What is the relationship between Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Tactics ? The most sagacious minds will answer that it is the word “Tactics”, which is factually not false. But more than a genre, it is a team that creates the link between the two works, namely the one that, already at Quest, had been able to give an unprecedented scale to a tactical RPG, directed by Yasumi Matsuno and including creatives at the admirable talent, now major figures in the field. Whether TFF may appear in a sense as a culmination, especially in terms of accessibility and design of cult characters, we must not forget that Ogre Tactics cleared the tracks taken by his cousin, a political fresco with a writing of a disturbing depth for the time. Partly inspired by the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, by Matsuno’s own admission, it offers a complex plot, to the many actors, whose narrative threads avoid all Manichaeism as much as possible. The sprawling scenario begins with an enterprise to reconquer territory, motivated by the pride of a population both eager for peace and cold revenge against their oppressors.
