Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions has arrived for iPhone/iPod touch!

Released as the Final Fantasy series' first tactical RPG in 1997, Final Fantasy Tactics on Playstation went on to sell over 2.4 million copies worldwide. The game grew in popularity upon its re-release in 2007 as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP with added features such as new movies, scenarios and Jobs.

Now, in 2011 the game has finally arrived for the iPhone/iPod touch! You can enjoy the game whose story gave life to the world of Ivalice, and whose high strategy battles bring tactical games to a whole new level.

■Game features - Intuitive Touch Screen Controls The complex tactical game can be effortlessly and intuitively controlled by simply tapping units and menus. Gone is the old method of switching fixed map views - you can now rotate, move and change the size of maps as you please by sliding and pinching.

- Improved Loading Times Loading times have been improved to get you into the action quicker than ever. What's more, you can even skip certain cut scenes.

Awful
     
by TimeWastes · July 22, 2024

Playing this game with touch screen controls is like writing an essay with your feet. Its a huge headache and it's the terrible war of the lions version on top of that.

We need controller support
     
by Dee BEE 1986 · May 14, 2025

Not being able to use a Bluetooth/PS controller with this is a HUGE negative. Would be a 5* if I could use a controller with it. Come on, devs, it can’t be that hard.

Missing so much

I can’t turn off the tips - the game shows an extra screen every click that says it can be turned off in the options. The option doesn’t exist…

The best iOS version of all the FF series.
     
by Yes no yes no yes no · February 9, 2025

I’ve bought all of the FF games on iOS and only this game and FF7 don’t crash often, lag, or have issues with saving/loading your progress when taking a hiatus. Fantastic story and the additional optional battles that weren’t on the original present a decent challenge.

Your UI for the game is trash get a real job you Bum

No controller support
     
by Gsilver0 · March 13, 2025

A game like this just isn't playable without being able to use a controller. Play something else.

Download this game or else.

I love this game so much since the first day I downloaded this Final fantasy so download this game right now or else

fix the controls and save
     
by L33tspock · May 27, 2024

If the ap is minimized for over 30 min the app closes completely, if your in the middle of a long fight and cant save you have to restart it constantly. very annoying. auto save would be help or screenshot type save would help a ton. the touch controls dont work well on this platform and need to be redesigned. the sliding method doesnt select adjacent tiles but selects adjacent visible tiles unlike the original. almost as if the slide based control is programmed off of the touch based controls. needs a lot of work, happy to play a portable version of one of my favorite games but id be happier using an emulator and a touch based game pad.
