Ivalice faces a struggle over the regency after the king dies, as rival dukes Goltanna and Larg approach conflict. The story follows Ramza, a son of the Beoulve military family, and Delita, his childhood companion, a commoner raised among nobles. Their paths cross the upheaval that becomes the War of the Lions, grounding this tactical RPG in a kingdom divided by ambition and succession.
Battles turn on positioning, terrain and turn order across three-dimensional fields. Party development lets members gain access to different jobs and learn abilities that remain available after a job change. More than 20 jobs and hundreds of abilities offer room to experiment with combinations, while creatures including chocobos can be tamed and led into battle. This makes tactical choices extend from the battlefield to the way a party is assembled and trained.
The game offers enhanced and classic versions, each with a distinct presentation. The enhanced version features fully voiced dialogue and refined gameplay; the classic version combines the graphics and gameplay of the 1997 original with the War of the Lions translation.
