Final Fantasy Tactics makes its triumphant return this week with an incredible enhanced edition titled The Ivalice Chronicles. Nearly 30 years since its original release, this title remains one of the greatest tactical RPGs of all time, having earned a fantastic 9/10 in our review. If you haven’t secured your copy yet, Prime members can still snag the Amazon Exclusive Edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 with guaranteed release-day delivery ahead of its September 30th launch. Plus, this Tactics remaster boasts a free Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade, featuring improved graphics and smoother frame rates.
Final Fantasy Tactics Amazon Exclusive Edition
You can preorder this special edition for:
- Nintendo Switch
- PlayStation 5
The Amazon Exclusive Edition for Nintendo Switch and PS5 comes packaged with an awesome double-sided poster. One side features striking character art, while the other displays the handy job class flowchart. Priced at $50, this physical edition costs the same across all retailers, making the Amazon Exclusive a fantastic value while supplies last.
While the poster is included directly in the box rather than being a separate preorder bonus, these Amazon Exclusive Editions often sell out rapidly around launch. Once the initial stock is gone, future batches from Amazon typically won’t include this unique collectible.
For die-hard fans, a Square Enix Store-exclusive Collector’s Box was also available for $200, but it swiftly sold out after preorders opened back in June.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
$50 | Releases September 30
The physical edition of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for Nintendo Switch and PS5 is also available to preorder at other major retailers. However, Amazon is the only one currently offering an additional bonus (the double-sided poster).
While physical editions are exclusive to Nintendo and PlayStation platforms, Final Fantasy Tactics will also launch digitally on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS4. This release strategy—prioritizing physical releases for Nintendo and PlayStation—has become increasingly common for Square Enix.

SOLD OUT
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles also received a lavish Collector’s Box, befitting this all-time classic. Unfortunately, it is now sold out.
Here’s what was included in the Collector’s Box:
- Special Art Box: An intricately designed box featuring character art and a decorative depiction of Ivalice, printed on matte-textured art paper.
- Ramza Beoulve Figure (Akademy Version): A high-quality figure of Ramza with vibrant colors and impressive detail, complete with a base stand.
- Mini Chocobo Plush Set: Adorable miniature plushies of the standard yellow, Black, and Red Chocobos, each with an elastic loop for attaching to backpacks or belts.
- Zodiac Stones Acrylic Magnet Set: A complete set of all 12 Zodiac stones as acrylic magnets.
- Outlying Church Pop-Up Diorama: A faithful 3D pop-up display of the Outlying Church from the game.
- Art Prints: Three framable art pieces printed on glossy polypropylene sheets, featuring Ramza, a world map of Ivalice, and the key art for the standard edition of the remaster.
The Collector’s Box was available on its own or bundled with the game. The box itself was universal, meaning it didn’t feature platform-specific logos, which made sense given that physical editions were not available for Xbox, PS4, or PC.
For those opting for the digital route, Final Fantasy Tactics also offers a digital-only Deluxe Edition that includes the following exclusive in-game items:
- Akademy Blade (Weapon)
- Akademy Beret (Headwear)
- Akademy Tunic (Combat Garb)
- Ring of Aptitude (Accessory)
- Black Equipment for Ramza
- Red Equipment for Ramza
- 10x Phoenix Down
