Final Fantasy Tactics Shishi Sensō (ファイナルファンタジータクティクス 獅子戦争 Fainaru Fantajī Takutikusu Shishi Sensō?, lit. "Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War") is a strategy-based roleplaying game in development by Square Enix for the PlayStation Portable handheld game console. The game is an updated version of Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation video game console.[2]
Shishi Sensō is the second announced game in the "Ivalice Alliance" campaign, a promotion of video games set in the Ivalice fictional world. The first is Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings, a sequel to Final Fantasy XII for the Nintendo DS, and the third is Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Fūketsu no Grimoire.[2]

[edit] Development
Final Fantasy Tactics Shishi Sensō was revealed publicly on December 13, 2006 in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine as a PlayStation Portable port of Final Fantasy Tactics. The magazine stated additions of cel-shaded full motion videos, and extra job classes (mentioning only the Onion Knight).[3] A trailer was later shown at the Jump Festa event on December 16.[4] An official website[1] was announced on the same day, launching on December 17.[5] On December 21, the Japanese Famitsu magazine revealed the addition of an updated soundtrack, showing several unseen screenshots.[6] The official website was updated on December 26 with character information and images for Ramza, Delita, and Ovelia,[7] and again on December 28 with 3 desktop backgrounds and a trailer video.[8]
[edit] Changes from the original
Following the trend of Final Fantasy video games on PlayStation systems, Shishi Sensō will feature full motion video during certain scenes. These videos will be rendered using cel-shading, a technique giving the illusion of hand drawn animation.[6] Because of the PlayStation Portable's screen size, the game features a 16:9 aspect ratio, as opposed to the previous 4:3.[9]
The game will add two new character classes; the "Onion Knight", taken from Final Fantasy III, and the "Dark Knight", which was previously only available to one character, Gafgarion. [6][10] In addition, Shishi Sensō will contain new characters, including Balthier from Final Fantasy XII.[10] Balthier is said to feature an "important role", branded as a heretic in search of the "Cache of Glabados". He joins Ramza (the protagonist) while he searches for his sister, Alma. [11] A wireless multiplayer mode will also be included, as seen in the video shown at Jump Festa and now available on the official site.
