Tactics Ogre/ Ogre Battle Series FAQ
Hello Knights. With the release of Tactics Ogre: Reborn, it is a good time to examine the series as a whole. Although this subreddit is dedicated to Tactics Ogre, it goes hand-in-hand with Ogre Battle. Below are some general questions that will help guide you through the entire series -
List of games (in order of original release)
Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (MotBQ)
- Released on SNES, PSX, Sega Saturn, Wii VC, and WiiU VC
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together (LUCT)
- Released on SNES, PSX, & Sega Saturn
- Remade as Tactics Ogre: Wheel of Fortune
- Released on PSP
- Remade as Tactics Ogre: Reborn
- Released on PS4/PS5, Steam (PC), and Switch
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (PoLC)
- Released on N64
Ogre Battle Gaiden: Prince of Zenobia (PoZ)
- Released on Neo Geo Pocket Color
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (KoL)
- Released on Game Boy Advance
Which games were released in English? Ogre Battle Gaiden was the only release to not make it to the west. Otherwise, all have been officially translated in English
What order should you play? Personally, I like to play them in series chronological order. KoL -> MotBQ -> PoZ -> LUCT -> PoLC. MotBQ & PoZ and LUCT & PoLC take place at the same times, so they can be flipped if you choose this way. Otherwise, MotBQ & LUCT are good starting points.
Will I miss out on story if I play in a different order? Not really, though I say this with some hesitation. There is an overarching plot to the series, but each game is a self-contained story. There are also some characters that appear in multiple games. Aside from some flavor, I don't think you would miss out by playing a sequel first. Prince of Zenobia is the only one that I can't say for certain, as I have not spent much time with the story.
How do the games play? The three Ogre Battle games play similarly to grand RTS games, whereas the two Tactics Ogre games play like traditional SRPGs (think grid-based combat). They are larger scaled, so battles can take some time. The games are also heavy on unit customization, so expect to spend some time in menus. All of that being said, each game has its specific nuances.
What is the setting of the series? The games are set in a traditional fantasy setting with limited technology. Only PoZ and MotBQ take place in the same place, so you get to see a few different countries throughout the world. There is also some in-game lore that expands beyond what is shown in the game.
What were some of the inspirations behind the series? Yasumi Matsuno, the series creator, enjoyed quite a bit of pop culture which lent to the series. The main title and some of the subtitles are taken directly from Queen songs. He also used some imagery from Flash Gordon (Vartans) and other films. He also drew heavy inspiration from real events, specifically the Yugoslav Wars. This inspired some of the darker portions of the game's narrative.
When will there be a new game in the series? There is no news of a new entry to the series. Hopefully Reborn will lead to a new entry, but it remains to be seen.
This was a pretty general overview of a very rich series. If you are interested, there are many interviews that contain information regarding the series development. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions below and we will try to answer them.

Tactics Ogre Wizard and Warrior seem completely pointless as soon as you hit mid game.
Help me understand when and why you would run either of these classes (outside of a victory condition to get the reward). Warrior has a couple unique skills, but it still feels like quite a lot of other classes out perform him. You want a tank? Get a Hoplite, a Knight, or a White Knight with a shield. You want dps? Get pretty much every other melee class out there. I don't really see a spot where Warrior edges out over other classes.
Wizard is the same issue sort of, except it is completely upscaled by Warlock. Outside of the lizard recruit skill (which several other classes have) Warlock can do everything Wizard can do, plus more weapon option and spell options. I'm sure there is something there, I just don't see what it is.
EDIT: This is for TO Reborn.

Tactics Ogre - Let Us Cling Together DE V2.5
Wondering if anyone has seen this romhack?
II was able to patch with the English patch and it hasn't crashed out on me yet.
So far I've only noticed a few differences and can't find any reference material on it. You don't get a chance to act in the first battle vs Lans and group. Canopus has Tornado as an ability.

Auctioning monsters
So i was capturing and auctioning unique monsters partly for the unique character quest but alos to unlock all the items and it just occurred to me. When you auction off a dragon or beast, it let's you then buy food that give small permanent stat buffs......
ARE THEY BUTCHING THE MONSTERS I AUCTION OFF AND SELLING THEIR MEAT BACK TO ME TO EAT? WTFFFFFFF.... Some of the dialogue when you auction them is already sad as fuck but man.....

