Final Fantasy Tactics Remake
Same list for me, but in opposite order. I think Tactics is great, but inferior to another strategy game called Tactics Ogre. The story and characters is the main draw for any Final Fantasy game. If you want to get immersed in gameplay and exploration FFXII TZA is the way to go. But 8,7, and 10 is the true highmark of the series. Renaissance is another magnificent game for your PC like Final Fantasy Tactics.It uses a hexagonal grid system for its turn-based battles. The third game of the series features three races and a completely revamped combat system that allows team members to move freely and take advantage of terrain (height, forest, and so on) to defend them from enemy attack.
Final Fantasy Tacticsis considered by many to be one of the best video games of all time, with many believing that it is also the greatest game in the Final Fantasy series. The hardest part of being a Final Fantasy Tactics fan is the lack of any true sequels to the game, as the Advance titles were spin-offs set in a different version of Ivalice.
The reason why there haven't been any sequels to Final Fantasy Tactics is due to its creator leaving Square Enix. Final Fantasy Tactics was created by Yasumi Matsuno, who was also responsible for the Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre series, as well as Vagrant Story. Matsuno left Square Enix in 2005 after working on Final Fantasy XII, but he has worked with the company in recent years, most notably on the 'Return to Ivalice' crossover scenario that took place in Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood.

It seems that there might be more games in the Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle series in the future, as Matsuno was asked about the possibility of sequels during an interview with Dengeki Online. (via. DualShockers)
Matsuno: Rather than looking back at the past, I’m the kind of person who loves trying out new things. But when you reach my age, you start having thoughts like “How much time do I have left to keep making games?”. And I’m not talking about retirement, I’m talking about death. Recently, I’ve been to more funerals than weddings, and it made me aware of how limited our time is. On places like Twitter, fans sometimes send me messages like “I really wish you’d make a new Ogre or FFT!!”. When I see messages like this, a part of me thinks “I probably need to make one before I die”.
It turns out that it wasn't two decades worth of requests from fans that is prompting Matsuno to want to make a sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics & Ogre Battle, but rather the shadow of the Grim Reaper, as his own impending sense of mortality might be the catalyst for the return of Ramza Beoulve.
Whatever issues that Matsuno had with Square Enix have likely been resolved, especially after his involvement with the 'Return to Ivalice' scenario for Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. Square Enix has just started to promote the Final Fantasy VII Remake again, but news of a new Final Fantasy Tactics or Ogre Battle game would hit the core Final Fantasy fanbase just as hard.
It has been over twenty years since Ramza and Alma rode off into the sunset and the fans have waited patiently to hear the end of their story. The chances of the Zodiac Brave Story reaching its conclusion are now higher than ever.

First, see here: (PSN - Final Fantasy Tactics)...and here: (PSN - Final Fantasy Tactics - War of the Lions)
I don't have a Sony system, but I do own an iPhone. From the App Store, I have downloaded and I am currently playing FFT-WotL. From what I can tell it's the same as the original, with a few tweaks for it to work on a touch-based device.
There aren't two versions within the Apple App Store. I'm curious, what are the differences between the two PSN versions?
Can someone clarify?

Changes (From Original to WotLs):
- Language & Naming. Many Character names are spelt a bit differently and the language has changed a bit (said to be more medieval w/e that means). Many skills and skillsets are changed in name. e.g. The Knight's skillset Break has changed to Ruin. Speed Break -> Speed Ruin.
- Special Characters. Luso from FFTA2 and Balthier from FF12 are obtainable party members.
- Jobs. The Dark Knight is an obtainable job (This is not to be confused with the original's Dark Knight, Gafgarion which is now called Fell Knight). The Onion Knight is not allowed any abilities (class & secondary) but is able to equip any equipment including the famous Onion Knight equipment. More on the Dark Knight, Fell Knight, and Onion Knight on their wikia pages.
- Side Quests. Additional side quests involving Agrais, Alicia, Lavian (Agrias' Knights), Beowulf, & Reis. In no particular order. I believe there are only two.
- Multiplayer. Multiplayer was added to War of the Lions.
- Delita - There are a few battles in the game where you're able to control Delita as a character that weren't in the original as well (to avoid minor spoilers I'm not mentioning when).
Main source (among the others listed and my own knowledge). I felt the need to post as the original post didn't mention any specifics and left it all to a link, which will eventually die making the answer not as good, so I added the info in another answer to maintain the reliability of the question's answer(s).
Shelby115Shelby115War of the Lions is basically the PSP version/remake, released 2007. It features a number of improvements and new elements (which are described on Wiki page in more detail - watch out for story spoilers though!) over its predecessor. Notable changes include increased difficulty level (reflecting the difficulty of original 1997 Japanese version), as well as additional battles, characters from later FF games and completely new translation. The iPhone version is a port from PSP, with only slight changes.
