Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles review – remastered 1997 classic is even more politically resonant now

[Ultimat]

I'm still surprised they're re-releasing this game now . The themes of class struggle, inequality, and the cyclical nature of violence feel so relevant to our current times. It's wild to think that Yasumi Matsuno was onto something with his message all those years ago . The way the game tackles these complex issues without shying away from them is really impressive . And can we talk about how great the voice acting is? The Shakespearean dialogue is on point . But what's most striking to me is how this game, made in a different era, still feels eerily familiar and uncomfortable in today's world . I mean, who hasn't seen or experienced something like the themes presented in Final Fantasy Tactics? It's like Matsuno was tapping into something deeper and more universal . The remastered visuals are nice, but let's be real, it's the game itself that really matters here .

I'm loving this remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics . The way they've kept the original story intact while still making it feel fresh and relevant is impressive. The themes of class struggle, inequality, and the cyclical nature of violence are so pertinent to today's world . It's crazy how a game made over 20 years ago could feel so timely now.

I also love how the game tackles complex moralities and presents no clear-cut heroes or villains . The story is all about nuances and gray areas, which makes it feel more realistic and thought-provoking. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned medieval-inspired RPG with a richly detailed world to explore .

The gameplay feels super solid too, with the customization options being a huge bonus . I mean, who doesn't love creating their own party and experimenting with different job classes? It's clear that Final Fantasy Tactics is more than just a classic RPG re-release – it's an experience that still resonates today .

I'm not sure about all this fuss over remastering an old game. I mean, don't get me wrong, the graphics look dope and the voice acting is on point , but is this really something new? The story's pretty complex, I'll give it that - Ramza's got some major existential crises going on , but it feels like we've seen all this before in other games. And yeah, class struggle and inequality are super relevant now , but did they have to be so heavy-handed? It's like the devs were trying too hard to make a statement about how woke they are .
