Final Fantasy Tactics

The best way yet to play this all-time tactical-RPG classic, modernizing just enough to keep its spirit intact. The retouched translation, stellar full voice acting, and new tools for tracking the dense palace intrigue make its unforgettable story shine, while the flexible job-class combat remains deeply rewarding. Drawbacks are a grind-heavy structure, late-game balance that leans on overpowered named units, rough character portraits, and the omission of a few job classes and the original translation that keep it just shy of definitive.
