The original Final Fantasy Tactics team was so committed to its goal of hitting 60fps that it actually scaled back ideas from its spiritual predecessor to get the game running at a consistent frame rate.

To promote the remastered Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, developers from the original Tactics team who are coming back to work on the re-release after almost 30 years reminisced on the classic strategy JRPG's production in an interview with Den-fami Nico Gamer (translated by Automaton).
