Featured Game #19 (March 2025): Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber Anonymous 03/01/2025 (Sat) 02:47:12 Id: fa2a5c No. 1075359 >>1075718 >>1077741 >>1077745
>What is this? Games are chosen (relatively or totally obscure on purpose) with hopes of bringing new avenues of playing potential to anons with narrow video game perspectives. The goal isn't to pick bad games, but obscure ones nobody, or as few people as possible, have played. You can play the game and then use that fact as bragging rights to others! You can use it to broaden your backlog horizons! Or you can forget about it. THIS GAME: Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber Released July 14, 1999 on Nintendo 64 Published by Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Atlus U.S.A., Inc Developed by Quest Corporation Role-playing (RPG), strategy / tactics, top-down, turn-based, fantasy, 1-player >Where do I get this? https://myrient.erista.me/files/No-Intro/Nintendo%20-%20Nintendo%2064%20%28BigEndian%29/Ogre%20Battle%2064%20-%20Person%20of%20Lordly%20Caliber%20%28USA%29%20%28Rev%201%29.zip >How does it play? Ogre Battle 64 is a semi-sequel to the original Ogre Battle, and is the third game in the series. Like its predecessors, the game is a tactical RPG. The main character, Magnus, leads many troops into each battle, and the player must control how each group attacks or defends, and whether straightforward attacks or magic shall be used. Depending on the player's choices, there are branching levels, each with their own difficulty levels. The more battles the player faces and completes, the more experience each warrior in the team gathers. One of the Largest N64® Games Ever Real Time Battle System Save Up To 3 Separate Game Files Multiple Quests Enhance Game Play 3-D Field Map Over 50 Hours of Game Play with Multiple Endings The Holy Lodis Empire, rumored to be planning the domination of the entire continent of Zeteginia... Magnus Gallant is assigned to the Southern Division of the Palatinean Army, where he witnesses the plight of the lower class, oppressed by the Empire and Treated as livestock... ABOUT FEATURED GAME AND HOW GAMES ARE FEATURED: This event's now Featured Game for flexible uptime. For transparency, integrity, verifiability, and least drama, moderators will select all future Featured Games by a moderator's roulette spin, then by this list, non-negotiably so process tampering doesn't derail Featured Games. As a rule, please discuss the game, not this nor drama, thank you. 1) A moderator signs his role then roulette spins a die with 4000 sides using the command /roll{1d4000}; 2) He searches this numbered item in the gr.blade.sk spreadsheet; 3) He counts up from that item, including that item, to a console or handheld game whose console or handheld released in any region before 2005; 4) He continues to count if the game relies on modern hardware, as most people won't be able to enjoy it, rendering the thread kind of pointless; 5) He continues if it's too popular. "Too popular" is non-negotiably decided by the moderator, but examples are CoD, FIFA, and GTA; 6) He continues if it cannot be emulated at all, to mitigate virus risks and avoid broken games; 7) He continues if it's always-online, live service, only mobile, only multiplayer, depends on external servers, or requires overly gimmicky controls; 8) He can continue 1 or 2 more games ahead at his discretion, but no further. >>1075344 (1071277) gets 1673, then rule 4 gets 1677, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber.

Surprised to see OB64, was my second favorite RPG on N64 after Paper Mario. If you like Unicorn Overlord by Vanillaware, you'll like OB64, Unicorn Overlord's a spiritual successor to OB64 and the Ogre Battle series. It's no Quest 64 trash and it's underestimated. Music's Hitoshi Sakimoto, who did Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, Valkyria Chronicles, and some 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. Standout classes, combos, progression, and storyline. Tactical depth, learning's easy but mastery's hard. Keep your Chaos Frame high, it pays off. Obscure game few people have played but more people should play.
>>1075359 (OP) I played all the tactics ogre games but never got around to the Ogre Battle games for some reason.
>>1077668 You know, i'l just let you know. I played FF tactics GBA and Disgaea I never had a desire to play OGRE.
>>1075718 I'm still mad about Unicorn Overlord being a spiritual successor to Ogre Battle/Tactics instead of Grand Knights History
>>1075359 (OP) Aside from the rentry crap, is anyone archiving these threads? I've noticed the archive.moe links are either dead or incomplete, and the site won't be archived on any of the mainstream methods.

