FFT Multiplayer Mode — A battle in a Rendezvous Mission.

Rendezvous Missions (通信対戦, Tsuushin Taisen?) are a series of optional multiplayer co-op battles in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. They are unlocked during the course of the game, and can be started by going to any tavern in Ivalice. Each player selects between one and four characters, and then controls them during the battle. Together they fight a battle against computer-controlled enemies, who happen to be some of the most difficult opponents in the entire game. The battle is lost once all characters are defeated, not just the ones for one player. The battle will also end if one player turns off his or her PSP, puts it to "sleep", or selects the "Quit" option. All battles can be fought as many times as the players wish.

There are no negative results for playing in the Rendezvous Mode. All items used are returned, all gil lost is restored, and characters do not die, instead they leave the battle when their timer runs out rather than turn into a crystal or chest. This results in there being no notes of events such as character deaths or additional kills added to the Chronicles notes. But EXP is not gained during battle, however characters do gain JP. All Jobs and skill sets are open for use, except Arithmeticks skill, as well as the Entice and Poaching abilities.

At the end of each mission, both players each receive one to five Treasure Chests, depending upon the players' combined performance during the battle. This is determined based upon the total number of characters used, enemies killed, remaining teammates at the end of the fight. The items in the Chests are semi-random, with better treasure appearing to higher level players and with some equipment only found in one specific mission.
