Almost ten years ago, Square Enix introduced Final Fantasy Tactics, one of the best and most critically acclaimed turn based strategy titles ever seen on the PlayStation or any other console. The adventure, set in the now familiar game world of Ivalice, surrounded a huge war that splintered the land in two. Now, Square Enix is re-releasing this title with a number of technical enhancements for the PSP. Is The War of the Lions the definitive edition of the classic RPG? Yes, but you will have to allow for a number of classic and new issues that inconvenience many of the new features in the title.
For those of you not familiar with the storyline of Final Fantasy Tactics, I'll provide a brief explanation of the general themes and basic scenario of the title without spoiling anything. The game covers political intrigue, betrayal, class warfare, divided allegiances, murder, manipulation and numerous other topics. You know -- light, cheery fare. War of the Lions is set up thanks to the problems between two dukes in the kingdom of Ivalice. With the king having suddenly died and his two year old son becoming the ruler of the land, the queen's brother, Duke Larg, is widely considered to be the front runner for the throne's regency. Hoping to counter any influence from the queen, the council of the land appointed the king's younger cousin, Duke Goltanna as regent. Of course, this sets up a large amount of conflict within both the royal court as well as the populace, particularly since both men were valorous generals in a previous war.