>>1075359 (OP) Hol up, wasnt this inspired by Queen?
>>1077745 The band Queen sang The March of the Black Queen which inspired Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen from 1993 for SNES and later Saturn, PlayStation, and Mobile. Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen inspired Ogre Battle 64 so yes, it was inspired by Queen through lineage.
>>1077748 I mean i literally has a song in my music folder with the title Ogre Battle by Queen.
>>1077668 I just started playing it today, but I don't feel like I have much to contribute conversationally. I do like it so far, I wish I played it a long time ago. I really liked Unicorn Overlord, so as previously stated it's no surprise that I like this. It's cool to have branching storylines. I think Law/Choas seems like a bitch to try to manage, I'm not really sure I'm going to bother. >>1077695 Tactics Ogre is not Ogre Battle.
How bad is the micromanagement? I tried Tactics Ogre on the PSP and it had the same problem as Final Fantasy Tactics: there is so much to micromanage the details of every single unit that it turns into nanomanagement and completely sucks out the fun for me. It would have been OK if it was a simple system of allocating stat points, but instead you have to come up with a development plan for your units and swap equipment and classes in advance to get the proper stats on level up, or something like that.

Finally got around to trying this. Took me a bit to get used to it, but I've been having fun. I really like the graphics in this as well. I was a tard for not having tried these before.
>>1078289 Wrong genre, Tactics Ogre is 10 niggas on a grid. Also, none (N O N E) of that shit you mentioned is even remotely necessary. >plop 10 niggas down >bop enemy niggas That's the game. Stop making up autistic problems and play the fucking game.
Playing this has made me want to revisit the tactics games now. What is the best version of Tactics Ogre let us cling together? I never realized how many consoles that game made it to + the remakes. I've only ever played the PS1 version.
>>1078445 Modded PSP version (One Vision).
>>1078521 >psp version had mods Nice. Thanks for the suggestion.
>>1077817 >>1078315 I do like Unicorn Overlord like >>1075420 says, so would get to Ogre 64, but work part-time and go to college. Could one of you players post updates for people like me? Might get to Ogre 64 this summer.
>>1078601 Played it for a bit. They change a lot of shit in this. It was irritating at first since I kept remembering things that got altered. After a bit of leveling though, it feels like an overall improvement. Not sure about some of the changes like the revival item causing the user to flee and get zero xp, but thankfully my units tend to survive so that issue doesn't pop up too much. The code to change how xp share works at the end of the battle to favor low level classes (so your classes reach similar levels faster) was nice as well.
>>1078972 Played some more, and I like and dislike it in equal measure now. You have a lot more options, but battles can be far more annoying and/or difficult now. I did some grinding by capturing a cleric in the corner and letting my units slap the shit out of her while she did nothing but heal herself. I never knew you could exhaust the steal skill on someone which was mildly neat to know as I rarely used it that often. Father Donnalto also has a finisher attack now after whipping and mugging her ass for 10 minutes straight so that will be nice for when someone tries to be an annoying shit to him later. I needed a break so I went back to playing Ogre Battle 64. I wish chasing down enemies/walking across the map was a bit faster in this. Honestly, a fast forward button would be a welcome addition if they ever decide to remake or remaster it. Though after typing this, I should check if the emulator can do this via hotkey or something. >>1077724 >unicorn overlord I still need to play that.
>>1080062 >Honestly, a fast forward button would be a welcome addition if they ever decide to remake or remaster it. Dunno about this game but most JRPGs are unplayable without a turbo / fast-forward toggle hotkey. Mandatory minion grinding is bad game design used to artificially lengthen the gameplay.
>>1080654 I'm impatient so having a fast forward button is a QoL feature I really appreciate in pretty much any game.
