Saturday, November 20, 2010 at 12:49 PMIs this a remake of Tactics Ogre from PS1 (and previously SNES if I remember correctly)? or a sequel/spinoff/totally new game? If so i hope it arrives to english-speaking ports before the next glaciation. TO is the only tactics game that mechanically holds a handle to the original FFT (actually, predates it.)
