Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy Tactics is a strategy role - playing game for the Sony PlayStation . It combines elements of the " Final Fantasy " series within the tactical gameplay , the first of its kind in the series . Ten years after it was released , an updated version was made for the PlayStation Portable , called Final Fantasy Tactics : The War of the Lions . This version was also ported for mobile platforms . Gameplay . Battles are fought on a map divided into a grid where units can move about , and actions can only be executed within a certain range . Obstacles , terrain types , and elevation create further strategic elements . Each unit is allotted one move and one action per turn . Order of turns is determined by an " Active - Time " like system , a unit ' s Charge Time filling a bar and deciding when they get to act . Spells also have charge times and once cast , will go off when the spell ' s charge time hits 100 . An action ' s chance of success is best when attacking an opponent from the rear and is least likely to succeed in frontal assaults . Characters in the game , including the players ' , are assigned zodiac signs , and opposing pairs are especially effective against each other . For instance a male Pisces and a female Virgo ( such as Milleuda ) can inflict massive damage to each other , where as a male Pisces and a male Virgo ( such as Wiegraf ) will not deal much damage to each other . Job system . " Final Fantasy Tactics " uses many classes from previous " Final Fantasy " games , although the localization of the game ' s original PlayStation version might have caused some of this to be lost in the translation . The White Mage job was translated as Priest , and the Black Mage job as Wizard , for instance , but this was changed for the PSP version . As each human character develops , they gain experience to improve their overall level . Characters also gain Job Points ( JP ) , which level up jobs . As a character gains more experience in various jobs , they gain access to other , more advanced or specialized jobs . Some jobs , like Arithmetician and Mime , require invested time and experience in several jobs , and require mastery of others to be truly effective . Once learned , skills and job - specific commands can be used even after a character switches jobs , though a penalty may be applied . The party can also recruit creatures like chocobos and various monsters , and although they also level up , they do not gain jobs or skills . Two new generic jobs , Onion Knight and Dark Knight , were added to " War of the Lions " version . Multiplayer . Multiplayer is a new feature added to " The War of the Lions " , in which two players can choose to play together using Ad Hoc Mode . The two modes of play available to the player are Melee and Rendezvous . Multiplayer is the only way players can obtain exclusive equipment like the Onion equipment . The mobile version has no multiplayer option . Melee features two players facing off against each other and can be accessed by selecting " Melee " at a tavern . The player can then choose to host or join a battle . If the player hosts a battle they will be prompted to choose rules for it . The rules include map selection ( only locations the player has visited can be chosen ) , time limit , action limit , whether special controls should be on or off , trap placement , number of traps , and whether Arithmeticks should be allowed or not . After setting the rules the battle will begin and proceed like a normal battle . If special controls are turned on , there will be certain situations that differ from regular battle . The player can Knockback an opponent by pressing before landing an attack , and if the probability of hitting an opponent with the attack command is close to fifty percent , the two players will lock weapons . When this happens both players must tap as much as they can , and the player who gains the upper hand will follow with an attack . If the player lands on a trap they will can disarm it by pressing a series of buttons . After the battle the player can choose treasure based on their performance and their characters will retain the JP , job levels , and items obtained during the battle . Cooperative play can be accessed by selecting " Rendezvous " at a tavern . The player will then select the mission , which is exclusive to cooperative play , that they want to attempt