Part-time Gamer Review #43: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber

[marting1984]

good job. Slight critique, though. Cut the review time down. Hit some main points briefly. And spend time on the points that may be deal breakers or makers.

[fatmarioandmore]

This game got a good Story?

[imhavingsexrightnow]

underrated game

finished years ago and got the bad ending

im definetly beating it again for the good ending

this game on multi would be awesome

[WildmannRocks]

I truly loved this game, I once rented it at a store close to my house, and fell in love with it. I had the owner of the place buy it for me and played it so much. Every time I see a video or remember it I dig my N64 from under my bed and play sometimes because of how great it was.

One thing I recall is that even though the game was pretty unique at building units, I always had similar groups with melees and rangeds and a healer, this always felt more effective against most groups I fought.

[thorgrim103]

Whats sad is there are literally no video reviews of this game online beyond a plot synopisis and this.

[eggmansizzle]

The greatest thing? Owning the original game, having bought it when it first came out. Digital copy on computer, play with a gamepad. Woo, nostalgia time!

[Anemite]

so you got all the charcater for lawful path???

[chillcloud2]

Did anyone ever get to recruit the Knights Templars?

cause i never seem to get one

[chillcloud2]

Was anyone able to recruit a Knights Tamplar in their army?

[Brujo5ntrol]

and...chaotics teams?

[chillcloud2]

the evil blade is the blade, out of the whole game

[baconenjoyer]

not to be a flamer, but a lot of your units suck ass

[phoenixkane1986]

@baconenjoyer I beat the game with this army, so they must have been good enough. I'm sure I didn't use all of them.

[LittleMissSwayz]

Wow. Way to be boring.

[chillcloud2]

do you how to recruit all special characters for example the Zenobians: Destin,Debonair,Gilbert and the rest.

[Shipley002]

@chillcloud2 you get them in order. aisha, saradin, debonair (you can't have chosen to go to tremos mountains 1 and go north instead) then in the last chapter you get Destin and if your chaos frame is high enough you get gilbert. you chaos frame needs to be high to get them. you also have to keep dio on your team i believe and maybe Ankiseth

[funnypuppy15]

Man I miss the game. I lost it like a long time ago. x]

[itachilord100]

how do u get sphinx

[zyx1500]

i have 600 hours(give or take 100) of game time on this game XD my most played game EVER. you figure out how to use the hidden 255 of an item glitch?

[phoenixkane1986]

@zyx1500 I don't know that one. I bet you got every single special character didn't you?

[zyx1500]

@phoenixkane1986 Not yet.... still havent gotten Angel knight or seraph...

and my army gets so chaotic that i dont get any of the good endings or any of the zenobians besides ashia and saradin...

[Shipley002]

@phoenixkane1986 impossible based on chaos frame and dio and zenobians

[Mobstersoverdrive]

This game is epic

[phoenixkane1986]

@Mobstersoverdrive Indeed. I'm a little jealous that PSP is getting a remake of Tactics Ogre.

[Anemite]

@phoenixkane1986 not really need to, ogre battle 64 is still superior , but of course i dont deny that tactics ogre is a remarkable game

[persianknight32]

how long is this game?

Is this better then the snes version?

Does this have alot more content?

Do they follow a similar story?

Do u need to play the first to understand this one?

[phoenixkane1986]

@persianknight32 I beat this game in around 40 hours, I think.

I would say this is more accessible. The SNES is classic old school gaming but that can be offputting.

They follow a similar story in that you start off a rebellion against the evil power but the its a lot different otherwise.

The story in this game is told in a much more effective way.

You do not need to play the first one to understand this game.

[persianknight32]

@phoenixkane1986 thanks for the info

[Helfinator]

well it just came out on the virtual console today! : - )

[phoenixkane1986]

@Helfinator Hells yes!

[fmthebaron]

Ogre Battle 64 is definately the best Ogre Battle.

[JudgeMagisterDelita]

@fmthebaron tactics ogre let us cling together is better. Both are awesome though, heck EVERY Ogre Saga game is amazing.

[olimpiacampeon20]

they should make a remix of this game in which you can obtain all characters including biske and carth with the zenobians

[zizou324]

Biske FTW

[legendaryhero90]

they need to make a sequel to this game!!!!

ARGH!

Square-Enix needs to bring it back!!!

>:(

or at least re-release it for VC....

[Zargata]

I think a VC release is hopeful, since the first one came out on it. But since it is own by Square-Enix now, I doubt that Ogre Battle will ever have a new game. :(

[phoenixkane1986]

Yes, I agree with you. The chances of a new ogre battle game are slim to none. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is the closest that will come to the Ogre Battle Universe and thats a poor substitute.

[Zargata]

Yeah Final Fantasy Tactics fell flat for me, too many winy characters. But Atlas (the Publisher of ogre battle 64) has a new game they published called Knights in the Nightmare. I haven't gotten a chance yet to pick up a copy but it has some very similar elements to Ogre Battle. Ogre Battle 64 is my favorite strategy RPG ever, but it is good to see this kind of RPG isn't dead completely.

[phoenixkane1986]

I havn't played Knight in the Nightmare but I've heard good things.

[Apan1154]

This game is awesome! Make another video of it!
