Final Fantasy Tactics ( ファイナルファンタジータクティクス , Fainaru Fantajī Takutikusu ) is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix ) for the Sony PlayStation video game console . It was released in Japan in June 1997 and in the United States in January 1998. The game combines thematic elements of the Final Fantasy video game series with a game engine and battle system unlike those previously seen in the franchise.
In contrast to other 32-bit era Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy Tactics uses a 3D , isometric , rotatable playing field, with bitmap sprite characters.