to complete with a partner . The battles in cooperative play function the same way that they do in single player mode . The players will be given an objective and will place their units on the battlefield . A Rendezvous mission can be attempted as many times as the player wants and the player ' s characters will retain all JP , job levels , and items obtained during their battle . If the players achieve their objective they will be rewarded with treasure based on their performance . Synopsis . Setting . Ivalice is a medieval kingdom that is suffering the aftereffects of the Fifty Years ' War . Ivalice is divided along class lines : great noble families , such as House Beoulve , rule over masses of peasants , lords ruling over provinces as their personal fiefs , while the monarchy is weaken by intrigue . The real power in Ivalice is the Church of Glabados , based around the divinity of Saint Ajora Glabados , with its military arm being the Temple Knights . Using manipulation the church is pulling the strings to create disorder in Ivalice and to defeat the secular powers . Two independent armies , the Order of the Northern Sky led by Prince Larg — brother of Queen Louveria — and the Order of the Southern Sky led by Duke Goltanna , are rival forces . They fight for control of the monarchy , hoping to take control of King Ondoria ' s child successor to use as a puppet to rule Ivalice . The king has two children , his teenage adopted half - sister , Princess Ovelia , and the young Prince Orinus . The princess , off in the Orbonne Monastery , is targeted by forces of the Southern Sky ' s Order . Ramza Beoulve , a sellsword under the greedy Goffard Gaffgarion , is hired to protect her , working with Ovelia ' s bodyguards , led by Agrias Oaks . The mercenaries and the bodyguards defeat the forces sent by the Northern Sky , but the princess is captured by Delita Heiral , Ramza ' s childhood friend . When Ramza spots Delita again , he reminisces of the time that led to Delita ' s disappearance and Ramza ' s casting off his family name . Characters . Below is a list of characters who become permanent party members based on the chronology unless dismissed by the player ( except Ramza Beoulve ) . Below is a list of characters who may become permanent party members , if the player completes optional battles : In the " War of the Lions " versions , two more characters were introduced . Both are playable characters from other games in the Ivalice Alliance project . Story . Arazlam Durai , a historical scholar researching the past , comes upon his ancestor ' s writings , the Durai Papers , which tell the truth about the legendary hero , Delita Heiral . The papers suggest that the true hero was a noble named Ramza Beoulve , whose role has since been lost to history . Ramza , who has cast aside his nobility and joined a mercenary group , comes to Orbonne Monastery with the rest of the group , led by Goffard Gaffgarion . The monastery , where Princess Ovelia Atkascha is residing , is attacked by several Northern Sky knights dressed as Southern Sky knights , and Gaffgarion ' s group , hired to defend the princess , helps fight them off . During the attack Delita slips in and kidnaps the princess . Agrias Oaks , the princess ' s bodyguard , joins Ramza ' s group in hunting Delita down . Ramza , who has not seen Delita in years and thought him dead , is shocked , and cannot fathom his intentions . He thinks back on the times the both of them used to fight together in the Order of the Northern Sky . Chapter 1 : The Meager . A year ago Ramza and Delita were childhood friends and cadets in the Order of the Northern Sky . Ramza was the third son of the noble House Beoulve , while Delita was a commoner working in the house along with his sister , Tietra Heiral . The two studied at the Akademy in the Magick City of Gariland and were best of friends . Due to Ivalice ' s defeat in the Fifty Years ' War , the soldiers returning home could not be paid . This created widespread dissatisfaction with the nobility and ignited revolts across Ivalice , like the Corpse Brigade ' s uprising in Ramza ' s home duchy of Gallionne . When Corpse Brigade forces attack Gariland , the students of the Akademy are sent to fight them , and Ramza and Delita lead their group to victory . Afterward they return to House Beoulve ' s seat of power , Eagrose Castle . Ramza ' s party comes upon a lone squire surrounded by