Overview

• Square Enix released the remaster on September 30 across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Switch 2 and Switch.
• The package pairs an Enhanced edition featuring upgraded visuals, full voice acting and variable difficulty settings with a Classic recreation of the PS1 game.
• Developers reconstructed the Classic version because the original PlayStation code no longer exists, preserving the design as closely as possible.
• Critics praise the update as a high-quality revival of a landmark tactical RPG, with Empire calling it “an absolute masterpiece.”
• The release omits the extra classes and guest characters added in the PSP War of the Lions version, though the Enhanced mode brings quality-of-life tweaks like faster enemy turns and clearer on-screen information such as turn order and unit height.
