Originally developed for the Super Famicom in 1995 by Quest, the now-defunct studio of lauded director Yasumi Matsuno, Tactics Ogre did much to establish standards in the turn-based strategy genre, only for those ideas to result in its more popular spiritual successor, Final Fantasy Tactics, a few years later. I didn’t know that my characters had horoscopes! Check them out on the party menu in battle.Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together takes an outmoded, but influential, tactical RPG and overhauls it almost completely, in the process making it one of the premier RPGs on the PSP. Some characters speak incantations when they use spells. Michael’s alignment went from Netural to Chaotic! It turned out that she was no mere avenger, but the Thunder Maiden! She joined us as a guest, but we’ve yet to earn her trust. My headcanon is that Canopus is voiced by Gideon Emery, who also voiced Fenris ( Dragon Age II), among many other characters. These monsters that enjoy high mobility and terrain bonuses (Griffins, Octopi) are terrors! Michael: “Regret? There is too much for me to regret.” Arycelle Dania Before she fled, she said that he would regret letting her go. We defeated her, but Michael refused to finish her off. Let Us Suffer the Fate of the Betrayed and Exiled TogetherĪ woman named Arycelle sought Michael’s head, for her brother was slain at Balmamusa. When you reach a story branch, the icon for the game’s save file shows the branch. “ Michael… Build a new home… for our people.” It is for warriors to die on the battlefield.” Michael and Cat sought asylum in the port town of Asyton.Ĭhapter II: This World Can Be Put to Rights.īefore Dame Ravness perished from her wound, she said, “Though my blood be not true, it does not lessen my love for the Walister. The Duke was able to blame Michael for the massacre in Balmamusa. So apparently, that’s how he’d rather avenge the Walister people. Walister ill needs a savior such as them. I want to spill the guts of these traitors. As a parting gift, he shot Ravness with an arrow. “How dare you!”Īs Galgastani soldiers encroached upon the town, Leonar left with Vyce. Leonar insults her half-Galgastani heritage. I renounce the Duke… I renounce you all!” To think I was willing to give my life for such a man. “ You’d call such bloodshed ‘service’? Since when have we used our kinsmens’ lives as leverage? Our lord has betrayed us all. Leonar: “I would see through any of his grace’s decrees, as his loyal servant – no, as a loyal servant to our people.” Ravness: “Leonar, I cannot believe such an order came from his grace! And you would see this madness through!?” “What ever gave you the right to command me!” Dame Ravness Loxaerion You as well, Michael! You… you vex me! You always have!” So you’ve been waiting for this opportunity. “ Quiet, Catiua! You’ve made a fool of me long enough.
“ If it’s retribution you fear, fear not – they’ll all be in their graves, thanking you for martyring them!”Ĭatiua: “I don’t believe what I am hearing! If this is a jest, it is in terrible humor!” His character portrait now looks incredibly evil. Vyce: “What good are kinsmen who won’t lift arms for our cause? I’ll tell you. Leonar told Vyce to kill the trio, and that was apparently all the convincing that he needed. Leonar turned against Michael, and Catiua, Dame Ravness, and Vyce came out to see the commotion. Sir Leonar: “You are with me then? It is the only way. ‘Twas Duke Ronwey’s plan Leonar himself protested it at first, but saw no other way himself, so… Then, Sir Leonar arrived and pulled Michael aside to ask him to kill them under the guise of the Galgastani. Cool.ĭepending on the terrain, it can be hard to help a unit find their target. If you use the Chariot to replay a unit’s turn from earlier in the battle, the game lets you choose from each of the paths from which you diverged, up to a certain point.
In the dialog choices, #1 is diplomatic, while #2 is “grr, argh!”
I dislike the AI’s disinterest in self-preservation. It’s a huge pain hole because he chokes the battlefield with undead he has the environmental advantage with altitude his Word of Pain spell is a world of hurt he can summon even MORE undead he blocks arrows suspiciously often his mobility is high AND HE ESCAPES WHEN YOU “DEFEAT” HIM.īut at least you unlock the creepy Corpse Dancer title, so hey, that’s a thing