Corpse Brigade forces . They rescue him and learn his name is Argath Thadalfus , a noble servant of the Marquis Elmdore , who has been kidnapped by the Corpse Brigade , a rebel group that seeks to usurp the aristocracy . Argath states his case to Ramza ' s elder true - born brother , the cold Dycedarg Beoulve , co - ruler of the house with his brother Zalbaag since the death of their father Barbaneth . Despite Argath ' s impudent manner , Dycedarg says he ' ll do what he can , though he orders Ramza to stay in the castle . While Ramza visits his younger sister , Alma Beoulve , Zalbaag drops a hint to Ramza about the whereabouts of the Marquis , suggesting that he rescue him . Ramza ' s group goes to the Merchant City of Dorter where they spot the Corpse Brigade ' s leader , Wiegraf Folles , but Brigade forces halt their pursuit . Argath captures the enemy leader and beats him until he reveals the marquis ' s location . They travel to the Sand Rat Sietch , where they find Wiegraf killing his own officer , Gustav Margriff . Wiegraf says he objects to the dishonorable tactic of kidnapping , and offers to trade the marquis ' s life for his own , and Ramza agrees . With Elmdore safe , Ramza returns to Eagrose to find an angry Dycedarg . Elmdore was a supporter of the Order of the Southern Sky , and Dycedarg was pulling Gustav ' s strings to knock off a political foe . While Ramza ' s party moves to attack a Corpse Brigade group led by Wiegraf ' s sister , Milleuda Folles , a Brigade force led by Gragoroth Levigne strikes Eagrose Castle , injuring Dycedarg and almost taking Alma hostage . When Zalbaag rescues his sister , Gragoroth grabs Alma ' s lowborn friend Tietra instead , thinking she is noble - born . Dycedarg promises not to attack the Brigade while they hold Tietra , but Argath , never a friend to the peasant class , expresses his disapproval , causing an argument with Delita . Ramza sides with his childhood friend and forces Argath out of his party . Ramza and Delita leave to rescue Tietra and share a moment watching the sunset over Mandalia Plains . Looking for Delita ' s sister , they come upon Milleuda again . Though they do not see her as an enemy , she refuses to back down and they are forced to kill her . They find Wiegraf ' s group holding Tietra in a windmill in the Fovoham Windflats . Wiegraf wants to free her , but is forced to go out to fight Ramza with his chocobo , Boco , so his allies can escape . He is beaten and flees , abandoning his revolution to its inevitable defeat . Gragoroth , fearing for his life , steals away Tietra and makes for Ziekden Fortress , with Ramza ' s group following . Despite Dycedarg ' s promise not to attack , Zalbaag leads an assault on the fort and orders his new soldier , Argath , to shoot at Gragoroth , who is holding Tietra at knifepoint . Argath does so without hesitation and mortally wounds them both . Seeing this , Delita attacks Argath with Ramza ' s aid . They kill their old ally and betray the Order of the Northern Sky , but Gragoroth has filled the fort with gunpowder and sets it alight . Ramza thinks Delita killed in the explosion and abandons the Order and his family to become a sellsword . Chapter 2 : The Manipulative and the Subservient . After telling his story , Ramza ' s party , along with Agrias and Gaffgarion , pursue Delita across Ivalice . They find him and the princess at the Zeirchele Falls , surrounded by hostile Northern Sky forces . A Northern Sky knight tells Gaffgarion to attack Ramza and he complies , revealing himself a traitor working for Dycedarg . Delita fights on Ramza ' s side , and tells him afterward that he was trying to rescue Ovelia from the Northern Sky by leading her to the Southern Sky stronghold at Fort Besselat . He leaves , letting Ramza ' s party take Ovelia to safety at Lionel Castle , held by the supposedly neutral Church of Glabados . On the way , the party meets a machinist named Mustadio Bunansa , who is running from assassins sent by the Baert Trading Company , a crime syndicate specializing in human trafficking and opium smuggling . Mustadio joins Ramza ' s party , thinking he will find help at Lionel . They meet Alphonse Delacroix , second - in - command of the church , who offers refuge to Ovelia and her knight , Agrias , and reveals vast knowledge about Mustadio ' s plight . He knows that Mustadio carries the Taurus auracite , an artefact of great power related to the