Mobile gaming is slowly staking its own authentic claim in the gaming industry amidst the seemingly eternal debate concerning whether or not it constitutes “real gaming,” with several\u00a0major franchises<\/a> having jumped in with widely loved and celebrated titles. Gamers and non-gamers alike would be familiar with landmark achievements like Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>, for example.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in particular has taken several shots at getting a foothold on the platform, having amassed a relatively healthy catalog of mobile games, both spin-offs and unique titles. As one of gaming’s most recognized and most successful franchises<\/a>, this shouldn’t come as a shocker.\u00a0But among these titles is an underappreciated gem known as\u00a0Final Fantasy Tactics S,\u00a0<\/em>a game for which information is\u00a0more than a little difficult to come by \u2014 until today. Here’s everything you need to know about it.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Japan Only Release<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Many fans outside of Japan have not heard of this title, and for good reason. Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>never received a release outside of the country.\u00a0This left fans in the United States and other regions with only screenshots and trailers to look at, not to mention the endless speculation.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>New & Unique Jobs<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Jobs, such as the monk from Final Fantasy Tactics<\/em> (featured above),\u00a0have been a staple of many Final Fantasy<\/em> titles<\/a>.\u00a0The flexibility of this system allows players more freedom in playstyle choice by\u00a0providing them an easy escape from the all too common RPG trope of a rigorous class system.\u00a0Final Fantasy Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>chose to take this in full stride and offered over 30 jobs for players to utilize.<\/p>\n

Alongside classic job offerings\u00a0like Red Mage, Dragoon, or Alchemist, there were some particularly unique classes rarely, if ever seen in other games beyond this obscure mobile title. These included imaginative takes such as the Air Samurai, Judgemaster, Piscodemon, and many more besides.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>A Unique, Standalone Title<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While the mobile gaming trend has had an influence on many major franchises,\u00a0many developers simply opt for\u00a0a simple port of their popular titles.<\/a>\u00a0Square Enix did not want to take this path, instead choosing to add a completely new story, gameplay elements, and so on. The intention was to provide even mobile players with a fully fleshed out FF<\/em> experience.<\/p>\n

As one might infer from the title, it was<\/em> based on one of Final Fantasy’s\u00a0<\/em>most beloved and well-received spin-offs \u2014 Final Fantasy Tactics,\u00a0<\/em>which\u00a0holds a Metacritic score of 83%<\/a>. Regarded by many to be the best tactical JRPG ever made, some believe it\u00a0even surpasses Nintendo’s legendary Fire Emblem<\/em><\/a>\u00a0series. Despite this, Square Enix was heavily set on making this mobile\u00a0title different and unique. It contained its own very unique mechanics, all around different gameplay, and as mentioned, unique job titles. It certainly was its own unique item.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Battle System<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Interestingly, combat in Final Fantasy Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>seems as if it was largely hands-off. In fact, it was very much automated. While players could assemble their party and so forth outside of battle, the battles themselves were carried out independent of player agency, and they were actually afforded the option to skip to the conclusion.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Online Based Gameplay<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

At the time of the game’s release, Square Enix had been experiencing a significant degree of\u00a0success with their online-based titles (and obviously command their own considerable corner of the MMO market<\/a> today).\u00a0It comes as no surprise then that\u00a0Final Fantasy Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>had a significant multiplayer component as a selling point.\u00a0The gameplay\u00a0featured\u00a0<\/em>a pretty heavy emphasis\u00a0on its multiplayer aspect, with players joining\u00a0clans\u00a0and competing against other\u00a0clans in online tactical combat.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Pre-Registry Bonus Involving A Familiar Face<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Fans that pre-registered for Final Fantasy Tactics S<\/em>\u00a0received the special character Agrias Oaks. For fans of the mainline Tactics<\/em>\u00a0title<\/a> they will recognize Agrias as a fan favorite, a Lionsguard to the royal family. This character not only has good personal development but also provides players with excellent gameplay options.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Character Design By Ryoma Ito<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The character design for Final Fantasy Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>was led by the legendary Ryoma Ito. Ito is known for leading the character designs for Final Fantasy IX, X<\/em>, and Heroes of Mana<\/em>. Ito’s designs are regarded as being much more lighthearted and upbeat than the typical Final Fantasy<\/em> fare. For this reason Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>had a more whimsical and cartoonish flair to it.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Did Not Last Long<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy Tactics S\u00a0<\/em>only had server support for about a year, lasting from 2013 to 2014.\u00a0It seems that players were none too enthusiastic about this release and did not want to invest their precious time into it. This is unfortunate as the game had an excellent concept and a great team working on it. Square Enix seemed to recognize this quite early on in the game’s life cycle and elected to pull the plug.\u00a0While\u00a0they’ve\u00a0managed to\u00a0turn around such disasters as they did somewhat recently with Final Fantasy XIV<\/em>, there would be no Realm Reborn<\/em> to follow this one, and the game would fall into relative obscurity.<\/p>\n