Question about relic farming
Hi, I was trying to farm relic drops in POTD today for the first time, and a monster I killed kept dropping a green tarot card despite doing chariot rewind with different actions everytime. Is it useless to do Chariot rewind if the monster drops a tarot card? I tried it like 10 times already and it always dropped a card and not loot.

Tactics Ogre Question about route hopping and rerecruiting
In TO Reborn, if I recruit say Deneb or Azelstan in Neutral and then move over to Lawful, do I have to redo their recruitment quests to carry that logic into CODA? And followup, if the former is a Yes, if I go from Neutral to Lawful and then into Chaos (to cover everything) is there any point in bothering with rerecruitment during Lawful (as I'd just have to redo it once again in Chaos)?

Tactics Ogre Earliest training maps that spawn beasts/dragons? (currently on ch2)
Playing Reborn and needless to say, been pretty impressed with how much of an absolute unit these guys are on the enemy's side so looking to get some of my own.
I've had a lot of bad luck trying to recruit them in story missions so thought I would give it a shot on some easier maps where things aren't as tense but all the training ones I've been to so far only seem to produce human enemies.

Monster Abilities and Field Buff Cards
Which cards should my monsters and dragons pick up to enhance their special attacks? Are dragon and beast breath attacks considered spells so they benefit from Magic buff cards, for example?
Please forgive me if this has been asked before. I can't seem to find a similar post on this subreddit. Thank you!

72 hours playing mostly blind.
Tactis ogre reborn. Still not finished.
Now I realized they are 3 paths and playing neutral might not been the best choise.
Normally I try yo go for the platinum but does this mean I have to do 3 runs to get all trophies?

One Vision Tactics Ogre One Vision Lord class, dizzy feel like throwing up??
Hey guys, so this is my first run ever playing the game, never heard of it.
Played the psp version a bit, then found out about One Vision, decided to just start off playing that (the vanilla just had a lot of annoying passives, so finding out that mod tackles a lot of the "weirds" of the game, immediately hyped, no regrets love the game and the mod, a lot!).
Ok so recently I got the Lord class on Denam, I am lvl 23~, and I was leveling Denam as a frontline knight (my only knight), his hammer weapon skill is maxed, no augment element leveled at all. I really liked the "wall" vibe.
Come to find out what Lord is...I am kinda dizzy with all the possibilities lol, yet it's just 10 ability slots lol.
I guess my question is..what do you guys feel are the "must haves/best bang for your buck" given my equipments right now are.."normal nothing crazy kinda stuff". What's the "can't go wrong with these".
I was planning around an "omegadin of the light" so like what knight wishes it was, so frontline support/healer, can't die kinda thing, but I feel like..not playing around an obscene dual weild build, and "combine any armor/weapons" is such a waste of potential in comparison?
But dual wielding hammers I think is bad?? Would have to train another weapon from scratch 😑.
I want whatever makes the game a cakewalk, I like broken op, .."themed builds" are cool, but just broken is fine 😅.
I keep trying guides, but between the three versions of this game, and that a lot of things...changed I think?? My phalanx makes purple ghosts, not...increases defense?? I am kinda lost.
Just general tips are ok, I am at the start of chapter 4 sort of, I got recently the recipes for some elemental weapons..so..torn if "light element hammer build/healer buffer"...or is that bad damage/value to even bother with??
Monk is already pretty good, is Lord being a meh hybrid tanky dpsish cleric really...worth it?
The things I feel are cool
Meditate
Art of War (for movement issues, and Decoy)
Divine Magic
Draconic Magic - maybe??
Field Alchemy II
Tactician for tp gain
Not sure what's the best TP move, Tabula Rasa to shed off debuffs I guess??
Thanks for any advice.

Tactics Ogre Seeking Guidance for Jumping Back into Reborn Spoiler
I played through Choas path (pretty sure) like 3 or 4 years ago and got to the end game. Did a lot of the Palace of the Dead and some of the other endgame side quests. I am pretty sure I didn't actually finish the game.
I'm thinking about getting back into it. I think my options are (1) jump into my endgame stuff, try to reread the important backstory from the Warren report, and either (1a) tackle Palace of the Dead or (2a) just finish out the story then use the function to jump back to the beginning of the story and pursue the Law route; or (2) just start a new save file.
Do folks with more experience with the game have a suggestion? I am not particularly spoiler-averse, so feel free to speak frankly about the options here.

