For years, fans speculated about a revival of Final Fantasy Tactics by Square Enix. During PlayStation’s State of Play in June, the company finally unveiled their project: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. This remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics, which debuted on the PS1 in 1997, marks the first time Square has revisited this spin-off series since 2013. It’s also the first opportunity for players to enjoy a new Final Fantasy Tactics game on home consoles since the original.
If you don’t own a PlayStation, you can breathe easy; The Ivalice Chronicles will be available on all major platforms. Alongside PS5 and PS4, it will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Mark your calendars for September 30, 2025, when the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster hits the shelves. You can find pre-order options listed below.

Currently, there doesn’t appear to be any pre-order bonuses for those who decide to commit early to The Ivalice Chronicles. However, you’ll want to choose carefully to avoid unexpected costs, particularly concerning the collector’s box, which can be a bit complicated.
The standard edition is perfect if you simply want to enjoy the game upon its release for $49.99. If you’re interested in additional in-game content, you can opt for the deluxe edition for just $10 more. Pre-orders for both editions are live on PlayStation and Xbox, with links provided below. Pre-orders for Nintendo and Steam will be available soon and added to this guide.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Collector’s Box
A Confusing Process, As Usual from Square Enix
There is a premium, collector’s edition of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, but don’t expect a straightforward pre-order experience. The standard collector’s box doesn’t include the base game, so you’ll have to add either the standard or deluxe edition to your cart to receive both items together, and Square has assured customers that they will ship together.
This bumps the collector’s box price from $200 to $249.99 if you want it bundled with the game. The collector’s box comes loaded with fun items, including a trio of cute chocobo plushies, a figure of Ramza Beoulve, Zodiac Stone magnets, and more. You can purchase the collector’s box exclusively from the Square Enix store.
