The Square Enix Party in Japan is over, but the new information keeps coming to the rest of the world. Square Enix just sent out a press release confirming that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War for PSP will be released in October for both America and Europe simultaneously. We'll get to enjoy these cinemas, and then a month or two later we'll get to enjoy these cinemas, when Square Enix plans to give us Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings on the Nintendo DS later this Winter.

This PSP port of the original PlayStation game has been enhanced to include two new classes, multiplayer gameplay, and new cinematics as you can see above. On May 10th, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War will finally be released in Japan for 4,800 yen, and then we hope that Square Enix decides to bring it over to the states. The video above shows new artsy cinematic sequences and more gameplay and interface screens. If you want to slow it down and see what it all looks like up close, check out this picture gallery from the past.

IGN spoke with Square Enix yesterday about the PSP remake Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War. Turns out there's more than just cool graphics to look forward to:

"The Lion War will feature multiplayer battles. The two-player skirmishes will paint one team red and the other blue so you don't mistakenly attack your own Monk, and will have a set number of turns so as to prevent one player from simply avoiding the other forever."

The Lion War comes out in Japan in two months, and Squeenix won't comment on an American release. It's region free, so feel free to import it if you can read Japanese, but they'd be foolish not to bring it over to America. Perhaps this will arrive in the United States as the first PSP2 game? Either way, this is a great addition to an already classic game.
