If you’re already a fan, you’re probably playing it right now, possibly still cursing under your breathe about the price point and the wide range of issues. Since the iOS port is based on the PSP version, you’ll also get an updated story, a better translation than the PS1 version and a few fancy cutscenes.įor those who haven’t played it, that’s really all you need to know walking in as there are plenty of reviews that go in-depth into the game’s systems out there. As you play through, you’ll be able to level up your characters, equip weapons and effects and change jobs. Gameplay wise, you’ll be taking over a squad of characters and battling on grid-based maps in a turn-based system. It is often cited as one of the best turn-based strategy games in existence for its complex RPG elements, intelligent AI and its labyrinth of tactical options. The PSP version is the one ported over to the iOS. It has since spawned a Gameboy Advance version, a DS sequel and finally, a PSP remake of the original, with the added War of the Lions subtitle. It was the first of what would end up being a billion Final Fantasy offshoot titles and subsequently, for a confused sixteen-year-old consumer, a strange, turn-based strategy version of Final Fantasy. I had the same feeling loading up the iOS version as I did the first time on PS1 - puzzled and unsure of exactly what to think about it.įirst, a quick primer for those who haven’t been following along at home since 1998: Final Fantasy Tactics was originally released for Playstation and created by most of the team behind the Super Nintendo classic, Ogre Battle. But I got used to it and ended up purchasing it again on PSP and yet again on iOS as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. I was, to say the least, confused and disappointed for the first couple hours of the game. I distinctly remember the feeling of unwrapping and loading up Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Tactics on my Playstation as a kid, unsure of exactly what it was, but I knew it had something to do with the Final Fantasy series and it was enough for me.
