FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift Now at Retail

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift was released in North America this past Tuesday, and Europe and other PAL territories will be able to get their hands on it as well tomorrow.

FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift turns your Nintendo DS into a tactical battlefield where you take control of a clan of fighters, mages and more. Summon mighty Scions and Espers to overcome the challenges that await, fulfil your destiny and return home victorious. With victory comes fame. Earn a reputation for your clan as you win battles and a whole new level of party customisation will open for you to enjoy.

Story: Our tale begins as Luso, an energetic young boy, discovers a mysterious book whilst tidying the library as a punishment for his latest episode of light-hearted mischief. He opens the book and is transported to another world called Ivalice. Before he can catch his breath, he finds himself joining a clan led by a friendly, if gruff, man named Cid. With his new clan at his side, he sets out to find a way home…
