What the fuck kind of shit is this? This is highly disappointing. Even Tactics Ogre Reborn had all the content from the PSP version here and the entire game was basically "remade" and it was MATSUNO who was in charge of this too! Star Ocean 2 R had brand new content in it and Final Fantasy 12 The Zodiac Age had new content too, but they couldn't be bothered to bring back the PSP content? This is lazy as shit. Square Enix, 1 step forward and 3 steps back.SQUARE ENIX | The Official SQUARE ENIX Website

Looks like it won't include the WotL content (Balthier and Luso party members, Onion Knight and Dark Knight jobs)

Square's done this before. The added content that the FF Advance games had aren't on any future versions of the games.

$50 for this.
I don't think so Square.

IIRC the earlier Steam/iOS/Android versions (the ones with the graphics everyone hated) also had that content, but they excluded it from the Pixel Remaster versions.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
This might literally be the most disappointing remaster yet. Partially because the original game was so good, partially because everything they could screw up, they apparently have... and that's just the problems we know about months away from the game even launching.

It has:
+ Full VA
+ Expert difficulty options (this will create new gameplay)
+ FFXVI's 'State of the Realm' feature (people love this)
+ New gameplay changes
+ 50 team slots (large increase)
+++ NPCs don't vanish from the story when recruited
+ Modern PC release meaning mod support should be coming ala FFIX/FFVII/etc with custom front-end launchers so you can tweak the game how you like.
I dunno, it's definitely got some merit to it.

How so? Even if it doesn't have everything I would have wanted in a remaster, there's still a lot of meat on this bone.

What is here that is worth $50 when you can get the ps1 version on ps3 for $10 or just emulate it for free? I don't think even the WOTL version costs as much.

Native PC support, better QoL, more story stuff, full voice acting, harder difficulty.

This is fine by me. A lot of the core staff that created FFT is working on this, the original team did not work on WotL, and a lot of the changes presented within it do not align with their vision for the game. If they feel it is necessary to cut that content out of this, then they know better than me in so far as how this game was intended to be played.

For $50? Lol.
I can name several games that give harder difficulty dlc for free btw

Yes. Do I wish it was cheaper? Of course. I've played the original and WotL for many hours over decades. I want something different.
Value is subjective. You do you.

I would've 100% wanted the War of the Lions stuff and even with other changes, the game feels incomplete without it... for me at least.
More subjectively, the visuals are putrid.

I'm not sure how that qualifies as screwing everything up, but your criticisms are valid.

I don't really care about Luso and Balthier being out. They were really out of place in WotL and TBH it's probably a better game without them.
I wish they kept the new jobs though
Same deal with the FF pixel remasters not including all the bonus content and extra dungeons from other releases. I think that's reasonable.
Extra story from Matsuno too though:
Q: The game features additional conversations, too. What can fans expect from these, and why did you add them to the game?
A: Yasumi Matsuno, the original writer-director, has added brand-new character conversations for this version. Since the first release, fans have asked for deeper story details. Now that the game is fully voiced, we can express the characters' emotions far more clearly, which lets us explore their personalities and relationships in greater depth.
Because of this, returning players will discover new nuances in familiar characters, while newcomers will follow the story more naturally. Some of these conversations trigger only under very specific conditions, so I hope players experiment and uncover them all!

Matsuno's involvement is being greatly understated. In my opinion, his participation makes the project significantly more appealing and elevates it beyond a simple remaster. The addition of new narrative content and reworked dialogue that complements the VOs can only enhance the original experience, and no one can appreciate the original story better than the author himself. Super hyped for this.

Thought this might be relevant. Weird considering how much square supported it. Maybe Xbox didn't want to pay them for it is all I can guess.

'Final Fantasy Tactics' says publishers just don't care about the Xbox PC store
After launching several games on Xbox Play Anywhere, Square Enix has passed on XPA for Final Fantasy Tactics. Why?

Yes. While I do like the PSP version content, if Matsuno is coming back to personally craft this new experience, then I'm going to let him cook. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and wait and see. If I play this in September and it sucks, then it is what it is, but I'll give it a good college try first.
I'm confident he's not going to pull some George Lucas hack shit.

Read the whole interview, yeah it seems to be in good hands. Getting more story and character interactions/dialogues might personally be a bit disappointed by a few aspects, but it's the goat of one of my favourite genres so this will be one of my rare day 1 purchases.
Vice has an article about some of the things said in yesterdays Famitsu interview aswell. Hope we get an complete translation of the whole thing soon. They (Vice) also links to this X post:

People are serious use "Matsuno's involvement " as Argument 
Tactic Ogre Reborn , Matsuno also do the same like this FFT remaster and they include all PSP content , has new music from Sakimoto , remake entire gameplay system.
Do i need to mention that FFtactic decision was not made by Matsuno Vision alone ? Gameplay improvement are far more important when it come to remaster and they cant even get Hiroyuki Ito back to advisor the gameplay change or improvement like FF 12 Zodiac Age .
Surprisingly , those 3 game was made under same Division . so you better wish next remaster is handle by them .

I wish they could have reworked the effects and or spells entirely. Part of what drew me to the whole game was being impressed with the summons and spells and wanting to see more. That's a big reason to want a quality sequel, for me.
They keep remastering this one instead of committing to a proper sequel and going all in.

Same. It seems like they're redoing the game from the ground up anyway so they might as well go all out. Judging by the interview, however, it sounds like they wanted to make it look like the original for the most part.

Tactics Ogre Reborn is based on LUCT, a game Matsuno was heavily involved in the development of. FFT TIC is based on the original FFT, Matsuno was not involved in the development process of WotL. Sometimes more content doesn't make a game better. Sure the offer on the table here could be better, but it's not a bad one either.People are serious use "Matsuno's involvement " as Argument

This is also leaning more towards being as faithful to the original game as possible. Tactics Ogre Reborn is not that at all. A lot of changes that neither make it a remake or remaster, but something in between. Its reception in the fan base seems quite mixed. But you can't go wrong with FFT TIC if you stay as true as possible to the original! Which is a masterpiece.
As for Ito, the guy went missing for years, came out of nowhere with Dungeon Encounters, no one bought or cared for it and now he's back in his hole.

No WOTL content is a dealbreaker for me.

Im just bummed that it seems you are stuck using the smear filter graphics to get the new VO and story scenes.
I wish you could use the OG sharp pixel graphics with the new features.

I feel like there's a pretty good chance you can on PC, given there's tons of mods for this type of thing with the Pixel Remasters and Chrono Trigger and other SE ports.

In my opinion it has FANTASTIC story, I even go as far as it best story for entire FF series.

Best Final Fantasy story in the series in terms of character development, character driven plot progression, drama, and tension. One could say that some of the plot devices are a bit cliche, but that's because this game did them before they were cool.

I've rarely seen a game-breaker like Orlandu.

1. It is for people that want more to do , it isnt hurt the original game experience , it give people more option to enjoy the game . Some Cameo content and addition job doesnt turn it to something different . The Voice acting and some balance change make it less faitfulh than original than some extra gameplay . Those argument make no sense .
2. Then should not be 50 $ and same price with those game like TO reborn , FF12 ZA , Romancing Saga 2 R , trial of Mana and Star Ocean 2R . it should be 20$ -30$ like those Pixel remaster .
3. What are u talking about ? Many people buy it and enjoy it . It get more traffic and discussion than Yoko Taro Voice of the card trilogy . It was well recived by critic and JRPG player .
He wont get nerf .
