The War of the Lions is the second announced game in Square Enix's " Ivalice Alliance" series of video games set in the Ivalice fictional world.
The game is an updated version of Final Fantasy Tactics made for the PlayStation which was released in 1997. We're trying to reuse the worlds that fans like.Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions ( Japanese: ファイナルファンタジータクティクス 獅子戦争, Hepburn: Fainaru Fantajī Takutikusu Shishi Sensō) is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). It's kind of a waste to create this whole complex world that fans love and then just throw it all away, let it be just that one game. How have things changed since the original release and has that affected your plans for the re-release of this game?ĪK: One of the basic ideas behind it is, especially lately, the worlds - every Final Fantasy is set in a different world, and the worlds are getting deeper and more complex. GR: The original release was the first time that there was a Final Fantasy spin-off game now, of course, it's kind of a growth industry for Square Enix. But overall, the whole idea of the Zodiac thing is just something that's tied in very heavily in the world of Ivalice, so those games both take place in Ivalice and it's just something that takes place in multiple games. Is there any overlap between the new version of FFT and the new version of FFXII? Or was FFT an influence in how it was developed?ĪK: One thing is, the director working on the International version of FFXII is the battle director from Final Fantasy Tactics, so he was very fond of that battle system and wanted to implement that.
GR: The new version of Final Fantasy XII announced last week is called FFXII International: Zodiac Job System. Have you had to make any adjustments to the game in the remake because of this?Īkitoshi Kawazu: No, there's nothing that particularly changed because of the Ivalice Alliance. GamesRadar: On its original release in 1998, this was the first game that had featured Ivalice, but since that time there have been a number of games, and you've since announced the Ivalice Alliance series. Executive Producer Akitoshi Kawazu, Co-producer Shingo Kosuge and Translator Tom Slattery were happy to answer our questions. Thanks to this interview, we've learned that the US version will have voice during the cutscenes, where the Japanese version does not. This game, which originally came to the PSone in 1998, is beloved by fans but is something of a lost classic in the US market. Our final Square Enix interview of the entire SE Party 2007 was with team membersworking on the to-be-released remake of Final Fantasy Tactics, now subtitled The War of the Lions, which was released last week in Japan.
