If there was a Final Fantasy Tactics 2...

They're hardly the same game. I could go into detail on the "differences" between the two games, but it really shouldn't be necessary. They're similar in some ways for obvious reasons, but the same game? That's just simplistic and untrue.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I suspected as much with how strongly motivated you seem to be on this but perhaps you can take some comfort in the fact that the more "serious" SRPG fans tend to favor Tactics Ogre in a comparison. Personally I like both games a great deal. However, there's no denying that Tactics Ogre is the more balanced SRPG, and it arguably has a better story if just because a good branching storyline is more impressive than a good linear one.

If my icon is any indication, I'm a big Ogre Battle fan and Ogre Battle on the SNES was actually my first SRPG. So I can understand (and share to an extent) the frustration over Tactics Ogre being overlooked just because Final Fantasy Tactics happens to have "Final Fantasy" in the title, but thems the breaks.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
