Overview

• Developers say the release is neither a traditional remake nor a simple remaster, citing returning original staff and added systems that place it between categories.
• Rebuilt from scratch after the original source code was lost, it offers Classic and Enhanced modes, with Classic based on the War of the Lions script and Enhanced adding new voice work, UI changes, and quality-of-life updates.
• New accessibility features include Squire, Knight, and Tactician difficulty settings that can be swapped at any time, and previews highlight a turn-order timeline, faster pacing, cancelable movement, and a quick top-down camera view.
• The team avoided nerfing powerful characters and jobs, making only small usability tweaks to preserve the original balance that longtime players remember.
• The game launches September 30 on Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a free Switch 2 upgrade, an updated opening movie, and a reported day-one patch to restore an original-era trick.
