Final Fantasy Tactics Remake Review – Why This 30-Year-Old Game Still Matters
Step back into Ivalice with us! In this episode of The ProfNoctis Show, Evan and I dive into our spoiler-free review of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles—Square Enix’s long-awaited remaster of the legendary tactical RPG.
We cover:
-Presentation & performance – how the visuals, voice acting, and sound reimagine a classic.
-Quality of life improvements – from auto-battle to smarter menus that make grinding fun.
-Why the Nintendo Switch is the perfect home for FFT.
-The story’s timeless themes – faith, betrayal, power, and how FFT mirrors real church history.
How this game still speaks to us nearly 30 years later.
-And yes, we’ll gush about bards, ninjas, chocobos, and how naming party members after early church fathers makes grinding way more fun (at least for Prof)
This conversation is also a preview of our Final Fantasy Tactics Lecture Series, beginning Tuesday, September 30th—Release Day—live at 7:30pm CT on YouTube and Twitch. Each week we’ll explore councils, canon, heresy, and history through the lens of FFT’s story.
