So, guess what? A new Final Fantasy Tactics game might actually happen! I know, right? We've been waiting forever! The director of the upcoming remake, Kazutoyo Maehiro, hinted that if The Ivalice Chronicles does well, it could pave the way for a proper sequel. Can you imagine? I'm already hyped!

The original Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1 was a classic. It had this amazing story and introduced the world of Ivalice, which then popped up in other games. But it never got a direct sequel, which was a bummer. We did get the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance games, but the last one was way back in 2007. It's been too long!

Maehiro mentioned that the success of the remake would demonstrate the "business viability" of strategy RPGs. He said it could "open the door" for more games, maybe even sequels to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or entirely new titles. Honestly, I think a lot of us who loved the original would be thrilled.

It's not just about nostalgia, though. Final Fantasy Tactics was praised for its mature storytelling and political intrigue. It was a different kind of Final Fantasy, and a lot of fans have been wanting a new one for years. This remake has been rumored for ages, and now it looks like it could be the key to getting a new game.

Also, he touched on how popular the strategy genre is in general. Sure, action games are everywhere, but that doesn't mean turn-based strategy games are dead. They've just evolved! Strategy RPGs give you a chance to really think and strategize, and people still dig that. I definitely do!

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is launching on September 30th for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC (via Steam). I think Ayako Yokoyama, co-director, said it best: even though the original game is almost 30 years old, the story is still amazing and worth experiencing. And even if you're not a hardcore strategy fan, the story alone might be worth checking out.
