I'm in Chapter 4 and I'm actually flabbergasted at how tightly balanced and how challenging the game gets, it's a breath of fresh air coming from the PSP version, especially considering they killed all the filler and grind you had to do. Game is super hard, super balanced, pretty much impossible to cheese (they even added level caps), every class has its uses, no single class can solo the game unlike the original game. People are treating this like a "overpriced PSP remaster", little do they know they took TO and reworked it into one of the most smartly designed tactical RPGs I have ever played, no joke. Incredible game and I have no idea how it even came out like this, all they "had" to do was port the PSP game but they went so above and beyond that it's ridiculous.

I played the crap out of ogre battle 64 as wee little highschooler, so I have a very nostalgic connection with the series. It's one of those games that I know most people do not love but was played at a a time, when I was finally starting to make my own decisions about what games I was playing and absolutely loved it. I never played any of the earlier ones but always had wanted to, so I was beyond excited about playing this one. I've heard multiple people say this is one of the best RPG's of all time so am so excited to hear it's reviewing well and cannot wait to pick it up!

The Diofield Chronicle for Example did a fresh Element in that Area but also in the Demo with the 2 Ogers, I failed many times. So I hope a Final Fantasy Tactics Remake for Switch, but this one need to be bought on Switch :D

2022 the year of the SRPG! I’ve probably played Triangle Strategy the most out of any this year.. But TOR is right up there too.. I’ve had a lot of issues with the PSP version.. I could only make it about halfway through the game for whatever reason.. Although I did love it up until the point where I got stuck.. Seems like they got it perfect this time though and tweaked it making it far more streamlined and even more addictive.. The depth and replay ability seems through the roof much in the vein of full on strategy games such as Sid Meiers Civilization and the like..

Thanks for including the fact there's voice acting. I love rpg's but I'm so much more immersed in the game if instead of having to read everything, it's also voice acted. In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I skipped through the non-main standard quests dialogues because of that and simply completed them. I'm into rpg's for being immersed. Thanks mates!
