War of the Lions Gets Controller Support and 60fps on iOS and Android
The patch turns a long-running mobile port into the more comfortable place to play the version that still carries the Onion Knight, Dark Knight and guest allies the remaster left out.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Square Enix pushed an October 19 update to Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions on iOS and Android. The patch adds game controller support, a speed-up feature, a revised battle UI, 60fps operation and bug fixes. The mobile version keeps the extra content missing from the console and PC remaster Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, including the Onion Knight and Dark Knight jobs and Balthier from FF12 as an ally.
The update landed on October 19, 2026. It targets play comfort rather than content: controller support, a speed-up option, a reworked battle UI and 60fps. The game still sells for 1,900 yen on both storefronts.
The content split is the part worth noting. The War of the Lions carries jobs and guest characters that The Ivalice Chronicles does not, among them the Onion Knight, the Dark Knight, FF12's Balthier and FFTA2's Luso. An overseas developer interview about the remaster said those additions were considered but the team leaned toward an experience close to the original. The mobile release is where that extra material still lives.
