Recent Japanese trademarks by Square Enix contain familiar names

Square Enix recently registered the following four trademarks in Japan: Larger-than-Life Gallery, Warriors of Light and Darkness, Final Fantasy Legends and Tactics Ogre. Aside from Larger-than-Life Gallery, the rest of the new trademarks should sound familiar to fans. 

Warriors of Light and Darkness sounds like it may be a spin-off Final Fantasy game, perhaps a sequel to the Nintendo DS game, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (known in Japan as The Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden).

Another possible spin-off is Final Fantasy Legends. In the early 1990s, Square Enix released a trio of Game Boy role-playing games as part of the foundation to the SaGa series. They brought these titles over in North America as Final Fantasy Legend, Final Fantasy Legend II and Final Fantasy Legend III. Could the Final Fantasy Legends trademark be related to these classic handheld games?

Finally, Tactics Ogre is a series of strategy games developed by Quest. The developer was purchased by Square Enix in 2002 and went on the create Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Final Fantasy Tactics A2.

    There is an app on the iPhone called Final Fantasy XIII Larger-than-Life Gallery. Essentially was a giant photo album with pictures from the game and some in calendar form. Maybe they are making a new one for a different game.
