The War Saga

Final Fantasy Chess, known as The Chess Saga (チェスの佐賀Chesu no Saga) in Japan, is a strategic game based on the board game known as Stratego.

Gameplay
Despite the name(s), it is not actually traditional, but respectfully take on the rules of Stratego.

The game also takes on the Toy>Game function from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, respectfully. When you enter the collectibles in the game, you can create respective board pieces using the collectible placed on the "Virtual Connector Board" (a largely wide USB board with functions similar to the "Portal of Power" for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure), or for short, the VCB. You can place up to 40 game pieces to continue creating respective board pieces with that collectible. Fans and creators calls this system "strategizing". Once the Deck is finished, the player has the option to save the Deck and later load it up for the upcoming battle, but takes up lots of memory so only a small limited amount of Deck space are available to use. Unlike Stratego, the game uses classic RPG elements to make the game more fascinating, strategizing, and tense.

The game also takes up the Band feature from Final Fantasy IV: The After Years where if you perform old fashioned moves like taking the opponent's board piece (strong increase) instead of damaging or defeating it, which will decrease and heavily decrease the Band gauge, respectfully. The gauge can even be risen by simply moving without selecting an ability (average increase).
