Give me. Now. The game, too, I suppose.

 

[suzu]

Do want that tarot card deck.. the game too of course.

 

[oracrest]

Much sooner than I expected!

 

[Seda]

Never played Tactics Ogre....but looking great!

I suppose this is a good as place as any to ask: I've heard this game, at least the original, featured perma-deaths like Fire Emblem. If that’s true is there anything in this version to make it more forgiving?

I'm sold on the visuals, music, style, premise, and the promise of a FFT like experience. Oh how I would love that. However I could say the same for Fire Emblem yet I always struggle to push through those games due to perma-deaths. I don’t enjoy the “challenge” of losing a character I’ve spent countless hours raising because I was less than perfect.

In the other thread, people said you could rewind turns so you don't make that fatal mistake. And, I think, an option similar to FFT where your deaded person won't stay deaded until after they've been deaded for three turns.

- There is an eventual resurrection spell.
- This version lets you rewind battles.
- It isn't as filled to the brim with one-hit-crit-death bullshit as Fire Emblem is.

I thought I was playing it wrong. Good to know that isn't just me.

 

[Dresden]

Oh my goodness.

Yes.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Same and can't wait.

 

[Peff]

You probably are . It's inevitable that it happens a couple of times, but situations where you don't get many chances to put one-hittable units safe are very rare.

Thanks for the response guys.

Make room on the hype train!

 

[Paznos]

I have the GBA game and think I played an older title but can't remember which one but can't wait for this.

 

[TheSeks]

Okay. Now where is Parasite Eve 3? ;__;

 

[Grimmy]

Okay. Now where is Parasite Eve 3? ;__;

The 3rd Birthday and Dissidia Duodecim are the only two left with the general Q1 2011 release dates.

But whyyyyyy must they release Tactics Ogre and Ys I & II Chronicles on the same day??? My wallet....

 

[daoster]

Just when I think I won't be using my PSP anymore (until Agito)

Boom!
Bam!

Thank you SE!

 

[TreIII]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Now the path for my Amazon credit is SET! :lol

 

[Decado]

ARGH! I would love a PSN version. I just don't know if I can bring myself to buy a PSP for this game...let along play *any* game on such a tiny screen.

 

[kadotsu]

Please do a collectors edition for Europe, SE!

 

[Dead Prince]

PSP on sale during black friday. buy a component cable to play on tv ;P

 

[John Harker]

As of now, most anticipated title of 2011.

 

[lordoftherink]

Don't know if this is new, but NA boxart:

 

[Hikash Winzalf]

It's old(fortunately). Here is the new one:

From Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YVK5T8/?tag=neogaf0e-20 but they made it back to the old one.:/ It's only a placeholder I think.

 

[Hobbun]

That boxart is MUCH better. However, your Amazon link still has the old one (boxart), as well.

 

[Hikash Winzalf]

That boxart is MUCH better. However, your Amazon link still has the old one.

Yeah, I've just seen that, I edited.

 

[Peff]

Yeah, I think the whole "logo and white background" works well for Final Fantasy but when you have Yoshida's artwork it's a crime not to make a super gorgeous cover.

Still, the important thing is the contents of the case

 

[Dead Prince]

hope the manual is in color.

I don’t even like the logo with white background with Final Fantasy, they can do better than that.

But, I’ve never truly cared about boxart in the end. As you said, it’s the contents inside that matters. (And I also hope they have a color manual).

 

[Hikash Winzalf]

NA version of FFT War of the Lions had a B&W manual?

 

[Dead Prince]

NA version of FFT War of the Lions had a B&W manual?

no. it's in color. and pretty to look at. (playing WotL now)

 

[Hikash Winzalf]

no. it's in color. and pretty to look at. (playing WotL now)

So I'm pretty confident this one will be in color too.

Oh thank god.

Was scared that shitty NA boxart syndrome had struck again.

 

[Zoe]

Says to visit the official site to find out how to get the cards but I visited and didn't find shit. It's not updated yet (they don't have the release date, for example). Last update on there was Nov 4.

Ok, good, I'm not the only one.

 

[rush777]

sweetness! day 1.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Meh, getting the PSN version so that I can own it FOREVER.

 

[Dead Prince]

CFW psp. rip the UMD and own it forever ;P and this includes tarot cards!! I'd lol if PSN version is the same price as UMD.

 

[lordoftherink]

Looks like I shouldn't have posted the image directly from gamefly. In Canada it is the correct art, but I guess for people elsewhere it was showing up as the placeholder. My bad.

The actual game should be great, really looking forward to trying out the series for the first time.

 

[CO_Andy]

I like the box art, but it doesn't seem well-suited for the west.

The original cover would of been a better choice.

 

[Augemitbutter]

Meh, getting the PSN version so that I can own it FOREVER.

uh, a physical copy can last you forever if you take care of it. especially if you can rip it

 

[lupin23rd]

Thanks for the response guys.

Make room on the hype train!

IIRC it's also not like Fire Emblem in the sense that not all characters are "main" characters, I remember having filler characters you can create at any time that get rotated out as main storyline guys come in.

 

[Rahxephon91]

Never played this before, but I like Tactics and I think I shall give this a try.

 

[Freyjadour]

Fuck yeah.

Time for more Queen.

 

[Decado]

PSP on sale during black friday. buy a component cable to play on tv ;P

How does that actually look? Tiny screen blown up to 46 inches. Hmmm....

Also, I live in Canada. We don't get deals like that.

 

[bernardobri]

Damn, I want those tarot cards... Probably they are gonna end up as pre-order crap that I can't get in-store :/

 

[farnham]

let us celebrate with queen

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Don't know if this is new, but NA boxart:

Putting in a preorder so fast it breaks the laws of physics.

 

[HK-47]

Give the OST a listen to up the hype
