Tactics Ogre Reborn Reviews are VERY Interesting...

[@ActionJaxonH]

Triangle Strategy and Tactics Ogre Reborn and Fire Emblem Three Houses and Fire Emblem Engage. All on a hybrid handheld OLED system with TV, handheld and tabletop. Golden era of gaming. I will not be convinced otherwise.

[@skavenslayer1933]

Freakin' love strategy games. And the OLED. Can't wait for FE: Engage.

[@JJ-et7il]

Triangle Strategy is the most underrated game of 2022. Idk how people claim to be JRPG fans but say tOo mUcH dIaLoGuE

[@sapphireflames8002]

i heard the switch is too weak i’m getting it on ps5

[@skavenslayer1933]

@@JJ-et7il yeah it saddens me how underrated it is. It's already an afterthought to many, and sadly won't be remembered as one of the great tactical RPGS. It will to me though. 👍

[@chrisruston3920]

@@JJ-et7il The story is what kept me engaged. I've never seen a boom of strategy games quite like this. You can also throw in Front Mission, Metal Slug Tactics, Advance Wars (whenever Nintendo decides to release it), and Marvel's Midnight Sun's.

I never played Tactics Ogre so I'm hyped getting into it!

It's a great great game. But be prepared for hard battles since you can't grind levels nor money

[@Official_RetroMania]

@@muddysky1464 I'm prepared! I don't like dying 30 million times but dying couple of times before beating a level, boss whatever is not the end of the world to me.

@@Official_RetroMania You can die and still win lol, just can't lose the main character

[@DesertRainReads]

@@Official_RetroMania it's challenging but not overly so I feel, it definitely makes you think about your strategies going into battle. I couldn't be happier that this exists though. I can live without the random encounters on the world map. Training is actually effective when it comes to leveling up your soldiers. Plus that rearranged soundtrack? Godly!

[@Mintcar923]

I played the hell out of the PSP version.. Never did finish tho.. The AI is quite stellar.. I think the reason why I'm such a fan of SRPGs and 4x Strategy games is I started playing chess back in 6th grade lol

[@JJ-et7il]

I'm always a bit taken aback when I remember this is a "smaller" channel. Is it just me or is OJ grinding out here like a beast? Channel seems ready to really blow up imo.

Good news! Tactics Ogre Reborn sold more in Japan than God of War: Ragnarok on its first launch week!

[@YacDiesel]

Already 7 hours in. So glad I get to play this after missing out on the SNES version. Reminds me of the countless hours I put into FF Tactics (its spiritual sequel).

[@DesertRainReads]

I actually like this game even more than FFT and that's saying something because FFT is also a special game.

[@seanothepop4638]

How? I beat it very quickly, there was not a lot of content compared to the psp version. The scores on steam are more telling, but also less than 2k which is a low sale for steam and a quarter of the reviews are negative. I found it a stripped down game, not a remaster.

[@alexundi]

I'm happy to see it scored well, but a bit sad to see that it has a higher score than triangle strategy. Yet another reason to not care about metacritic scores. If you search by genre on metacritic, the highest rated RPG of all time is... Divinity 2 for iOS with a 98, followed by Disco Elysium for PC at 97. These are fun games, but clearly metacritic has different priorities when it comes to rating games.

[@JJ-et7il]

I haven't played TO yet but TS is GOTY for me, in an amazing year too. People didn't like it because it had too much dialogue 🤣 idk which genre of games they usually play but it isn't JRPGs.

[@playername9391]

played Triangle Strategy but im gonna be honest TOLUCT is still king in this kind of style, TS was really lacking in the customization aspect that makes TO fun.

[@alexundi]

@@playername9391 Hopefully Tactics Orge does well enough to get us more remasters like it. I'd love to see FF Tactics series remastered, especially Tactics Advance and A2. Those two games are still stuck on their original systems. I still don't trust metacritic scores though lol. It's just a bunch of critic scores from people that may or may not even like the genre of the game they are reviewing. I'd much rather get the opinion of youtubers, like OJ, who I know what type of games they like.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

@@alexundi I have to say that metacritic gave a fair score on this game. I definitely enjoy it a lot more than Triangle Strategy, and that was a great game, but as a guy above said, this game allows WAY more customization and a sense of freedom while playing.

[@alexundi]

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 right on. Maybe I'll have to give it shot at some point. I played the original and the psp remake, and remember liking FF Tactics more, but to each their own.

[@tdotran]

Can’t wait to get my copy. I’m stoked.

[@andrews4731]

Just to be clear, the game first came out on Super Famicom, so it's a SNES game, but Japan only. It then was ported to PSP. Listening to OJ, one might get the impression that it was originally a PSP title, which is absolutely not the case

[@johncleamteodoro9707]

Been waiting for your Video, Sir OJ! Thank you so much!!!

[@TowerBooks3192]

I had to dig out my psp go in order to see the difference. I like the leveling change and the changes with the skills and items but some skills like the self-buffs feel too randomly triggered. The merging of TP and MP is kinda weird since they had to remove the MP recovery items from being sold. I feel the random buff cards are hit or miss. For one it actually creates an emergent gameplay where enemies that stack up attack buffs can become a huge threat.

[@thetravenousgamer]

Hey O.J. did you know that Harry McEntire (voice of Noah in XC3) made a KZbin account for the purpose of doing a spoiler free playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 3? He name drops you in his 4th episode (past the 15 minute mark when he's talking about the Nintendo Direct reveal) Also, can't wait to get my copy of Tactics Ogre, especially love the music from this series.

[@BrandonBey]

It's been my fav game of all time for 20 years! That games story changed my life.

