Square Enix Readies Army Of Tactics Ogre Trademarks [7/3]

[Linnaete]

After Square Enix absorbed Quest, Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre were dropped and Final Fantasy Tactics, a spiritual successor of sorts, lived on. That was eight years ago. So, why did Square Enix register a bunch of trademarks related to Tactics Ogre this past week?

Atlus brought the Tactics Ogre series to North America, but the series never saw a release in PAL territories. Even though it hasn’t been used for years, Square Enix is perhaps overprotective of the Tactics Ogre name.

Or, maybe, Square Enix has plans for Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. They trademarked that subtitle too and it would be easy to put the PsOne version on PlayStation Network.

Interesting, I like Tactics so if it's anything like that it might be pretty awesome. Hopefully some screenshots are heading this way soon.

What's more likely is Square is afraid of fan based games being released with the Ogre battle title.

There may be some fans working on a fan based game.

As you know Square killed fan based Chrono games some years back by threatening to sue the fans working on them.

The Ogre battle fans are very loyal and very disappointed that Square abandoned the series...
Preventing a few of them from making a fan based Ogre game would be in line with what Square had done in the past.
