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 creator Hironobu Sakaguchi (pictured) was the producer and battles were designed by Hiroyuki Ito. The game 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 Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, was released in 2007.

 * Comment, I've linked the Final Fantasy Tactics. Is "The game received critical acclaim to become a cult classic" proper wording? To me, it sounds like something is missing here. Panini!  • 🥪 12:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, and I was having trouble with that wording yesterday. I took out the cult following aspect, please tell me what you think. Z1720 (talk) 13:46, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it could better fit with "following" instead of "classic", and I've added it back in. Support. Panini!  • 🥪 14:02, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
