For those unaware, Final Fantasy Tactics was a spin-off of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series released in 1997 for the PlayStation One. It followed the story Ramza Beoulve, a noble thrust into a bloody conflict where two noble factions are waging war for the right to rule the realm of Ivalice.
Unlike other Final Fantasy games at the time, which used traditional JRPG turn-based combat, Final Fantasy Tactics employed turn-based tactical gameplay where you positioned your party on a grid to attack enemies or cast spells from a distance.
Final Fantasy Tactics was widely regarded as one of the best games in the entire Final Fantasy franchise for its innovative tactical gameplay and complex story of political intrigue, tragedy, and war.
