FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles transports players to the war-torn Kingdom of Ivalice, a medieval realm fractured by political infighting, class struggle and the ambitions of rival noble houses in the wake of the Fifty Years’ War.

Returning to the project are Kazutoyo Maehiro (Director), Hiroshi Minagawa (Art Director), and Yasumi Matsuno (Original Script, Scenario Writer, and Editor), whose visionary work defined the original. They are joined by a new generation of developers, including Shoichi Matsuzawa (Producer) and Ayako Yokoyama (Co-Director), who bring fresh energy and perspective to this ambitious revival.
