Rumors and Teases Build Up to the Big Reveal

Speculation around Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles had been circulating for months prior to the official reveal.

Shortly after, respected industry reporter Jason Schreier added fuel to the fire when he mentioned in a Reddit post in June 2024 that “The Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is real and happening.”

On June 4, just hours before the State of Play event, Schreier posted cryptic messages on BlueSky regarding the project. When a fan replied expressing excitement for a FF Tactics remake, Schreier corrected them by replying with “Remaster,” confirming the nature of the upcoming title.

Meanwhile, excitement reached a fever pitch when Yasumi Matsuno, the original director and writer of Final Fantasy Tactics, retweeted the official PlayStation Japan announcement for the State of Play. Although the retweet was quickly deleted, fans captured screenshots, further intensifying expectations for the game’s reveal.

With its official confirmation and confirmed release window, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles promises to bring the iconic tactical RPG experience to a new generation while honoring the legacy of the original classic.