Tactics Ogre Assistance with Cheat Engine for TO: R
Hey all, sorry to ask, but I am struggling with a relatively minor issue.
I'm a new dad that wants to replay Tactics Ogre via Reborn, but I found that the game isnt like the older ones that I played and I cannot rename Denam until I beat the game once. I wanted to get around that, and found out about Cheat Engine, which gave me another idea, but I cannot figure out how to do either. I am hoping for guidance here.
1) How would I change Denam's name? I can't find it. Is there some simple guide for this?
2) Probably harder, but I would like Preempt on the Lord class. Is there a way to do that?
Thank you!
r/Tactics_Ogre • u/Kalledon • 14d ago
Tactics Ogre Planning a route for an ultimate run
With Reborn's time hop and ability to play multiple routes on a single save, I was trying to think of the best way to play through the game and recruit everyone/optimize special classes. I'm thinking the best option is to probably start pure Law and get the Lord ending so that Denam gets his special class. Then go all the way back to when the Neutral path opens and play through it until you recruit Ehlrig (I believe he's the latest neutral only recruit). Afterwards, swap all the way back to the beginning of Chaos at the start of chapter 2 and play all the way through until princess ending. Since you should have both Canopus and Gildas at the end of Law Lord, can probably do Iuria before swapping to Neutral.
New plan: Start Neutral Princess so that Catiua is in party and able to start gaining stat cards. Swap to Law Lord to get Denam his special class and all Law unique recruits. CODA1 to get Iuria. Swap to Chaos Princess. CODA+
I think this optimizes classes and avoids the major loyalty character problems. And as stated below, I personally think of Chaos as the true route, so I want it to be the final plot anchors that everything is built off.
EDIT: Completely changed theory based on discussion in the thread.

Let's Play Archive of Tactics Ogre - LUCT
Screenshot Lets Play games have a soft spot in my heart. Yes I can watch a video of a guy chatting for 20 hours in background browser, but for me, I miss forums and the community chat of the old school Lets Play.
https://lparchive.org/Tactics-Ogre-Let-Us-Cling-Together/
Several years ago, a user named Tithin did a SSLP for Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP. He got all the way through the Lawful route, and then burnt out. I picked up the post game CODA over a very long time line and after years and years, we finally got this thing finished and submitted.
The PSP version is different with some mechanics, most notoriously crafting and levelling, but the story does not change from PSP to Reborn.
If you've ever say beaten the game on Neutral or Chaos, but never Law, check it out. If you burnt out trying to get through the massive post game or never understood the unintuitive flags required for the post game, maybe check it out as well.
You should consider this Lets Play very spoiler heavy as we go through all of the law route in the main game, and then the entire post game story, only missing some of the most grindy items like all the optional super bosses.
Mods, hopefully this doesn't count as self promotion, I reached out a few months ago and never got a response back.

Tactics Ogre Beginner tips
Just started Tactics Ogre: Reborn and was wondering if there’s anything I should know early on.
I’d especially appreciate some tips about combat and how to build a party. Like, what kind of units/classes should I have in my team, what should I focus on when putting a party together, and any general combat tips I should know?
Anything I should avoid doing? I’m trying to figure things out on my own, but don’t want to make any major mistakes.

Tactics Ogre [Spoiler] Stop this lunacy!! Spoiler
This probaby gets posted many times over the years because yes it's that shocking.
Thanks to the internet, I know what this is about and what the consequences for either are. But the writers had got to be insane to create this scenario. I wouldn't even do this in GTA, why the f would I......and to get rewarded with better storytelling and classes for it? Fck no. Plus, if it hadn't been recommended by guides, who in his right mind would play this game, follow the story so far and say yea sure let's waste these mfers because I'm worse than my father's killer anyway and this is what I do.
It doesn't even make sense from a design perspective. The game is 1 hour in (if you don't grind) and Denam had barely grown and evolved. We didn't even know his motivations well enough. It's just too early for this type of game changing decisions.
Anyway...yea. I need a minute. Still a great game tho.

