First time I played it, on the first board, every guy dodged, counter attacked, then attacked and killed my guys...every...single...time. I returned the game right after that happened, but I heard that it is a good game

Tactics Ogre is like FFT, except ugly and boring.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

I played it for a couple of hours once.

I can say that it's better than Legend of Mana....

I loved Tactics Ogre...so blasted few Tactical RPGs out there! The only two things that bothered me were how easy it was to lose characters, and that level difference mattered too much. Aside from that, if you put in a descent amount of training time, it's not that bad.

Tactics Ogre was, I'm sure, a great game when it originally came out... this was around 8 or 9 years ago, though, on the SNES, and in Japan only. It was later ported to the PSX in English, by which time the graphics were horrifically dated.

I didn't care for it simply because it was too -easy-, actually... it is possible to arrange training battles between two groups of your own forces. Nothing wrong with that, except that you can set neither, one, or -both- of those teams to Computer control, and they still get XP. Meaning you could powerlevel your own army without even sitting in front of the game. I'd set both teams to Comp control, start the fight, then go out and mow the lawn. Come back half an hour later, start a new battle, set to comp control, go play Ultima Online (the hot thing at the time). Lather, rinse, repeat.

For a great tactical RPG, give Front Mission 3 a spin. Even better, if you know any Japanese and have a modified PSX, get a hold of Front Mission 2. Or, for a quickie but a goodie, try the original Vandal Hearts- a winner of a game if there ever was one.

Own it...too easy once you get Salamader...especially with 2 people But a pretty hard game if you don't aim for Vandelier class

But thanks for the info about Tactics Ogre
