Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Gets New Game+ Fix in Patch 1.51

Square Enix dropped version 1.5.1 for Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles on July 13, fixing the New Game+ buried items bug that left relic hunters staring at empty dirt after the June 1.5.0 patch added NG+. Now fresh NG+ saves started after this update properly reset those items for rediscovery, while older saves stay broken — classic live service band-aid on a carry-over feature that clearly shipped half-baked.

The patch is a tiny download across consoles, adding only minor Traditional Chinese text tweaks and unspecified "other minor issues" on top of the main fix. Brazilian outlet intrigabits and Nintendo Everything both flagged the buried items change immediately, matching the official MP1st notes that this only applies to post-1.5.1 NG+ runs.

For gacha refugees and tacticool whales who treat every remaster like a banner rerun, this is the usual story: Square keeps the classic alive with drip-feed patches instead of shipping a complete experience. Buried loot not resetting was the kind of oversight that makes you wonder how much testing the NG+ carry-over actually got.

Final Fantasy Tactics finally fixing buried items in NG+ feels like the devs remembered how their own game works after twenty seven years.

The 1.5.1 patch was released at no additional cost per our last fiscal quarterly report. Revenue recognition on the initial purchase remains unaffected.