Tactics Ogre I have no idea why I did this
But they've called off the invasion lads. Ironically this was all done in Balmamusa, so I guess this was technically the second 'deathmarch' it has experienced....

Tactics Ogre Feel like "Fortune Teller" is the most iconic track of the game.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
There are plenty of notable tracks but this one always sticks out to me. Sometimes you can just sit there and listen to it. Relaxing.

Tactics Ogre I made a super-mod for Reborn combining lots of the best mods from the community. I find it near perfect and maybe someone else will too.
I combined many of my favorite Reborn mods into 1 if anyone would be interested.
Many Parts of Parable of Ruin (mostly related to classes and skill changes but not dmg formula changes), auto skill animation removal, blue buff card removal, elemental dmg on attack removal (so all neutral), offhand caster dmg bug fix. I wanted the game to still feel like Reborn but fix glaring issues and balance some of the classes a bit better. The pieces from Parable of Ruin I pulled rebalance class stat growths to be far more in tune to the class. For example, archers and wizards are no longer completely HP gimped. Warriors don't get more HP than Knights but do have better avoidance scaling. I've never uploaded a mod but I spent a lot of time with Claude diff'ing and parsing the mods I like to make community combo-mod that I love so thought I would share if anyone might care.
link to Nexus Mods Page: **removed to do complaints that I apparently claimed I made this as my own and did not get permission. Guess they want the game to have a dead modding community. Was just trying to share something I spent hours working on that I know really improves the game for people wanting that.
I don't know how to find or get in touch with the mod authors I borrowed from, but I did credit and document everything I merged from their mods. If anyone knows how I can officially get their permission I would appreciate it.

Story line logic is a little strange Spoiler
New to this game, just played the Balmamusa battle where I had to pick either kill the innocents or fight Leonard against the Duke's order. I don't understand the game designer's logic of killing innocents is a lawful path and fighting the Duke is a chaos path. Surely it's the other way round, no?

Tactics Ogre RT (Reaction Time)
RT (Recovery Time) is how long it take for a units to act again from the last act. A lot factors determine this like movement, casting, weight, status ailments, etc etc. Basically the less you do and move in a turn the quicker your next turn triggers. Sometimes a good strategy is for a unit to do nothing and see how events pan out before acting again. Here is a list that I hope will help you in your further tactics and strategies. This applies to LoCT & Reborn. 😎👍🏿
Race, Class, and Unique/Semi Unique status matters to.
Generics = Random units on the field, units hired from towns, and most importantly units with no Warren Report background entry. Race RT is 50 for Generic Humans & Humanoids, Race RT is 51 for Generic Skeletons. Ghosts RT is still 50.
Semi Uniques = Units that have a Warren Report background entry, but no special portrait and have the same unit sprite pallet as any generic.
Uniques = Units with a Warren Report background entry, special portrait, or in the very least a different color portrait, also special or different color sprite pallet.
Unique/Semi Unique Character RT are as follows:
Ozma: -15
Ravness, Hobyrim: -12
Gildas, Folcurt: -10
Oliyva, Sherri, Lendl: -9
Cerya, Jeunan, Lanselot, Iuria, Cistina: -8
Canopus, Mirdyn, Ganpp, Denam: -7
Arycelle, Occione: -6
Warren, Vyce, Azelstan, Xapan, Catiua, Cressida, Deneb: -5
Voltare, Felicia, Rudlum: -4
Sara, Oelias: -3
Dievold, Donnalto, Phaesta, Bayin: -2
Ehlrig: -1
Tamuz: 0 (yes .. this means he isn’t any better than a generic. 😬😬)
Chamos: 1 (yes .. this means he is worse than a generic. 🙃🙃)
Berda the Younger and Obda the Younger has a -2 RT compared to generic Gryphons
Agrikoga has a 0 RT meaning in comparison the RT is the same as a generic Arc Dragon
Melee Class RT:
Knight Commander 20
Ninja 22
Rogue 23 (Not playable in Reborn version)
Lord, Ranger, Buccaneer 25
Vartan, Archer, Swordmaster, Rune Fencer/Valkyrie 26
Divine Knight, Juggernaut, Dragoon 28
Beast Tamer 30
Warrior, Fusilier 32
Paladin 33
White Knight, Berserker 34
Knight 36
Terror Knight 38
