I've beaten my 18th game in 2025 today as of November 29th 2025.
Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles for Steam/PC - this also marks the 50th game I've played and finished from the Final Fantasy series!
Just to mention, this is the gaming PC build I used to play this game - which was at 4K 60

RAM: 32 GB DDR5 SDRAM
STORAGE: 2 TB SSD

Game: Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles
Genre: Strategy RPG
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
System: Steam (PC)
Year of Release: 2025
Date of Completion: November 29th 2025
Length of Playthrough: 61 Hours
Score: 100/100
+Retains the gameplay mechanics and aspects of the original PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics but also features QoL addons such as quick speed up during battle and on the world map/cutscenes
+User interface completely renovated to make it look more modern and cleaner along with new colored markers which were not in the original.
+Ability to play Ivalice Chronicles which includes voice over cutscenes and new dialogue and scenes not seen in the original game along with the option to play the original PS1 version with all of the features retained but with the War of the Lions script.
+Chronicles section in menu revamps features including a more detailed description of characters and events
+Ability to play three difficulty modes Squire (Easy), Knight (Normal) and Tactician (Hard) which can be changed at any time during the game
+A lot of new dialogue added to existing cutscenes and in middle of battle expanding the lore and story of characters and events.
-Does not contain the jobs and other features which are introduced in War of the Lions (PSP, iOS, android)
-War of the Lions cutscenes are not featured within the game's main story itself but can be seen in the chronicles menu.
Despite the two cons, the pros make up for it.
