Naoki Yoshida, known as ‘Yoshi-P’, has hinted at the possibility of a new Final Fantasy Tactics game in a recent interview. With the team having a lot of staff who worked on previous games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy 12, the idea of a new Tactics title seems to be on their radar. Yoshida expressed that it might be about time for a new entry in the series, considering the love for Tactics storytelling and the nostalgia it brings.
The last proper entry in the Final Fantasy Tactics series was back in 2007 with Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift for Nintendo DS. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new installment on PC or even a basic port of the original game on platforms like Steam. Despite the fervent wishes of fans, there has been no concrete development on this front. The desire for a new Tactics game has only intensified over the years, making Yoshida’s hint all the more significant.
Final Fantasy Tactics, much like Final Fantasy XII and parts of Final Fantasy 14, is set in the world of Ivalice. This gritty and politically tense medieval setting has captivated fans for years, making it the perfect backdrop for a new Tactics game. The similarities between the world of Ivalice and the upcoming Final Fantasy 16 have only fueled speculation and excitement among fans. The potential for rich storytelling and engaging gameplay in a new Tactics title set in Ivalice is undeniable.
As Final Fantasy fans continue to bask in the glory of recent releases like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the call for a new Tactics game grows louder. The nostalgia and love for the series are undeniable, and the time seems ripe for a revival. With Naoki Yoshida acknowledging the desire for a new Tactics game, fans can only hope that their wishes will soon be fulfilled. The need for a new Final Fantasy Tactics game is stronger than ever, and it seems that the time is finally approaching for this long-awaited dream to become a reality.
