I am very excited to play this as well, specially as a player of the PSP port and One Vision. My biggest questions are do healers scale well into endgame like OV and do scrolls still are broken like the PSP port in Reborn?
So which class got the rouges highest movement if any even got it at all? I hope they at least made a new class or a previous one we didn’t have to replace the huge hole left behind by removing it. I’ll always miss the rogue how dare you say no one will! Haha 😂
You mentioned later on in the story/chapters we can potentially be able to initiate world map/random battles, did this turn out to be true or is it all dumbed down training battles the whole way through? These are my biggest concerns. Oh and in the end are you purposely fighting lower level enemies? Cause they seem to be 4-5 levels lower than you lol I want this game to be challenging. Excellent work man!
I love almost everything I am seeing except not being able to change Denam's name at the beginning and the fact that Lombardia is no longer Air Elemental just doesn't sit well with me, not sure why.
I already pre-ordered since way back, and I am going to play the living hell out of this game but I hope we can get some PC mods that let us change back the elemental affinity of weapons so Lombardia is back to Air Elemental, as it should be.
I've been wondering how the speed of Terror Knights and Knights feels now? I've always dropped them by end of midgame due to their horrible RT. Do you feel they're more viable endgame now?
Are the enchiridion drops guaranteed or do you have to reload for the right enemies to show? Also are they the same enemies to where guides on LUCT work for farming those recipes? Also with the rogue being gone, what happened to the steal-exclusive items? – one example would be the ring from the reaper monster in phorampa? Blowguns as well are they still viable and insane as in LUCT? Last question, are unique RT's still lowest on characters like Ozma?
Do you know which classes have double attack? Buccaneer and Ninja I assume still? And Swordmaster looks awesome now. Most favourite is instill rune Fencer can make my OC Spellblade to bring through my first switch law playthrough before unlocking other route characters and doing a perfect Law through Coda again 🙂 hope lots of drops are easier to get. Saw you got priest classmark from a bonus objective you said, maybe Necro and other classes easier to get now?
So now small thrown axes and javelins you've seen? Disappointing as one of my favourites was a rogue with a knife and tomohawk early but would like to have any unit able to use a melee and a thrown like hoplite as a skirmisher
I forget, is Lindl chapter 4? Him and Azelstan and Ravness are some of my favourite sprites so want to get them on first "just messing around" playthrough to have them for all of them
I didnt play tactics ogre too much in my life, but one of my favorite games of all time is FF tactics, and see you talking about this game with such enthusiasm makes me sure that I'm going to enjoy this game a lot!
I assume you are recording this on the Steam version? If so have you experienced any performance issues? I'd like to buy on Steam for the modding potential, but SE PC releases are kinda iffy at times.
My fear Is " Will this game be as hard as before with all this improvements and removing LV requirement for wapons and abilities? ". This Is my biggest fear so far, or the late dungeons Will they be hard? Because this time you can easily get an Op squad…
Started listening. Got about 6 mins in. Then decided "Actually it seems like he had so much fun figuring this out I want to do it on my own too". Can't wait.
Is there any form of resurrecting a dead unit after battle, any kind of potion like the equivalent to give back hearts? Like carrying around the corpse like in PSP before you nommed them for another character? Or is it just outright permadeath?
I planned on not playing Reborn right away as I only recently began playing the psp version and actually reached the endgame in the last weeks. And it looks like destiny, cause my psp broke the day before release…guess I'm a buyer after all 🙂
Of course… it was fate that had designated CP as the based apostle of Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle. 🧐Also, kudos to the dev team for putting in the work on the game's combat, and unit customization system. Some tactical rpg's have their neat gear equipping, character classes, but Tactics Ogre… customization runs deep on this one. 🔍📊🧮♟
I'm not liking this, what feels to be a dumbed down and nerfed, skill system. Also the cards popping out of thin air instead of from defeated enemies is weird.
I have a question about loyalty. Arycelle situation. How do you keep her now if you choose to go Neutral? Do skills level up as before to raise loyalty? Or that changed too?
Todays the day! Never played a TO game but two weeks ago I randomly got an urge to play some FFT. Haven’t played since I was a kid and was hoping it was on steam but TOR came up and I was like oh wow I’ve heard of this but never played, I’ll look into it. Needless to say the past two weeks I’ve been binging all your TO content and can’t get enough! Can’t wait to see your upcoming videos now that TOR is out and you can unleash all your TOR content! Thank you!!!!
1. What are the conditions to obtain the Angels/Lich class in Reborn? Is it different, same as the original (SNES/PSX), or same as LUCT (PSP)? 2. Are there any changes to the missable Tittle Orders "NO incap, deaths, & chariot"? (Is a new game still required once you mess them up?)
Stoked to see how pleased you are with this. Been a fan of the game since the PSP, and found you when I found the One Vision mod. Love your enthusiasm for the game.
Epic video, truly a joy to watch, can't wait to get the game tonight! Question: the Wight who drops the book that fell off! In Reborn are unique item drops/missable items (before World) from particular enemies guaranteed 100% drops now? Or…. do the same old days of chariot'ing back… endlessly…. to pop the drop still exist?
You know Tiger Bagh Nakh is hillarious name because the "bagh Nakh" is indian/Bangla. Literally means tiger claws. Bagh means tiger and nakh means claws.
The music slaps lol yep totally agree. It was the first thing that had me stop and go whoa that's amazing.
I'm still trying to find my groove with the skill up system, compared to spending points on desired skills, then ranking them up. So skills are automatically rewarded upon leveling instead of purchased with points. And if you change class, you already get the skills for the new job based on the characters level. Initially both felt kind of cheap to me since I either didn't get to buy/choose the skill with points, or that when changing class I didn't have to 'earn' the new skills. Now that I've played longer I'm appreciating these areas being simplified.
But I'm still wondering about the depth. What skills 'rank up? Weapon skills obviously. But others might be hidden or there is no rank up? Like magic/elemental? I've seen Spirit Surge used and say that there was a skill up. But I don't see a skill up/rank up indicator on the actual skill/spell.
While I'm waiting your answer on part I video i I would like to ask you what do you think about the missing tarot card system :)… I mean was one of the coolest thing on the game and I loved to collect tarot cards and use it when I needed it….and now is all gone 🙁