legendary Zodiac Braves , twelve knights said to have led by Saint Ajora to defeat an ancient demon . The cardinal promises to aid Mustadio against the trading company . Ramza and Mustadio make for the Clockwork City of Goug where Mustadio ' s father , Besrudio , is held hostage by the company . Mustadio leaves Ramza briefly to rescue his father , but is captured himself . Ludovich Baert , head of the trading company , threatens Ramza and demands he give up the Taurus stone , but Mustadio is prepared and tells Ramza to give him a fake . The company believes it but attacks anyway , and Ramza ' s party defeats them and saves Mustadio and his father . Baert returns to his master , none other than the cardinal , who , not willing to suffer failure , destroys his conspirator using an unknown magick . Gaffgarion returns to his employer , Dycedarg , to report that he failed to kill Ovelia . Dycedarg sends Gaffgarion to fight Ramza , apparently working with the cardinal and unbothered by the idea of ordering his brother ' s execution . The cardinal blocks Ramza ' s route , forcing them to travel by ship to the Port City of Warjilis to rescue Ovelia . They run into Delita , who tells Ramza to stay out of the affairs , saying he is going against the current of history , though what he means is unknown to Ramza . They find Agrias fighting the cardinal ' s soldiers in the Balias Swale . She says she has escaped from the cardinal who plans to execute the princess . Ramza ' s party rushes to save her , but Agrias has been misled and they find only Gaffgarion and his troops . Ramza kills him at the gates of Lionel Castle , then goes to confront the cardinal himself . Delita , working with the cardinal and an unknown man , takes Ovelia to the Order of the Southern Sky . The man reveals Ovelia is not really the princess , but a lowborn impostor placed to create strife among the aristocracy , as the real princess had died as a baby . While weeping at his sister ' s gravestone over his failure to protect her or bring down the nobles , Wiegraf Folles is confronted by Loffrey Wodring of the church ' s Knights Templar . Loffrey promises Wiegraf that , if he were to join the organization , he would help destroy the tyrannical nobles . Wiegraf takes his offer . Ramza enters the cardinal ' s demesne and challenges Delacroix who uses the power of the Scorpio auracite to transform into a Lucavi demon called Cúchulainn , the Impure . Ramza ' s party defeats it and it explodes with dark energy , leaving the auracite behind . Ramza realizes that the auracites are not holy relics of the Zodiac Braves , but something far more sinister . With the Southern Sky claiming Ovelia as the rightful queen and the Northern Sky holding up Prince Orinus as king , Ivalice is divided by the civil war that becomes known as the War of the Lions . Marquis Elmdore , now fighting for the Southern Sky , dies in battle , and Queen Louveria is captured by her enemies and imprisoned in Fort Besselat . Delita rises in the ranks of the Southern Sky by exposing a plot and killing a lord who betrayed Duke Goltanna . Lords bleed their people dry even as the kingdom is beset by famine and drought . Chapter 3 : The Valiant . Ramza and his party go to speak with his brothers , who are occupying the Royal City of Lesalia along with their Northern Sky army . On their journey they meet Orran Durai , adopted son of the Order of the Southern Sky ' s fiercest commander , Count Cidolfus Orlandeau , known as the " Thunder God " for his strength in battle . Orran is threatened by a group of bandits , and is thankful when Ramza ' s party saves him , but continues on his own afterwards . Ramza reaches Lesalia and tries to convince Zalbaag that someone is orchestrating the war , but Zalbaag refuses to listen . As Ramza prepares to leave the city , inquisitors from the church confront him , led by Zalmour Lucianada . Ramza has been branded a heretic for his role in the death of Cardinal Delacroix . He refuses to cooperate and they attempt to take him by force , but Ramza , his party and his younger sister Alma defeat the confessor . Ramza intends to go to the Orbonne Monastery to find the auracite there before the church can . Though Ramza fears for her safety , Alma demands to go with him . When Ramza ' s party reaches Orbonne , the Knights Templar are already there , led by Wiegraf Folles and Isilud Tengille . Elder Simon , the monk who runs