Proper+sequel?+Or+wishful+thinking?

First, check out the video below, and then read on for some clues and translations we've pulled from the short teaser.Some of the Japanese text points to your more typical Square Enix/Final Fantasy fare, such as "summons" like "Odin," "Diablos" and "Titan." More text points towards "A World of Chaos" and a "Fight for Supremacy." The date teased says Summer, 2012. (Thank you to IGN's own Meghan Sullivan for the Japanese translations.)Obviously, the art and especially the music in the video invokes Final Fantasy Tactics . The original strategy-RPG classic came to PlayStation in 1998, and although it's come out on many other platforms since, it's never gotten a proper sequel. However, two spin-offs did come out. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance came to Game Boy Advance in 2003, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift came to Nintendo DS in 2008.The two artists specifically credited in the teaser are Masaki Hirooka and Yusuke Naora. Unfortunately, these two names being involved on the project actually make things a little more confusing.Hirooka is best known for his art on the Nintendo DS classic Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, although he also contributed art to other games such as Culdcept Saga and Suikoden Tierkreis. Naora, on the other hand, is an old-school Square artist who got his start in the early 1990's. He was art director on many Square classics, and contributed to such famous games as Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Front Mission 4, Front Mission 5, Chrono Trigger, Chaos Rings and Final Fantasy Type-0.Unfortunately, neither Hirooka nor Naora have any connection to Final Fantasy Tactics or its GBA/DS spinoffs.But one way or the other, we'll find out soon enough what this game is. The website for this yet-unknown title has a countdown clock that concludes at 11pm PT the night of Friday, March 30th.What do you think Square Enix is teasing? Is it a new Final Fantasy Tactics, or something else entirely? Sound-off in the comments below and let us know.
