Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is adding new dialogue for fan favourite characters in its Enhanced mode, giving the original team the chance to reinsert material that didn’t make the cut the first time around.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a ground-up remake that attempts to emulate the original game, while updating the essentials for modern hardware, such as the visuals. Unfortunately, this remake won’t include any of the extra content from The War of the Lions PSP port, which means fewer jobs and battles than that version of the game.

Nintendo fans have stumbled across a mysterious LinkedIn post that claims a Switch 2 SRPG is being developed, one likely tied to a big franchise.
It turns out that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will have more content than originally realized. In an interview on the official PlayStation Blog, the developers revealed that new character dialogue is being added, but only in one mode.
Final Fantasy Tactics Characters Are Getting More Dialogue
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles director Kazutoyo Maehiro revealed that certain NPCs who join the party fully will get extra dialogue in battle. This also includes an infamous villain, whose motives will be explored more. This writing was intended for the original Final Fantasy Tactics, but didn’t make it into the game.
“When sending them into specific battles, characters like Agrias, Cid, and Mustadio speak considerably more. Some of these dialogues aren’t just exchanges between characters, but also complement the narrative, or touch on the heart of the story, such as why war veteran Marquis Elmdore chose the path he did.”
In the original Final Fantasy Tactics, certain characters were a major part of the story, and then the player had the chance to hire them as a party member. As they could be dismissed at any time, the developers gave them way fewer dialogue scenes, as there was a chance that the player would dump them.
Characters like Agrias and T.G. Cid are some of the most popular in the game, so it will be exciting to hear what new insights they bring. It’ll also be interesting to see if Cloud Strife gets more dialogue, as he doesn’t do much after getting hired.
