And while the Tactics series saw two more pseudo sequels, Tactics Advance and A2, it arguably shares more in common with an entirely different game — Tactics Ogre Reborn. In fact, the link between these two games is so deep that I’d argue Tactics Ogre is the perfect setup for playing Final Fantasy Tactics, if you really want to understand the design ethos behind how one of the most ambitious Final Fantasy games came to be. Even just a cursory glance at Tactics Ogre will show you the similarities, but it runs much deeper than surface level. Tactics Ogre takes place in an archipelago called Valeria, united as a single kingdom that worships six elemental gods. From that foundation, there are two aspects that Tactics Ogre excels at: politically-charged storytelling and complex job-based combat.
