Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles gets New Game+: version 1.5.0 is live

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Square Enix’s September 2025 remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, got its version 1.5.0 update in mid-June 2026, almost nine months after release.

The headline addition is New Game+. Once you’ve finished the game, you can start again without giving up your unit levels, item data, jobs, equipment, and the rest of your progress. That makes it a lot easier to jump back into Ivalice with a fully developed roster and get to late-game setups much sooner. Story battles don’t appear to scale to match an overpowered party, though, so some big fights may end up feeling easier than they were meant to.

There are also a handful of genuinely useful quality-of-life changes. You can now check a unit’s status while targeting a tile, use a new Remove All Equipment command, see job unlock requirements more clearly, and keep your camera angle and zoom settings during battle. The patch also puts Zodiac Compatibility on the status screen and adds cutscene auto-proceed, spoken incantation options, and text support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.

If you return to Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles often, this is an update you’ll probably want to install, even with Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions features like Dark Knight and Onion Knight still absent.

Version 1.5.0 for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is available to download now.
