Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions release details

PSP News | Prepare for your eyes to be glued to your PSP.
The European arm of Square Enix sent out a press release this morning detailing its plans for the upcoming release of Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions for the PSP. The game is now set to launch across all European territories on October 5. Australia and New Zealand will get the game on October the 4th.

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, "Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is a masterpiece for a handheld system. Despite being portable, this is still the same epic Final Fantasy experience that the series is famous for with stunning graphics, classic storytelling and a beautiful score. Fans of the Final Fantasy series are in for a treat this October."

With the end of the Fifty Years' War, a battle over the succession to the throne has begun. The prince, being only two years old at the time of his father's passing, is much too young to rule, therefore a regent must be appointed until the prince is of age. Duke Larg, the prince's uncle had been the obvious choice for many, but fearing backlash, the council instead appointed the king's younger cousin Duke Goltana. 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.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions will feature an epic storyline, massive customisation (22 job classes and 400+ abilities), legenedary Square Enix characters for recruitment on the battlefield, an original soundtrack scored by legendary composer Hiroshi Sakimoto and head to head and cooperative play over ad-hoc wireless connections.
