The late 1990s were a time for experimentation especially with the rise of 3D gaming on consoles. One of the developers on the forefront of that experimentation and eventual revolution was none other than SquareSoft – the future Square Enix. Square’s “Final Fantasy” franchise exploded in popularity during the Playstation era; giving way to one of the most important tactical games of its time – “Final Fantasy Tactics”.
Gamers have been wanting Square to produce something just as masterful for years after the sequels & ports also garnered grand praise. Though not one-to-one in terms of presentation, the Square Enix-Lancarse co-developed experience known as “The Diofield Chronicle” seems to be this generation’s “Final Fantasy Tactics” for ninth generation gamers by being nothing like it other than having a similar art design. Sharpen those swords, talk to everyone who will admire a warrior’s skills, and prepare the battlefield for this review of “The Diofield Chronicle” demo.
