...Square Enix lost the FFT source code.
"There were a number of major challenges, but all of them stemmed from the fact that the master data and source code from the original game no longer existed."
Jesus. Makes me wonder how many other games of that age are just totally lost now. #Gaming #FinalFantasy

> To get past [the lost game code], Maehiro said they dissected the existing versions of the game (likely ripped from PlayStation CDs) and reconstructed the original programming, but it wasn’t a catch all process. Some parts were reconstructed by playing the game itself and the team “worked it out by feel alone…”
I wish I had the talent for something like that; this kind of reverse engineering and code deep diving sounds fascinating!

Some people are disappointed that the upcoming #FinalFantasyTactics - The Ivalice Chronicles won't include some additional PSP "War Of The Lions" content (mainly some characters and the Dark Knight and Onion Knight jobs) but it's been a conscious choice.
Here are the game directors Kazutoyo Maehiro's reasons:

Very interesting read with some new info bits and details about the game:
- the master data and source code from the original game no longer existed, they "reconstructed" the entire game 🤯
- Yasumi Matsuno, who wrote and directed the original game, has added new character conversations for this title
- adjustments to some of the story content, which allows us to portray the inner workings of certain characters in ways that weren't there in the original game

Ever heard of Ludologica?
Launched in 2003, it was Italy’s first serious book series on #GameStudies, treating titles like #MetalGearSolid, #TheSims, and #FinalFantasy with the same respect as film or literature.
