Final Fantasy Tactics' original director suggested adding branching paths to allow players to recruit specific characters who don't make it otherwise. This article contains spoilers for some characters' fates in Final Fantasy Tactics. Final Fantasy Tactics allows you to build your own squad through a recruitment system, either through going to a local barracks or having certain special characters join your party after specific story moments, and while you can only have four or five members out on the battlefield at once during most missions, you can amass quite an army by the end of the game. However, it sounds like there were almost more within the game's recent remake, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. After 28 years, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles finally makes the JRPG's ending less ambiguous and leaves the door open for a sequel Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles director open to revisiting the series' Game Boy Advance sequels if the remaster does well, but thinks the strategy RPG playerbase is currently a "bit small" Final Fantasy Tactics devs originally considered making a famously powerful character weaker when he levels up because that's how getting old works: "His strength actually becomes lower" There are certain characters throughout the story who feel like they could have been excellent members of the party, and the original Final Fantasy Tactics director Yasumi Matsuno admitted he considered it for the new edition in a post on Twitter (via machine translation). A fan said to Matsuno that they think having access to Izlude's Nightblade class would've been great, to which Matsuno added, " When I was tasked with remastering this game, I suggested that we consider branching out into the game so that players could recruit characters like Miluda and Izlude." However, Matsuno explains that doing so would mean changing the game's structure, making it impossible. He adds that it may have been possible with a larger budget, "but I think that if we were to do that, we should just make a new game." Matsuno also notes that The Ivalice Chronicles director Kazutoyo Maehiro, who "was adamant about remastering the original version," which was another reason this didn't come to pass (which is also why The War of the Lions content isn't included). Final Fantasy Tactics player puts in the grind to prove once and for all that "Chocobos can believe in monster Jesus" and will "leave your party to go find God" if their Faith stat gets too high.
