It’s been a year today since Square Enix released the fantastic Ivalice Chronicles remake for Final Fantasy Tactics, and I know a lot of you out there have played it because I’ve seen the traffic data for our Tactics coverage over that time.

But, there are still so many people out there who haven’t picked up this phenomenal game yet, so we want to spur you along to purchase and play by releasing our new coverage, with a completely new standalone version to choose from in the FFT section of Caves of Narshe. If this is your first time visiting that section, you will see that we default you right into that game version, but if you’ve been through it before all you need to do is use our version switcher.

We built the new data out using our own playthroughs and quite a lot of in-house data mining to make sure we’re getting things just right. It’s got all of the detail of our old coverage and then some. We were even able to make some additions to the coverage for older versions along the way! So, as Ivalice Chronicles turns one, please enjoy our new content starting at day zero and beyond, and thanks as always for visiting us and trusting us to help you play our classic games.

Once again, CoN has popped up just a little bit late to the party but with full CoN verve; we’ve just launched full coverage for the Pixel Remaster versions of all four of the pixelly games we host. So, if you’re a player here for the original Final Fantasy, or the three games that originated in the 16-bit era (Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI if you’re a bit behind), those games are now fully here for you.

If you’re visiting the site for the first time today, all of that game coverage will default to the Pixel Remaster version for you, as we know that first-time players are likely coming to us via those games; if you’re a long-time CoN visitor, all you need to do is switch your version to Pixel Remaster for each game as you need it.

While we were in there, of course, we found and fixed a number of bugs that we found along the way, so no matter what release you’re playing, you’re going to have a better experience with us now. Will we have fixed more bugs than we created? Well, we certainly hope so, but if you find that’s not the case, please reach out on socials, Discord, or the forums as always. Thanks so much for your continued support of Caves of Narshe and please share our new content out to all your friends and networks.
