I've got my theories: Tactics Ogre on PSP didn't sell as well as Square Enix wanted, Matsuno (series creator) has said in interviews that he doesn't like doing the same thing and most of all Square Enix's mismanagement from FFXII until maybe FFXV. But if we all buy 10 copies of Tactics Ogre: Reborn hopefully we'll get that long awaited sequel!

They preffer FFT

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey I would imagine that game devs have not figured out that we just want an updated version but not completely different. Like Xcom. There was a mod out there that updated the original version with more weapons, more tech, more enemies, etc etc. But the new version, while introducing some new elements that are interesting. It is not the original just updated.

Go play Unicorn Overlord now

Person of Lordly Caliber is the GOAT! A cool, stylish experimental rts for its time that hasn't been replicated. As a 6 year old back then I had no idea what I was doing and still won by throwing numbers of undead spawn. The ccockatrice was the hardest enemy for me because I couldn't read well and find out an antidote was a thing among others. I still knew ridding myself of enemy leaders was the only way to win and the game encourages it. Alignments? Cause for war? Waifus? This ain't rocket science or fire emblem hoo ha. This is a one sided omega m@ssacre of the surface or so I told myself. Black Cauldron , nightmare before Christmas and waw zombies were all the rage for me. I try to play other games similar to it. Like final fantasy but they don't scratch the etch. Mainly because for the lack of better words they play like eastern heavily pixelated turn based mobile phone games and their not for me. Turn based games like xcom, paper mario, hard west, darkest dungeon, wasteland, divinity original sins are more my jamm. Just like Battalion Wars that came from a turn based series Advanced Wars. I don't believe will see the light of day unless the mother series gets a lot of success.

Appreciate the sub! And shouts out to your dad he must be pretty cool if he's into TRPGs!

It's no Glover but I love the way it looks too

The soundtrack is top notch too 😀

The music had me thinking reborn would be similar. :(

Money well spent!

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey Yes it was!

Thank you for the kind words! Trying to get to 1,000 subs so if you know anyone else that's interested please peer pressure them into watching

Your Blockbuster had a better selection of N64 games than mine! Luckily mine had Final Fantasy Tactics so I can't complain

I didn't know that! Happy to be of service

Hopefully with the new Vanillaware game Unicorn Overlord introducing a new generation of people to the Ogre Battle genre Ogre Battle 64 will see a resurgence!

Hear hear!

And after you revisit OB64 you'll want to revisit Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. It's a vicious Ogre cycle!

I played KoL back when it first came out, but never finished it. I find that I prefer the MotBQ/OB64 play style better than the tactics grid. Still having a great time with Tactics Ogre, though.

Money well spent! I'd use it towards Final Fantasy Tactics 2 either way we both win.

It could use some graphical love. Leave the story and the maps. BOOM YOU GOT A BANGER. STUPID STUDIOS!

Yes, i wanted to continue the story after getting the best ending. 😢

Try Unicorn Overlord 😎

How does being a game seller make your opinion more valid? Selling boxing gloves doesn't make you Rocky Marciano.

I do my best! Appreciate the support!

Dare I ask the other two?

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey FFT ... i happened to play the PsP version which was great... and front mission 1 snes (rom translation) . Loved the customization : )

I wonder if they would've changed the name to Ogre Battle PS2? Either way let's hope a remaster is in the works!

Hell yeah! Fingers are firmly crossed.

And I love this comment!

I found this game at a flea market and snatched it up really quick

Not sure, wish I had the foresight to purchase that version when it was available. I'd be curious if you did the button combo while booting if that save menu would pop up but even if it did I doubt that Nintendo was nice enough to emulate extra save RAM.

Amen!

Happy to be of service! I can't imagine getting a good ending at 8 years old. I played through FFT when I was that age and while I loved it I wouldn't say I understood it.

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey I certainly didn't understand a lot of what was going on, I played keep away and only used my main character, spent all of the training on him and his group almost entirely, had a bunch of starved companies besides him, training wise. It was weird how I puppy guarded with him the cap and made him fight everything. Anyhow, hope you're having a good day.

Didn't know it was available on Steam 😉

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey 😉😉

Almost made that joke in the video! After doing more research I found in an interview that at some point they wanted to name it Ogre Battle 2.

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey now that would have been confusing!

Many thanks! I have an RGB-modded N64 that I passthrough an upscaler then capture on an Elgato! Best set-up unless you get an HDMI-modded N64.

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey that’s awesome thank you for the info

After I finish my Yasumi Matusno Arc I was planning to cover the series that Yggdra Union is a part of (Dept. Heaven). I've only ever played a little bit of Gungnir and the story was interesting. So to answer your questions: No, and it may be a while but STAY TUNED!

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey ahh Gungnir, I replayed that game more than 7 times this year. I also love it.

If that Unicorn Overlord game does well there might be a chance!

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey Just checked it out and it looks amazing! Also you are the first person to explain the Chaos and Law! I hope with my second run I can get Black rebels and the other guys to come to my team. I wish the last boss was a bit harder but the journey and storyline is worth the second run.

You would be correct.

Hopefully Tactics Ogre Reborn did well enough to justify a new entry in the Ogre Battle saga!

I'd been calling it Unicorn Overlord this whole time, but yeah that game looks sweet!!!

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey I still would prefer Ogre Battle, but I'm sure there's a reason for the name change for the franchise.

Unicorn Overlord was a toe dip compared to this game, the class depth, the unit formation depth, and the units themselves, it didn’t even come close to doing Ogre Battle 64 justice, much less the game mechanics. In one playthrough, to get hidden characters and classes and basically do everything possible and get everything correct, I had over 200 hours in it….a 64 game….i got the platinum trophy for UO in about 80 hours.

Fingers crossed!

Now that's dedication!

*Homer Simpson slaps forehead: 'D'oh!'

Right back at cha bud! 😉

I agree. I think it could've been implemented and a explained more clearly. It's essentially the game's difficulty option but I would like to see a new Ogre Battle game with a more nuanced approach where maybe capturing the town awards you more rewards but raises your Chaos Frame versus liberating for less rewards but maybe the enemy would have a harder time recapturing because the townsfolks like you. IDK hopefully one day we'll find out!

Heck yeah!

I agree fam. (Side note: should Olive Garden change their motto to 'When you're here, you're fam'?)

Are you saying Google LIED TO ME?!

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey Well, in Spanish they say piedra, which is close enough. ^_^ Btw, great video, I forgot how much fun I had with this game back in the day. Definitely the best N64 RPG (there aren't many, and Zelda is more of an adventure with RPG elements IMO).

No emulator for me baby! RGB-modded N64 with SCART output through an upscaler.

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey Thats why it looks so natural, thanks man! great setup, this game is amazing.

Did you mean to say tip? Either way I think my next video's audio is better but let me know plz

@@TheTacticalRPGOdyssey hint* ate a letter in my frustration when the game audio blew my ear drums.... But its good youre working on it.

You're not wrong

Interesting opinion, appreciate the comment!
