Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles received a major update 1.5.0 on June 17, 2026, across consoles and PC. The patch introduced a New Game+ mode, letting players carry over units and inventory from a completed save and grind levels up to 100 [1, 2].
The New Game+ also allows farming multiple sets of the rare Genji Armor, which was previously limited to one per playthrough [1, 2]. Additional improvements include a Zodiac Compatibility explanation feature, an option to instantly remove all gear from a unit, and quality-of-life options such as Maintain Auto-proceed and Ability Incantations Guaranteed [1, 2].
However, the update did not add new difficulty levels or enemy scaling, meaning the challenge remains unchanged for experienced players [1, 2]. Notably, content from the 2007 PSP release Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions remains absent. The remaster continues to exclude additional job classes, extra story scenes, and guest characters like Balthier from Final Fantasy XII [1].
Yasumi Matsuno, the original game director, confirmed on X that New Game+ was a feature he had requested from the start of the remaster project. He said, "New Game+ was a feature I had been requesting since the very beginning of the remaster project" [1].
The update rollout on June 17 marked the latest effort to enhance the remaster while preserving its core gameplay experience [1, 2].
