GameSpot
A touched-up script and excellent voice acting help the story shine
Subtle but well-done modernizations like difficulty levels and new story chronicle tools
Graphical overhaul looks great and honors the original look
Including a (mostly) faithful original version is a nice archival touch
Character portraits look rough in places
No original translation or War of the Lions classes keeps it from feeling truly definitive

Nintendo Life
Excellent graphical and gameplay enhancements delicately implemented
Core turn-based combat is as good as ever, and still best-in-genre level stuff
Story is standout strong for the genre, full of emotion, twists and turns
QoL changes make for a far more approachable game
Perfect for portable play
Top-notch voice-acting
War of the Lions content gets shelved, which is a big shame
The soundtrack, while brilliant, hasn't seen any changes, which feels like a missed opportunity

TheSixthAxis
A definitive edition of a much-loved classic
An incredible story with a fantastic soundtrack
Deep and interesting battle mechanics
Plenty of quality-of-life upgrades to modernise the game
The camera is admittedly annoying
The graphics look dated, even once remastered
It?s not very friendly to new players

Shacknews
Final Fantasy Tactics stands at the peak of Square Enix mountain
Under the hood adjustments and difficulty settings are great
Good voice acting and sensible script adjustments
Classic mode uses a script from a different version that isn't represented otherwise
Ugly visual filter you can't turn off in Enhanced; no CRT filter in either version
Separation between versions is awkward

In-depth job system that offers loads of creative freedom
Superb voice acting that elevates the immersion
Artificial pixel upscaling can be visually off-putting
Lack of additonal Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions content

Well Played
The voice cast grounds the story's delivery and characters
As a result, one of Final Fantasy?s best stories gets the love it deserves
Challenging and deep tactical gameplay
Continues the trend of immaculate in-game encyclopedias
Freely adjustable difficulty
The isometric spaces make for some fabulously theatrical stages
Poor isometric visibility during combat
Critical path fights are plagued by trial-and-error scenarios
The grind, even on the easiest difficulty, may still be off-putting to contemporary players
Sometimes the combat interface fights back and is missing crucial controls
