In an interview published on the PlayStation Blog, Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles Director Kazutoyo Maehiro shared that one of the main goals of the Enhanced version was to restore and expand character dialogue that had been cut from the original release.
“One of the things we had to cut the first time around was character dialogue. This was disappointing for me, as it was for Matsuno, who worked on the script additions and refinements for The Ivalice Chronicles. So this time we added dialogue while making overall story additions and refinements."
The development team worked closely with original scenario writer Yasumi Matsuno to bring back those missing lines and create new ones, including dynamic conversations during battles. These changes are meant to give more depth to the characters and strengthen the story as a whole.
“For example, in the original game certain characters rarely spoke once they were recruited, but here we added conversations that play during battles. When sending them into specific battles, characters like Agrias, Cid, and Mustadio speak considerably more. Some of these dialogues aren’t just exchanges between characters, but also complement the narrative, or touch on the heart of the story, such as why war veteran Marquis Elmdore chose the path he did.”
