In Ivalice, the Archadian Empire’s conquest leaves the small kingdom of Dalmasca in ruin. Princess Ashe joins the resistance to reclaim her country, while Vaan, a young man who lost his family in the war, dreams of freedom in the skies. Their unlikely alliance frames a sweeping adventure about resistance and fallen royalty, with companions joining their effort to liberate their homeland.
Combat and character development give this role-playing game a distinctive tactical focus: it features a new Zodiac Job system and improved battle mechanics. The adventure also reaches beyond its central conflict with hunts, battles, and mini-games, while New Game Plus and New Game Minus offer additional ways to play. These systems sit alongside a remastered presentation, including HD voicing, remastered music, and a choice between original and re-orchestrated background music.
Its premise, job system, and optional pursuits help explain the kind of experience that player activity represents, without reducing the game to a number.
