Overview
- Square Enix released patch version 1.5.0 for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles on June 17, 2026, publishing full notes on the game's Steam page and drawing attention from creator Yasumi Matsuno.
- The headline feature is New Game+, which lets players start a fresh run carrying over unit levels, item data, and selected progress from a completed playthrough to speed replays and reduce grinding.
- A Zodiac Compatibility function now appears on unit status screens so players can check each character’s zodiac sign and see how that sign affects combat stats such as damage, accuracy, and recovery when paired with other units.
- The patch adds multiple quality-of-life options and settings including Remove All Equipment, Ability Cursor Memory, Maintain Auto-proceed for cutscenes, clearer job unlock info, minor audio adjustments, and overall stability fixes.
- Long-requested War of the Lions exclusives like the Dark Knight and Onion Knight jobs remain absent from the official release, keeping community modding efforts and player expectations focused on whether Square Enix will add that legacy content later.
