Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles’ physical edition for Nintendo Switch will have a free Switch 2 visual and performance upgrade when it launches September 30. The Switch 2 Upgrade Pack is actually already available to “preorder” (claim for free) on the eShop. This is notable because Square Enix isn’t releasing a physical edition for Switch 2. Without the free upgrade, longtime fans would be locked into the digital edition on Switch 2, or play the Switch edition without the frame rate and graphical enhancements. Switch 2 owners would also miss out on a pretty cool physical edition bonus at Amazon.

Preorder at Amazon for:
The Amazon Exclusive Edition for Nintendo Switch and PS5 includes a double-sided poster in the box. The poster has character art on one side and the job class flowchart on the other. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles costs $50 regardless of where you buy the physical edition, so it makes sense to snag a copy from Amazon while it’s still available.
Since the poster is included in the box, this technically isn’t a preorder bonus. That said, Amazon Exclusive Editions of games have been known to sell out before launch or shortly after. Once that happens, the next batch of copies from Amazon likely won’t have the poster inside.
The revamped version of the classic turn-based tactics game is also getting a Square Enix Store-exclusive Collector’s Box for $200, but it sold out not long after preorders opened in June.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Preorder Bonuses

All preordered copies of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, including the Amazon Exclusive Edition, come with several in-game items and consumables:
- White Equipment for Ramza
- Spiked Boots that increase Jump attribute
- Mythril Knife (Weapon)
- 10x High Potion

$50 | Releases September 30

The physical edition of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles for Nintendo Switch and PS5 is also available to preorder at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop. Only Amazon is offering an additional bonus, though.
While the physical edition is only available for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 1/2, Final Fantasy Tactics will also launch digitally on PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS4. This release strategy–physical editions for Nintendo and PlayStation platforms only–has become very common for Square Enix over the past couple of years.
$200 (no game) | $250 with the game

SOLD OUT
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is getting a jam-packed Collector’s Box that looks appropriately lavish for this all-time classic.
Here’s what you get with the Collector’s Box:
- Special Art Box: Shown above, the box holding all of the merch has intricate character art against a decorative depiction of Ivalice in the background. Square Enix printed the artwork on matte-textured art paper.
- Ramza Beoulve Figure (Akademy Version): It’s unclear how tall this figure is, but it is described as a “figure,” not a statue. That said, it does come with a base stand. Overall, this looks like a high-quality figure with vibrant colors and impressive attention to detail.
- Mini Chocobo Plush Set: Adorable miniature plushies of the standard yellow Chocobo, Black Chocobo, and Red Chocobo. Each plush has an elastic loop, so you can connect it to a backpack or even your belt (if you’re especially cool).
- Zodiac Stones Acrylic Magnet Set: All 12 Zodiac stones as acrylic magnets.
- Outlying Church Pop-Up Diorama: A pop-up 3D display of the Outlying Church from the game. If you compare it to in-game screenshots, it looks like an faithful recreation.
- Art Prints: Printed on glossy polypropylene (plastic) sheets, the three pieces of framable artwork feature: Ramza, a world map of Ivalice, and the key art that’s used for the standard edition of the remaster.
The Collector’s Box is available on its own for $200 or bundled with game for $250. If you choose the latter, the game will be packaged separately. This just means that the Collector’s Box is the same regardless of which choice you make, and the box, as shown above, doesn’t have a Nintendo Switch or PS5 logo on it. Since physical editions aren’t available for Xbox, PS4, or PC, a universal Collector’s Box makes sense.
You can check out all of the collectibles in the image below.


Final Fantasy Tactics is also getting a digital-only Deluxe Edition that includes the following in-game items:
- Akademy Blade (Weapon)
- Akademy Beret (Headwear)
- Akademy Tunic (Combat Garb)
- Ring of Aptitude (Accessory)
- Black Equipment for Ramza
- Red Equipment for Ramza
- 10x Phoenix Down
