Thanks for the link. I love how snazzy that interface looks, especially for the story branches. Can't wait to dive into this.

Looks awesome. The amount of content will drive the completionist in me insane though. Doesn't look as bad as Disgaea though in that sense. I'll pre-order it tomorrow.

The the top path also splits a second time.Minsc said:
There are also a bunch of mini-splits that completely change small groups of missions.

Does anybody know from the Japanese version what happens with level progress/weapons/equipment/etc when you go back to a previous checkpoint? Does it just go back to what you had when you originally passed it or does stuff from later progress carry over in some way?

Cosigned friend, this game is a encyclopedia in every sense of the word.

needs 2 extra inches
Does the scaling work both ways? if I go back and unlock a new route then decide to return to my original point, and where I was originally heading, does my level scale up to the exact level I was at, increase, decrease? I haven't tried the game or tested how battles are laid out but I hope any grinding (if the game requires/allows it) I made doesn't go to waste.Peff said:

I'm not *completely* sure it that this is exactly how it works, but as far as I know:
- In order to go back in time you need to use the World card items you get through the game.
- In order to being able to use these items, you first need to complete the game once. Then you're free to replay any anchor points.
- When you go back to, say, Chapter 1, you keep everything including levels and party members except for the ones that shouldn't be there because of the storyline (you do keep secondary recruitable characters, though). Enemies will also be a similar level to you, and they will have stronger equipment.
- If you decide to go back to Chapter 4 of the route you first took, again, everything is kept
Grinding has also been somewhat streamlined in this version, so it's usually not a very big deal, but in any case you do keep any progress. Hopefully Bebpo, KTallguy or any of the people who finished the JP game can confirm it works this way.

It really will be, I don't know how one could watch the video in this thread and not think this is perhaps the most full-featured SRPG ever (re)made.
It's incredible how much stat tracking / challenges / unlockables / encyclopedia stuff they packed in to this game.

Cause it's not in HD. lololololol
Wow. I don't even want to know how many hours I put into this on the Playstation. I'm fairly confident, though, that I'll put even more time into this one.
For someone without a PSP what would people recommend getting? Just the most recent normal PSP? Or try to stick it out for PSP2?

Branching. That's what I'm talking about. Interesting the bottom path for the main story line is all one main path, while the top path branches in to a significant section a second time.
It looks like there's a bunch of mini-branches throughout the main branches too.
It's because there are three main story paths: Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic. The end portion is similar regardless of which path you are on.
The mini-branches are likely:
- The slight non-linearities
- Order dependence
- Slightly different scenes depending on questions you answer or who you still have living.
I'm so, so glad they added different classes for story NPCs and monsters.

That sounds great to me!

I figure you mean someone without a PSP, but as for the PSP2 filling the gap, that would be highly dependent on whether it has a UMD drive and/or when this hits PSN, right? If it takes a year to hit the US PSN store and there's no UMD drive, a PSP2 wouldn't be the best choice, but i haven't been following the PSP2 specs...

It looks like the titles are received after certain points in the story. Does anybody know if there will also be a medal system like in Knights of Lodis?
Tactics Ogre has an excellent branching system imo. It doesn't have like major branches for every single choice you make, but aside from the the law/neutral/chaos paths in general, the game also has a bunch of minor stuff which really makes it feel like your actions "matter" to your followers. Various decisions you make throughout the game will determine which characters join you, and there's a sort of pseudo-loyalty system for each member in your party based on your actions in the story and/or your actions on the battlefield (what races you favor using, what races you kill, etc).
I dunno how much of it they improved, expanded, or removed in the remake, but it's definitely a much "deeper" game than FFT in terms of gameplay mechanics and frills.

Well, from what I understand, your characters can still die permanently, but there's measures to give you multiple chances to save them (rewind steps, the "3 life" system).
