So a question for you all, which is the better way to play the original ff tactics, war of the lions tweak or the ivalice chronicles?

probably one of the mods for the original like fft prime; i think one of the mods includes the extra content from the psp version in it. the ivalice chronicles remaster doesn't include the extra stuff, but does have a few new things that would be helpful like an option to enter random battles.
here's more info on the wiki page:

Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy Tactics is a strategy role-playing game in the Final Fantasy series. It was released for the PlayStation in June 1997. It has since been re-released as the updated Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (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?) for the...

I prefer the modern script so no PSX version for me. I'm currently playing the PSP version with the slowdowns fixed. Can't justify a purchase of Ivalice Chronicles right now and it's my first time so I don't mind.
There's an overhead view in Ivalice Chronicles that I wish I had on PSP though.

Once I'm done with Tales of Arise I'm finally going to play FF Type-0. Or maybe Bravely Default II since I've had it for like 5 years in my backlog.

Type-0's intro is so sad...

I've read the prequel manga, Ice Reaper, and liked it a lot. Can't wait to start this.

I think it's the last Final Fantasy game made that has a world map? Anyway, HYPED!

Oh I hope you like it! I bounced off Type-0 ages ago when it had its PS4 release in the states, but I've always wanted to go back and give it another shot.

I'm currently doing that with Final Fantasy VIII. I'm somewhere in Disc One of the Remaster, and liking it much more than I did the first time I tried it.

I hate Square Enix

 

[Guinea]

Reminds me of their other gacha, FF7 The First Soldier. I don't hate this because I actually have fun with their mobile games, but I strongly dislike this, because eventually it's going to poof and disappear like so many of the others. Ugh.

 

[PhantomTohsaka]

Man, Square Enix ruined it by make it a another mobile game.

Even worse how they killed their only good mobile game (Opera Omnia) to make this garbo looking thing.

 

[starseeker300]

so fate grand order but as an action rpg and with final fantasy characters instead

 

[Mitochondria]

Nothing special but recently I finished achievement hunting FF1 PR. I'm going to move onto FF2 PR soon.

Opera Omnia wasn't the only good one. They also killed Nier ReIncarnation, Brave Exvius and War of the Visions. Those games kicked ass. And before those we lost All The Bravest, First Soldier and many others. I really wish Square would make multiple Mobile Collections so we can play these games again.

Ah true, I was only talking about Final Fantasy games so I can't speak for stuff like the Nier game as I haven't played any of them, but Opera Omnia was the only one I ever enjoyed, but it was also like the best mobile-only game I ever played, so even then I'm like super biased haha
I had a super powerful Wakka I had enhanced like crazy, and I never even spent a dime on the game!

All The Bravest was probably one of the worst games I've ever played, though...

I liked Final Fantasy Dimensions.
It was a bit of a nostalgia bait but if you like the 8 and 16 bit Final Fantasies then its more of that.

I now present to all of you FF fans... my "real world" timeline!

FF Unlimited > FF Lost Stranger > FF Dissidia Duellum > FF The Spirits Within

Unlimited and Lost Stranger both start off in Japan, and Spirits Within takes place on Earth far into the future. That's all I've got for now.

Edit- Ah, almost forgot that FF Tactics Advance 1 and 2 are like an isekai type of thing, but outside of a reference to a video game called Final Fantasy at the start of Advance 1, I'm not 100% sure they take place in the "real world".

Edit 2- The new Dissidia game takes place in Japan, so might as well throw that in there.

the first three could work like that. they also could all take place at the same time. but spirits within is its own thing. it really has nothing to do with final fantasy, outside of 3 small references.
the tactics advance games primarily take place in Ivalice, which is the world that ff12 takes place in. the grimoire that marche and luso find is a powerful spellbook that can rip open the fabric of time and space.

i think the two tactics advance games would go before lost stranger, either before or after unlimited

it's possible. i haven't watched the tv show yet, i don't know anything about the stranger one and i presume since the dissidia is the newest one, it takes place around this time period.
the most likely timeline is the release date of each series.
ff unlimited came out oct 2001.
tactics advance came out feb 2003.
tactics advance 2 came out oct 2007
and lost stranger came out july 2017.
dissidia deullum will be set in 2026, since it will release next year.
this is presuming that they take place after each other. it's possible unlimited and tactics advance start at the same time and then the others come afterwards.
its also possible that these series follow the mainline games and pretty much all occur at the same time completely independent of each other or happen thousands of years apart.
