Himuro said:I wasn't specifically talking about Ogre Battle, but Tactics Ogre. That's what I thought: I thought TO and FFT were thinly connected.
I don't consider Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle in the same series because the battle systems are so distinctively different.
ethelred said:TO has no relation to FFT in its story aside from the fact that Matsuno and his team just carbon copied Denim, Vice, Kachua, and Lans in order to get Ramza, Delita, Alma/Ovelia, and Vormav. TO IS, however, entirely and completely connected to OB.
I mean, you've even got a bunch of returning characters from OB to TO -- Lans Hamilton (the Holy Knight), Canopus, Warren, Tristan Zenboa, all are featured in major roles in Ogre Battle.
Himuro said:OB64 was done by Matsuno, or was that another TO: Knights of Lodis deal?
That's interesting, Ethel. Now I have incentive to get into Ogre Battle again. I didn't really care for it.
FFTA is a few years more recent than TO:KOL.Himuro said:FFT hasn't come out in recent years.

Himuro said:FFTA doesn't exist
Himuro said:Is the Saturn one particuarly rare?
Can we have a comparison of all the versions? I have the PSX version.
Himuro said:Was it released only in Japan?
Ah, I loved GameFan. I'd start buying gaming magazines again if they resurected. Beautiful shiny page quality, constant import coverage, the GameCave gaming hobbyist pages in the back, all the editor personas, etc. EGM, GamePro, and GamePlayers just couldn't compare.JoshuaJSlone said:Series with entries that have come out in recent years?
As has already been said, it's mostly that even among fans of the genre the original game has mostly been out of reach. It didn't arrive for SNES. It wasn't easy to get ahold of for PlayStation. It didn't have a readily available ROM translation like other important but left-in-Japan games. So to me, Shining Force II and Final Fantasy Tactics were my intro to that type of game, while I've still yet to play the original Tactics Ogre.
Yeah, I remember that. I wasn't a big GameFan reader, so it was probably the issue I bought for Seiken Densetsu 3 coverage.
Especially in America...HolyStar said:B/c Tactics Ogre: LuCT is the rarest of the Ogre Battle games.
Himuro said:I have hardly seen anyone talk about TO in my almost 2 years here at gaf. It's mostly FFT/Disgaea/N1/FE.
The "limited edition" rerelease selling twice as many copies. :lol How messed up is that?jarrod said:Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (SNES) 19,174