the monastery and a tutor to Alma , is injured , but offers what help he can . Isilud retreats by capturing Alma as leverage . Wiegraf is mortally wounded , but the Aries auracite in his hand , given to him by the Knights Templar , speaks to him , promising to save him from death . Wiegraf takes the offer , transforms into the Lucavi demon Belias , the Gigas , and teleports away . Before Ramza leaves , a barely - living Elder Simon gives him a book he has spent his life translating : the Scriptures of Germonique . Germonique is the disciple who supposedly betrayed Saint Ajora , who is held by the Glabados Church to be a child of the gods , and his account is nothing like the story Ramza knows . The scriptures claim that Ajora was not a holy man , but a revolutionary working to undermine the Holy Ydoran Empire , and Germonique was a spy for the empire who sold Ajora out . Ajora had no connection to the Zodiac Braves , but did search for the auracites for an unknown reason . With this artefact in hand , potentially disastrous for the church , Ramza goes to rescue his sister . The Order of the Southern Sky places Delita in charge of Princess Ovelia ' s protection and he begins to soften up to her . Delita promises to protect her and states his ambition to destroy the corrupt powers that rule Ivalice and rebuild it with a new order — all for Ovelia ' s benefit , he claims . Delita saves Ovelia from an assassination attempt by Northern Sky agents , bringing her closer to him . Ramza finds Rapha Galthena being chased by her brother , Marach , and a group of Barrington ' s men . Rapha is a deserter from Khamja , a group of assassins under the command of the powerful Grand Duke Gerrith Barrington , who has captured Isilud along with the auracite and Isilud ' s captive , Alma . Rapha fled from her master after he raped her , but never told her brother . Seeing that Rapha is in danger , Ramza helps her and she joins his party . Marach survives the battle and , speaking through a toad , tells Ramza that if he fights the Grand Duke , his sister will be killed . At Barrington ' s stronghold of Riovanes Castle , Folmarv Tengille , leader of the Knights Templar , Isilud ' s father and the mysterious man who told the princess she is an impostor , meets with the Grand Duke in negotiations . Wiegraf is with him . Barrington attempts to use his leverage against Folmarv to create an alliance with the Templars , whom he considers the strongest power in Ivalice . Folmarv is not interested in compromise and orders Wiegraf away to settle his score with Ramza . Folmarv transforms into a Lucavi , kills everyone in the room , and fatally wounds his own son for his weakness . Alma escapes from her cell and runs into Isilud just before his death . After their conversation , Folmarv returns , human again . He senses that Alma is to be the new host for his " master " and , hoping to complete his plot , carries her away . Outside , Rapha and Marach leave to finish their personal feud . Within the castle , Wiegraf attacks Ramza alone . Though Ramza tries to reason with him , the former leader of the Corpse Brigade announces he no longer cares for the peasant revolution or his sister ' s death , and only wishes to bring destruction to humanity . Ramza defeats Wiegraf ' s human form in a one - on - one duel , and Wiegraf turns into the Lucavi Belias just as Ramza ' s party arrives . Together they destroy it . On the roof of Riovanes Castle , Rapha confronts the Grand Duke . Barrington admits to raping Rapha , making Marach realize he has been fighting on the wrong side . Barrington kills Marach and Ramza ' s party arrives , along with the Marquis Elmdore and two assassins , Celia and Lettie . Ramza remembers that the marquis had died in battle and realizes that Elmdore too must be a host for a Lucavi . Despite the debt he owes Ramza for saving his life years ago , Elmdore and his servants attack , but retreat when one of them is near defeat . Rapha stands over her brother ' s corpse with an auracite in hand and hears a voice from the stone . Ramza fears that it will take control of Rapha like it did Wiegraf , but instead of an evil power it returns Marach to life with a holy light , and the Galthena siblings join Ramza ' s party . The slaughter becomes known in taverns across Ivalice as The Horror of Riovanes . Chapter 4 : In the Name of Love . As the war continues , both sides suffer from the strain , knowing that , if the war does not end soon , neither side will retain enough power to rule Ivalice . The Orders amass their forces near Fort Besselat , hoping to end the war . The Order of the Southern Sky is especially weakened , as many lords only continue to serve Duke Goltanna due to the example of the Thunder God . Though Orran suggests to his father that he should leave the Order , Count Orlandeau is too bound by his code of honor to betray his oath to Goltanna . Ramza seeks the aid of his father ' s closest ally , the very same Orlandeau , at Zeltennia Castle . During the journey , Ramza ' s party is threatened by Folmarv ' s daughter , the Templar Meliadoul Tengille . Because she knows nothing of the Lucavi , she thinks Ramza ' s band killed her brother at Riovanes . Ramza forces her to retreat but cannot convince her of his innocence . At Zeltennia , Ramza does not find the Thunder God , only Delita , who gives up the church ' s plot . He is to kill Duke Goltanna and Count Orlandeau while another takes out the heads of the Northern Sky . With both sides incapacitated , the church would take control of Ivalice , using the auracites and the legend of the Zodiac Braves to sway the populace to follow their orders . Zalmour appears outside , hunting for the heretic that escaped him at Lesalia , and though Delita is working for the church , he briefly betrays it by helping Ramza kill the confessor . Afterwards , Delita leaves Ramza , now manipulating him too in service of his grand ambition . Ramza ' s group runs into a Templar named Barich Fendsor , who has sabotaged the Battle of Fort Besselat by devastating both sides with Mossfungus poison . Ramza defeats Barich and rushes to the battle , where his party opens the sluice gates , flooding the battlefield . When the Mossfungus is released , neither army is seriously affected , but the flood prevents an end to the War of the Lions . The real warfare takes place behind the lines . Duke Goltanna arrests Count Orlandeau as a traitor , following a false tip given by Delita , and names Delita the new commander of the Southern Sky . Delita uses the duke ' s trust as an opportunity to murder him , and then kills a fake Thunder God to silence the church while the real Count Orlandeau joins Ramza ' s party . On the other side , Dycedarg uses the confusion created by the Mossfungus poison as a chance to murder Duke Larg . Zalbaag watches the betrayal without taking action , but what he sees disturbs him . Before Larg dies , he mentions that Dycedarg murdered his father , a shock to Zalbaag ' s ears . Zalbaag no longer trusts his brother . Following a lead that Alma is in Limberry Castle , Ramza ' s party moves to confront Marquis Elmdore at the seat of his power . Ramza fights through Celia and Lettie and reveals their true forms : Ultima Demon s . Argath , now a powerful undead creature brought back by the marquis , attacks Ramza , and is killed again . They find the marquis in Limberry ' s undercroft , where he reveals that Alma was never there and the entire journey was a trap , and transforms into the Lucavi Zalera , the Death Seraph . Meliadoul Tengille , who happened to be there at the time , sees Elmdore ' s demonic form and joins Ramza ' s side to destroy it . She can no longer deny Ramza ' s story that her father is a Lucavi , and decides to accompany him to end the Lucavi plot . Dycedarg , now the commander of the Northern Sky , is confronted by the Templar Loffrey Wodring , who makes insinuations about Dycedarg ' s guilt in the death of his father , mentioning that those killed by Mossfungus have toadstools growing on their graves . Dycedarg denies everything and as Loffrey leaves , he hands Dycedarg the Capricorn auracite as a show of goodwill from the church . Zalbaag overhears the conversation and checks the grave of the late Barbaneth . Finding the toadstools , he returns to Eagrose , sword in hand . Ramza hears from Meliadoul that Dycedarg has been given an auracite . He rushes across Ivalice to Eagrose and finds his older brothers fighting each other . Dycedarg claims he was doing what was best for House Beoulve . Dycedarg is killed , triggering the auracite in his hand . He turns into Adrammelech , the Wroth , and destroys Zalbaag . Ramza and his party defeat the Lucavi , ending the reign of House Beoulve . At Mullonde , the seat of the church ' s power , the Templars under Folmarv revolt . They