Square Enix announced the heavily rumored Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is indeed real with a new trailer revealed ruing the PlayStation State of Play presentation. The trailer also came with a release date: September 30, 2025.

Check out the trailer below.

The remake, officially titled Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, brings a new, enhanced version of the game with an updated user interface and additional quality-of-life improvements. As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, that includes a new, more accessible “Squire” difficulty setting, which should help first-time players grapple with Tactics–a famously tough game with a few difficulty spikes that were known to lock players into battles so intense that if your character levels were too low, you could never beat them, forcing some to start the game over completely.

The enhanced edition also has fully voiced dialogue throughout the game, as well as “extensive additions and adjustments to the story” and other new inclusions that Square Enix didn’t detail.

But if you’d rather have a more nostalgic experience, The Ivalice Chronicles will also include a “classic” version with FFT’s original graphics and gameplay. That version of the game will use the “War of the Lions” translation for the story, originally included in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions version released on the PlayStation Portable in 2007.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will be available for both PS4 and PS5.

Final Fantasy Tactics originally launched for the Sony PlayStation on June 20, 1997 in Japan, with the Western release coming a few months later on January 28, 1998. The game was remastered for the PSP with the subtitle The War Of The Lions 10 years later, and that version added new cutscenes, multiplayer functionality, and more.
