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 a widely known chess game.

Gameplay
As the name implies, it is a chess game that respectfully follows the rules of chess.

The game takes on the Toy>Game function from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, respectfully. When you enter the collectibles in the game, you can create respective chess pieces using the collectible platformed on the "Teleporter" (a platform with functions similar to the "Portal of Power" for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure). You can switch out the collectible with another to continue creating respective chess pieces with that collectible. Fans and creators calls this system "strategizing". Once the Deck is finished, the player can save the Deck and later load it up for the upcoming battle. Unlike chess, 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 chess piece (strong increase) instead of damaging or defeating it, which will decrease and heavily decrease the Band gauge, respectfully. The gauge can also be risen by simply moving without selecting an ability (average increase).
