I love seeing all of these stories of folks revisiting this game just to see what us crazy old timers have been ranting about 😀. This remake is like playing the PSP version optimally, but without the years of oddly specific background knowledge required, and tons of improvements. What a fantastic time to be a fan!

I was missing out so bad not playing it fr fr

I haven't played it since the SNES days... I don't recall the story line or anything else other than having a high mobility dragoon who slew everything LOL. Looking forward to Reborn some day when I have time - your guides are a gift (there was no YT back in the day of course!).

I love this game so much. My father HATED video game systems. But my Mom had got me a playststion, so the only way I could ever play this game, since I didn't have a TV in my room, was sneak downstairs early in the morning before my father went to work, and plug in my playstation, and play for an hour or 2 before he got up for work.

I'm just so happy to hear now from multiple sources that the game is mercilessly difficult. I'll never forget those moments in Final fantasy tactics where i just felt hard stuck. That first battle with Wiegraf... before he mutates. GOOD LORD! You literally need to get Hamedo from the monk class set along with double swords from the ninja class AND you have to go into it as a knight wearing heavy plate mail just to have a chance at the RNG letting you advance past his human form. I must have died to that bastard 25 times before i finally got it right. And i LOVE that about these games. I've never played this game, but having played the game that was inspired by it, i'm soo excited i can barely contain myself. Switch physical copy from Amazon should be in my mailbox tomorrow! REJOICE!

What annoys me more than it should in this game, is.. That all characters in combat is stuck in a walk cycle.. Why are whey walking? they are not getting anywhere.. Why not make a simple idle animation? This blows my mind!

I took a risk buying this game, as I never played the original... but it looks visually a lot like FF Tactics Advance that I just couldn't help myself. Glad to see the reviews are in and generally great (87 meta at this time). Just gotta finish God of War Ragnorok first!

[@Terron29]

I actually much prefer the name Tactics Ogre Reborn as opposed to Let us cling together which I always thought was both strange and cheesy. Great review man, cant wait for this game. Ordered the switch physical off amazon and I am so ready to dive in.

[@Jabroni_14]

I feel mixed about it since it sounds less goofy but ever since I found out the old title was a reference to the band queen I grew to like it

[@LoopingThrice]

It's also the name of the final chapter and is lore appropriate for the point, so it just HITS

Let us cling together is the name of a song by Queen. Their other game March of the Black Queen is another Queen song title.

[@Divine1Right]

I rather appreciated the Tactics Ogre franchise for their unconventional naming schemes. "Reborn" is cliche and boring. Names like "The March of the Black Queen" and "Let Us cling Together" are unique and stand out.

[@Crase1986]

The real question is, do certain classes still have unique animations with certain weapons. Like knights with swords and berserkers with axes

[@LoopingThrice]

Yes, it's all the same as it was

[@Crase1986]

@@LoopingThrice I ask, because the PSP version removed the unique attack animations. For example, in the PS1 version, if a warrior used a sword, he would just slash, but if a knight used it, he would unsheath the sword, do an "en garde" pose, and then slash.

The only new addition to the remake that I'm really unhappy with are the level caps between story missions. In a game like this, you want to be free to play around with as many builds / compositions as possible. With the level cap, a lot of possibilities will be locked until much later in the game.

so they only changed things that that didn´t need to be changed at all. while they did nothing to what needed to change for a modern re release on vastly more powerful hardware, i.e the graphics. so why would i get this inferior version that´s lacking in gameplay AND looks worse than i can make my original copy look on an emulator?

[@soratheorangejuicemascot5809]

Game mechanics is stripped down? I didn't like the PSP version but did they really change some classes to the point they are different?

[@symmetrie_bruch]

@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 well i wouldn´t call it stripped down. and i´m not saying these changes make it totally unplayable. to me, they´re just not neccessesary. the game was fine the way it was. it just seems like lazy cash grab. they´re charging 50 bucks for what exactly? an intermediate modder could whip that up in a week. so what are you actually paying for here? if you want full price money you should put in full price effort. like a modern remake for example or a part 2 for example. but just fiddling around a bit and calling it a day and wanting 50 bucks for that seems exceedingly lazy and greedy to me.

[@PhoenixPyreLoop]

It's a release on modern consoles, including an official PC based release. With new background art, new music and a dub. An intermediate modder would not whip that up in a week

i spent quite a bit of time playing this on psp emulator pretty recently, but after i made it pretty far most of my characters were suddenly hardly doing any damage. when i looked it up apparently the psp version is extremely in depth and requires a lot of time and patience to fully understand the many different systems within the game. my fear for this remaster is that it will be overly simplified and easy compared to the psp version.

It's a dubbed rerelease of the psp version, with new background art, new music and it's also $20 less than a AAA game. And also unlike a AAA title, this game is made by few enough people that it feels much more cohesive. For example, the composers all knew exactly where their music would be going.

All the people on KZbin who says this game is a Great game.. is just getting paid to say that By Square Enix. For a free copy of the game.. In my opinion, I enjoyed the story. The music and the areas. But everything else. Feels too slow. And it takes a really long time to upgrade anything. In this game. Compared to Fire Emblem three houses. and Final fantasy tactic. And even the final dungeons Are really bad put together. but in the end. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy this game. But just know what you are getting in to. But for me it's a 5/10.
