Tactics Ogre: Reborn leak shows some big changes to one of the best strategy RPGs ever

pcgamer.com:

To go all 'sickos' on you for a moment: Yes… ha ha ha, YES! Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, a 2010 strategy RPG, is making a well-deserved comeback, as leaked on the site PSDeals. This is actually the third time this Tactics Ogre remaster has leaked—it first appeared in the Nvidia GeForce Now game list last year—but this is the first time we've gotten real details on what the re-release will include.

«Based on the 2010 release, the game features improved graphics and sound, as well as updated game design, bringing to life a new Tactics Ogre that remains true to its roots,» says the store description. Here's some of what that «updated game design» includes: 

Tactics Ogre has a long history: the 2010 game is actually a remake of a 1995 Super Famicom RPG, which was also released on the original PlayStation and Sega Saturn in the late '90s. Designer Yasumi Matsuno went on to make Final Fantasy Tactics afterward, bringing Tactics Ogre's politics-focused storytelling with him; ironically a 2007 remake of Final Fantasy Tactics then paved the way for Tactics Ogre's return.

The 2010 PSP version clearly serves as the base for this remaster, which makes sense—it's widely beloved for its art and the rich localization by Alexander O. Smith and Joseph Reeder, who also worked with Matsuno on Final Fantasy 12 and the FFT remake. But it seems like Square Enix is making some significant changes to that PSP version, and actually reverting some of its design back to resemble the original Super Famicom design. Removing the «class-wide level management system» in favor of individual unit levels mentioned above is one example. Another is the seeming removal of the «TP,» or «Tactical Points,» used to cast certain skills in the PSP game.
