I played “Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles” at Gamescom and was blown away!
As a fan of the original, the combination of familiar Depth and modern Improvements enthusiastic. The fights are still really tactical: every positioning, every ability and class selection count – you immediately notice that strategic thinking is rewarded here.
The new one „State of the Realm“-Funktion I particularly liked. Between the battles I was able to call up background information to the story. This worked political and personal conflicts tangible. It feels like experiencing the world of Ivalice for the first time, even though you already know the original.
Innovations that I noticed positively:
- The animations of the attacks seem significantly more fluid and lively, especially for magic like Holy or meteor.
- The job specializations now feel even more differentiated-some skills have small new effects that really make the difference in the fight.
- Terrain effects such as increased positions or water fields play much more into the tactical event, you really have to pay attention to every detail.
- Dialogues set to music bring the characters much closer – I really put myself into the story while playing.
- The fast fighter feature allows longer battles to play through easily without losing the flow of the game.
My first impression
In short: “Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles”Feel fresh and familiar at the same time. The small improvements in the gameplay, the dialogues set to music and the new comfort functions raise the gaming experience to a new level. In my allusion session, I immediately felt at home-and can hardly wait for the release.
