This still has the CHARIOT system, right? I remember going most of the game without touching it and then in act...3N? There was a dark knight I needed to keep alive and I spent over and hour just rewinding time and manipulating luck so she didn't get ganked immediately and I had a prayer of keeping her dumb rear end alive.

Gearhead posted:The great thing about this is, if this engine is the same sort of work as the FF Pixel Remaster engine we could see a lot of stuff re-released. I'd love a War of the Lions remake without the framerate jank. Me too on the War of the Lions thing, so long as they also do right by the multiplayer elements as well. Having a bunch of cool stuff locked behind MP in a PSP game of all things is so stupid it hurts *my* brain, and I'm not the idiot who thought of it. By the way, is this remake really in the FFPR engine? The graphics look extremely similar to the PSP version, which is a Very Good Thing, except for the font which I now admit looks more appropriate to a sci-fi game. marshmallow creep posted:This still has the CHARIOT system, right?

Sadly, there is probably no chance that they will get rid of non-controllable characters that one has to protect. They can say that they are redoing the AI, but I will believe it when I bloody see it especially as it concerns non-hostiles. I refuse to say 'friendly' in this context.

I'm torn on this announcement, because on one hand "gently caress yeah ogre battle series release," but on the other hand I did literally everything in the PsP remake. It doesn't sound like there's any new actual content, and I'll be hosed if I'm grinding through the palace of the dead twice a second time.

With improved AI, and this new skill system, I think it's going to be different enough to be worthwhile. no more "Oh god I accidentally taught my wizard something the AI will constantly use to no effect now i can never auto-battle again".

On the one hand this is basically my favorite tactical rpg of all time On the other I've put hundreds of hours into it already and I'm not entirely convinced they'll address the myriad design flaws the original and psp releases had If they do though, ho boy, I'll absolutely dig back in again If you've never played this game, buy it immediately if you like this genre even a little, it is absolutely one of the best (note I'm a gigantic loving Matsuno stan so I'll defend even his shittier games, but TO is legitimately great whether you go for a single storyline playthrough or dozens of hours exploring the tapestry of wartime chaos he's woven here) victrix fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Aug 10, 2022 |

Fun fact, I never got past like mission 5 in the PSP game because my Vita ate poo poo and died while playing this game. I look forward to getting it on PS5 or PC and actually trying it out again.

Like others, I would definitely enjoy a new game in the series, and if Matsuno actually had a hand in this enhanced port, then that's a good sign for the future (if not overly hopeful). This seems like a hybrid of the original title and the PSP's mechanics, in part, since they are reintroducing unit elements, individual levels, and the equip/item system has seemingly compromised between the two. It could very well mean a lot of mechanics have once again been adjusted in response. I would have said "Cool that's awesome, but whatever," if it were just a port, but it's more than that. Too bad everyone is always screaming all the time still. I wonder if the default font has lower case characters. Automating sentence caps would be easy, but I'm sure it'd miss a lot of proper nounds.

It's not bad, but taking me some getting used to as a "Real Time Tactical RPG". The demo is the first few missions (i'm only two missions in) but it has a good flow to it so far. I see it getting a bit more hectic when i have more than 4 units on the field. I went ahead and ordered the collector's edition because I have no self control and it comes with a freaking board game.

Everyone says that about the Switch, but I'm still scared to try it. You'll understand if I'm protective of a $300 piece of hardware and I don't want to brick it without a very, very good reason.

Knight of Lodis is okay but imo it's nowhere near as enjoyable as LUCT overall. The emblems your characters could earn from doing specific things in fights were cool and I wish more tactics games would steal that system. I've been playing the PSX release of LUCT lately because I just couldn't wait until November. If nothing else I have a newfound appreciation for any tactics game that doesn't play the spell animations for every single empty tile they target. Also it kinda runs like poo poo? At first I thought it was an emulator issue but it sounds like that's just how it was.

There might be a way to fix some of those issues with modern emulator features but it's not really as crippling a flaw here as it is in those Squaresoft ports imo. In those you were hitting an absurd ~5 second load time several times a minute in some cases, while in TO it's mostly just an annoyance.

Looking forward to getting this game. Tried it years ago on psx, but got stuck early game. Hopefully I'll be able to do better this time. Final Fantasy Tactics was one of my favorites growing up, so it'll be neat to experience the original some more.
