The physical version of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for Nintendo Switch will include a complimentary visual and performance upgrade for the upcoming Switch 2, set for release on September 30. This free `Switch 2 Upgrade Pack` is already available for pre-claim on the eShop. This move is significant given that Square Enix will not be releasing a separate physical edition specifically for Switch 2. Without this free upgrade, dedicated fans would either be limited to the digital version on Switch 2 or play the original Switch edition lacking improved frame rates and graphical enhancements. Furthermore, Switch 2 owners would miss out on an exclusive physical bonus offered via Amazon.
Final Fantasy Tactics Amazon Exclusive Edition
Preorder at Amazon for:
- Nintendo Switch
- PlayStation 5
The Amazon Exclusive Edition, available for both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, comes with a double-sided poster. One side features character artwork, while the other displays the job class flowchart. The physical edition of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is priced at $50 across all retailers, making the Amazon version a sensible choice for those seeking the additional poster, subject to availability.
While the poster is included directly within the game box rather than being a separate pre-order incentive, Amazon Exclusive Editions of games frequently sell out either prior to or soon after launch. Subsequent print runs from Amazon are unlikely to include this poster.
This revitalized version of the beloved turn-based tactics game also featured a Collector`s Box, exclusive to the Square Enix Store, priced at $200. However, this special edition quickly sold out after pre-orders commenced in June.
