"The recent release of Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles gives players an updated way to try one of the best tactical RPGs of all time. But for as great and as influential as Final Fantasy Tactics is, it also owes a huge debt to another great RPG from a Square competitor, which was remade itself, without which it may not even exist."
"On the surface, the two games already have a lot in common. Both are tactical RPGs telling the story of complex battles between the political factions of their worlds. Both feature flexible class systems that demand players carefully build their armies to cover units' individual weaknesses. And both explore how their protagonists' choices play out in the world at large and change them as individuals."
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles provides an updated way to play Final Fantasy Tactics. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together was released by Quest in 1995 on the Super Famicom and reached international audiences on PlayStation in 1998. Tactics Ogre was later remade and exerted major influence on later tactical RPGs. Both games feature tactical combat, flexible class systems requiring careful army building, and narratives about political faction conflicts where protagonist choices shape events. Yasumi Matsuno directed and wrote Tactics Ogre, which follows Denim Powell amid Valeria's civil war after the king's death and the rise of Galgastan.
