About
The game takes place in the fictional land of Ivalice, where the empires of Archadia and Rozarria are waging an endless war. Dalmasca, a small kingdom, is caught between the warring nations. When Dalmasca is annexed by Archadia, its princess, Ashe, creates a resistance movement. During the struggle, she meets Vaan, a young adventurer who dreams of commanding an airship. They are quickly joined by a band of allies; together, they rally against the tyranny of the Archadian Empire.
What players say
A divisive but increasingly respected entry whose gambit system and MMO-style real-time combat split fans between those who loved automating tactics and those who missed hands-on turn-based control. It feels mature, politically grand, and atmospheric, with a world many call one of Final Fantasy's richest.
