I'm yet to find a numbered Final Fantasy that comes close to the depressing tone of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Ivalice in the time of the War of Lions is a truly ugly place, where you can't trust anyone, not even your own family.

And yes, given the story's ending, it's hard to claim that you've achieved anything but a Pyrrhic victory.

No one, and I mean no one, will emerge from that war unscathed.

Matoya wasn't kidding about what it means to go to war.
