Development
This was the second game directed by Yasumi Matsuno, following Ogre Battle, which featured a considerably different game style.
After Matsuno quit Quest and was headhunted by Square (now Square Enix), his next title, Final Fantasy Tactics shares similar gameplay and story aspects with Tactics Ogre. Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber and Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis were created by Quest without Matsuno's presence to continue the Ogre series, although he did leave the script for Ogre Battle 64 at Quest. Gameplay-wise, Knight of Lodis succeeds the battle aspect of Let Us Cling Together. Although several key developers joined Matsuno at that time, Square later bought Quest outright, along with the rights to Ogre Battle. Despite officially resigning from Square-Enix before the completion of Final Fantasy XII, Matsuno returned for the re-development of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Other nations have tried to check ... the fulfillment of our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.”
—John Louis O’Sullivan (1813–1895)
“And then ... he flung open the door of my compartment, and ushered in “Ma young and lovely lady!” I muttered to myself with some bitterness. “And this is, of course, the opening scene of Vol. I. She is the Heroine. And I am one of those subordinate characters that only turn up when needed for the development of her destiny, and whose final appearance is outside the church, waiting to greet the Happy Pair!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
