The portraits in the EO series are basically a kind of Super Deformed style. He can do normal proportions fine, but sometimes issues where characters look horribly squashed pop up when he's doing the style he uses for the EO series.

No, it was fine for me. I don't think the game is supposed to do that, though an intentional crash wouldn't be out of character.

However, it does teleport you to the Path of Enlightenment. Well, sort of.

the character art is probably the worst aspect of the EO series

I'm surprised it stayed young child, ancient old man, 20-30's man/woman for so long. I was expecting the 3DS jump to give them tons of room to put more character art in.

Also I really like this battle theme but it's probably because I spent three days trying to think of what game it was from until it just suddenly came to me out of nowhere.

next time i'll ask my guy to make a crazy final boss track with a driving drum track like this, kenji ito is so fuckin wild. strangely i feel like his older work is better because he had to get creative with his synth selection and he used like jazz organs and weird unique snes chip sounds but these days he's pretty consistently only deploying the same three or four instruments

I am replaying Tactics Ogre PSP and I've forgotten almost everything, I never beat it the first time. Protips for character building/stuff to watch for welcome, particularly traps to avoid. Most of the google results are people hyper-fixated on endgame results prescribing very specific opening strategies, which seems like no fun.

I remember that Canopus is god, I put daggers and a bow on him and let him assassinate people. I know Archers are OP and Knights stink. I have no idea what to do with my casters, I've seen people advocate for dark magic so I have a dark enchantress, but I have no idea what to make of the other elements. I have a guy classed into Beast Tamer with Axe/Shortbow and I can't quite figure out numerically why he seems to swing like a wet noodle compared to everyone.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Archers are overpowered, Valkyries are good supports later on with their spells, avoid dark because a ton of enemies are undead so they're effectively useless.

A universal skill you want is human anatomy, because most of your story battles is against humans.

No really, archers are seriously overpowered because TO works on a turn system based around movement.

RT is also king and iirc every single unit you recruit except one has negative RT while generics are all stuck at 0.

Casters Instill element and Boon of Swiftness are really good. Like Tae said, try to avoid dark though because a lot of things resist it. If you are just using your caster as a buffer, give them a lobber weapon too so they can throw around hp/mp items.

Also because Archer range can be much longer than the demonstrated range depending on elevation.
Magic attacks become utterly, utterly useless towards the endgame (Like, 1 damage to everything useless).

Crafting is actively horrible to engage in, so either skip it or cheat through it. There's some nice stuff behind it but don't torture yourself by trying to do it legit.

People always think I'm being ironic when I say that Eternity is the best boss song in the genre (and also the only notable thing about Blue Dragon at all). I am not. Eternity rules.

I also really dig Otherworld from FFX, which greatly benefits from being so drastically different from the rest of the OST. Like, if Otherworld was a battle theme in a DMC game, you'd probably only kinda half remember it. But being in the same game as Hymn of the Fayth makes it seems so much more bombastic.

Otherworld is pretty whatever to me. Uematsu didn't even manage to get a band mad at him unlike another Final Fantasy (and composer, Soken) and Powerman 5000. Like I think it's really hard to do anything in that vein and not have it sound like total rear end so you better do it so well the actual people who make it get mad at you.

I've never heard of that game until just now, but that song also rules. It reminds me of Crush 40 in all the right ways.

Basically, if your boss theme doesn't have lyrics, you have hosed up.
