HELL YEAH!!!! I have said it before and will say it again, the line up is getting better and better for the psp

EDIT: MORE INFO

Here are a few points from the FF Reunion summary:

• Even though it may look like the game's visuals haven't changed much, they have been improved over the original. They're trying to keep the Super Famicom-like look of the game.
• They'd actually be proud if people would say that it's the same as the original.
• You can change the angle to view the action from above.
• The height-based play and other basic elements of the original remain in tact.
• They're adding a number of new elements for the game parts and battle parts. The battles will be greatly changed.
• The game will have a variety of new skill-based gameplay features.
• There will be new classes.
• The battle maps character count has increased from the 10 vs 10 of the original to 12 on your side vs 18 on the enemy side, for a total of 30 characters on screen.
• This is not a "Tactics Ogre Perfect Version," but a "rebuilding" of Tactics Ogre. It doesn't fit within the framework of a "remake."
• You won't be able to use your strategies from the original for the sequel.
• The magazine also says that the game is being re-imagined under the basis of "If you developed and played Tactics Ogre in this day and age, it would be like this." There will be a number of new gameplay systems.
• Famitsu has a look at a new character, Ravinus Rousillon.

"The article specifically says that Matsuno is personally revising the script and making all the additions and changes to the original script. There will be a lot more text in the remake script, and there will be new side stories and characters to flesh out the world and feelings of the characters in the original game. So yeah, this isn't a case of them just using his name"

and yea go to the source link for high res versions of the scan ;) and the game is looking absolutely stunning imo

Sweet! I been itching for a good tactics game for a while, ever since I replayed FFtactics. Hell yeah.

.....

I'm about to say something I never, ever thought I'd say in my life.

I'm...getting a PSP.

PSP?

PSP?

YOU SONS OF BITCHES SQUARE

I DIDN'T WANT A PSP AT ALL

I just.... I just have to sit down for a while. I thought this would never happen.

Oh God. My baby's coming back.

....Wait, what? This is.... I thought it meant a new game in the series.

I thought Ogre was coming back.

I read it as they are remaking the whole game, I'll try and find the quote

Yeah, I know.

I get that it's a remake of the first Tactics Ogre. I'm sure it will be prettier and have nicer sounds and a cleaner script, but....

I thought it would be a new game, building on the Ogre Battle storyline. Maybe an earlier episode, or even a later one.

You probably can't empathize, since you're a PSP fan and not an Ogre fan, but.... I was so excited, for a moment. It was like my favorite dead series was being brought back from beyond the veil.

I'm ok with it because its possible that major success might make them think about creating a new one! One can hope anyway...

Well dunno what to tell ya bud, I'll def buy it that's for certain and the news is still coming in, I will ty and find all good info on it and post here

for example
