The Tactics Ogre series was heavily influenced by the music of Queen. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (the PSP remake of which hits stores February 15) and Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen are named after three Queen songs. In fact, the very title Ogre Battle comes from the Queen song of the same name. Since Ogre Battle was the first game in the series before it became Tactics Ogre, you could say the entire series is named after Queen. The Rhyan Sea in the Ogre Battle universe is named after yet another Queen song, The Seven Seas of Rhye.

In other news, series director Yasumi Matsuno has freaking awesome taste in music.
