Square Enix Issues Patch Restoring Buried Items in Final Fantasy Tactics New Game+

The July 13 update fixes buried-item discovery for New Game+ but only applies to New Game+ saves started after the patch.

Overview

  • Square Enix released version 1.5.1 for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles on Monday to address problems introduced by last month's New Game+ rollout.
  • The patch restores buried items so they can be found during New Game+ runs, and the change is applied only to New Game+ save files created after the 1.5.1 update.
  • Console releases are labeled 1.51/1.051 and the download is small, indicating this is a corrective update rather than new content.
  • The update also includes minor Traditional Chinese text fixes and unspecified small issue resolutions while keeping the broader New Game+ features and UI quality-of-life changes from the prior patch intact.
  • Players who want buried items available must start a new New Game+ after installing the patch because existing New Game+ saves will not receive the fix, which may prompt some players to restart their runs to regain missing items.
