Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lions is an epic combat adventure set in the Final Fantasy universe. Re-enter the world of Ivalice and experience a land of imaginative artistic design that provides a sumptuous backdrop to a politically charged tale, where two young men endeavor to reshape the course of history.

From the creative minds behind Final Fantasy XII comes an epic combat adventure set in the hugely successful Final Fantasy universe. Re-enter the world of Ivalice and experience a land of imaginative artistic design that provides a sumptuous backdrop to a politically charged tale, where two young men endeavor to reshape the course of history.
When the Lions clash, the land of Ivalice trembles. Have you the strength to wrest a kingdom from the clutches of war – or will this dark act of Ivalice’s history be her last?

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “The strategic gameplay and exciting combat of Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lions is perfectly suited to a handheld system. It’s incredible that such an epic story with beautiful graphics, cutting-edge animation and a captivating score can be squeezed onto such a small disc. Fans of the Final Fantasy series are in for a tactical treat this October."

Sustained by Lord and Light, the twin-headed lion reigns over the kingdom of Ivalice.

A year has passed since the loss of the Fifty Years’ War. The prince, though but two years of age, has ascended the throne, his father having been claimed by sudden malady. Too young to rule, the prince requires a regent, who would be king in all but name. The queen's brother, Duke Larg, had seemed the obvious choice for the regency. However, fearing the influence such an appointment would give the queen, the Council refused to back him. Instead, they appointed the king's younger cousin, Duke Goltanna, as regent.

Duke Goltanna and Duke Larg were both generals who had distinguished themselves during the Fifty Years' War. Duke Goltanna counts as ally the greater part of the aristocracy loyal to the Crown. However, the fallen nobility and free knights left in the aftermath of the Fifty Years' War have aligned themselves with Duke Larg. With Duke Goltanna under the banner of the Black Lion, and Duke Larg under that of the White, the stage is set for what history would one day record as the War of the Lions.
