Yes, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles cuts content from the War of the Lions version, and it’s a shame. However, put this one issue aside, if you can, and you’ve got a fantastic — and fantastically thoughtful — revamp otherwise. Meaningful QoL changes meld with delicate gameplay nips and tucks, CPU enemy tune-ups, and a smoother-flowing experience overall to deliver a game that’s pretty much impossible to knock.”