[@DankMemeCenterX]

The switch continues to be the best systems for rpgs. Tactics Orge looks pretty good.

[@Mintcar923]

It's definitely the system of the present.. Maybe the PS5 or next gen Nintendo system will take over in the future but I'm quite enjoying this time period.. My Oled reminds me of my Vita when it was in it's prime.. And, thankfully I still have it to put together side by side..

Trying to decide between this and Pokémon. I know, they are completely different but I can only afford one. I have played triangle strategy, but never tried a Pokémon game. Leaning towards Tactics Ogre

[@YacDiesel]

If you’ve never tried a Pokémon game and have already cut your teeth with Triangle Strategy, I’d suggest purchasing Pokémon for the mere reason of experiencing something different.

[@TowerBooks3192]

Do you play with friends? If so then pokemon might be the game for you. If you aren't bothered by event pokemons or playing with friends then this game is surely the one to pick.

@@AZ23MJ I picked this over pokemon. BUT that is me being uninterested in pokemon after playing for so many years and its content is just going downhill. Do bear in mind that Tactics Ogre is a remake of a remake if I am not mistaken. I am like chapter 2 in reborn and I finished at least one ending (my memory is blurry on what other contents I did post game and if I also finished some of the other ending routes) on the PSP version. So if you got any questions about the game, feel free to ask any questions about Tactics Ogre and I will do my best to answer them.

[@patron7906]

Enjoying it, there are a couple changes I dislike over the psp version though. Not a fan of all the blue cards in combats. Great otherwise

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

The blue cards are okay, but my main gripe was no random battles in chapter 1. Which meant I can't recruit hawkmen or lizards there

[@Yusei255]

It's considered a tactical RPG, and is labelled as one Get it right next time.

[@retroxify]

Western audiences would identify it as a TRPG, but the correct genre in Japan is SRPG: _Simulation_ Role Playing Game. 'TRPG' in Japan is reserved for tabletop RPG's. It's really just semantics and not worth arguing, but just wanted to point that out.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

It's an SRPG btw

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 wrong, it's labelled as a tactical RPG, taken from the Nintendo site for it. -A *tactical role-playing game* depicting the struggle for control of the Valerian Isles. Even doing a quick google search will tell you that it is indeed a tactical RPG Nice try though.

I wish you would stop calling this game a PSP game. The PSP edition was itself a remaster of the Super Nintendo edition. This is an SNES game, not a PSP game.

Very excited to get my switch copy 🤩

[@rexation8952]

I think this game physically become rare...for a few reasons: -We've seen other classic strategy RPG physical releases become rare on the Switch, such as Langrisser 1&2 (as of this video, brand new copies are going for over MSRP) -Nintendo is openly discussing new Nintendo console hardware, putting this release in the latter half of the Nintendo Switch's life -There were not many physical copies of this printed. How do I know this? I can't say with utmost certainty, but when your local video game store only gets in the 1 copy that you had reserved, that is a pretty good indication. -It release is already overshadowed by the release of a different RPG release that is close in time to it...Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet

[@Kamisei85]

Should be a 95~. And yes it's the best srpg.

[@JohnSmith-ij3du]

I don’t agree with all the changes they made but thank god they fixed the crafting system from The PSP version.

[@Zeon081]

I love every single change they made. the game is more organic now and requires more strategizing and planing. PSP version was just too easy, you could steamroll through the main story by making Canopus an archer and twoshoting most bosses. Even a final boss was a joke if you had 2-3 archers and a lobber throwing debuffs. Now the game encourages you to use every class and prepare for battles carefully.

[@asu5632]

I agree switch oled probably looks great. I got it on ps5 and looked amazing

[@sierrakobold6896]

[@FartSmucker]

The level cap destroys the flow of this game, and any rpg for that matter. Modern day devs telling you how to play the game is a joke and nothing more. The flow of the game goes like this. Every few battles you're allowed to level up a few levels. You 'train' get no items while doing so or goth, you set your AI and turn the speed up and you're done. Its binary and not fun. You have no option to grind and be rewarded for your invested time or grind for items/crafting mats etc etc. So now rather than the challenge be with bosses or side content you struggle basically every battle but not really as, if you're experienced with the game its stll not bad on top of no death penalty. The time it takes to lose a character is a short eternity and might as well not even exist. If anyone played the PS1 version you remember not being able to resurrect anyone until you get the Priest which took until about level 15 or so AND wasn't a cheap spell to cast. The game feels more inline with a modern action game with some mild rpg elements to them and not how a good ol' tactical rpg should feel and in this game's case DID feel across its two previous versions.

[@Zeon081]

level cap is unnoticeable and does not disrupts the flaw at all. the game rewards you for playing the game instead of mindlessly grind easy battles till you become too op for story content.

- Level cap - Can't grind money or equipment until you found dungeons - Train is boring - Can't learn skills from a class to other Game is good, but it's not a final fantasy tactics+

[@Zeon081]

level cap is never an issue, grinding levels in previous versions would just scale enemies making the leveling pointless you don't need to grind for anything, money is abundant you never need to train, most of your characters hit the cap by playing the story you can transfer skills from one class to another, just not every skill FFT is a casual TO with linear story and cheesy mechanics

I know it's an old video but dude you people need to stop with the FFT worship. The only thing better about FFT is the main story. There is almost no tactics involved in FFT. The game was a joke so easy that almost no strategy us needed to win. Tactics ogre has never been easy on any port. You always have to use tactics not lvl or gear to win. I love FFT but compared to tactics ogre sorry FFT is nothing but a child's play copy.
