spell I'm gonna jump into a river

If Jason says it then I believe it. He doesn't just throw information around. He actually has sources.

I have been patiently waiting for a long time. Tactics Ogre Reborn was amazing and I spent 210 hours in it. Final Fantasy Tactics was my first ever Tactical RPG way back on PS1 and I would buy a remaster/remake in an instant. I hope they do the same art style as TO:R because I really liked the aesthetic of it. Took me back to playing on PS1.

Edit: Maybe an announcement during Nintendo Direct? Just a thought, but maybe?

I never played it so I would very much be interested in this supposed remaster. Sure, I could go back and play the original now but I'm spoiled by modern QoL sensibilities. No idea if the game even needs the modern treatment but I'd still rather wait.

As far as rumors go, this seems like a fairly safe one. Square-Enix likes remastering their classics, and it wouldn't even be the first time they've done it with this particular game.

I was wondering what happened to my comment oh well. My sources are still right

I hope it’s beginner friendly in addition

Need to change the headline, Jason Schreier isn’t Square Enix. It’s not “real and happening” if it’s not from them.

@Bobb Uh oh, I smell a War of the Lions Expansion Pass 🔎💩

Ramza and T.G. Cid amiibo, plz? XD

@Bobb Or worse, a character gacha system 🫠

I never played the original, but I did play Advance and A2. So playing a remastered original would be great, as long as they add a Original Filter for those that want the old-school look.

Wait, what's this about a Chrono Cross remake leak? By the time I ever get to Chrono Cross on Switch the remake might actually be revealed.

@Ulysses Or a character gacha system where every lady is a hot cartoon, so no one complains...

I love Final Final Fantasy Tactics, and I suspect I will still be able to enjoy the story and the gameplay upon a rerelease, but I wonder if I will ever find the energy to pour into the game like I did in my youth. Spending hours training my units and customizing them perfectly was a thrill! But I don’t just have like 100 hours laying around anymore

H*ll yes, one of my favorite games, I even got it on my PS Vita so I can play it. I hope it's not like Tactics Ogre Remaster, they changed it. Obviously the graphics will be better & as long everything else is the same, I'm here for it. I been waiting years for a Remaster.
