From today's featured article  Hironobu Sakaguchi, the game's producer, in 2015 Final Fantasy Tactics is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation video game console. Sony Computer Entertainment published the game in Japan on June 20, 1997, and the United States on January 28, 1998. It is the first game of the Tactics series within the Final Fantasy franchise, and the first entry set in the fictional world of Ivalice. The story follows Ramza Beoulve, who is placed in the middle of a military conflict between two noble factions coveting the throne of the kingdom. Production began in 1995 by Yasumi Matsuno, who was the director and writer. Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi (pictured) was the producer and Hiroyuki Ito designed the battles. Final Fantasy Tactics received critical acclaim, garnered a cult following, and has been cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. An enhanced port of the game, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, was released in 2007. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ivalice.)
