In 1949 the New Statesman held a contest inviting readers to send in parodies of the great novelist and playwright Graham Greene. So distinctive and unique was his writing style that it apparently invited parody. A few weeks later the publication announced the winners and, to both their and his surprise, second place went to Graham Greene himself, who had written in secretly using a pseudonym.

 

For Square-Enix the muted critical and (Japanese) fan reception to Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, sequel to the widely-lauded PSOne original, must have left them feeling much the same way as Greene. In trying to ape their earlier and greater work they seemed to have lost what made it so special.

 

Now, in what could be taken as a hedged bet, the company is re-releasing an updated version of the majestic original onto the PSP, while also putting the finishing touches to the GBA game's sequel on the DS in a two-pronged attack.