yo Rictor is on the top-right at 36:19. Can we use him or what?

Amazing review!
I assume you are recording this on the Steam version? If so have you experienced any performance issues? I'd like to buy on
Steam for the modding potential, but SE PC releases are kinda iffy at times.
I enjoyed this part review I’m anticipating preorder game arriving Friday
My fear Is " Will this game be as hard as before with all this improvements and removing LV requirement for wapons and abilities? ". This Is my biggest fear so far, or the late dungeons Will they be hard? Because this time you can easily get an Op squad…
Berserker bias
Question that I hadn't seen answered yet: are we back to set hp restoration for healing spells or does it scale like it does in one vision?
OMG at 58:30, the gun shot that knocks back the skeleton TO HIS UNDEATH WITH A SCREAM is soooo satisfying!!!!
Fug yeah another video! *sees playbacktime

CP mentions "Bling Guardian"

Sorry man, you sound like a hell of a guy, but you talk too much.
Nothing cant be wrong
Hobyrim with glock.
If only it would just let me install it…not sure if it will be at midnight or some other time.
It's out tomorrow

Glad Swordmasters are worth playing! What stats matter most for them in this version?
Did they do well with Ninja's too? Know they mentioned updating ninjitsu's too.
1. What are the conditions to obtain the Angels/Lich class in Reborn? Is it different, same as the original (SNES/PSX), or same as LUCT (PSP)?

I loved everything, except the 4 spell limit.
Stoked to see how pleased you are with this. Been a fan of the game since the PSP, and found you when I found the One Vision mod. Love your enthusiasm for the game.
Can you customize the color of your generic units? That’s always something I wanted on the PlayStation version

I absolutely love the contrast between the review for new players and the mechanical breakdown for returning players in video length. Lol
You know Tiger Bagh Nakh is hillarious name because the "bagh Nakh" is indian/Bangla. Literally means tiger claws. Bagh means tiger and nakh means claws.
All this in depth mechanic discussion and I'm still struggling with Chaos or Law first haha
Devs confirm fans of One vision or One vision secret dev mod?
The music slaps lol yep totally agree. It was the first thing that had me stop and go whoa that's amazing.

Bought this game for the 3rd and 4th times now (PS5 and Switch) and I still own my PSX and PSP copies of the game.
The only game I’ve purchased more times than Tactics Ogre is Final Fantasy VI, which in my opinion is the greatest video game ever created.
As far as I’m concerned, Tactics Ogre sits in a class with FFVI, Chrono Trigger, and and FFT as my all time favorites.
Excited as hell to be playing through this journey again.
Anyone know if they will be bringing back the option to recruit the rogues?
its sold out day 2 on my region, having a hard time getting physical copy on switch
This guy needs more likes on this video
Neutral Denim.
wat.
When you say this is game of the decade for you, it feels so good because i know i'm gonna be learning so much from such a passionate fan !
Keep them comin' ! 👌
Is level 40 the cap for characters ?
Coffee, did you snag the Japanese special edition? I just got mine and it is beautiful.