capture the High Confessor Marcel Funebris and order him to reveal the location of the Necrohol of Mullonde , a dimension of evil required to revive the master of the Lucavi . Funebris reveals it is in Orbonne , but the Scriptures of Germonique are required to open the door to the rift . Though the Templars promise to save the high confessor ' s life , they fatally wound him . Folmarv and his servants confront Ramza and tell him to give up the scriptures in exchange for Alma . Though he agrees , the Templars do not release her , and instead attack him and are forced to retreat . Folmarv revives Zalbaag as an undead creature and sends him to kill Ramza . Zalbaag begs Ramza to kill him , and Ramza has no other choice . As the party leaves , they find the high confessor , near death from his injuries , who tells them where the Templars are going . Ramza ' s party ventures into the Necrohol , defeats each of the Knights Templar and reaches the Airship Graveyard . Folmarv , the last of the Templars , tries to summon his master using Alma , but cannot . Too few have died ; more sacrifices are needed , the true reason they sought to orchestrate the war in Ivalice . He turns into Hashmal , Bringer of Order , and attacks Ramza and his party to spill their blood , but is defeated . Realizing the only way to revive his master is to make himself the sacrifice , Hashmal digs his claws into his chest and brings Saint Ajora back to life , Alma as his human host . Saint Ajora is divided by Alma within her and Alma is freed . Ajora transforms into Ultima , the High Seraph , the leader of the Lucavi , whose previous human host was Saint Ajora . Though the demon has immense power , Ramza ' s party defeats it before it can bring devastation to Ivalice . As Ultima dies , she unleashes a massive blast of energy that destroys the area , leaving the fate of Ramza ' s party unknown . Orran Durai attends the Beoulve house funeral . Since Ramza is a heretic , and his body was never found , he cannot be given a proper burial . After the service , Orran spots Ramza and Alma riding chocobos away to freedom . Orran writes a history of these events and Ramza ' s role in defeating the Lucavi , but the church senses the danger of his work and brands him a heretic and burns him at the stake . This work becomes the Durai Papers that Orran ' s descendant , Arazlam , uncovers generations later . Delita , now king of Ivalice , comes to his queen , Ovelia , with flowers . She runs at him with a knife and wounds him , out of hatred for being used , but he takes the weapon and kills her . Delita thinks of Ramza , wondering which of them truly succeeded in the end . Although the game ' s ending may have seemed ambiguous , Director Yasumi Matsuno has confirmed that Ramza is alive and went on to have another adventure in a different country . Music . The soundtrack is composed by the duo Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata . The soundtrack spans two discs and 71 tracks , with Sakimoto composing 47 tracks and Iwata the other 24 . Since then , their names have been eponymous to the music composed for game titles related to the Ivalice series . The " Final Fantasy Tactics : The War of the Lions " version retains the music used in the PlayStation version . It also retains the hidden Sound Test feature that was found in the PlayStation Japanese version . When the player starts a " New Game " with the name " PolkaPolka " , it takes the player to the Sound Test menu where the player can listen to the soundtracks for the game , listing its oddly named tracks as well as the composer ' s nicknames . Fan patches . Due to the bad translation of the original PlayStation version , some fans have created a patch which uses the official English script from " Final Fantasy Tactics : The War of the Lions " version with some bugs and glitches fixed by hackers . Ability incantations and graphic novels were re - translated and added by fans because they were omitted in any version of English releases from the Japanese release . The " War of the Lions " version has been criticized for slowdowns during battles and decreased audio quality , most notably when casting spells or using special abilities that require different lighting effects . Patches removing the slowdown have been created for various Sony PlayStation Portable releases by a fan of the game . Releases . " Final Fantasy Tactics : The War of the Lions " .
